He also jo k e d a b o u t the im p o r­ tan ce o f a v oiding talking about park in g on C a m ­ pus, unless it is ex trem ely necessary.

A nother question had to do w ith his view on the fraternity system . He said that although he had jo in e d a fraternity, his contacts w ith fraternities had been various and under different conditions.

T herefore, he could not go into details in that question because not m any details had been g iven to him about the fraternity system at W PI, aside from the fact that W PI had a strong G reek system .

R egarding federal and institution cutbacks he expressed the feeling that the an sw er w as not cutbacks but “ increasing revenues and low ering co sts.”

He a lso con sid ers h im s e lf a g o lf fanatic, enjoys au diovisual m ovies, collects w ine “a n d I drink som e o f it too” he a d d s with a b ig sm ile.

His p hilosophy o f life is not to take h im se lf so seriously, to be alw ays “involved and e n th u sia s­ tic” and overall he likes to “ enjoy life.”

P residential candidate Jay Stein seem s to be a strong can d id ate for the position. D uring the next couple o f w eeks w e w ill have the o p p o rtu ­ nity to m eet the other tw o candidates.

Sitting in a c o m e r o f his lu x u rio u s office w e started talking, and alm ost im m ediately y ou c an feel the en erg y em an atin g from him .

Since he graduated in 1945, he has kep t in to u ch w ith all the h appenings in W PI. He becam e a m em ber o f the board o f trustees in 1970 and served in that role for a little o v e r 12 years. He also had the ex p erien c e o f bein g the President o f the U niversity o f S outh F lo rid a (U S F ) from 1978 to 1988. U S F has a student body o f 3 4 ,000 students.

The selection co m m ittee also interview ed 7 o th e r c andidates for the jo b and d ecided to ask Jo h n B row n to fill in the p osition o f In terim President. “ I w as very ex ited ab o u t the p o ssib il­ ity and 1 said I w ould take it and here I a m .” A t the m om ent o f the call he had a lready ste p p ed do w n as President o f U S F and w as actin g as Interim D irecto r o f the C en ter fo r M ic ro elec ­ tronics R esearch at USF.

‘T h e fact that on the S pring o f 1995, 50 y ears a fte r I graduated from W PI, I’ll be p resid in g o v e r the g raduation ex ercises is very excitin g to m e.” He also assu red th at one w as o f the m ain reasons w hy he took office. “ I ju s t w ish that som e o f the professors that w ere here w h e n I w ent to school, w ho probably had severe d o u b ts a s to w hether o r not I w ould be able to be a success in anything, w ere around to see that I’ve c o m e back in this role. T hat w o u ld be a lot o f fu n ,” he adds w ith a sm ile.

C om m en tin g on how W PI has ch an g ed since he graduated he m entions “the w a r tim e e ffe c t o n the nature o f being a student at W PI is a very large e ffect.”

T he Jap an ese invaded P earl H arbor on D ecem ber o f 1941 a n d he en ro lled in W P I in the fall o f 1942. “T h e c o u n try w as at w ar.

T h e future w as uncertain fo r m ost young p e o p le ,” h e says, “d ifferen t tim es, d ifferen t ty p es o f w e a p ­ on ry , different kinds o f political relatio n s exist n o w .” A lthough he ex p lain s that it w as a to ta lly d ifferent experience, he d o es recall o th er thin g s. “ M ost o f the buildings d id not exist. D aniels and M organ d id not exist. T h e L ibrary did not exist e ith e r” W hen asked about the social life he b rin g s about the w ar-tim e issue, but say s “ As a fresh ­ m an at W PI. I w as in a class o f around 2 0 0 people. W e w ere rushed by fraternities. I c h o se to go Phi G a m m a D elta. W PI w as m uch m ore sm aller. T h ere w ere no w om en at W PI.” He finished his first y ear as a civilian th en jo in e d the navy so he c o u ld g et into the navy college program . “ I w as assig n e d to S a n fo rd R iley B arracks w hich w a s an all navy stu d e n t housing, so w e w ere up at 6 :0 0 a n d out in the Q uadrangle doing calisth en ics e v ery m o rning.

T h at continued till I g ra d u ated ,” he says re m i­ niscing. “ L ooking back I have the im p ressio n I g o t an excellent e d u ca tio n .”

O f course, the m eans o f tea ch in g have a lso changed. N ot only did they not h ave w om en at W PI, they also had m ore lab co u rse s and c la sses o n Saturdays. “ T hings are d iffere n t now. O ne d o e s not sit at the draw ing tab le , one learn s co m p u ter aided design and how to do th in g s w ithout hav in g to hold a pen a n d not hav in g to fill a pen w ith Indian ink and be careful not to spill it all o v e r the tab le.” He said. "T h in g s are easie r and better now .” “ In my days lab rep o rts had lo be d o n e in Indian Ink. If you subm itted a report w ith anything o th er than Indian Ink, and it w as e a sie r to fill a fountain pen w ith black ink and g rap h w ith it than to use Indian Ink, there w ere p ro fe s­ sors that if they thought you had not used Indian Ink, they w ould put a fin g er on th e ir m outh and get il nicely w et and rub it all o v e r y o u r d ra w in g

-Indian Ink is not w ater so lu b le as re g u la r ink isand if it w as not Indian Ink it w ould sm eared all over the place and you had to go hom e and redo the w hole draw in g .”

L ooking back he ad v ises students to w ork hard on th e ir first tw o years. “T he h ard er you w ork as a student, as a freshm an and as a sophom ore the easier it is. Y o u go fu rth er to get the m ost o f your studies w ith relatively less expenditure o f energy.”

Interim President John B row n says that he has en jo y ed the experience o f w orking as W P I's President. “ I’ve enjoyed the whole experience It is hard to say w hat 1enjoy th e most. I’ve gotten involved w ith a lot o f g o o d people w ho are w orking hard to m ake th in g s happen.” “ B eing the President o f a U niversity is an interesting kind o f assignm ent. It is not a sim ple cold cut assignm ent. Y ou have a personal re ­ sponsibility for all activities going o n .” He also m ention that it is a jo b that tak es a lot o f tim e and d edication and som etim es y o u have to deal w ith unique problem s. “ D ow n in Florida, on one occasion, the pum ping sy stem that pum ps se w ­ age from the dorm itory b ro k e dow n betw een m idnight and four a.m . I probably got a dozen phone calls from the parents, m ainly o f fem ale students, expressing their co n cern s that th eir dau g h ter had no w ay o f relieving th em se lv es in the m iddle o f the night and w hat w as I g o in g to do about it.” “ W hat I d id w as to set up a bus service to carry anyone w h o had to go to the bathroom to an o th er place w here it w as possible to do that. T h at is the sort o f th in g that a president m ay h ave to do that is so m eth in g you d o n ’t im m ediately think o f w hat a president is doing as o p p o sed to d irecting the activ ities o f the un iv ersity .” H e m entions that in W PI he d id n ’t have the c h an ce to deal w ith a n y th in g as radical as that, b u t he assures that the Institute has kept h im busy.

W hen a sk ed for his p lan s for the future he pauses an d sm iles, “ let m e put it th is w ay... In 1988 I ste p p ed dow n as P resident a n d 1 w as invited to take up appo in tm en ts in sev eral d iffer­ ent places. I chose to accept a half tim e a p p o in t­ m ent in the college o f m edicine and a h a lf tim e appointm ent with the c o lle g e o f engin eerin g , from 1988 to 1992 w hen I retired. In retirin g I gave up m y 10 years appo in tm en t a n d 1 told them I w ould be happy to w o rk with th em if they needed m e to do som ething and they cam e up with the d irec to r o f the M icroelectronics R e­ search C enter. “ M y w ife felt that in 1992 when I retired w e w ould go in cruises and visit ou r c hildren in C alifornia, C olorado and W estern M ichigan and m aybe w e w ould do a w a lk in g tour o f the B ritish isle, and instead o f that, I’ve continued to w ork.

She has the opinion that I d o n ’t understand w hat retirem ent is about and she w ould like to help me reshape m y understanding o f that an d 1 think she has plans for m e.” He a lso m entioned that people at U S F w ere also v e ry interested in his com eback, how ever, the first priority is “ m a in ­ taining a happy relationship with m y w ife.”

C lo sin g up the in terv iew , he said that the biggest rew ard “ is getting to work w ith people w ho are really dedicated to m aking som ething happen.” In the last couple o f w eeks P resident B row n has m et with a lot o f stu d en ts from several different organ izatio n s on c am p u s to give them an opportunity to ask questio n s about W P I’s future and let th eir concerns be know n to him.

H is best advice to the students is to take advantage o f all the o p p o rtu n ities that W PI offers. “O p portunities p re sen t them selves to you along the w ay, and a big collection o f o p p o rtu ­ nities is thrust at you as a college student. G rab them to the extent that you w ant to, be interested in them and enjoy them . Y o u ’ll never regret it.”

A nd w h o know s, m aybe one d ay we w ill com e back as President, too.

Till next week...

ASME Well after about a year o f entertaining weekly A SM E colum ns, this will be m y last (1 think). O n to that later. T hanks to everyone w ho com peted in the Papers contest last week and congrats to the winners. G ood luck with the regionals. T he contest w ent well and I got to eat a lot o f cheese and dip for free, alw ays a pleasure. W ell, we elected new officers last week at ou r second annual “ show up and get elected m eeting," i.e. everyone ran unopposed. The new officers are Jo h n A lbert-President, Josh B inder-V P, C ynthia Mitchel 1-Treasurer, and Jon Stew art-Secretary.

E veryone seem ed to enjoy the free pizza and all the different colored bug juice things we got. Last year we becam e officers and never really got anything explained to us, so I think this year we m ay actually have som e type o f orientation and advice (m ake fun o f C ivils, you alw ays get laughs out o f students and professors). W ill the elusive Sam uel A dam s plant tour ever happen? Will the new officers reclaim H iggins as the doughnut capital o f the school? W ill the Civil Joke o f the W eek be resurrected? W ill President Albert be a 2-time president? W ill the T reasurer ev er write a check this year? W ho will replace form er Pres.

D an ’s now infam ous laugh? Will there be an A SM E social that w om en show up to? W ho knows, new officers it is up to you to find answ ers to these q u e stio n s a n d raise som e o f y o u r ow n ..have fun and m ake sure you put it on your resum e... M ark

Bacchus Well, now that things have settled dow n a little since the beginning o f the term , Bacchus has begun to m ake p la n s! F or starters, we have begun to panic, I m ean plan for Q uadfest - this is our m ajor event this term , so if you’re reading this and d o n ’t know what I’m talking about - C O M E T O A M E E TIN G A N D G E T IN V O LV ED ! Bacchus is also looking into the possibility o f show ing a 3D movie this year at freshm en orientation. T his should be a great program , follow ing last y e ar’s successful “around the cam pus party” . The only hitch is that we need to set this stuff up now, so it is done before we leave for sum m er break. Last on the list o f “cool stuff for D -term ” is the rapidly developing club function: w e’ve got it narrow ed dow n to a trip to an am usem ent park som ew here on the eastern seaboard, som etim e around the end o f April. M aybe. I think we should go watch drag racing, but I have a funny feeling that nobody else does. So, that’s it for current events in B acchus this week. A continuation o f last w eek’s feature is the exiting clim ax o f the postcard story: I will receive m y postcard from John’s skiing extrava­ ganza in T azm ania, o r w herever he was over break! - he ju st has to find it. -subject change- In case anybody still do esn ’t know, m eetings are every T uesday at 6:00 in room HL130. Susan, I prom ise to figure out w hich function goes w ith w hat organization: SA C , O C FC , SA E, O SH A ...

Finally, in an effort to add an am using tw ist to the Bacchus C lub C om er, I’m introducing the weekly (or w henever I get around to it) B acchus T rivia Q uestion! Just answ er this question before next w eek’s article: “ H ow m any cases o f peach do we have?” (A ssistant treasureror related fam ily m em ­ bers are not eligible for aw ards) T hink hard now , gotta go!

Christian Bible Fellowship The N avigators conference in A lbany was aw esom e this past w eekend! If you w eren’t able to make it, I w ould like to encourage you talk with som eone who did. 1 think that it will be encour­ aging for both o f you. T his week is going to be really exciting a s we see the Lord continue to answer prayer. W ed night at 8pm in M organ A we will be gathering to share w ith each o ther what the Lord has been doing and also to pray for each other. B ring a friend on Friday to F N F at 7pm in M organ A and /o r bring a friend to Sports on Sat at 10:30am.

“M ay the G od o f hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in H im ..” (R om ans 15:13 NIV) This verse has really encouraged m e to step out and trust the L ord m ore com pletely. I have to continually rem em ber w here my H ope is and that God will fill me with jo y and peace. N othing else in this w orld can give m e greater jo y o r peace than the O ne w ho created them . W here is our hope?

Shouldn’t we trust in the Lord? He is ready to em brace us w ith His jo y and peace if we are willing to allow Him to com e into ou r lives.

Hillel H ello Friends, G reetings from a very exhausted and on-duty senior advisor. I hope everyone is doing well as yet another year com es steadily to a close. F or all o f you freshm en, you w o n ’t be any m ore pretty soon and all of you juniors, except for SuperCarley, who will be going to Vet school, you will soon be seniors. Those o f you w ho are going to be seniors, you have so m uch to look forward to.

W ell, in club new s, the Rabbi has been com ing every M onday afternoon from 4:30 to 5:30p to talk about w hatever anyone wants. F or the next few w eeks, he is going to talk about Pesach for obvious reasons. He will also be com ing this Friday fo r a Shabbos experience if anyone would care to jo in him. As for Pesach, if you haven’t gotten in touch with “L iverlips” Brian do so quickly. The V inster and I are going to the R otm an’s and w e ’re going to try to get him to say “ Faaaaaantastic.”

T h at’s all for now. Stay cool as the tem pera­ tures begin to rise, and ju st plain relax w henever possible (preferably all the time). M aybe I’ll write another one of these things soon. As alw ays, your senior advisor, Jonathan ’95

More than 50003rd through 10th grade students and parents descended on campus this past Saturday as WPI hosted the annual Odyssey of the Mind State Competition. Since last fall, student teams from all over the world have been working to develop solutions to the same five problems (each team selects a single problem as its challenge). The winners of Saturday's competition in each division (elementary, middle, and high school) will go to the world finals in Knoxville, Tennessee in May.
