WPI working to achieve campus unification by Brian Parker Features Editor For the third time in its history, WPI is considering closing W est Street betw een Institute Road and S alisb u ry S tre e t. W hile su ch a project w ould make the campus safer and more aesthetically pleasing, it would have to take our neighbors into account to be truly successful. WPI has offered similar propos als twice in the last twenty years. In 1972, the sch o o l petitioned the W orcester City Council seeking a 90-day, tem porary closing o f the street, to determ ine its impact ( Tech News vol. 64, no. 7). A study the previous spring had found out that over fifty percent o f the average daily flow of traffic on the street was cam pus-related. When this was factored along w ith the 10.7% grade near Alden Hall and over 8,000 pedes trian crossings per day, WPI felt it had a strong case for closing. Perm ission for temporary closing was granted, as long as em ergency

This was seen as a delay to the ultimate goal o f a unified campus, a delay which would last until WPI had improved its relations with the community and felt it could pro ceed. WPI has undertaken the neces sary traffic studies with the assis tance of Sasaki Associates, an engi neering firm which has worked with many colleges in the United States for various projects.

Interim President John Lott Brown arrives on campus by Tom Sico Associate Editor Imagine 50 years into the future you get a phone call from an old class mate and friend. You talk about fam ily and friends, and work. Then the friend asks you if you would be inter ested in becoming the interim presi dent of your alma mata. That’s what happened to Dr. John Lott Brown, the current Interim President of WPI, who says that he “wouldn’t have dreamed of [becoming the President of WPI] and would have told you you were crazy if you had suggested it.” Dr. Brown is not at all unfamiliar with WPI, having been a student here in the early 4 0 ’s and a trustee from

1971-1983. He attributes these rela tionships to WPI as being the main reasons he currently is our interim president. But as his Curriculum Vi tae shows, these are not the only rea sons that he was selected for the posi tion. Immediately prior to coming to WPI he was acting as the Interim Di rector of the Center for Microelec tronics Research at the University of Southern Florida. He has also held numerous academic positions at the University of Southern Florida, Uni versity of Rochester, Kansas State University, the University of Pennsyl vania, University of Freilberg, West Germany, and Columbia University, as well as administrative positions at Florida, Rochester, Kansas, Pennsyl

vania, Columbia, and the Naval Air Development Center. He has also served in numerous organizations and has been widely published. Speaking about his first week at WPI, Dr. Brown says “It’s been busy. I’ve had back to back meetings, and when I am not having meetings I am pretty buried in paperwork, trying to get up to speed with what is going on.” He has been meeting with the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, and student leaders, discussing everything from how to keep the budget balanced to the Founder’s Dinner, held this past weekend. He is trying to scope out how various groups feel about the direction WPI is heading in, and where they would like to see it going. Dr.

Campus Center plans still in the works by Kristen Greene Graphics Editor Plans for the WPI Campus C en ter, which were begun last year, are still being developed. The Campus Center Com m ittee, consisting of a number of faculty, staff, and stu dents, are currently hard at work. F u n d ra isin g for th is im p o rta n t project is already taking place, and construction of the planned 39,545 square foot building is projected to begin as early as June of 1996. Original planning for the center be gan in September o f 1994, with visits by the Campus Center Committee to several area colleges in order to assess their campus centers. Visits were made to Amherst College, Wesleyan Col lege, and Bryant College. The pur pose of these visits was to get ideas for W PI’s Campus Center, as well as to learn from others’ mistakes. These ideas were incorporated with ideas from a number of focus groups, con sisting of individual students, student organizations, alumni, faculty and staff. In addition, surveys and meet ings with consultants took place. Lists of problems to be addressed with the

building of the campus center; as well as a number of goals of the campus center were developed in this stage. It is hoped that the construction of a campus center will address a num ber of problems that currently exist on campus. Among them are: an overall lack of center to the campus; lack of space for necessities such as campus programming, student ac tivities, storage and offices; inad equate meeting rooms; inefficient campus dining space and a lack of proximity between student service o ffices and student organization space. Presently, the entire campus is currently operated as a ’’campus center;” a problem that can be solved by the addition of a Campus Center to WPI. A number of goals for WPI’s Cam pus Center have been created. One goal is to provide a more friendly and open atmosphere for all community members, as well as a gathering place for the whole community. Another is to build a sense of community and pride. In addition, a campus center would have the ability to unify under graduate and graduate students in one setting, as well as offer a place where

students and faculty could get together. According to Janet Richardson, As sistant Vice President for Student Af fairs, the center should be “a place where the campus can come together.” The proposed plans for the cam pus center include space for a num ber of essential services. There will be an arrival lobby and an inform a tion and reception area, which will provide an introduction to the center and would provide information about upcoming events on campus. The post office and student mailboxes, as well as the bookstore and conve nience store, would be moved from their present location of Daniels Hall into the new center. A food court, as well as a coffeehouse and a pub/ restaurant, will provide a large vari ety of dining options and different atm ospheres to students, faculty, staff and visitors. Conference rooms, with the possibility of sm aller, adja cent meeting rooms would serve the needs of many members of the WPI community. A number of lounges would be located around the build ing, and would include facilities such See Campus Center continued on page 2

Brown is assuming the responsibili ties formerly held by Jon Strauss, who left for a position with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. His Tim e at Tech John Lott Brown arrived on the WPI campus as an electrical engineer ing student in the fall of 1942, less than a year after the attack on Pearl Harbor and with the country in the full flurry of war. He had registered for the Navy’s delayed entry program so that he could attend school. He describes himself at the time as being “imma ture, but mature for 17 years old, since my birthday was not until December.” While at WPI, he became a member of Phi Gam, played intercollegiate soc cer, and wrote a column covering WPI sports called ‘Sport’s Sidelights’ for the then student newspaper, The Tech News. When Dr. Brown entered WPI as a freshman, he was housed in ‘Sanford Riley, West End, North Corner.’ This is where he spent his first year, when

he wasn’t in class, that is. But when he came back for his sophomore year, he discovered the V -l 2 program had been initiated. This program allowed a student to begin in the Navy as an Apprentice Seaman, finish his (all stu dents at Tech then were male) school ing, and enter Midshipman’sTraining School. Brown says “apparently [the Navy] wanted good engineers and this was a way to get the best of both worlds.” Brown entered the program, and was no longer just a student living in Sanford Riley, but was an Apprentice Seaman in ‘Sanford Riley Barracks, First Floor.’ There were six people to a two person room. His classmates were fellow Navy recruits, civilians, and others. He says that he was “ lucky enough to get a break when, early in ‘44, I came down with Scarlet Fever and was sent to the Chelsea Naval Hospital for three months.” On his return to Tech, he says “The Lt. Com mander gave me my choices of places See Brown confined on page 2

Visitors crowd Alden Hall for Global Opportunities Fair by M ichael W. Dorsey University Relations A record 490 students, faculty members and adm inistrators attended the 1994 Global Opportunities Fair in Alden Memorial on November 4, according to fair organizer Marche Haddad, who says the high turnout was a reflection of the major role that global studies play in a WPI education. “Very few people realize that WPI is al ready the national leader in international education in technical field s,” she says. “Nationally, only 2 percent of U.S. students study abroad. Students in engineering and technical fields are the least likely to get this opportunity. At WPI, 30 percent of our undergraduates participate in the Global Pro gram. We are beginning to gain a national reputation in this field and we should be very proud.” Haddad says many passers-by were attracted to the fair by the activity, noise and smells. Bradford Groves from the Career Develop ment Center said he was drawn in on his way home when the “popcorn smell whiffed by my nose and the merengue music stirred my feet.” Inside Alden, visitors were greeted by ethnic music, decorations, and the flags of 80 nations. The event was fueled by the energy of more than 50 student volunteers. The fair showcased opportunities for stu dents to participate in W PI’s Global Program, .which includes more than 20 project centers and exchange programs around the globe. There were information tables-for each center and programs where students could talk with the faculty directors and with students who have already participated. Leolyn Osborn of the

Campus Center Continued from page 1 as seating and TVs. A game room and mul tipurpose room are also included in the plans, "as well as an area for vending machines and an ATM machine. The Campus Center will be able to accom modate a number of student organizations, such as the Student Government Associa tion, the Graduate Student O rganization, and the IFC/Panhellenic Council, w ith the possi bility of also accom m odating several student publications. Storage space will be available for Lens and Lights, as well as other storage areas for organizations on cam pus that do not currently have office space. It is also a good possibility that the center would have office space for the Student A ctivities Office and the Student Life Office, which are currently located in Daniels Hall. The Campus Center Committee is currently in the process of choosing a site on which to build. This process consists of exploring any possible site on campus, and at the same time developing criteria for a successful campus center so that each site can be weighted against that criteria. Some examples of what those criteria may include are: building near the physical center of the campus rather than on a perimeter; building in a safe, well-lit area; allowing access for service vehicles, as well as cars and pedestrians and the aesthetics of a particular surrounding. Another issue to consider would be the land on which it is to be built, and whether or not building on a particular site would block important views on campus or destroy “sa cred land.” A major issue to consider in the site selection process is parking. Many prob lems with parking currently exist on campus, and the building o f a campus center will only add to this problem. A suitable site for the center would be one that is adjacent to a parking area. The Campus C enter Commit tee is looking at sites on campus with enough square footage to accom modate the building, and is open to any suggestions. Plans for the WPI Campus Center are not yet final. If you would like more information or would like to offer any suggestions re garding the building, you can do so by con tacting Janet Richardson, A ssistant Vice President for Student Affairs, via email at jbrich@ wpi.

Visitors attended the Global Opportunities Fair last Friday, November 4, to learn about the numerous off-campus project opportunities offered by WPI.

Brown returns to WPI Continued from page I to go for basic training (students that did not keep their grades up were sent to the military), and I begged him to let me try and catch up. Apparently I did it to his satisfaction because I was never sent away.” Dr. Brown thinks that he got a very well rounded education here at WPI and believes that this broader background has served him well in the world, saying “I was not a terribly good student, but I was pleased and delighted to realize how good my education was.” How well rounded an engineering education did he get, you may wonder? Remember, this is back when vacuum tubes were the major compo nents in electronic devices, not transistors and integrated circuits. The EE curriculum in cluded surveying, during which they surveyed Boynton Hill; Machine Drawing (no comput ers to do it for you); wood patterns and molds of their machines were common sites for EE’s too. And the ME’s made bench grinders from the bottom up. Students couldn’t even learn about RADAR because it was still classified material. Brown says that his actual electrical course lasted about one semester. Social events of his time were more con trolled, especially with the stricter rules in place about interaction between the sexes. Dances and dates were common with “gals from Becker College and from the local Worces ter area attending.” Many of the Navy guys would hitchhike down Route 9 on the week ends, going to Boston with their sailor’s uni forms on. “ People would give you a ride anywhere. There was a lot less fear of a mugging, especially from a guy in uniform,” he says. “There may not have been much,” he adds, “but you enjoyed what you did have.” Among his fondest memories of WPI, Dr. Brown lists the feelings of accomplishment that graduation provided. It was a beautiful day, with his family and friends here, and lots of things opening up for the future as the end of the war seemed to be approaching. He says he has no bad memories of Tech. If there was something that he could go back and do differently, Dr. Brown says that he would pay more attention to the classes that he didn’t like when he was an undergraduate. Among the best changes since he was here, Brown lists the WPI Plan and its uniqueness. He says that he is surprised at it being devised here, because engineering institutions have more requirements for accreditation than most schools. He doesn’t believe there are any bad changes. Most things that have gone bad at Tech are related to the economy and politics, and have been felt by all schools. These days Dr. Brown enjoys water sking, ‘though I haven’t had the chance to do it in a couple of weeks,’ he says with a smile. He is certified for SCUBA diving, and has taught courses in it. He also enjoys running, cycling, light weightlifting, and calisthenics. He also like to read, both novels and serious work. “I would like to take a stab at writing something serious, but light. Maybe a tongue-in-cheek handbook for university presidents about dif ferent things that can happen in the job.” Dr. Brown is also involved with the Executive Service Corps, a group of former administra

tors who offer consulting services to charitable organizations. He is currently finishing up a year as president of the Tampa area group. When his time at WPI is finished, Dr. Brown is probably going to do a little more traveling to see family and friends. “I am in something of an interesting position because I know there is a definite end to my job, and I know approxi mately when it is.” Then he will return to Tampa and see what happens. Mrs. Brown keeps telling him that he “needs to learn to handle retirement better.” Dr. Brown officially retired in May of 1992, but you wouldn’t know

that with how busy this gentleman is. Dr. Brown does have some advice for stu dents today. “You are coming into an opportu nity,” he says. “You will never be sorry for taking as much advantage of the opportunities presented as possible - in academics, and by participating in extracurricular activities like clubs, the newspaper, and athletics. You will, however, be sorry in the long run for not taking advantage of the opportunities that you could have. Make college as rich an experience as possible, and it will increase the likelihood of you getting an exciting job in the future.”

Weekly sports update - results from November 4th through 10th by G e o ff H assard Sports In form ation D irector For the past two years the final game of the regular season between the Engineers and Ply mouth State has had conference and postseason implications. Saturday’s game will be no dif ferent as the Panthers will probably be going to the NCAA Playoffs and WPI will be looking to make a strong case for themselves in the ECAC with a win. This past Saturday, the Engineers (5-3,3-1) put together a total team effort for 60 minutes and defeated the Bears of Coast Guard (4-4,2-3) 32-20. “We talked about coming out and setting the tempo of the gam e,” Coach Kevin Morris said. He continued, “The differ ence in this game was that the big plays we made early were converted into touchdowns.” Junior cornerback Kevin Ranucci (Warwick, RI) blocked two punts which led to two touch downs and junior Chris Moore intercepted a pass to set up another as WPI jumped out to a quick 20-0 lead in the first eight minutes of the game and never looked back. Quarterback Tom Burns (Milford, MA) connected with se nior wide receiver Dave Swedick (Johnstown, NY) (8 catches/119 yards, 3 TDs) on an 11yard pass for the first score and then hit junior wide receiver Dan Horgan (Ashburnham, MA) for the second score. The third score was by tailback Ernie Ansah (Worcester, MA) on a four-yard run. The score remained the same until late in the second quarter when Coast Guard put together an 11-play drive that cov ered 83 yards, capped off by a 13-yard touch down pass to close the score to 20-7. The Engineers were not done yet as they came right back with a touchdown pass of their own, from Burns to Swedick that covered 30 yards to move the score to 26-7 at halftime. • In the second half, Coast Guard took their first possession and drove 55 yards in 12 plays for the score to cut the WPI lead to 2614. At the end of the third quarter, Ranucci. intercepted a pass to stall a Bears drive at the WPI nine yard line. The Engineers drove 91 yards in 8 plays and Burns hit Swedick on a three-yard pass to increase the lead back to 18 points with 13 minutes still remaining. The Engineer defense kept the Bears in check until the last play of the game when they scored for the final 32-20. Coach Morris stated, “T his was our best effort all year. We came up with big plays on both sides of the ball as well as on special teams and put the game aw ay with consistency in our execu tion.” Ranucci was selected as the Gold Helmet

w inner in Division II/III as the most out standing player last Saturday in New En gland. Burns (23 of 39/240 yards/4 TDs) was named to the ECAC Weekly Honor Roll for the first time this season. Swedick ended the game with eight catches for 119 yards and three touchdowns while Ansah fell short of his fifth consecutive 100 yard rushing day with 96 yards on 19 carries and one touch down. Horgan had a career best 90 yards receiving on 10 catches and one touchdown. Other standout perform ances on defense were turned in by ju n io r outside linebacker Khalid Rucker (Brooklyn, NY) who had 11 tackles, senior free safety Matt W assel (W alpole, MA) who had 11 tackles, ju n io r nose tackle

Rich Regan (Framingham, MA) who had 11 tackles, 3 for lost yardage and senior defen sive tackle Tom Dube (Jay, ME) who had 10 tackles, 3 for lost yardage. Men’s and W om en’s Cross Country - Men (6-2); Women (4-7-1) The men’s and w om en’s cross country teams traveled to Albany State last Saturday to participate in the ECAC Division III Cross C ountry C ham pionships. Coach Brian Savilonis was looking for both his teams to gain valuable experience that would help them in the future. The men finished in 18th place out of 26 full teams. Sophomore Joe Danubio (Pem-

broke, MA) was the team ’s high finisher in 54th place. Also running well for the Engi n ee rs w e re ju n io r s S tev e L ab ran c h e (Uncasville, CT) and Ian Quinn (Hudson, NH) as well as freshman Michael Kearns (Saugus, MA). The women finished in 21st place out of 23 full teams. The top finisher for the Engi neers was captain Deb Fraser (Merrimack, NH) as she came in at 97th. Not too far behind her was sophomore Tracey Cronin (Abington, MA) at 1 14th place as she turned in a season best 22:31 at 5K. Running per sonal best times at the distance were sopho more Sylvia Puchovsky (Dudley, MA) and freshman Lydia Love (Nashville, TN).

Women’s soccer elevated to varsity status by G eo ff Hassard Sports Inform ation Director Former president Jon C. Strauss of Worces ter Polytechnic Institute announced that the college will sponsor women’s varsity soccer beginning with the 1995-96 academic year. The varsity status process was initiated when the women’s soccer club team petitioned the college Athletic Council. The club, which has been in existence for nine years, developed a proposal which included a budget plan, interest level, and anticipated numbers of participants as well as a schedule of possible opponents. The council consists of five student-athletes, one alumnus, two faculty members, one admin istration member, and two members of the De partment of Physical Education and Athletics.

Director of Physical Education and Athletics, Raymond Gilbert, recommended unanimous acceptance of the proposal that was approved by President Strauss. The varsity team will compete in the New England Women’s 8 Conference with Babson College, Clark University, Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, Wellesley College and Wheaton College as well as non-conference opponents in the region. With WPI sponsoring varsity soc cer, the NEW-8 Conference will have a full complement of institutions competing in inseason play and vying for the season ending championship. Gilbert had this to say of the move: “By adding women’s varsity soccer, WPI believes that there will be an increase in the number of

prospective students interested in attending WPI to pursue academic and athletic interests. It will provide an opportunity for our women to par ticipate on the varsity level in soccer against quality opponents. The club team has demon strated consistent numbers of players with an interest in playing soccer. We have a talented group of student-athletes attending WPI with a high school background in soccer.” With the elevation of women’s soccer, WPI now sponsors 19 sports at the varsity level; 10 for men and 9 for women. The men’s varsity sports include baseball, basketball, cross coun try, football, golf, soccer, swimming, tennis, track & field and wrestling. The women’s varsity sports include basketball, cross country, field hockey, softball, swimming, tennis, track & field and volleyball.

COMMENTARY

Philler Flea Bites and Lounge Acts, Don't Touch That Dial by L aurel a n d G uinevere G reetings and salutations once again. W e're baaaaaack. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the... um, water? No, that's not right. We show er alone. [Sigh] Anyway, we were thinking again (yes, for the first time this week), and discovered that the true m eaning of life can be found w hile w atching the FOX Kids Club, specifically Animaniacs. Don't believe us? Stay tuned and you will. [Public Service Announcement] The inclusion o f Cable TV in every dorm room is the greatest thing since sliced bread. College life has now becom e w onderful. C lasses are trivial, i.e., we don't go. Our GPAs are dropping like flies in an inordi nately high gravitational field, but our knowledge of Boob-Tube-ology has increased significantly in the last two terms. Besides, now we don't even have to venture out o f our rooms and into the lounges to watch the WPI channel. Isn't that great!? M odern technology, my friends. Modern technology will save us from

the evils of modern society, w hat ever that means. We're not sure, but someone said it on a talk show, so it must be true. Besides, it sounds w icked deep... T he re a so n fo r th is lengthy statem en t (w hile clear to us a few minutes ago) has now lost all basis in real ity, but that just makes it that much closer to our new god television. We pray to it at least ten hours a day while its flickering aura bathes us in wondrous continuum of the collective minds of our digi tally-linked planet, and nonlethal radiation doses (or so we hope). In this stage of our devel opment, we need the lov ing, guiding hand of Animaniacs to help us through the difficult times of college life. Faithfully tuning in every day, we have learned the truth about life, so elegantly expressed by "Pinky" of Pinky and the Brain. Just watch and you will know the truth of his wisdom, however obscure it may

seem...

Thanks for that tidbit of info. It was waaaaay back that we did that thing about the cover of the course catalog. Hmmm, you must be a v et eran reader... However, some o f our readers won't remember, either be cause they w eren't here at the time, or just slacked off in reading our column. We'll give them the ben efit of the doubt, and say that they're Freshmen, shall we? The story goes a little som e thing like this: If you look at the cover of the 94-95 Course Catalog, you will notice the near total lack of stuff and thingies on the roofs of build ings. W hile this may not seem all that unusual, if you get a ^ hold of a 91-92 Course C ala m i' log, which has all sorts of things shown on rooftops, the blatant attempt at deception is revealed! Hmmm, a liberal dose of airbrushing anyone? (Story time is over. Please turn over the record if you wish to continue the story...) Some people just come up with the most bizarre questions: W hat’s the ow l doing over the entry-way to Fuller??? [The owl is a lousy attem pt to put a hex on Fuller Labs. As the story goes, the Civils were tired of being made fun of, so they hired a w itch to put a spell on the CS's pride and joy - Fuller Labs. However, the witch was not very able in her spell cast ing, so she messed up a little. The original intent o f the spell has long since been forgotten, but the effect still remains in the form of that silly owl. So, the moral o f this story is, always hire a reputable witch when seeking revenge, or you'll lose all your pigeons.] What are the Blue & Red “Safety Dots " doing on the lights in the ADP ? ?? [Is this a trick question?] D id you know that the fu n k y gate in the stairwell o f Fuller (between B & SB) is fo r fire-escape reasons... so people d o n ’t continue down to the Sub-basem ent in a fire... [As most people know, human beings are basically large, not-quiteso-furry lemmings. W ithout proper guidance, they will flee to the lowest point available beneath the danger in question (unless a high and more dangerous one is available, ala ev ery silly ad v e n tu re/sp y /m y ste ry / th riller movie chase scene), and hence to their collective doom. This is known as the Lem ming Effect, for reasons obvious to ornithologists. T his gate, or person-oriented-soyou-don't-do-som ething-dum b-barrier (P. O. S. Y. D. D. S. D. B.), is designed to help those people who tend to run when danger threatens, but not necessarily in the right direc tion. It also prevents absentm inded

And now a word from our spon sors: (ok, they're just fans, but we'd only have a four paragraph article if it wasn't for them.) Anyone in the Radio C l u b ( not

R adio Station) can tell you that the door at the top o f the stairway leads to the radio club room (and the roof). I bet th e y ’ll be pissed about this since they were also airbrushed o ff the course catalog! -Patrick Delahanty

Just a Thought Overworked and Overaddicted by Stephen Brown P rotestant C am pus M inistry Today, Tuesday, November 15, at 4:00pm in Kinnicutt Hall, a very important lecture will be given here at WPI. Judith Schor, a Harvard Scholar, will present The Hull Lec ture on “O verworked A m ericans: R eflections on Tim e, W ork, and M oney.” If there w as ever a lecture that this overw orked, over-stressed, over professional campus needed to hear, it is the message Schor has to bring us. In her book of the same name, Schor presents a devastating indict ment of late 20th century American society. W ithout giving away too much of the lecture, I will tell you that Schor believes we Americans are w orking more hours for less money, yet spending more money and more time shopping than any culture on the face o f the earth. And we w onder why people are angry and vote out o f their pain and frus tration. We are literally driving our selves and our families and our cul ture straight into oblivion because we c a n ’t get ahead, we don’t take care o f ourselves, and don’t take time for anything besides working and getting and using. In fact, Schor says we even sleep less nowadays. Great! A whole nation of over worked insomniacs! Worse, ourgreatinstitutionsof learn

ing are turning out more of the same as fast as they can. Don’t think so, well, let me give you some evidence that might keep you up a night or two. According to a study done by the Healthy Alternatives Office here, 73% of WPI students have used alcohol in the last 30 days. And 42% of WPI students “binge,” which means they have 5 or more drinks in one setting. For WPI students, the average drinks per “binge” is 6.8. WHAT IS EVEN WORSE, CLOSE TO 40% OF STU DENTS WHO DRINK DID NOT COM E TO WPI DISPOSED TO DRINK OR USE ALCOHOL. You got it right folks; this place drives a great many people to drink. I can hear the protests from ad m inistrators and faculty. Oh no, it is not our fault. We don’t force them to drink. A fter all, they are adults, they have to be responsible for them selves. Meanwhile we look the other way when a student’s performance falls off in our class or seminar, do n ’t care if there are few “ alcohol free” alternative social events, which 46% of our students say they want, or if the police have to respond to another passed out student. Hey, it is not our fault. Maybe it isn ’t. But just maybe the system, the environment we have created is conducive to ill health and addiction. Just maybe we have so adapted the workaholic lifestyle so well here as a professional and aca

dem ic way of doing things, that we invite the possibility for students to mirror the overworked people Judith Schor so eloquently w rites about. And just maybe we, like Cain, can not get away with the “Am I my b r o th e r ’s k e e p e r” ex c u se much longer. All too soon the great Care taker may well ask us at WPI what bottle our students are buried in. M eanwhile, the Healthy Alterna tives Office struggles to stay in op eration. I am told by some sources that they are having a hard time just getting on the Trustees agenda to be even considered for further funding. And you wonder why I am using this column to scream? Ok, you go hear Judith Schor today at 4:00 and then com e tell me we have no problem here at WPI. I regret I didn’t get over to greet our new interim p resid en t, Jack Brown, last Friday. Well, Mr. Presi dent, if you d on’t mind a few words of advice from a curm udgeon/cam pus minister, do us all a favor: can cel whatever you have on your sched ule and go over to Kinnicutt and hear Dr. Schor. Then invite Mary Cox and the Healthy Alternatives staff to make their argument for their continued life here at WPI. It just might be the best thing you can do for us at WPI during your term.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Unborn Children Feel Pain, a British Study Shows To the Editor: A noteworthy article in the Septem ber 7,1994 issue of the National Right to Life’s Chapter Newsletter reads: “England - Unborn babies undergo ing blood transfusions showed the same hormonal response to pain as do older children and adults, according to a study published in the British journal Lancet. ‘This study provides the first direct evidence that the fetus has a hormonal stress response to invasive stimuli,’ the researchers wrote in the July 9 Lancet. The researchers went on to recommend that doctors use anes thesia when performing potentially painful operations on unborn children. ‘This applies not just to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures on the fetus,’ they wrote, ‘but possibly also to termi nation of pregnancy, especially by sur

gical techniques involving dismem berment.’ Pro-lifers immediately rec ognized the irony in suggesting that abortionists lessen the discomfort of those they are about to kill.” This is yet more new scientific evi dence of the humanity of unborn chil dren. Along with ultrasound, microphotography, and other relatively re cent technologies, this evidence sup ports the fact that each human life begins at the moment of human con ception. With these scientific discov eries, the unborn child which once was usually viewed as a “fuzzy image” or “blob of tissue” has now clearly come into focus as a developing but fully human life, “fearfully and wonderfully made.” Donald L. Farley II Class of 1985, MS CS

Hints to troubled freshmen by Mia LeMay Class o f ‘96 So, you’ve survived your first term at WPI. Some of you may have been able to adapt quickly and do well, despite many changes. But it’s a fair assumption that most of you were a bit surprised and/or disheartened when, at last, you saw your grades. Well, take heart, you are not alone. Freshman year is a period of great adjustment, both academically and so cially. The change from high school to college academics can be a rough and rocky road. Don’t beat yourself over the head wondering why you aren’t doing as well as you did before. It is important to remember that it is all relative to the challenge at hand. Your college performance should be judged by different criteria than in high school. Do you feel that you did the absolute best you could? Have you adapted your study habits to your new envi ronment? These, and many more fac tors figure into an accurate assess ment of your performance. So, take your A-term experiences and use them

to your advantage. If you did well, congrats - keep it up! If you didn’t do as well as you had hoped, assess your self and go from there! You will soon turn in your registra tion forms for C and D term classes. For many, these choices will not be easy. Maybe you don’t really know what courses to take to fit in your major, or maybe you don’t even have a major yet. FEAR NOT! There is still time to get the necessary informa tion, if you are still in doubt, and make changes to your schedule. Resources are all around you. Talk to your Resi dent Advisor, or other upper-class stu dents you know. Make an appoint ment to see a professor in your major. In a few weeks, the Major Selection Program peer advising program will be put in place, allowing you, through the MSP and the Career Development Center, to get in touch with an upperclass student in your major. So, don’t feel locked into a major you may not want. There is still time. This article was brought to you by the Major Selection Program, helping students choose majors.

Rencis received his B.S. in Architectural Engineering T echnology from the M ilw aukee School of Engineering, his M.S. in Structural Mechanics from N orth w estern University, and his Ph.D. in Engineering M echanics from Case W estern Reserve University. Rencis is very active in com puta tional mechanics research. His work in the boundary element method has been extensively cited by the inter national community. He serves on the editorial board of Engineering

A nalysis with Boundary E lem ents and has published numerous journal papers. He also co-organized many national and international m eetings in clu d in g the 15th In tern atio n al Boundary Element M ethods C on ference held at WPI in A ugust of 1993. A member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Society of Civil Engi neers, Rencis also belongs to the American Society of Engineering Education and the American A cad emy of Mechanics. He is on the advisory board for engineering tech nology at Sussex Vo-Tech, and was a summ er faculty fellow at NASA

Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio and at Hanscom Air Force Base in Boston. This is the second consecutive year the Russell M. Searle Distinguished Instructorship has been awarded at WPI. The instructorship is given in honor of Russell M. Searle, Class of 1915, who served as an engineer for the U.S. Government, Ford Instru ments, Corning Glass Co., the Sherman Corp. and Lehman Bros. Searle, who died in 1968, was described by his associates as “a torch of strength, a wise voice in counsel, a rock of virtue and a constant source of inspiration to all.”

ETS moves to eliminate paper and pencil version of GRE Students planning to take the Gradu ate Record Exam (GRE) may be sur prised to learn that the February 1995 administration has been removed this year as a first step towards phasing out the paper and pencil version entirely by 1997. According to Jose Ferreira, Director of GRE Programs for Kaplan Educational Centers, the nation’s larg est test preparation organization, stu-

dents who wish to avoid the computer ized GRE must take the exam on De cember 10th, if they plan to meet win ter application deadlines. “The computerized GRE does offer some benefits. Students have a wider choice of test dates and can get their scores immediately,” explained Mr. Ferreira. “ But the computerized for mat doesn’t enable students to change

answers or mark up problems in their test booklets. Many students find this format intimidating and are simply more comfortable with a paper and pencil test.” The GRE is the first major exam of its kind to shift to a computerized for mat, and will likely serve as a paradigm for other standardized tests such as the SAT, LSAT, and MCAT.

the street has yet to see a pedestrian accident, it has frequently been noted that this is due to luck and perhaps some quick thinking on the part of motorists and students. Any closing of the street would still allow for the passage of em er gency vehicles. This could be easily be accom plished by making the area sim ilar to the renovated Freeman Plaza. Keeping the current street passable and putting benches and trees along the sides would improve the area in the center of our campus. Although it could be argued that such im provem ents could, techni cally, take place without the closing of the street, it is doubtful that such

an area would be used. As any of the volunteers who took part in the traf fic study could tell you, watching traffic can become somewhat dull after a few hours. In summary, WPI is currently con sidering a project which would greatly improve the quality of life on campus. This change might cause some of our neighbors to alter their driving pat terns in some small ways, but these minor inconveniences would have a positive impact on the city as a whole. During the upcoming weeks, the ad ministration will continue to consider the closing of West Street and will decide not only what is best for WPI, but also what is best for its neighbors.

It is currently estimated that there are over ten thousand pedestrian crossings on West Street every day, making safety a larger concern to day than twenty years ago. Although

the street has yet to see a pedestrian accident, it has frequently been noted that this is due to luck and perhaps some quick thinking on the part of motorists and students. Any closing of the street would still allow for the passage o f emer gency vehicles. This could be easily be accomplished by making the area sim ilar to the renovated Freeman Plaza. Keeping the current street passable and putting benches and trees along the sides would improve the area in the center of our campus. A lthough it could be argued that such improvements could, techni cally, take place without the closing of the street, it is doubtful that such

CLUB C ORNER

ACM Hello again! ACM would like to welcome the new members that have joined in the first two terms of this year. We would also like to thank SWE for tolerating our company on Hal loween! ACM is ready with some great stuff coming up! ACM has already been in nano-motion this year! We have held help sessions in CS 1005 and CS 2005. On top of that, we had a program ming contest. The talent displayed was terrific! The famous Tutorials will be happening pretty soon, watch out for that. An ACM-Tutorial is anarchy in its most poetic form. STUDENTS TAKE OVER THE LABS AND TEACH OTHER STUDENTS! If you want to attend these, or maybe take over the lab, tell us! A tee-shirt design contest will be occurring. Enter your computer-theme idea to ACM and put your mark on the chests and backs of WPI. Have fun,..... I implore ACMers to check their e-mail today for any things that might happen. Also, if you haven’t paid the small $5 yearly fee, it is not too late to join in this excellent year ACM is having, thanks to the smart, enthusiastic members. Questions? Send e-mail to acm@wpi.

AIChE Welcome back for another term of Chemical Engineering heaven. Sorry for slacking in the upkeep of the column but as we seniors know so well, we have devoted our life to Unit Ops. But don’t worry seniors, just one lab left, then NO .MORE Unit Ops!!! And if you are a junior, we wish you luck next year, all that you have heard about this wonderful class is true, and more. We have a lot of exciting things planned for this term. This past weekend, six of our terrific officers and members went to San Francisco for the annual national student conference. They had a great time and discovered many ways to help make our club as fun and exciting as it should be. Last Thursday night our environ mental committee got together with GAEA and had a meeting for starting a recycling program on campus. They are really trying to get this thing off the ground, so go out of your way to support them and if you’re interested in getting involved, they would love the help. This Friday we have the GUPPY Night planned. It involves a tour of Walthan Polaroid Corporation and dinner at the Sheraton-Tara in Lexington, followed by speeches and an awards presentation. There are going to be several other chapters from the area attending. It will be a great way to meet people and have fun. So come to the meetings and get involved, help to make this a great term in Goddard Hall.

Alpha Phi Omega Hi all! Well, w e’ve got a busy month of service and fun going here. Tonight and tomor row (the 15th and 16th) is the servant auction! Thanks to all the brothers who sat in the mailroom and made people sign up. Thanks also, in advance, to everyone who is participating in any way. This Saturday will be a whole fun-filled day of APO activity. We start with raking leaves at the Worcester Children’s Friends So ciety, I hope you all can come. After working, and even if you didn’t, there will be a lasagna dinner at Grossi’s place starting at 5pm. I hope everyone had fun at conclave, I can’t wait to hear about it (of course, ours will be better, right?!).

ASME Well, here we are again with the weekly “we are having a meeting this week” column. But this week we really are having a meeting. It will be on Wednesday at 7:00pm in a room to be announced. If anything changes, you’ll be no tified through e-mail. I’ll send out some e-mail regarding the exact time and location of the meeting hopefully by the time you read this. 1 have my first job interview in an hour so other things are on my mind, but let me see if I can remember some of the stuff going on with ASME. As was mentioned in previous ASME columns, we are going to go on a plant tour at Bose. Sue, our secretary co-oped there, so I know she is working hard on getting a tour planned (right Sue?). We could get a tour of NASA from our treasurer Joe but that would mean having to go to Cleveland, so I think that one is out of the picture. Oh yeah, we are currently planning to have a social with the...civil engineers. I would like to personally point out that all jokes relating to civils in past ASME columns were President D an’s. I write the important stuff. Some enterprising civil (formerly an ME though) informed me that civils make a lot of money contrary to the factual salaries published in last w eek’s col umn. Did you take into account the extra year’s tuition civils need to graduate? Not much else going on right now. For of you who don’t know, ASME is getting a lounge in Higgins

when the construction workers are done smash ing things. Check your e-mail and see you at the meeting, where w e’ll probably have a wide variety of orange-cheese snacks to choose from.

Chinese Student Association Hello to you, you, you, you, and *don’t hide...I see you* you (YES, you). So how is everyone doing?...hope everything is going well with ev eryone and that no one has frozen yet. Hmm...it DOES seem like we all need to warm up a little...what better way than to play some IM games (or watch some, for that matter). For the people that missed it, we’re proud (and happy, of course) to say that we did very well in all our intramural games last week...as usual, slap (actu ally, a pat would suffice) a player on the back if you happen to run across one. Hmm...so what’s happening besides IM games, you ask?...hm m ...now th a t’s a tough question...NOT. As you all should know (since there are a bunch of flyers out, stuff on the system, people selling tickets, etc.), CSA is sponsoring a dinner, “The Night of the Dragons,” as it is called, and it should be GREAT! You will get a chance to eat some really good Chinese food (NOT catered by DAKA, mind you) and have a nice relaxing evening filled with ‘Chinese entertain ment’ for only $8.00. Once again, space is limited, so get your ticket(s) now. Well, besides that little plug there for the dinner (it’s gonna be good...so go), I think we just had a fun Scavenger Hunt ‘party thingy’ last night. Hope everyone that went enjoyed them selves and that no one got lost too badly. If it was good, guess w e’ll hafta do it again sometime, so for all those that missed it, join ussome other time. Okey-dokey then, it’s been a long week, so I’ll shut up here and leave ya be. Have a good day (oh, have a good week too, for that matter)! Take care and keep warm now. Later. P.S. Our cool Sports T-shirt is gonna be out soon so get your money ready.

8pm only $2.00. Come see quality theatre at it’s finest. In other news, the Masque C term show will be Fahrenheit 47; contact Noah Weisleder (wildman@wpi) for more informa tion. Look for upcoming auditions for both the masque C term show and the MWRep C term d o u b le -b ill; co n tac t C h ristin a Freem an kat@wpi for more info regarding MWRep. Have a great turkey day next week and don’t forget A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM this weekend in Alden Hall. Be there. For more information about a midsummer e-mail masque or wildman.

National Society of Pershing Rifles Well, here is my article for this week, so Jewett cannot bug me about missing a week again. Initiation planning, continuing, even with our pathetic number of pledges. Miss Athena Pag eant, or what ever it was called: it better have went ok, I was there, but not at the time I am writing this. Veterans’ Day: Horrible turn out for the parade, but it went ok other than that rather severe draw back. Flag pole guarding, ooo exciting, yes I know that it was incredibly boring to do, but the least some of you could have done was put in a half an hour out there, it was not that bad, heck, I was out an hour, complain, complain you know how it is. Anyway, it is almost five and I am nearing my deadline so I will hit my last item of business, I am REALLY sorry about what I put in the article last week about the pledges, I do not know what came over me, I swear it will NEVER happen again, you have my word. I also extend my severe regret to anyone who experienced extreme dizziness or blackouts due to my com

ments on the pledges’ progress. To make up for it, here is the following commentary: Boy, you pledges are doing pathetic!! I have never seen a pledge class that was so completely ate up. I would call you the worst pledge class we have ever had, but it would insult all of our previous pledge classes to call you a pledge class! That is all.

PreMed/Vet Society Another week has passed and I have a number of things to tell you all! Our club meeting was yesterday and hopefully that cleared up some questions you might have had. In case you missed the meeting, we have a couple of fundraisers planned in the coming weeks. This Thursday, November 17, there will be a 50/50 raffle in Daniels mailroom from 9-4. The cost is $.50/try or 3/$ 1.00. The way it works is that the winner gets one half of all the money received, and the club gets the other half, so stop by and try you luck! We are also planning a bake sale for Monday November21 in Daniels mail room from 9-4. All items will be HOMEMADE (nothing disgusting like generic cookies or spam) and can be purchased for POCKET CHANGE!!! Stop by and sample some of the finest baked goodies and give yourselves a break from DAKA desserts! For those of you who missed the speaker from the CDC, they have lots of information on life after WPI in many different areas of study, so take advantage of this resource (3rd floor Boynton Hall). If you are interested in volunteering at an area hospital or clinic but don’t know how to get started, or just have a question about something cl ub related, send questions to medvetnews@wpi! I think that is quite enough for now...Have a great week!-guppy

Christian Bible Fellowship Hi again! If you have been following any CBF gatherings, you may have noticed a pattern. Prayer and Share is at 7pm in Morgan A on Wednesdays and FNF is at 7pm in Morgan A on Friday nights! For anyone interested in taking a look at the Gospel of John with a few others, there is a study on Tuesday nights at 8:30pm in SL 011. This is a great study if you want to ask questions about the Bible in an open atmosphere. And speaking of Bible studies, I pray that God will continue to bless the time that you have as you look into His word. Speaking of prayer, for anyone who feels that this campus needs prayer and you would like to get involved, there is a prayer walk that takes place every weekday at 7:15am starting from the quad. “I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.” (Philemon 6 NIV) It is often difficult to share the faith that we have in Christ with others. However, if we keep our eyes set on the Lord, He will shine through us. The first step we need to take is being open about what Jesus has done in our lives. With the sharing of our faith we can better understand “every good thing we have in Christ.” Are you willing to share with others what Jesus has done in your life? What do you need to surrender to Jesus in order for Him to be revealed more com pletely in your life?

Hillel Hi all, Once again, I have decided to grace the news paper with a club comer of our very own. This was due, in large part, to Zack “I-STILL- don’tknow-what-I-want-to-be-when-I-grow-up boy” Sacks for his wonderfully praising e-mail. Thanks. Not much went on this week. We had the Rabbi come and visit us again last Tuesday night, though unpublicized as it was. Hey, Karl “The UPS Man” Dicker, give us a little warning next time. On Friday the 4th, a few of us decided to check out Clark again. It was kind of interesting. For those of you familiar with Clark, most of their old board no longer participates. There were many new faces, some of them rather good look ing (males and females alike). If there is any interest to return or go for the first time, contact any Hillel officer and w e’ll see to your transpor tation. Until next week, good luck on any exams you might have, and don’t forget to stick your tongue out at a random person you see. As always, your stupendous Senior Advisor, Jonathan “Stupor Man” Geller.

GREEK CORNER

AXP “So, you think you can name all 50 states, huh?” Tougher than it looks, eh Tom? Espe cially when you’ve been through most of them... Where were you when I was trying to sell that prime Florida swampland real estate? Actu ally, you may have botched the states, but that was nothing compared to your display at the bowling lanes. Rarely does one man’s two game total equal everybody else’s average! Two words: quit the team! Speaking of disaster, I must focus now on the romantic attempts made last week. Unfor tunately, the men in question are postulants, not brothers. Congratulations first go out to Derek, who really sweet-talked his way into the heart of one girl. Keep trying, Frenchy, until you DON’T get slapped! Similarly, our sympathy must go out to Jay, who proposed to a woman, and then got rejected; don’t worry, bro, there are other fish in the sea... On to the rest of the postulants: what exactly were you trying to prove last week? NEVER try to outsmart the brothers, ‘cause it just won’t work! Thanks to the multitude of brothers, other fraternity members, and WPI civilians who attended our big Risk Management seminar last night. Overall, it was a very good presen tation, considering that Rosie only had to draw her gun once the entire time... Unfortunately, it was on Stewart, who not-so-wisely shouted out “What?” when she asked for the Steward’s report. Nice job, John, and nice job finishing that wall on the second floor, too. Glad to see that house pride shining through! Enough with the slams...I’m outta here (in 98 short days, that is...)

A rA CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME PLEDGES!! More specifically: Danielle Albano, Jill Johnson, Sarah Arsenault, Erika Lexth, Jill Baryza, Kerry M allon, Renee * C h arp en tier, L eslie M a u rie llo , Jan n in e Copponi, Helen Murray, Julie Davis, Anne Pareti, Brenda Dunn, M ichelle Prudente, Francesca Escoto, Nil Saltuk, Stephanie Gagne, Jessica Sands, Beth Gentry, Jennifer Sapochetti, Stacy Gold, Valerie Schmitt, Rebecca Hoffman, Kathy Sheehan, Stacy Hubbard, Amy Sinyei, Jessica Jamro, Sarah TTiompson, Wendy Jobling and Cara Valliere.

A big Welcome Back to: Laurie, Jen D., Kristin, Gilda, Toni, Karen G., and Annabella! W ear you letters with pride now ladies! The Hayride was fantastic - good job Erica/ Ange for organizing that! Do the pledges know ALL our songs now? Also thanks to Kari for the great Tupperware party! When’s the linge rie party?? Thanks to everyone who helped clean up for the CRUSH PARTY, which is THIS SATURDAY. Happy Birthday to Erin on the 21st! And I think Heather could use an enormous HUG!! Our first college bowl game is tonight-good luck! And to the brothers at OX-we’ll see ya tomorrow morning!!...A DOVELING

ATQ If three brothers drink seventy two cans of beverages in one day, what will they their condition be by twelve o ’clock at night. A.) You would be kicking a soccer ball 300 feet with the intention of hitting a sign four streets away. B.) You would be wearing a cardboard box on your head for an hour. C.) You would be flipping over the first floor railing, head first, and wake up the next day not knowing why your lower back felt like someone put a knife through it. or D.) All of the above. That’s right boys and girls, if you chose D, you are correct. Donnie discovered E-mail at Strattus. Where is Jimmy Scheflen? Outside, showing the girls what a yellow rainbow looks like. Sergeant Bugeye is taking care of business. Techno party dudes. Jamie has increased his bowling average. Peavey has discovered new techniques in win ning at Beirut. Dial 911, Manolakos is on the prowl. (!@#$ Pete)

AXA It’s Tuesday and you all know what that means tomorrow is Wednesday. We now offi cially have AM ’s. Quick reminder that the Tuesday night porching club has started meet ing again (dress code optional!). And now the results you’ve all been waiting for: the Results of Last Annual Lambda Chi Alpha Invitational Spelling Bee. Joseph “Webster” Ackerman lost the title in the first round after spelling Joe “J-o-a”. Kongrachewlayshuns to all who par ticipated.

OK0 Bennett, nice ear, freak. Finally the long tedious wait is over, the shingles are here! And again, Marsh has found us at a loss for words over his latest find last Tuesday. Why? So Erica, ya ever been taped? For anyone inter ested, Miraglia is offering a four hour seminar tonight on how to improve your public speak ing skills. It seems a lot of people actually wanted to work front door a couple of weeks ago at the party. Either that or that blonde girl they were all talking to for two hours was really friendly. Beats me. Watch out girls, Dick Duckey is back in action again. What did these three things have in common last Tuesday: Szczurko’s clothes, Bill’s couch, and Mike & M arios’s floor? They were all dry when Szczurko went to bed, and they were all wet when he got up. KTFB Milkman

A whole week of sleeping on the couch, I guess that means to action for Bad Back Boy. A team basketball versus ATO tonight. See Emilio to go to the Ice Cats game on December 5. Wrap it, I’m outta here to go chill with the Sugar Hill Gang and spin a little Rapper’s Delight Why eat cheese, it causes ignorance, arro gance and a shrinking penis. Just eat Spam......... later

0X BWGWNB...Let me begin by saying thank you Woody, and stuff like that never happens in my kitchen. This article, by the way is double ended. Now lets all give a nice big welcome to this years pledges (in order that I type them in): Sumit Bhalla; Eric Cernak; Mike Couchon; Jason Garrant; Harris C. Howland Jr.; Stu Hudson; Mic Kearns; Jeff Kellner; Trent Lewis; Manny Litos; Bill Lucas; Andy Morrison; Phil Mousseau; Mike Narkevicius; John Prusack; Mike Rupp; Will Salter; Lance Sawyer; Enzo Scallora; and Jeff Spinney.

Getting the job is the easy part. I heard Stratus will hire anyone. Jake, you probably didn’t get the job because when the interviewer asked you, “So Eric, how do you like Marlboro?” you weren’t supposed to say, “ Marlboro, well I smoke those constantly!” (exit Neil leaving our hero stranded again). Only four days left till the second annual barnyard bash, promis ing to be the biggest social event revolving around a bam in the greater Worcester area this weekend, ^retraction from last week’s article: Myles should be spelt with a ‘y ’*.

Best quotes of B-term: “ Man, there must be one helluva snow ball fight in hell, right now.” “Man, don’t rub my arm and ask me for a butt.” “So, what’s for dinner?” Things you’ll never hear at zete, vol. 1: “Jimmy, that was a really thought provoking idea.” “So Ted, how do you like jogging every day?” “You know, Matt, I have never met a nicer guy than you.” “ What do you say we turn off Beavis and Butthead, turn on the radio and listen to classical music for the next half hour?” T hat’s all for this week, let’s all pray to the hockey gods ‘til next week...Signing Off-Jabba
