West Street closing being sought by Brian Parker Editor In C h ief A fter months o f careful study, WPI is ready to consider subm itting a pro posal to the W orcester C ity Council, w hich calls for the closing o f the sec tion o f W est Street which runs through the cam pus. Specifically, the street w ould be closed from abov;e the Quad parking area to ju st past Salisbury Labs. T his would clearly m ake the cam pus safer for pedestrians, for although there has been no major accident on the street, many consider this to be due to luck or ju st a quick student body. It also would do a lot towards attracting students, faculty and staff to WPI, as current plans look for a tree-lined area, sim ilar to Freem an Plaza. T here has been a lot o f concern w ith the neighborhood’s acceptance o f this idea. B ut there is hope that c lo sin g the street will not o verly in c o n v e n ie n c e p e o p le . C u rre n tly , about h a lf o f the cars w hich travel on W est are W PI-bound. It is those o th ers w ho w ould have to change th e ir d riv in g patterns. W hile the traffic engineers hired
to study the area and d eterm in e the p o ssible effects o f the c lo su re feel that it w ould actu ally red u c e through traffic on m any o f the surrounding streets, a few m ight see an increase. T h ese in clu d e the m a jo r through streets. Park and S alisbury as well as L ancaster, w hich are m eant to handle th e tra ffic , as w ell as D ean and B oynton. O ne current th o u g h t is that W PI “w o uld be w illin g to con sid er im p ro v em en ts to th e street [B oynton], in cluding an ex tra lane to enter S alisbury S treet from Boynton S tre et.” S alisbury and Park w ould see a sm all increase in traffic (2 -3 % ), but this w as incorporated into the study. A re-tim ing o f th e lights at the inter section o f the tw o roads w ould more than im prove the tim e sp en t w aiting in traffic, w hich w ould reduce w ait ing tim es from 33-50% . Em ergency vehicle a ccess is a con cern, b ut the area w ould be designed to allow access and W PI has been told th at “ W est S treet, b ecau se o f its config u ratio n , is not a stre e t used by the Fire D epartm ent for access to any address in th e area.”
C urrently, W PI is circu latin g a petitio n w hich su pports the closure and it is ex pected that there w ill be six to seven h undred sig n atu res w hen W PI is ready to subm it the proposal. A s o f last F riday, aro u n d four-hund red -an d -fifty sig n atu res had been solicited . The proposal is sch ed u led to be s u b m itte d so m e tim e d u rin g th is spring, but W PI w ould like to be sure that this is som eth in g w hich is not only good for the co lle g e , but also fo r the n eighborhood, before going to City C ouncil. As both C lark U ni versity and W orcester A cadem y have closed streets w hich ran through their cam p u ses in the last tw enty years, W PI has also looked to th eir cases as w ell. T here w ere short term concerns w ith changes in d riv in g patterns, but in the long-run, they both ap p ear to h av e b en efited the resp ectiv e in sti tu tio n s. It is hoped that th is w ill be the case with W est S treet as w ell.

Organizational Changes and Related Issues Date: April 17, 1995 To: WPI Community From: Diran Apelian, Provost Earlier this year, President Brown asked each of the officers o f the College to review their respective operations in an effort to reduce administrative overhead. In order for us to attain financial stability and to invest in our future growth, we need to reduce our cost structure by lowering administrative overhead, eliminating duplication, increasing efficiency and, o f course, increas ing revenues. The educational mission o f the College should be our highest priority. Over the last four years, some reduction in the number of faculty has take place (from 207 to 188, approximately 9%); at the same time, our enrollments have kept up and, in fact, we have gained market share during an adverse demographic period. Faculty productivity, measured by any index - courses taught, projects supervised, research expenditures, etc. - has shown a marked increase. In brief, our Faculty have responded valiantly to the revenue squeeze by increasing workload and by demonstrating educational leadership through developing new programs and ensuring that the WPI student’s learning experi ence is innovative, challenging and exciting. Our faculty’s dedication to W PI’s educational mission is one of our most precious assets. President Brown and I agree that any further reduction of our operational expenditures must be derived principally from our support functions (administrative functions) in both academic and non-academic sectors of the College. Such reductions must contribute to lowering bureaucracy, but must also ensure that the “core business” which has retained our market share in difficult times over the last decade is preserved and nurtured. It is the case that in academic affairs significant reduction in our cost structure by eliminating administrative personnel cannot be achieved at once because academic department heads, the Deans and the Provost are tenured members of our Faculty. However, by shifting positions from administration to faculty wherever it is possible and by examining the value added o f our processes, we may be able to increase efficiency and reduce redundant work. The purpose of this memorandum is to inform the WPI Comm unity o f the organizational changes which are being made. 1. The positions of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies and the Dean for Graduate Studies and Research will be consolidated into one position, entitled Dean o f Academic Affairs and will report to the Provost. The intent is to bring increased synergy between Undergraduate and Graduate education. William Durgin will be appointed Dean of Academic Affairs beginning the Academic Year 1995-96. Francis Lutz, who is tenured in our Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, will be on a leave for the academic year 1995-96 to pursue professional interests. 2. Undergraduate and graduate scheduling and registration for all academic activities (including Summer School and projects) during the entire academic year will be combined into one office. The Office o f Project and Enrollment Sen ices, to be headed by Kari Blinn, who will report to the Dean o f Academic Affairs. 3. The Projects Office functions will be redistributed with all current services

Beyond the Farm
F o r the week preceding this Saturday, April 22nd, 1995, here’s a review o f what happened Beyond the Farm: A car bomb which may have contained two tons o f munitions exploded outside the Federal Building in Oklahom a City on the morning of Apr 19th, destroying one-third o f the building. At least 87 people were killed, including 17 children in a day care center, and 400 injured, with about 150 still missing and rescue opera tions continuing as o f Apr 22nd. On A pr 20th, Attorney General Janet Reno offered $2 million for information leading to the arrest of tw o white men suspected in the bombing. One o f those men, identified as Tim othy McVeigh, 27, was arrested by police one h o urafterthe bombing for having unregistered weapons in his car when he was pulled over for speeding and not having license plates. Authorities in Perry, OK later realized McVeigh matched one o f the descrip tions and turned him over to the FBI Apr 21st. A lso on Apr 21st, Terry Nichols turned him self in to authorities in Kansas City, MO, and his brother James Nichols was arrested; both are being held as witnesses and had prior associa tion with M cVeigh. M cVeigh was reported to h a v e d e s c rib e d h im s e lf as “ a m ad bom ber...opposed to everything about the Fed eral governm ent” in his America On-Line pro file. The other suspect in the largest terrorist incident in United States history has yet to be found or identified. In Japan, two additional incidents of gas releases have resulted in hospitalization. In Y okohama Apr 19th, the release o f an unknown gas at a subway station led to 400 needing medical attention, and on Apr 21 st, an additional incident in Yokohama injured 25. Neither in volved sarin, used in the attack earlierthis month, though the Aum Shinro Kyo cult is suspected in these latest incidents.
T hey’re Talking About It... H ealth and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala claimed on a CNN talk show Apr 15th that “ the nation’s best and brightest did not go to V ietnam .” A fter Shalala failed to clarify the statem ent, she was soundly criticized by conser vatives as a m em ber o f the “Liberal Elite.”
In shorts... Senate majority leader Robert Dole (R-KS) announced his opposition to the nomination of H e n ry F o s te r as S u rg e o n G e n e ra l A p r 16th...Israeli forces killed three Hamas mem bers allegedly on a bombing mission near Hebron, W est Bank Apr 16th...the Coast Guard stopped a vessel with 116 Haitians hidden on-board off F lorida A pr 16th...Russian defense m inister Pavel Grachev announced A pr 16th that his nation would not meet Conventional Forces T reaty reduction goals...protests broke out over food prices in Bangladesh Apr 16th...Philippine foreign minister Roberto Romulo announced his resignation Apr 17th over the case of the Filipino housemaid executed in Singapore...the conference to decide the fate o f the Nuclear

France set an ultimatum for assur ances from the UN for its forces to be supported in Bosnia Apr 19th or it would withdraw them; three French soldiers were killed near Sarajevo Apr 22nd...Judge Lance Ito interviewed jurors in the OJ Sim pson case Apr 20th; one de m anded being excused, and the next day 13 jurors mutinied by demanding to see Ito before returning to the jury box because three guards had been replaced...clashes have broken out between the Tamil Tigers and government forces in Sri Lanka, including attacks on fishing boats Apr 20th...a Greek navy comm ander was killed by a bomb A pr 20th in Athens...a pipe bomb caused no injuries at Canada’s Prince Edward Island parliam ent Apr 20th...62 people were apparently killed by a militia in Liberia Apr 20th...two A m ericans were convicted o f spying in Iran Apr 20th...Israeli and the PLO reached a final agreem ent for transfer o f pow er to the Palestinian A uthority Apr 21st... the Lord’s Resistance A rm y killed 82 in northern Uganda Apr 22nd...the 25th anniversary o f Earth Day passed Apr 22nd.
Finally... Someone took the concept o f a “fire-sale” on cellular phones in Batavia, NY a little too seriously. A store had only a limited number o f phones for sale at the reduced price, and a man who arrived at the beginning o f the sale was told he would not receive one. He proceeded to pull out a grenade and demand a phone. Fearing a terrorist incident, the store sold him a phone but called police, who arrived in time to arrest the man. He then dem anded to call his lawyer on his new phone. And that’s what happened Beyond the Farm.

Christopher Boffoli Renaissance Man by Beatrice Grygo Newspeak Staff This y ear’s T radition’s Day was the first big event at WPI for Christopher Boffoli, the new Associate Director o f A lum ni Programs and the Alumni Fund. It was his first m ajor interac tion with student groups here as well. Although he was the one responsible fo r this event, he m odestly gives credit to the students when asked how everything went. “ W orking with the [Student Alumni] Society is interesting, because it is the most responsible students’ group I have ever worked with. I have never seen a group o f people, betw een age 18 and 20, so mature. I am amazed every tim e I work with them. Every tim e I work with them , every time they com e in, they are responsible and smart. They know exactly what they want to do and they get it done. I am alw ays im pressed with the Student A lum ni Society. They are all leaders. T hey managed their jo b well.” A native o f W orcester, C hristopher Boffoli graduated in 1992, with a bachelors degree in English, from the College o f Charleston in South C arolina. After his graduation he held the position o f Director o f Finance in the South C arolina senate, where he raised money for senate candidates. He was also a fund-raiser for M edical University in South C arolina where “ I was able to design creative things” he says. Sitting in his cozy office in H iggins House and talking, you can see for y o u rself how im agina tive and adventurous Chris Boffoli is. He wears his suit with the bow-tie that in an excellent way links his artistic personality to the historical beauty o f the H iggins House. A gorgeous view from his o ffice w indow com plem ents the friendly and relaxed atm osphere. It is hard not to notice the enthusiastic attitude toward w hat ever he does. “I enjoy what I do, and my favorite part is the creative part. I tend to be a very creative person,” he says. Before C hristopher Boffoli becam e A ssoci ate Director o f Alumni Program s and the Alumni Fund, he was offered a jo b on Capitol Hill in W ashington, D.C. and at the National G eo graphic Society. He chose W PI instead. “ 1 w anted to stay and work with colleges and a college environm ent and I decided not to work at C apitol Hill in the C ongress.” He puts his whole heart into all activities he performs. It is a part o f his job to raise funds for W PI. The Alumni Fund generates over $2 million dollars a year. The money that he raises goes to scholarships and financial aid, and helps to run the school. Probably very few of us know that WPI could not exist w ithout its help. In his job, he deals mostly w ith young alumni. Raising m oney is not as easy as it seems. Boffoli possesses marketing skills, and he finds ways to appeal even to the most reluctant alumni w ithout pressing anyone to donate the money. T h at’s where his ability as a creative thinker com es to play. He does not have any special guide that he has to follow in order to raise money. U sing his own ideas works best for him, and he appreciates and enjoys such inde pendence in his work. “I feel lucky that I am in the place where they (the school) gave me a little bit o f room to try things like this” he points out, and such freedom means a lot to him. He knows what he is good at. “Everybody is bom with a genius but some o f us only keep it for a few minutes. Everybody is bom with som e thing. It is a matter of finding what you are great at.”
And yet he still wants to leam as much as he can. G oing back to school and maybe getting a m asters degree in literature is one of the possi bilities to explore his life to the fullest extent. B esides his work, he enjoys lots o f activities. He did photography while he was in high school, he likes to sail, to travel, to cook, and to ride horseback. “A lot o f my friends call me the R enaissance M an, because I like to do a lot o f different things,” he says, and “I am alw ays open to new suggestions, and there is a lot o f potential to leam here (from the Student Alumni Society)” he adds. Any plans for new projects? “The reunion is com ing up in June. The classes attending this year will be 1935, 1940, 1945, 1950, 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985. Each class will have a hospitality suite where they can go to social ize with their classmates. The classes will also each attend class dinners, an awards luncheon, a parade, a Trivial Pursuit breakfast, and tours o f the Academ ic Departm ents.” Besides talks and lectures there will be “the Alumni G o lf tournam ent at Stow Acres in Stow (w hich is ow ned by WPI alum nus), a shopping trip to the W orcester Com m ons Fashion Outlets, a nature walk at Broad Meadown W ildlife Sanctuary, and a historical tour o f W orcester.” T here is som ething special about this year’s reunion- a program for children. The organizers invited the three youngest classes (1975, 1980, and 1985) to bring their children to reunion. B e sides various events on the campus such as tiedying shirts on the back o f the lawn o f H iggins house, w atching movies, and eating pizza, ch il dren will also tour the New England Science C enter where they will w atch the feeding of the popular bears and see a star show in the plan etarium . Hopefully it will be as successful as Traditions Day. “ WPI reunions tend to be very popular, due to the high level o f creativity, organization, and experience o f their coordinator Sharon Davis, the Director o f Alumni Program s,” Chris Boffoli says, again not taking credit himself. “ I’m sure this year’s reunion (which is my first at W PI) will be just as well-attended and fun as those in the past. Reunions are im portant because they keep out alumni close to WPI and close to each other.” We wish Chris Boffoli the realization o f all his plans and satisfaction w ith his new position.

Weekly sports update results from April 14 through April 20 by Geoff Hassard Sports Information Director Softball (7-15) The softball team is beginning to settle into a groove as they prepare for the New England W om en’s Eight Conference Tournament this week. At press time they are 4-4 in conference play with Smith and M IT waiting. The Engi neers have gotten som e solid pitching perfor mances as o f late which is encouraging to Coach Quinn. April 14, WPI w as m atched against first place W heaton who w as undefeated in confer ence play. In the first game, W PI had the lead early but couldn’t protect it as Wheaton won 74. Sophomores Stephanie T orrey and Lynn K eam an led the way w ith each collecting three hits. Keam an also knocked in tw o runs while Torrey drove in one. In the second game, W heaton jum ped out to an early lead and held o ff a late charge by WPI to win 9-7. Seniors A m y M ercier and Renee C usson had solid gam es at the plate. Mercier had three hits, including a double, and a stolen base while Cusson had two hits and an RBI. The next day, WPI hosted Babson College in another doubleheader in the conference. Behind the strong pitching o f senior Jen Anderson, WPI w on 3-2. Senior Jen DeLuca picked up a save in relief of Anderson. Torrey collected two hits and an RBI and junior captain T racy Langis also had two hits and a stolen base to lead WPI. In the second game, the Engineers got an other strong pitching perform ance from fresh man Kerry M allon who pitched a two-hit com plete game shutout, the first o f her college ca reer. She was helped by Keaman who was 2 for 4 with three RBIs as W PI won 7-0.
Last Tuesday, April 18, W PI traveled south to Rhode Island College for a single game. T his gam e it was D eLuca’s turn to shine as she threw a three-hit com plete game shutout as the E ngi neers won 5-0. M ercier had tw o hits in the gam e and Langis drove in tw o runs to help lead W PI. W ednesday, th 19th, the rain subsided long enough for the Engineers to play a single gam e with Anna Maria. The game went into extra innings before WPI ended the game in the b o t tom o f the eighth when Langis stole third and scored on a pass ball for the 3-2 win. Mallon got the win in relief o f Anderson. Keaman and Torrrey each had tw o hits to help WPI win their fourth game in a row.
Baseball (10-10) On April 15, WPI hosted Babson College in a very im portant Constitution Athletic C onfer ence doubleheader. WPI was in first place and Babson was in third, but with a chance to m ove into first if they beat us in both games. The Engineers were hoping to sw eep the Beavers, but at least split to remain in first place. In the first game, the bats were alive as W PI pounded out 13 hits and scored eight runs en route to an 8-5 win. Junior captain Eric Dubois got things started in the second inning when he hit a solo home run to deep left field. The next inning the bats continued to assault Beaver pitching, scoring four more runs as sophomore Tim Doyle drove in a pair of runs and Dubois drove in the other two. In the game, freshmen Alex Bartkin and Pat Noonan had solid garfles. Noonan went 4 for 4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored while Bartkin went 3 for 4 with a double and two RBIs. Freshman Guy Miller picked up the win and sophomore Mike Hager got the save in relief.
Alumni fencers return for exhibition by Brian Gagnon Class o f ’97 The WPI fencing team is m aking a return to prominence. Recent graduates and seasoned fencing veterans, Bruce Heidebrecht (class of ’93), Robert Petit (’93), and Thomas Turner (’93) returned to the WPI cam pus on Saturday, April 8th, for a fencing exhibition with this year’s squad, which finished thirteenth in the New England Conference. Petit placed sixth in a recent Epee tourna ment, while Heidebrecht has made his mark in New England fencing as a dynam ic foilist and epeeist. Turner has been the most successful of the bunch, performing exceptionally well while placing first and second in recent New England
USFA events in Epee. These three individuals sacrificed their time for the betterment o f this year’s team, and put on a wonderful show. Follow ing this perform ance, Turner and present WPI fencer W illiam Mahoney partici pated in a N.Y. individual tournament with Turner finishing fifth in Epee and second in Sabre. M ahoney was almost equally as im pres sive, finishing sixth and fourth in the two events, with narrow losses in the final two rounds o f Sabre. Anyone interested in fencing this year or next should feel free to stop by at any o f the practices behind the bleachers in Harrington Gym be tw een 4:30pm -6:00pm on M onday, Tuesday, or Thursday. New members are welcomed and encouraged to participate.

In the second game, Babson jum ped out to an early lead 2-0 before W PI cam e back to take the lead with four runs in the second, pow ered by a three-run hom e run by ju n io r captain Tom M ichalowski. The Beavers took the lead back 64 heading into the bottom o f the fourth inning when Bartkin hit a rocket to right field that hit Harrington Auditorium . It was a three-run home run which catapulted W PI back into the lead 76. Babson scored three runs in the top h alf of the sixth and held on for the 9-7 win. Last Thursday, the 13th, the Engineers took on cross-town rival C lark in another C A C match up. WPI needed to take both games to keep their chances alive for the conference title. Junior M att W hitten flirted with a perfect game through 5-1/3 innings before w alking a batter. W ith a chance at a no-hitter, the next batter singled to break it up. This would be the only blem ish on the day as he pitched a one-hit shutout as the Engineers won 3-0. In the nightcap, the bats took over as Bartkin paced WPI to a 13-4 win with four hits and four RBIs.
Men’s Tennis (1-5) The men’s tennis team participated in the Con stitution Athletic Conference Championships a week ago Saturday, April 15, at Coast Guard. They ended up finishing in sixth place out o f seven teams. They lost to Babson in the first round 4-0. They defeated Norwich in the consolation semi final 3-1 before losing the consolation final to Western New England 3-1. Coach Young was pleased with the way the team showed in the matches. In the Norwich match, singles winners were sophomores John Allan and John Park. Winning in doubles was the team o f sophomore Ranjit Kher and freshman Vladislav Zilberman. Allan was the only winner in singles for the match versus Western New England. Last Tuesday, the 18th, the Engineers hosted Holy Cross in a match that had been resched uled. Holy C ross proved to be too strong as they took the match 9-0. M e n ’s Golf (2-2) The golf team hosted Emerson C ollege last Tuesday (April 18) at the friendly confines of Holden Hills Country Club. WPI took the match 357-385 behind strong perform ances by senior Bill Tyrrell and juniors Brian Klauber and Steve Frechette w ho all scored in the 80’s. Tyrrell was the low man with an 86. M e n ’s T ra c k (5-4) The m en’s track team competed against T rin ity College on Saturday, April 15 and cam e up on the short end o f a 95-69 score. Scoring for the
Engineers were: freshman Brian Susol took third in the discus; senior Jim Beardsley was a double winner, taking first in the high jum p and javelin; freshman C hris Neumaier placed second in the javelin; senior Stan Farrell completed the sweep in the javelin by placing third as well as finishing second in the pole vault; sophom ore D an Sadowski took third in the shot put; junior D ana Schlosser won the hammer throw; freshman B rian M cK enna was second in the ham m er throw; senior Jason DeJoannis placed second in the high jum p; freshman David Bowler finished third in the pole vault; junior Bruce M eachem was first in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and second in the 5,000-m eter run; senior Chris Reilly was second in the 3,000 steeplechase; junior Joe D anubio placed second in the 1,500m eter run; sophomore Tim Caldwell finished third in the 1,500; sophomore Doug Martin took second in the 110-meter high hurdles; sopho more Peter M anolakos finished third in the 400m eter run; freshman Kyle Heppenstall placed second in the 100-meter dash and third in the 200-m eter dash; freshman David Hawes won the 400-m eter intermediate hurdles and finished third in the 100; junior Steve Labranche won the 800-meter run; junior Rich Person finished sec ond in the 800; junior Ian Quinn placed third in the 5,000.

Beardsley has quali fied in the high jum p. Schlosser has qualified in the hammer throw and is very close to meeting the standard for the Nationals. O ur mile relay team , consisting o f Manolakos, Person, Hawes and Labranche have also qualified. W o m en ’s T ra c k (6-4) The w om en’s team also com peted at T rinity with Coast G uard to make it a tri-meet. The women were edged out by Coast G uard for second place by a point. Trinity won the meet w ith 86 points with Coast Guard second with 43 and WPI had 42 points.

Change is in the air Continued from page I transferred to other offices and faculty. Chuck Komik will continue administrative support for all projects. Administrative coordination o f un dergraduate projects with external sponsors will be provided, along with the administration of sponsored research, educational, and o ther projects, by the newly named Office o f Sponsored Programs to be headed by Douglas Johnston, also reporting to the Dean o f Academic Affairs. 4. O ur part-time graduate enrollments have decreased significantly over the last five years. This past year we witnessed the benefits of a small investment we have made in marketing our gradu ate programs. In this vein, through resource reallocation, we are expanding the position for marketing our graduate programs and this posi tion will report to the Dean o f Academic Affairs. Continuing Education will also report to the Dean of Academic Affairs. 5. Lance Schachterle will be appointed Assis tant Provost for Special Programs effective July 1, 1995. The Massachusetts Academy, school-college collaborative, the Frontiers/Strive Programs and Academic Advising will report to Professor Schachterle. In addition to these administrative responsibilities. Professor Schachterle will con tinue his teaching and scholarly activities in the Department of Humanities and Arts, and in the interdisciplinary and global programs. 6. Carol Garofoli will be appointed Director of Academic Operations (effective July 1,1995) and will manage budgetary and administrative activi ties of the Academic Affairs Division. She will work closely with academic department heads in the coordination of the above. As Director of Academic Operations, she will report to the Pro vost. 7. The Office o f Multicultural Affairs will continue to report to the Provost. This office oversees initiatives to diversity our campus and assist in our outreach efforts. 8. The administrative relation o f the College Computer Center (CCC) is under review. Aca demic Computing, the Library and information
management functions provide increasingly im portant support for our academic departments. These functions must be well coordinated. The CCC must, o f course, continue to support all of the administrative needs o f the campus. However, many o f theses needs can be decentralized, en abling administrators to access essential data and carry out analyses on their own terminals rather than requiring custom tailored programs for each new request. Empowering o f our workforce requires that essential information (the knowl edge base) be directly accessible to all o f our unit managers. The Provost’s Office will play an increasing role in the coordination of these impor tant support functions in the future. 9. All academic department heads will con tinue to report directly to the Provost. In an effort to decentralize, our department heads will take on additional administrative responsibilities in aca demic affairs particularly related to enrollment, marketing and outreach. We also need to decen tralize at the departmental level. All academic department heads are asked to have in place these standing committees, which already exist in some departments: -Curriculum Committee -Operational Committee -Professional Development and Tenure Com mittee -Research, and (if applicable) Graduate Com mittee Faculty members should be elected to these committees so that it is a representative body. There are benefits of having some uniformity in the infrastructural framework within our aca demic departments and of decentralizing depart mental activities at the “grass-roots” level. In addition, collaboration among committee chairs across departments will be encouraged. Such a model will parallel our Faculty Governance struc ture which serves the faculty as a whole. 10. In an effort to reinforce shared governance, I am proposing that an academic implementations team be formed whose core members will in clude: Registrar, Scheduler, Director o f Academic Operations, the Dean o f Academic Affairs, COG chair, CAP chair, CGSR chair, CAO chair and the Secretary of the Faculty. It is envisioned that this
West Auburn wrap-up for March by Scott Heyworth Grarduate Student Firefighters from West Station responded to 48 incidents in the month of March. The calls break down as follows: 2 structures, 3 autos, 10 brush, 3 chimney fires, 14 alarms, 5 smoke investiga tions, 1 electrical, 2 haz mats, 1 search, 1 explo sion, 1 oven fire, 1 mutual aid, and 4 stand-bys. Training for the month included tower training, hazardous material decontamination, pumps, street layouts, and a fire scenario at the Junior High School. The new dispatch com puter has been provid ing hours o f valuable entertainment. I d o n ’t think the C hief intended for it to be a game system. The real software should be installed some time soon. Also, a thank you goes out to the firefighters involved in dispersing a group of unruly youths congregating by the station after hours.
Our Buddha National Team continues its .500 winning percentage in the twilight basketball league. Only half the team showed up, so 2 replacement players were needed. The team both won and lost games with a scores o f 15 to 12. The strike is over, so all members will be present for the playoffs. At least the intramural curling team remains undefeated. The Department will be hosting an open house at the West Auburn Station on Saturday, April 29th, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. The public will have the opportunity to see the program first-hand. The new tower truck will also be on display. Come on down and meet the students, or at least enjoy some free refreshments. Finally, Pokey made yet another emergency visit to the vet. This fleabag had better start bringing in some money for us if she expects us to continue paying for her health care. On a happy note, she made her first ride-out and assisted during a drafting operation.
group will meet biweekly or twice a term to review relevant operational issues, as a means o f bringing together around one table administrative support functions and faculty governance. This group which brings together the various constitu encies should address operational issues, whereas the Department Heads’ Committee focuses more on strategic issues. 11. It would be beneficial for us to have a closer collaboration among the Departments o f Math ematical Sciences, Computer Science, Biology and Biotechnology, Chemistry and Physics, par ticularly now as we are critically reviewing the first year experience. A workshop is proposed for the Chairs o f the Curriculum Committees and interested faculty of these five departments with student government participation to establish dia logue, strengthen communications and develop a mutual perspective for the first year experience. Funding for this effort will be provided by the Provost’s Office. There is much merit in looking at the first year experience from the perspective o f customer-supplier relationships. 12. A larger presence is envisioned for under graduate B iomedical Engineering on our campus, particularly as interest in Undergraduate Bio medical Engineering is growing. A Task Force headed by Professor Allen Hoffman of Mechani cal Engineering has been established to guide this process. T heir charge is to: Facilitate the establishment o f a Biomedical Engineering Program which will broaden pro grammatic offerings to our undergraduates, strengthen the Pre-Health initiative, and high light the strengths o f ourfaculty in various differ ent departments. They must advise us on the implementation o f a distributed system. The benefits o f an Associated Faculty model are evident when we consider the full range o f bioengineering strengths of our faculty distrib uted among many o f our academic departments. The Associated Faculty model is akin to a matrix management concept wherein we can bring to gether the needed human resources to carry out a variety of tasks or initiatives, as necessary. Such a model works well and reduces the need to establish a new department whenever an interdis ciplinary area of importance emerges. It will definitely be to our advantage to expand our Biomedical Engineering activities by having more faculty involved. 13. The faculty currently associated with the Interdisciplinary and Global Studies Division will be asked to define a specific charge for the con tinuing role of the IGSD, with input from the whole community. The goal will be to define a support mechanism for global and 1D/IOP pro grams that will be effective in enlisting support across campus for those programs. We are fortu nate to have in place a talented and dedicated staff which can continue to serve our Global programs.
Professor Hakim and other faculty members are diligently working to create a framework and procedures which address the following set of questions: -What are the criteria for establishing an inter national project center? -What are the procedures and criteria for se lecting faculty who will be involved at a given project center? -What are the procedures and criteria for se lecting students to attend a given project center? -What are the expectations and responsibilities for both faculty and students involved at an inter national project center? By the end of D Term, Professor Hakim and the Advisory Board working with him will bring to us formal recommendations addressing the above issues. Administration and Faculty Governance will be asked to review these recommendations. An associated faculty model may well be the approach we want to adopt. The concept of a Project Board to have oversight of the IGSD activities also has some merit. It is reasonable to anticipate that we will have in place a well struc tured program with clear procedures and guide line by Fall o f AY 95-96. O nce this is in place, the Director of IGSD will be a half time administra tive position. There are other issues which have arisen during our analysis and strategic planning. Several years ago, the Freshm an class’ profile was 75% engineering and 25% non-engineer ing. T oday, that percentage has shifted to 5960% engineering. We have responded well to the interest shift, and the w ork of our faculty to broaden W PI’s academ ic program s has served us well. In this context, w e need to invest in human and capital assets to further build and develop our Humanities and Arts as well as M anagem ent Departments. The physical set up of these two departm ents is not optimal and we need to plan for their future. I have raised the question w hether it is m ore advantageous to keep SSPS as a separate unit or w hether there are merits to bringing M anagem ent and SSPS together as two departm ents under the rubric o f a School o f M anagement, Social Sciences and Policy Studies. A nother option is to expand the H um anities and Arts to include the Social Sci ences (thus a Department o f Humanities, Social Sciences and the Arts) and to expand the M an agem ent D epartm ent to include Policy Studies (thus a D epartm ent o f M anagem ent and Policy Studies). The intent is to strengthen, and not to dilute, our com m itm ent to the SS requirem ent and to the IQP project learning experience. These are critical issues which must be dis cussed with the faculty o f the departm ents o f SSPS, H um anities and A rts and M anagem ent, and I look forward to those discussions. In closing, I want to thank every one of you for your commitment and dedication to our students and to WPI.

MATH SCAVENGER HUNT $500 in C ash Prizes A vailab le The PME*Math Awareness Scavenger Hunt is coming to a close this week, but it is not too late to enter! The prizes will be awarded April 28th. Winners will be based on having all correct answers to all of the clues. However, if no one achieves this, winners will be based on how many correct answers they have, as well as how aesthetic the answer to the third clue is. Odds are that any attempt you make could place you in the winner’s circle. Along with the $500 (donated by United Technologies), gift certificates to Spags plus others are also waiting to be won!
Enter Today!! Clue 3
Using only orange, green and purple, color the tiles in the above tiling so that no two tiles that share a side have the same color. No dirty tricks allowed, just clean ones. When you are satisfied with your coloring, bring it to SH 108 and find out what to fill in your scavenger wrapper.
The Final Clue
Your Scavenger W rapper should now be exactly filled out. Unscramble the circled letters to get the name o f an object which is not only sym m etric, but also self similar. (Hint: The object is the limt o f a sequence whose third elem ent is the outline o f your scavenger wrapper. See also QA614.86.S35, 1988, p.26-27.) Multiply the dimension o f the circum ference of the object by the area of the object (when the object is created from a triangle of unit length). W hich highly symmetric double digit occurs strikingly often among the first 1000 decimal places of the numerical evaluation o f this calcula tion? E-mail your answ er to bservat@ w pi and peterrc@ wpi!

Alpha Phi Omega Heyeverybody! How ’s your week been?? Not too many o f them left, so you had better get cracking! This week we had a lot of fun with the pledge projects! Ok, ok...so the word “maybe” isn’t a question, but it sure made quite a statement! The p.j. party was a success, IMHO, and I hope that we can have another one like it soon!! The pledge service project was cleaning up a park...Wow, I thought my room was bad! Any way, it was a lot o f work, but w e sure had fun trying to identify the trash we found....and be sides, now we can put all of those pieces together and get a car for A PO !! Ya-hoo! Voting for the pledges was last night, and inductions are tonight. I hope that EVERY brother makes an effort to be there!! UMOC and the blood drive went well too.... I can’t think o f anything else, so until next tim e....
Bacchus Hello everybody! This is gonna be a short one this week, as I haven’t got a lot o f time to write this. Lets see, w hat’s new in the news: we canceled (or postponed) the fabulous trip to Riverside amuse ment park, so for those o f you who had your hearts set on it - wait till September. Sorry. Also, the Bacchus lunch went off very well on Wednesday, awards were given out to outstanding members, and departing seniors were honored as well. Heather, I’m glad you figured out how to use M ary’s camera before it was too late! Also, I’ve changed my box number in case anybody had the bright idea o f mailing me some veggies...Ann, I’m glad you weren’t swallowed up by the trick cushion. Hey, get this: we’re going to Clark University on Saturday! Actually, by the time you read this, w e’ll have already been there, but hey better late than never! Anyway, The Clark chap ter of Bacchus wants our help making mocktails at a dance over there, apparently they were so awe struck by our presence at the Area 10 conference they want us to “show them the ropes”, or some thing like that. Well kids, I’m late to class, so now its time for me to go. I’m not going to proof read this, so if I’ve made a moronic typo somewhere, I’m completely at fault! Gotta run, SEE YA!!!
Chinese Student Association Well, well, well, here is another edition o f the CSA Club Comer. Two weeks left, I’m anxious to leave, so this article may seem a little dry. How can you blame me? I’m sure most o f you don’t even read this. Not! Every CSA member is an avid reader o f CSA current events. Right?? Anyway, as you all know last Wednesday was our advisor’s birthday. To celebrate, the CSA officers and some o f the members threw the biggest party in CSA history! “W hat was there?” you ask (all you sorry people who missed it). O f course there was Roger, all the food that you could have possibly wanted to eat, great music, and so much more. What ended up happening was, that we turned the party into a big dance and people from all over came over. Man it was great!
Besides that little tid-bit o f interest, something else o f great importance and maybe even greater excitement is the up and coming issue of the “pride and joy” of the CSA. Yes, that is correct. This issue of the Dragon is in a completely new format. It’s hard to explain, but trust me there is tons of new stuff! I mean would you expect anything less from Jimm y? After all, he is the new ISC chair. One more thing. If you have anymore o f those coupons, Angela, you know who to give them to! I guess that’s all I can stand, so I’ll just end it at that. See you guys next week.
Christian Bible Fellowship Are you ready for the home stretch? Well, here we go. Tonight, from 7-9pm, there will be a workshop about relationships with the opposite sex. Come and ask questions and join in on the discussion. W ed we will be gathering for Prayer and Share in Morgan A at 8pm. This will be a great time to come together before our Lord and lift up praise and prayer to Him. Fri night is our last official FNF of the year! So come on out and bring a friend to Morgan A at 7pm for a great time of fellowship. Next Friday is the CBF RE UNION! For all o ff you who will be around, I would highly encourage you to come. Keep looking for more details to follow. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find: knock and the door will be opened to you..” (M atthew 7:7 NI V) At this time in the term, you may be feeling like there is no way that you are ever going to make it to the last day o f classes. Perhaps you are feeling swamped and would like to find a way out. The Bible tells us to seek the Lord Jesus Christ. He will provide more than we could ever ask or imagine. “For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:8 NIV) And this is a promise.
Dance Club Well my time at WPI is coming to a close soon. I hope all of you enjoyed learning the New, new Electric Slide and the Roger Rabbit. I know I enjoyed teaching them. Good luck to the new officers, especially Courtney and Gail. I can’t wait to come back and see you guys all performing at Quad Fest or some event. Make sure to have fun after I leave and move something. -Gilda
forget the end o f the year social event either. Take care. Peace!
Mu Sigma Delta Hey guys and gals! I hope you are all enjoying your last few weeks before the summer starts. This year has really flown by, but next year is just around the comer. Groan...I know you all don’t want to hear about next year yet, but keep in mind that the more involved you become, the better your chances for being accepted to future schools you may want to attend. Just a little tidbit of information. Tidbit? what a neat little word, but it’s not this week’s word. I was censored last week so I will calm it down a bit. This week’s word is G R U B ! What a cool word, it can be taken so many different ways, think about it? I have thought of twelve different connotations o f this word, and if you can think of any more, you should stop reading this right now and go out and get a life! Well, that’s it for me this week...Not really very much medically related info but hey, it’s almost summer, give me a break! Toodles, guppy.
Lens and Lights Hi all, I am actually putting an article in this w eek’s paper. I have Michelle to thank for reminding me, actually. Hopefully this will in spire some more people to show up to meetings (AK 233, Wed. 4:30). W e need people to show up for TSS crews for our movies (you can get in for free), and if you are not busy, please show up for Quadfest. We need people to help Steve with Sound, as well as Craig with lights. This is one of our more fun events, so please show up. We can use all the crew we can get. In other news, NV 13 went well, thanks to all of those who helped. We will need many people to attend next weeks meeting (AK 233, Wed. 4:30), so that we can sign up crews for Alden Voices and the Pub show lighting. Please show up... I may even show up with food... But only if I can get enough mem bers... Well, that is all from your pres, for this week. See you Wed. @4:30 in Atwater Kent 233.

Masque
Sorry that there haven’t been any o f these for a while, but I’m sure you’ll understand when I say two words: MQP push. Practices have been great lately! Keep it up! All right, just so you know. If you didn’t show up last night, you missed elections. We have brand spanking new officers. I don’t know who they are right now, because I’m not clairvoyant. The positions up for grabs were President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Who did YOU vote for? W e’ll have practices right through to the end of the year. Our last official practice will be Thurs day, May 4th. Then, the evening season starts. Look forward to having lots o f fun, and try to avoid getting heat exhaustion. As always, practices are Monday and Thurs day at 7:30. Be there.
Thanks to all who participated in New Voices 1-3. This includes those on stage, on crew, or in the audience. Great job! Of course it’s not too early to think about NV 14. Playwrights, the submission deadline for plays is Feb. 1st, 1996 at 5pm. Summer theatre is up next. W e actually got Alden. Yay! If you are spending the summer in beautiful Worcester, become enlightened indrama. For more information, email dibble@wpi. The MW Rep A term show has been announced as a double bill consisting of: Salmon Sandwiches by Andrew Anderson and Sister Marv Ignatius Ex plains It All by Christopher Durang If you are interested in any production positions, please email wildman@wpi. Keep your eyes open for audition dates. Masque meeting, this Friday in the Green Room behind Alden Stage. Be there!

ISC W ell, for all who missed the meeting on Wednesday, the elections were held and we now have new officers for the club. Before I announce anything (which by now most o f you know any way), I want to give a big round of cheer and congratulations to our old officers: Manuel, Anto nio, and Sabrina - Thank you very much for making it a great year with ISC. N ow , we have good things to look forward to next year. The president is Jim m y Pai, the vice president is Pedro Soria-R odriguez and the secretary is Sashe Kanapathi. W e all know that it is going to be an even greater year next year and the new officers will try to outdo the lead ership o f the officers this year (which will be a hard task)... D on’t worry, there’s still a social event left for the year - this article wasn’t going to be all serious business. There is going to be an end o f the year event which ISC will host - a barbecue on Friday. More information will be passed out via e-mail and therefore I hope everybody stays tuned. It is going to be our final gathering for the year and I hope everybody shows up and has a wonderful time. W ell, that’s all for the article this week. I hope all o f you get your year to finish well. And don’t

AXP Well brothers. I’d say this w eek was blazin, eh? N IBs couldn’t get enuf out o f Tues. and W ed., so let’s sum up their shenanigans. I heard Petie’s room got attacked by albino R usskies (the Salvation Army might be able to rescue that silk jacket). Derek got a special dance one night, and a yawned som ething spe cial the next. Forget... runaw ay; try the laundry room ! Carey, ‘nuff said. “T h a t’s right it only v ib ra te s!” A nybody w h iff that W en d y ’s burger... 1believe Popper did. Spice has “com e” in contact with women. Hey, Lino - how many guys does it take to fill a toilet bowl? O ses trouble with the ladies? must be the pits. Brez, [O gre, Louie] oh so pretty. Finally, as G regory w ould say, get a room! The G A M E returned again with only one brief break as it was spiced up by a freak rain storm. The last hockey game went so well it was like we w eren’t there. Gin lived on as Buhb and Nate were alone in a room for 6 straight hours... what kind o f tote board is that anyw ay? W hat’s airball, Istifan? 9 to 12... thanks its much clearer now. Sorry Crow s, no Night in Chi Rho again - herbs the word. Question, does having a single really pay o ff D oug? The Cave managed to stay clean for a new record seven hours, but then Joey blew up the rice cooker. Anyhow, those new floodlights are great for midnight b-ball, but 1 especially like the new flying film, ham ‘n ’ cheez sub, and apple core obstacles (also the Stewart buffer helps your game). Two more things. One, 1hope Saturday goes well with Grad. Appreciation Day and the Spring Bonanza. Two, let’s thank our soon to be

in B rother o f the month goes to Spanky, w ho made a record appearance o f four times to the house, some not even during lunch or dinner. Spanky, Spanky!! K ile is going really good (w ell), and our JA ’s are taking up the slack. Um, ugly man becam e fam ous, is now the center o f attention o f all the ladies.

end. Excellent jo b organizing everything! Thanks also to TTieta Chi for the com bined efforts this year in the hosting o f the basketball and the bowl ing tournam ents, it was good w ork ing w ith you. Thanks to G illis for organizing the aw esom e Big B rother/Little Sister potluck dinner Saturday night, it was a great tim e and a lot of fun w atching the other brothers drool over all of the food that we had. A round and around we go where will all passed o u t every one knows! It sure didn’t take eighty days to go around the world Friday night and I ju s t have to say that everyone know s that the fam ous Birdie drink rules the world and if you m issed it, then suffer until next year. Spam you like the pressed ham d o n ’t you? Sahal the tw o day Suff. boy, yeah w hatever, we all know how you’re really gonna get the A on it. The Slush Puppie gang is in full effect now.

The Raabi bids you all farewell and a good week.
©X W ord to the streets..yet another beautiful, stress filled week in D term and we still aren’t done w ith this place. Y ’all better kick back and listen to what I saw this week dow n at the house. To start things off, has anyone ever seen Dow ney lose self control, run at you like he’s gonna kill you for food, only to stop right in your face and say “W hat’s up guy” in that hooked-on-phonics voice o f his? T hat hap pened twice. The Epsilon medical team , led by w annabe physician (m aybe in his next life) Mike D , has spent countless hours studying the behavior o f this man, and have com e to the conclusion that George is suffering from chronic elephantitus of the mind, a rare but non-conta gious disease known to be m agnified through second hand contact with puss from B runo’s toe. W e all hope for a speedy recovery. Also in sick bay, there is a certain brother nam ed Bill who hasn ’t been around lately due to a serious . case o f the ‘pox. H e’d appreciate a call... get his num ber from me. Hey...I saw L aroche m op the basem ent! (3 weeks after the party isn ’t bad) I also saw a chem ically altered H ager, etc. make an attem pt at sitting a full glass o f soda on his floor. Three refills later, it finally becam e apparent that while the rug’s thirst was thor oughly quenched, nobody had taken a sip yet. All righty then...2 more w eeks, let’s get up the house psyche, bring hom e the cup, and close out the year with a blast o f a party. U ntil next week, I ’m audi 5 (like last year)...
