“Engineering Criteria 2000” accredidation at WPI by Jason O. P apadopou los N ew speak S ta ff W PI is one o f only tw o U.S. u n i v ersities selected to p articipate in the testing o f a new accred itatio n program designed by the A ccred ita tion Board for E ngineering and T ech nology (A BET). WPI and another public university will start ev a lu a t ing stu d en ts’ achievem ents based on the “ E n g in eerin g C rite ria 2 0 0 0 ," w hich is the name for the proposed accreditation program . A B E T with the help o f WPI will m onitor and record the results, problem s, and ad vantages o f the program and will then prepare a case study based on each institution’s results. M ost of W P I’s engin eerin g d isc i plines are presently accred ited by A BET.

Biomedical Engineering major approved by faculty for next fall by Brian Parker Associate Editor Last Thursday, February 1st, the fac ulty held a special meeting in order to finish the agenda from their January 18th meeting. The first item for consid eration was the addition o f a new major in Biomedical Engineering. Provost Apelian spoke in favor o f the new major, stating: ‘T his program will respond to the needs o f the marketplace, particu larly to many women who are interested in the field o f Biomedical Engineering. We ought to have a department of this sort." There was some concern over w hether the necessary laboratory space could be
found and whether the program as a whole might cause the faculty to take on more work. The Provost’s response to this was that revenue generated by the program would be reinvested in faculty and additional space. It is expected that around 110 stu dents will be ultimately involved in the program, starting with around ten this fall. Professor Cheetham, head of the Biology and Biotechnology Department mentioned that the program will increase diversity on campus, help to bring in more students and be overall be a healthy addition to what the school has to offer. He also jokingly remarked that perhaps this addition will merit a new building on campus for all o f the biology related
WPI History and Traditions Part VII: The Winter Carnival by Donna Emma Edzards Associate Editor This week’s article is all about that annual event known as the Winter Car nival. It all started about 60 years ago as yet another Freshman/Sophomore Ri valry event, the Tech Carnival. This event was the kickoff to all other com petitive affairs. The Freshman and Sophomore classes would each put on a skit to be judged by a select team o f judges. While these judges made their decision, the faculty would put on a skit o f their own. Mind you, all o f these skits were totally and uniquely conceived, directed and acted out by the partici pants. Nils Hagberg, the campus cop, was MC o f the event telling jokes be tween skits to keep the audience o f up perclassmen, faculty and staff enter tained. The Tech Carnival saw an unfortu nate demise in those rebel years that our grandparents would rather forget, the 1960’s. It was at this lime thal the students became rowdy and the skit top ics were considered greatly distasteful. The event which started out o f fun as a chance for freshmen to meet sophomore students and the faculty deteriorated into
a rather unpleasant affair. Last year we saw the revival of this event w'ith a new twist. The Tech Carni val returned to campus as the Tech Win ter Carnival. The original idea o f bring ing faculty and students together was restored with the Faculty/Student Social in Gompei’s Function Room. Other events which were featured last year and will again be held this year include the Open Mic, Bands, the Klondike Bar Hunt, Turkey Bowling, and Broom Ball on the Quad. New to this year’s carnival are the Hot Pepper Eating Contest, and hypnotist Ronny Romm. All Winter Carnival Events are free to participants and many offer the chance to win great prizes. Also, don’t forget to go to WPI night with the IceCats at the Worcester C en trum, a 4pm game versus division rivals, the Springfield Falcons. Come cheer on the hometown team to victory! It costs only $5!!! T hat's less than it costs fo ra trip to the movies, and chances are you’11 sec more hits and fights. See Chris Jachimowicv in the Student Activities Office for details. So jum p at your chance to make WPI history! See you on the Quad and at the game!

ing at graduation. Currently, students who drop an IQP or an MQP, and have letter grades, receive class credit for those units o f work (but not credit to wards their IQP or MQP). Students who have received SPgrades must have those changed to letter grades to receive credit. Confusion arises from the fact that audit sheets still count the SP as credit until graduation. If SP grades are not changed to letter grades, they evaporate at the time o f graduation (this is because they are a recordof progress, not achieve ment and after a student graduates they have presumably moved on). A motion was made to allow SP credit to stay on the final transcript, but this was denied by the faculty. The faculty also approved a mecha nism to enforce W PI’s long-standing policy on pay and credit. In 1973 WPI adopted a policy that allowed students to receive pay and credit from the same organization, as long as the work for pay and the work for credit was clearly sepa rated. The new method for ensuring that

this policy is followed will probably involve a form thal the student, the ad viser, the employer and the director of co-op will have to solve. A new masters program in Civil and Environmental Engineering was ap proved. There was also a report from the Financial and Administrative Policy committee with regard to next year’s budget. Although the school is hoping to see 650 new freshmen, the budgeting process is counting on 630 in its most recent figures. There is a projected tuition increase of around 5%, but this figure is not definite as the budget pro cess is ongoing. An interesting point was made that between 1992 and 1995 total expenses went up 16.5% while academic expenses for the college saw a 5 .1% increase. More information on minors and con centrations will be available to students in a supplement to the undergraduate catalog. This supplement should be distributed inconjunction with Academic Advising Day (February 15th).

programs on campus. Rachel Butland spoke on behalf of students when she voiced her con cerns over the num ber o f C ategory II classes (courses offered every other year) which might limit student’s abil ity to go on co-op o r to a project center. She also noted that the program ’s three separate interest areas (from which all BM E students must choose one) might force students to becom e over concen trated. There were reassurances that the fac ulty would be more than willing to work with students on small problems, as well as try to reclassify some o f the category II classes if there was enough interest. On the topic of interest areas, it was pointed out that currently students inter ested in Biomedical Engineering at any level have to show strengths in particu lar areas. This cannot be assured if students do not concentrate on a particu lar interest. Another issue considered at the meet ing was the current policy on “SP” grad

Each year, the Student Government Associa tion runs three separate elections, one in A-term for Senate, one in C-term for officers and senators-at-large, and another in D-term for commit tee representatives. The election calendar was officially announced January 26th, and the nomi nation period opened on January 29. To be placed on the ballot, a candidate for the offices o f President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, or Senator-At-Large must pick up a petition in the SGA office and return it, with twenty undergraduate signaturestom orrow , Feb ruary 9. While the responsibilities o f the execu tive offices are pretty self-explanatory (just look at the SGA By-laws on the web), the three Sena tor-At-Large positions may not be so well-known. Basically, the student body elected fourteen offcampus and twelve on-campus senators in Aterm, and the entire student body will now to gether elect three senators whose constituents are not based solely on or off-campus. On Thursday o f this week, there will be a Meet
the Candidates “Debate” at 4:30 in the Lower Wedge. This is an opportunity for the student body to meet each candidate, ask questions, and hear about the issues each candidate hopes to tackle if elected. At that time, candidates mustalso submit their letters of candidacy to the SGA Secretary for printing in next w eek’s issue o f Newspeak. After a lottery conducted on Friday to deter mine the order o f candidates on the official ballot, the polls will open at midnight on Thursday, February 15. Students can use the sgavote pro gram on the WPI network to submit their votes through Sunday, February 18. The next day, Monday, February 19, the polls will reopen, this time in Daniels Mailroom, for paper balloting. On this week’s agenda: Last week, the Senate had no business to discuss, so the meeting was adjourned early. This week, however, the Senate has several items o f
both old business (tabled from previous meetings) and new business (bills which have never been considered by the Senate). First off, last week. President Connelly asked the Senate to approve her appointment o f three new senators: Jonathan Chaillet (CS ‘98). James (Ben) Petro (BBT ‘97), and Christopher Mello (MIS ‘96). Another item o f old business is the Under graduate Social Fee Restructuring Proposal, which was sent back to the Appropriations Committee for further work at a meeting held two weeks ago. This week, the committee is scheduled to report on their activities regarding the proposal and their intended action - it is feasible that they will choose to withdraw the motion completely and submit a new motion, perhaps a call for a referendum, in its place. Were the committee to call for a referen dum, the student body would vote on the issue of raising the social fee during the C-term elections. Under new business, the Appropriations Com mittee will submit two requests for special fund ing, one from the Music Association (Class III) for about $5000 and another for the Actuarial Club (Class I) for $ 1300. The Class III Organiza tional Class Finance Committee (OCFC) voted to grant Music Association’s request, which would partially fund the Glee Club’s upcoming tour of Ireland and England during Spring Break. The group has done a lot of fund-raising this year to cover the costs, but they still came up short. Appropriations Committee will recommend to the Senate that they approve the request. The Actuarial C lub’s request is for the purpose of
purchasing exam books for students taking actu arial exams. Class I OCFC voted to grant their request, and the Appropriations Committee will recommend passage o f this request as well. The third and final item of business on the agenda will be from the Policies and Procedures Committee, a committee o f senators which main tain and develop SG A ’s governing documents (Constitution, By-Laws, and Rules of Operation). The committee will meet before Tuesday’s meet ing to draft an amendment lo the Senate’s Rules o f Operation which would reduce the number o f committees on which each senator must serve from two to one. The rationale behind this is that the time commitment required to actively serve on more than one committee is too high to be re quired and that there are too many people on certain committees to make getting any work done easy. Hopefully, reducing the number o f committees on which senators must serve will cut down on the number o f inactive members. Once again, it looks like it could be a long meeting, as well as a long term for the Senate. In the background, OCFCs for Classes I, II, and III are holding budget hearings for each student organization, and the Senate will be voting on the overall Student Government Budget in the begin ning o f D-term. (The Student Government Bud get includes the budgets o f each student group along with the Senate operating budget for the next fiscal year.) A lot of changes were made to the budgeting process for this year and it appears that more could be on the way, depending upon who the new Treasurer will be.

Women’s Basketball (13-5) The women continue to win the games they need to as they move towards a possible postseason bid. Last week they defeated two of the top ten ranked schools in New England. The Engineers are currently ranked #9 in the most recent NCAA Northeast Region Poll. WPI opened up their NEW 8 Conference schedule on the 27th against the defending cham pion Lyons o f Wheaton College. Last year W heaton defeated WPI in the conference tournam ent final. It took an extra session, but WPI pulled out a 72-66 win. The Engineers had a 10 point halflime lead that they saw disappear and actually turn into a defecit late in the fourth quarter. They did tie it and then outscored W heaton 10-4 in overtim e to take the big win and start us o ff to a 1-0 conference record. D anielle Batey led all scorers with 20 points and Kim Landry added 17 points to go with her 13 rebounds.

The gym was alive as they witnessed a strong first half by the visiting Cou gars who led at the break 34-24. Clark still had the
lead by 12 points with eight minutes remaining. WPI then turned up the defense as the began to cut into the lead. They cut the lead to 56-53 with 3:28 remaining. The Engineers trailed by three points with 1:28 left when Batey hit a pull-up jum per to bring the score to 59-58 with less than one minute remaining. Then WPI came up with a defensive stop and moved the ball upcourt to set the offense. The ball was kicked out to Jen Plante who took the shot and made it to give the Engineers their first lead o f the game at 60-59. There was now 26 seconds left when Clark had their opportunity to take the lead. They went to their go-to player and she hit a tough shot over three defenders to give the lead back to Clark. With 10 seconds remain ing WPI had the ball, but had to go the full length o f the floor. They inboundcd to Plante who took the ball over half court and passed to Batey above the arc. Batey then drove and hit the runner with three seconds left to give the lead back at 62-61. Clark was not able todo anything with the remain ing time as WPI took the huge win to move to 20 in the conference.
Men’s Basketball (9-7) The men completed a 2-1 week with three very close games. One basket or a foul call and it could have been 3-0. On the 27th, the Engineers hosted Coast Guard trying lo snap a two-game losing streak. The game was tied at halftime as neither leam could pull away from the other. WPI did have the lead at 64-63 with 17 seconds left. Coast Guard made two free throws to take the lead. On the next posession WPI turned it over and was forced to foul on the ensuing inbounds play. Coast Guard made the two foul shots to lead 67-64. Mike Shannon had a last shot, but it hit the front o f the rim. Jeff Cayer led four players in double figures with 18 points. Jim Naughton had 16 points, Greg Simpson relumed to the starting lineup and had 13 points and Shannon had 11 points.

Shannon hit a three point shot with one minute left to give WPI the lead for good at 78-77. Jeff Kijak iced the game with a layup to make the final 82-77.

IceCats’ win streak continues, as do transactions (Good Luck Fichaud!) by Andrew Marsella Associate Editor At long last, the winter drought seems to be over, and the Worcester IceCats are back to their winning ways. After beating the Providence Bruins soundly at home a week ago Saturday (the 27th), the ‘Cats started what might be their most successful road trip yet. The first stop was down in Providence against the Baby-B’s again, where Worcester won for the first time in team history, carried by strong performances from forward Freddie Knipscheer and goalie Mike Buzak, as well as new-comer Sergei Kharin. Kharin, a veteran forward for many years in the 1HL, was acquired by the IceCats from Dayton o f the East Coast Hockey League, in an effort to add some offensive depth and experience in the midst o f all the recent call-ups to NHL affiliates New York Islanders and St. Louis Blues. He scored arguably the most important goal of his IceCat career in the game-winner against the Bruins in Providence, ending Worcester’s 10-game losing streak versus the B ’s at home. The move to sign Kharin was prompted by a number o f significant depletions to the IceCats’ roster due to NHL call-ups, most importantly the loss o f goalie sensation Eric Fichaud to the Island ers on Tuesday (the 30th). Fichaud played in the
Islanders vs. the Buffalo Sabres game that night and made 26 saves to earn his first NHL win in overtime. Although no one was too worried about the goaltending situation in Worcester, since Buzak has been playing phenomenally, the Islanders sent goalie Jamie McLennan from Utah in the IHL to fill the slot in the IceCats roster. McLennan, who played for the Islanders in the shortened ‘9495 season as well as early in this season, arrived on Thursday (the 1st), and was in net on Friday night (the 2nd) in Nova Scotia, earning his first IceCats win with a 3-1 victory over the Cape Breton Oilers. McLennan made 30 saves and allowed only one goal (a disputed one at that) to start off the ‘Cats Maritime road trip on the right foot. Once again, Sergei Kharin played well adding, two goals and as assist to boost the ‘Cats to their second straight road win. With a little luck, this momentum will carry over through the rest of the ‘Cats trip in the Maritimes, where Worcester usually does extremely well, anyway. Also involved in the recent call-ups, Patrice Tardif was sent up to St. Louis, along with defenseman/forward Terry Virtue. Virtue, who has been playing extremely well for the ‘Cats all season, is the first “hom e-grow n” IceCat (un signed to either affiliate) to be called up to the NHL.

Say brother, can you spare a dime? F ebruary is the tim e o f y ear when the w hole college looks forw ard to next year. A cadem ic advising day is quickly approaching; requiring all returning stu d en ts to look at w hat th e y ’ ve done and at what they hope to accom plish. It is also the tim e o f y ear when everyone looks to th eir budgets. The tru stees m eet and decide on any necessary tuition increases, w hile on a sm aller scale, every student activity m akes its request for m oney to the Student G overnm ent. T his is an im portant role o f SGA, one w hich they take very seriously and one w hich benefits every organization. It is yet another exam ple o f student involvem ent in policy decisions at this school and som ething w hich we should all take pride in. O ver the past week and a half, the m em bers o f C lass III o rg an izatio n s learned that nearly one fifth o f our collective budget w ould need to be cut. At first we w ere upset, to say the least. T here seem ed to be a serious lack o f co m m u n ica tion betw een the SGA and the SA EC (S tudent A ctivities E xecutive C ouncil which is m ade up o f leaders o f C lass 111 o rg an izatio n s). Two new g roups were being added to our budget pool (W PIR and the M usic A ssociation) and to try
and reduce the funds (from roughly $210,000 this year to $200,000 next year) seem ed d ifficult. Last Thursday (February 1st), members o f SAEC and SGA met and were able to have a good discussion o f our options. They seem to be limited. First, the money collected by social fees will probably decrease next year as the senior class has around 700 members and 650 freshmen arc expected to enroll. Second, SGA decided to put more money into reserve in next year’s budget. T his reserve is used by organizations for special and emergency funding and it makes sense to put money aside for currently unanticipated future expenses. There is little that SGA can do on its ow n, its hands are tied with a fixed income and expenses that are higher than income. In last w eek’s Newspeak there was some discussion o f two other options which have recently come up in the Senate. One calls for a transfer o f two expenses, the A ssistant Dean for Student Activities salary and service contracts on the Perreault film projectors (totalling roughly $22,000), from the social fee to the Institute’s budget. There are strong feelings against that proposal among the adm inistrators o f the school, because the money ju st isn’t there either.
T his brings us to the second proposal, w hich w ill hit us all in the w allet, an increase in the social fee. The proposal w ould tack around $20 onto the current $100 paid by all students as part o f th eir tuition bills. In order to convince the trustees that such an increase is necessary, student support is needed. Last N ovem ber a petition w as circulated in regards to this increase, but student response was very sm all. A 20% decrease in funding to C lass III organizations w o n ’t result in a direct 20% decrease in program m ing on cam pus, but there m ight be a few changes. T his is n ’t the tim e to start sounding alarm s, it is the tim e for C lass III to consider w hat can be cut and for students to show their support for the program s provided o n 'cam p u s. The increase in the social fee is som ething w hich N ewspeak and the o th er C lass III o rganizations support. C am pus program m ing is som ething which we take very seriously and the m em bers o f SA EC feel that we have planned a great year. Events on cam pus are o ffered for free o r for a very m inim al cost to all students and we hope that this can continue. Y our support will be greatly app reciated , so invest in the com m unity!

by S teph en Brown P ro testa n t C am pus M inistry I got into one o f those w onderful S tar T rek argum ents the o th er day about the N o n-Interference Policy that is espoused as G ospel in the Star T rek universe. K now n as the Prime D irective, it is the one rule w hich is absolute for all S tar Fleet personnel. Sim ply stated, no Star Fleet persons or crew is allow ed to interfere in the affairs o f ano th er civilization. To do so w ould be to “co n tam inate” that society and disrupt their “ n atu ral” life and history. Let me give you a b rief exam ple from the episode my friends and I w ere debating. The story revolved around Planet A w ho suffered from a plague w hich had no cure and a sec ond, Planet B, a planet w here a plant w ith the only treatm ent for the plague could be found. The crew from the E nterprise rescues two m em bers from each society and a cargo o f the m edi cine needed to treat the plague. U nfortu n ately , the paym ent that the tw o men from p lag u e -rid d en Planet A had to pay for the m edicine w as lost during the rescue. Fearing im m inent death, they beg the two re p re se n ta tiv e s from P lan et B to please give them the m edicine so they can live, and they will pay for the m edicine later. B ecause the only industry that Planet B has is to p ro duce the m edicine for the people o f Planet A, they refuse to give up the m edicine until they receive paym ent.

is C aptain Picard and the sh ip ’s su r geon, Dr. C rusher. Picard refuses to force Planet B ’s people to turn over the m edicine to Planet A because o f the non-interference directive. Even when Dr. C ru sh er discovers that the m edicine is not m edicine but a n ar cotic and the plague is not deadly, Picard refuses to even tell Planet A that they are being duped. He does do som ething so that this will be the last “ m ed icin e” that is ever d eliv ered. So Planet A can no longer get their “ m ed icin e” and Planet B will have no one to sell the “ m edicine” to anym ore. Are you still w ith m e? At the end of the show . Dr. C rusher is angry that C aptain Picard w ould neither tell the duped Planet A that they w ere not going to die from the plague and were ju st drug addicts, nor w ould he allow the d o cto r to give Planet A synthetic drug that w ould ease their w ithdraw al sym ptom s. The captain insists that the Prime D irective is not “a choice but a way o f life.” H istory show s, the captain says, that w hen a more advanced society interferes with a lesser advanced society, it alm ost alw ays disrupts and harm s the lesser society. The d o cto r g ets in the last, and for my m oney, the best line o f the e p i sode. R eplying to the C ap tain ’s rea soning for invoking the Prim e D irec tive, Dr. C ru sh er says, “ It is hard to be philosophical in the face o f su ffer ing.” A friend o f mine who was part o f the d iscussion took the d o cto r’s side
in the debate. She said that she b e lieved that Jesus w ould “ in terfere” and w ould slop the suffering. Boy, did the debate get started then. Som e argued that is precisely w hat our C h ristia n m issio n a rie s do: go to “ lesser” societies and disrupt their lives and future by im posing on them our values, which may not help the “ lesser” society. The o th er side re plied that there are som e values that are universal and that people who oppose slavery or genocide have an obligation to “ interfere” with those societies w hich practice such evils. I w as left pondering w hich G ospel was the correct one: the G ospel a c cording to G ene R oddenberry or the G ospel o f Jesus C h rist? Am I my b rother’s keeper, do I stop and help the man lying in the ditch, do I fight against slavery and genocide w h er ever it exist? Or do I assum e that people and societies w ill evolve as they should and to “in terfere” with them is to harm them ? Even if that m eans not opposing th eir slavery or genocide? C ount me on the side o f those who w ould “interfere.” I w ould have told the people from Planet A that they w ere being duped with the “ m ed i cin e” and done w hat I could to ease their pain. I do stop for the man in the ditch. I support o u r troops being in B osnia to stop the genocide. I love Star T rek, but I often find the Prim e D irective troublesom e. G uess that w ould disqualify me from jo in in g Star Fleet. M aybe I can jo in the C hristian faith.

On Becoming (Conclusion on a series on initiation into manhood) by Tom B alistrieri D irecto r o f C ou n selin g a n d S tu den t D evelopm en t There is a saying in many ancient cultures that goes som ething like this: "D o n 't give a young man a w eapon until you teach him to dan ce." The dance, o f c ourse, refers to the dance o f life. Y oung men and w om en must learn to live in balance if they, and the civilization in w hich they live, are to thrive. The w ord thrive, versus survive, is used very d elib erately .
Young men and wom en m ust learn lo love them selv es, understand that they are related to all things and that w hatever they do has an im pact on som ething o r som eone. Y oung m en and women m ust learn the b alance o f m asculine and fem inine tones, the balance o f the physical, em o tio n al, sp iritu al, and intellectual asp ects o f life. They m ust becom e aw are that w ithin them lies the arch ety p e o f a m onarch, a w arrio r, a m agician, and a lover. Y oung men and w om en must once again learn and under-
stand the lessons o f earth, fire, air, and w ater. They m ust learn to re spect the w isdom o f their eld ers, the w isdom o f nature, and their place in the universe. T he young boys in the th ree-p art story 1 shared with you spent m any more w eeks, m onths and ev en tu ally y ears learning to becom e w ise men. A s im ila r e x p e rie n c e e x is ts fo r w om en. W omen, as well as m en, must learn the balance and in trica cies o f life if they are to be good, w ise, and effective adults.
Have you got those “winter blues”? by Susana K. O 'H ara, Assistant Director, Counseling and Student Developm ent Well, here it is, that time o f the year again! M any of us take cold weather, ski slopes, pond hockey, and long nights with vigor and a smile. “W inter is the best time o f year,” some say. If this is you, all the power to you; have a great time. Now, for the rest o f us poor folks whose bodies (the hypothalmus. neurotransm itlcrs, etc.) react the other way— i.e., the “Summers are great, the winters are to be borne with grace” type of people — here are some ideas in tended to help us through the rest o f the term and into Spring Break. Depending on what part o f the coun try you com e from and w ho you talk to, you may have heard the terms “cabin lever,” the “ winter blues,” o f “seasonal affective disorder (SAD).” Now these terms all express the same state of affairs. It really refers to the mood that some folks get into— only because it is wintertime. Research studies show
that SAD may be caused by the sm aller amounts of sunlight available during the winter months and the b ody's diffi culty in adapting to the w inter season. The higher the latitude one lives at, the greater the chance o f having SAD. If you think you or a friend may have it, here’s what may help. 1. Get out o f the “cabin” every day. Ok, what I mean is, plan to do an outside activity especially during the days when the sun shines. Besides going to classes, plan to be outside in some activity such as walking to a store or going for a jo g when the sun is shining the strongest, usually around noontime. 2. If you don’t make it out in the direct sunlight for an hour every day, try to go to events where there is lots of artificial light in the evenings. This is where going to the mall or to volley ball, basketball, sw im m ing, o r ice hockey games is easily justified — not only can you have fun, why, you are even helping to overcome those winter blues at the same time!!! 3. If you are indoors a lot and have
a window, getting sunlight can be ac com plished by rearranging your living or work area. The idea is to have the sun rays reach you as much as possible. 4. G et some excercise, w hatever it is that you mean by that word. Any kind o f pulse-raising activity can help. Ex ercising outdoors in direct sunlight is a great choice. If you are not the out doors type, take up aerobics, fencing, ballroom or square dancing— anything thal is fun enough to make it worth your while to get to it. You say you'll never go out in that cold, wintry night? Well, consider getting a few exercise videos and doing them at home. Or, make a contract with a friend to do calisthen ics. If you can, take the stairs wherever you go. A day o f sporadic clim bing can be as healthful as a stint on the step machine. Maintaining your fitness level dur ing the winter season is a prerequisite for keeping your spirits high and the body healthy. If these lips d o n ’t seem to help, please call 831-5540 for a consultation on other treatments thal mighl work for you or your friend.
F inally, young men and young w om en participate in an initiation cerem ony w hen it is determ ined that they have learned their lessons and are ready to proceed dow n the path o f adulthood. An initiation cerem ony is not an ending, it is a beginning. It is a statem ent m ade by the elder and the young person being initiated. The statem ent is, "A nother hum an now c o n sc io u sly c h o o ses to e n te r the w orld as a relative o f all things.” C om m it ment m ade, the youth is given a w ound. M aybe the w ound is a tattoo, a scar, o r an earring. M aybe a tooth is knocked out o r the child is circum cised. T he w ound announces, “ You now leave childish things b e hind and m ove onto the path o f ad u lt hood. T he w ound m akes it clear that you no longer have the perfect body o f a child. T he wound rem inds you o f your em otional and psychological w ounds that you must turn lo gold. Y our w ound m atches the w ound o f e v e ry o n e e ls e in th e tr ib e w ho throughout tim e received this wound upon initiation. You are now one o f us. It is ex p ected that you will act resp o n sib ly ." T his initiation preparation and cer em ony have been lost to m any in the w estern w orld. All too often c h il dren d o not have com m unity m em bers, extended fam ily, m entors, or even parents to help them through th eir jo u rn e y into adulthood. T here are few people to teach them im por tant lessons, to drum for them , cry for them , pray for them , or share w ater w ith them . T his loss o f initiation has left a h o rrib le gap and co n trib u tes to the isolation, depression, abuse o f drugs, and violence wc see in our society. The isolation and violence must
stop. T here is a w ay. Bring back the m entoring, the teaching, and the in i tiation. It can be done. Next year the C SD C will be offering a year-long process called “ P assage” . It is a process that was research, d esigned, and im p lem en ted by this a u th o r. O ver one hundred students, staff, and faculty have participated in som e aspect o f the process over the past four years at the U niversity o f M in nesota, M orris. O ther universities arc im p lem en tin g portions o f the “ P assage” process or creatin g th eir ow n versions o f the process. The process is a holistically based, non credit course, w hich m eets once a w eek for a year. S torytelling, m usic, poetry, art, dance, cerem ony, lec ture, field trips, m entoring, tem p er ing projects, and a m ultiple-day in i tiation are all parts of the process. S tudents at other universities w ho initially thought they d id n ’t have enough tim e to participate ended up saying, “ It is the m ost im portant thing I have ev er d one” and in fact becom e m entors for the next group. “ Passage” will be initiated at WPI during A term o f next year. A bout tw enty students w ill be able to p a r ticipate the first year. W atch for advertisem ents to sign up. T his year in C and D term s the CSDC sta ff will be presenting com ponents o f "P a s sage" including storytelling, d ru m m ing, and, wc hope, som e trips o u t doors w hen the w eather im proves. One o f our first program s w ill be a storytelling session to b e held F eb ru ary 12, M onday night, 7:00 PM in Riley C om m ons. Come hear a story about w itches, snakes, and the holy grail. B ring yo u r pillow, b lankets, and a teddy bear. W e'll provide the cookies. See you there!!!.!

Alpine Ski Team Well, another week gone by, and another race done. By the time you read this, we will have beat GMC at Haystack, but for now, our only results are for Loon, on the weekend of the 27th and 28th: Saturday: a pretty good slalom, despite the rainBut the rain, wasn’t the problem, the wind was. So we got winded out of a second run when they closed down the mountain. Sunday: unfortunately, we didn't get to run a full length GS on Sunday. 1 guess everyone wanted toget home in time forthe Super Bowl. Stinks, because the GS at Loon rocks... Everybody make an effort to be at snow prac tice on Wednesday: Leaving the Quad at 4:30 for Nashoba Valley.... Don’t get too confident, Beaver.... Ski Fast, don’t Fall...

Yes, The contestants are al most ready. The actual contest will take place from February 12 to February 16, so volunteer to sit and collect votes.

WPI ASCE will also be bringing several practic ing civil engineers to WPI to speak on Feb. 19.

Stay tuned for more information.
Chinese Student Association Once upon a time there was a CSA member who had to go somewhere, but he had to write something called the C SA ’s Club C om er in Newspeak. He tried to get other people to write it for him but, no one was available. He had to get to that place at 3:30, but it was already 3:00! “What can I do?” He asked himself. “ I know I’ll just write a shorter one this time!" He justified that this was the correct thing lo do, because other clubs have pretty short articles as well. Also nothing much had happened over the week. He decided to recall what had occurred. One thing he remembered was how there was supposed to be a meeting for the Chinese New Year. “Let me see....” he wondered to himself. “ I remember!” What he recalled was that there was this meeting on tuesday, and everybody showed up except for two very important people. Who were these two? Why, no other than Angela and Eric! The C SA ’s hottest couple (debatable). Well, I don’t know if you recievedemail from the President, but apparently he got lost somewhere (tee hee). “ Well," he thought. “ Maybe I should end this article and get going.” Thus he began to conclude the article. "Please remember that the New Year’s Dinner is on Chinese New Years Day. Please remember lo tell all o f your friends aboul it. Also don’t forget to clean those homepages up. The deadline for the contest is coming up soon!” With just a couple more remarks he ended the article with “T hat's all folks, have another great week!" Then he got up and went to his meeting.

Morgan A, for Friday Night Fellowship. It is a time that we focus on Him in praise and prayer and share what the Lord has been doing in our lives. Or, if you have missed out or this w eek's exercise, come to Alumni at 10:30 am, on Saturday. We will be meeting by the front door to decide what to play, and then commence to play it. “ Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne o f God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:2-3 (NIV). These verses start off by reminding us who Jesus is and what He did. They tell us that we should be ever mindful of this; but more than ever mindful, we should have our full attention on Jesus. Don’t pul Him out of your life, or in a recess in the back o f your mind, but fix your eyes on Him. The verses go on to tell us why we should do this. So that we will not become exhausted from bearing our crosses and wonder why we have them we should focus on Him. Jesus bore the weight o f every human’s sins. Thinking about this, I am able to carry my dinky little cross with ease.

Fri day 4:30pm, Green Room behind Alden stage as usual. King Friday.
College Bowl I decided that it was about time we got some publicity. Since USA Today w ouldn't put us in the sports section, this was my second choice. Anyway, here’s the playoff picture if the tourna ment ended right now (actually, it’s Thursday as I write this, and by the time this is printed. Divi sion 2 is done, and their contenders arc decided): [As of February I ] Division I Teams- (Games, Wins, Losses) To Be Determined (4,3,1); W arner Brothers (2,2,0); AGD 1 (2. 2, 0); Trees (4, 2, 2). Division 2 Teams- (Games, Wins, Losses) A-Team (5 4 1); Team 14 (3, 3, 0); Angry Chickens (4, 3, 1); Chaos (4, 2, 2). The league's top three scorers are: Peter Bourgeois, Team 14, 205 points in 3 games, averaging68.33 ppg; Mike Mazur, Angry Chickens, 235 in 4,58.75 ppg; John Hiltz, Bus' It, 95 in 2, 47.50 ppg Thought some recognition was due...half way through the tournament, and w e’ve got some real contests. Everyone could still make it, so good luck this week.
Science Fiction Society “ Welcome to the first SFS club com er in a loooong tim e.” So long, that at most one o f our brand new officers has ever seen one before. At last week's meeting, in addition to an assassina tion attempt on the poor, defenseless secretary, and of course the customary total chaos, we did the annual Naming Of The Officers. President Mike Galvin was bequeathed with "He Who is Too Stupid to Break in After We Took Too Damn Long.” Vice President Ben Holt is now known as "gentle ben.” Secretary Steve Dupree is to be called “that wicked cool guy,” oops I mean “Yet another Long-Haired hippie.” Treasurer Mike Caprio is henceforth “Chief Embezzler,” a devia tion from his normal “fuzzy _____ bunny” appelalions. While the librarians Steve Martin and Justin Brzozoski (yes. thats a silent ‘z ’....) were not officially given names, either one could be caljcd “.the man with Half q kQy” id It* neytf gWijtWW given some neat-o ideas. Among them arc: A giant inter-Sci-fi society party ; A capture o f the ever-elusivc 'Gam ing W eekend' beast; Movie nights and weekends, especially a Star Trek marathon (FnordFest), maybe even with a break for food; Trips to the Omni Theater and Higgins Armory: And a multi-player DESCENT/Doom network game, sometime next week (stay tuned for details). Also, Treasurer Mike is going to get som e kewl new stuff for the Library. What this boils down lo, is that the new leadership o f the SFS promises to make it once again a spiffy club, and a great place to take yourself, all your friends, and all their friends, by whatever means neccesary, next week, 7:00 p.m., in Olin 218, For a Good Time.
French Club -jrti ot J bonYj , 1 •Ki:' y-’ v /j spr.tj WMTinmrvvioinijj Hi! 1 would first o f ail thank everybody who was at the first meeting o f the French Circle last Wednesday. 1believe that it was a real success as there were more people then I would have ex pected. We were around fifteen and I could say that we had a good time speaking French. We have discussed a bit of everything: about what we were going to do in the near future (next week), about the problems that we have at WPI for the Sufficiency and also about going to a French movie next week. I have had a couple of good suggestions about what we could do on the next meetings. I was suggested by our secretary, Adrian, to get a topic to be discussed every week, in French naturally. If you guys have any other suggestions or questions, please email the club at

Hey everyone! 1 want to first congratulate all our senior sisters who have found jobs! Great work. Good job to julie for organizing hand print T ’s. To the college bowl team , you have to win ya know! What is a tomato?! H ere’s to silly rose notes! A big hug and the ugly dog goes to anil and the spirit hat goes to amy for her great programs. Standing O! D on't forget to go give blood tomorrow. Thanks to all the moms for helping the pledges study for the big test. To nappi and Deb: are they almost ready or what!? To everyone that has a class on wed nitcs we miss ya. Is anyone else just really annoyed with this term or what? It’s almost over, i hope! hang in there, and if you’re just too stressed go on the movie trip je n ’s planning. To the pledges, make sure you have some red, buff and green things! W e ’re a lm o st th e re . U n til nex t w eek. ADOVEL1NG
A TO Come on. Come on. Bugeye becam e a freak this past Tuesday night after treating Budha to his 2 1st. Budha, nice face plant o ff the balcony. Try to use your lace a little more next time. 1still give you a 9 out o f 10 for effort. Slade, throw another pancake at Justin, he loves it. Donnie w e’re still in high school, right ? W ho’s the cool guy who broke the hall ball. 1 was supposed to use that for a stats project. Andy met the dol phins and Arnold Palmer this past week. Gobis broke down. No more koshemess. You still got the rope. 2:45 in the afternoon after Budha’s 21st: JU stin:W hat's up dude? Swifty: Are you just getting up. Justin: 1 was supposed to go to a class this morning but, yeah dude. I just got up. Morin figured what the hell. You gotta do what you gotta do. M cDonut becam e the hurrican Peter McNeely, 1 ‘11 wrap you in my coccoon, afterTyson KO’d him this past weekend. Nikolau is hoping that he can get into that rated R movie. Pooz sounds good over seas. Space Mountain. You mess with the best, you lose with rest. Talk to the hand cuz the face d o n ’t care. (OUZO)
FIJI Greetings T ’Birds. Back again for another delightful cornering. Thanks to the pledges for the much needed firewood, the foyer was getting awful chilly. C ongratulations to ShanZ for finally mounting the Italian Stallion this past weekend at M anley’s. Apologies to the emer gency ward for the numerous casualties after the football game. Though hospitalized for the past week, Zeke’s health has improved. Rumor has it that he is meeting with The Guiness Book of W orld’s Records this W ednesday-most STD’s carried by a warm blooded animal. I don’t know. I think that the pledges might be able to make it around the table answering everything right...Ambrosia, Ambrosia, Am brosia OK, L et’s cut to the chase....NOW FOR THE INFA MOUS SW AMMI!!! Swammi Says,”A type of chair. Bob Keeney, and Dopes G irl” “Wicker, Kicker, and Licker” Swammi Says,”Gove, Gallo, and what the pledges will be doing soon enough” “L y in ’,B rian, and C ry in ’” Swammi Says,”A box, a talk show host, and is faithful to his girlfriend (Sure...)” “C oochie, B onaducci, and Ranucci” Swammi Says,’’Where to find Seal, a Liveoul, and Lamoureux” “ His Bed, T-Bird Ted, and one bald head" Swammi Says,’’Bob, Simps, and Assner” “Skinner, the big winner, and not getting any thinner” Swammi Says,’T o b y ’s second cousins, how you cut meat, and at the end o f a w hip” “Mice, by the slice, and NO, NOT AGAIN R ICE!!”
AXA Well guys, w e’re finally back. There was a little too much hanging out this weekend, but over all things went well. We would like to congratulate Blanchette for keeping it in the family. Maybe she can confirm some o f those mmors. G lad to see UConn enjoyed our facili ties and special thanks for handling our rat problem. On a sad note, Jeevan now needs to buy textbook in braille. Alright, who let Bruce Lee upstairs? O r was it Charlie Chaplin? Who cares, he sure can kick, but what about that dry wall-destroyer Daly? Next time, try animate objects. Dingley decided to take care o f the fire him self this time. Packard really got into the flow of things this weekend, eh? Thanx, Pag and Skintight P.S. Joe, you’ll have lo move your car to make room for plowing behind the dumpster.
OK© The THRILL of victory and the GROSSness of defeat. T here’s nothing like a good competi
tive basketball game, but our red shirted friends did everything wrong. We can play rough too and we do it better. Bui at least you guys belong to a real fraternity, right? On a lighter note, M artinez’s lifting plan is going well, h e’s just about obtained the perfect p h y siq u e , a lm o st g o o d e n o u g h fo r Jill. PAPANDREA. Pattershwag w o n ’t let a little rash stop him from having a good time even after he pukes from his nose. Pouliot seems to have a nose for the easy women. Congratula tions to the wrestling team for beating Coast Guard once again, sorry we were so polite this time, but w e’re trying to stay on cam pus for a while. This past week Batcha was reintroduced lo his two good friends, Roy and Laskowski, and I think he’s seen enough o f them lo Iasi a while, or at least until the bruises heal. C ui’s C om er— sorry couldn’t quite make out what he was saying this week. - K.T.F.B.-

Z>¥ Okay, m idterm comeback...First off, an apol ogy to all the loyal readers (didn’t know there were so many people who read this dam n thing)...W ell, hats off to Zub and all for pulling o ff a successful LTI followed by a great party, silly hat style... Most comm only heard phrase o f the week, “Jesus Jabba!” and “Ow!” ...speaking o f being black and blue its lime for the ZETE PLAYS OF THE W EEK...4. The A-Teani basketball squad absolutely intim idating TK E into a no show on Thursday...3.

Jeff “Soft Lips” Rosse, Aaron Korthof-ass, Dave “ D on’t call me A bdow ” Thom p
Spring Rush! It’s the sam e as fall rush only shorter and with more snowballs. For the per spective rushies that means you need to come down to the house more often so we can get to know you and you can see what we are about. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to give us a call. Come by for lunch and dinner any time. Now for the top 8 things you do not want to hear at ihree in the morning. #8) Any music from the first deck brown house. #7) A drunken argument about billiards. #6) A drunk call from Basl in Bangkok. #5) W illock playing with Em ie in a new way. #4) A nything in Fratini’s CD rack. #3) That you have been nominated for UMOC. #2) You don’t want to hear about Ken’s premature problem. And the #1 thing you defi nitely don’t want to hear at three in the morning is a girl saying you bare certain similarities to Scurvy. Remember, the “m inute” is coming. Five Apples
son, and Mike “M o” Olivieri, leading ihe b o w l ing squad lo a 22-2 record atop the standings.. .and finally the M ickey’s Ice Player of the W eek, "B ubba” Howitt, The muffin man had an am az ing pin in the WPI wrestling match against USCGA to win the match...This week m ore intramurals and on Sunday Hockey Practice N um ber II... Helpful hint for those o f you who haven't figured out college yet: Teacher says:” In the last few minutes o f the class I would like to quickly go over this example.” Translation: “ I’m going to keep you here for the next tw enty m inutes explaining something I will teach com pletely tom orrow .”... Amazing things seen this week: The pledges working on a pledge project...The dow nstairs freezer still filled with microwave food after a week (You really can tell that Karl is on C o-op and Jimm y is sick).. Jimmy sitting on the couch and not moving for hours at a time (well som e things never change)...M e driving... W atch the road cause the end o f my reign o f writing is com ing...Signing Off-Jabba

0X Let’s start this one out with a thanks to the 9596 pledge class...what a presentation. Hey, who ordered Tech....wait a minute, what the christ is this? I also gotta pat ThaLouza on the back for a unique approach to im proving the quality of w eekend partygoers attending our house of permiscuity. And one more thing...what hap pened to the junior/sophom ore gang wars like last year. G et your acts together boys., .remember the Alamo. Oh, you thought EClair was sup posed to be the victim? W hat’s wrong with mrs litos anyw ay? Or is it m anny’s fault that she doesn’t know when not to be here? So dupont, tomorrow night could spell your doom eh? I know that all your closest friends will pull together and try to...convict ya! Well I think that we finally fixed the broken toilet and got rid of the turds we had flushed earlier. 1 hate it when they don’t stay down. Nice jo b to Joe “the sot” graham for putting the whipees in proper per spective. There are a few names I would add to that list however...maybe I’ll put my own ver sion on the web. Speaking o f the web, check out the house page if you have never looked at it. If there’s ever a chance that I will miss another article, you can always go back and read a past articleoveragain for renewed enjoym ent, they’re all there. And that’s about all I have to say about that...here’s body lotion and orange juice in your eye. Peace.
