Renovating Senior House toeventually house graduate studentsis among the restructuring optionsbeing considered by the committee,said Senior Associate Dean forUESA Robert M. Randolph, chairof the committee. Displaced under-graduates from Senior House wouldpossibly be housed at AshdownHouse, currently a graduate dormi-tory on west campus, Randolphsaid.

Another student group, theSenior House/East Campus ActionCommittee, composed of represen-tatives of both dormitories, also metSunday night to approve a mission

statement and organize subcommit-tees, said co-chair Dhaya Lakshmi-narayanan '96, East Campus vicepresident.

Smith has tentatively agreed tomeet with the Senior House govern-ment, the Action Committee, andconcerned students Thursdayevening to discuss the proposed ren-ovations and the future of SeniorHouse.

According to the mission state-ment of the joint committee, thegroup "has organized itself in orderto allay student concerns regardingthe future status of East Campus andSenior House."

The committee will be primarilyconcerned with exploring indepen-dent options, collecting and verify-ing information, allaying studentconcerns, and ensuring that studentshave been "substantially and suffi-ciently included in the process ofplanning and decision-making,"according to the mission statement.

The subcommittees will work onorganizing correspondence, contact-ing alumni, and arranging meetingswith administrators in various Insti-tute offices, Lakshminarayanan said.

Representation importantThe Committee on Student Life

discussed the idea of student repre-sentation on the administration plan-ning committee. Several residentsand former residents of East Cam-pus and Senior House were also pre-sent at the CSL meeting.

John S. Hollywood '96, chair ofthe committee, said that studentsneed to have input on the planningcommittee, both for the short-termissues concerning the dormitoriesand for longer-term planning pro-jects.

In a meeting last week, Ran-dolph indicated to UA President

The Undergraduate AssociationCommittee on Student Life metSunday evening to organize aresponse to administration proposalsto renovate East Campus and SeniorHouse and move their residents towest campus dormitories.

Arthur C. Smith, dean for under-graduate education and studentaffairs, directed the high-levelStrategic Housing Planning Com-mittee in September to "look veryseriously at the idea of having allundergraduates live on west cam-pus," Smith said. Committee, Page 13

The MIT library computer sys-tem will be replaced next summerby a new system designed by GEACcomputers of Newtonville, Mass.,according to Greg Anderson, associ-ate director for systems and plan-ning. The cost of the Advance Sys-temwill likely be less than$500,000, he said.

The complete client system willbe fully functioning by the summerof 1996, Anderson said.

The GEAC system was chosenby Information Systems and theLibraries last month after NOTISSystems Inc. discontinued produc-tion of the groups' first-cihoice sys-tem, Anderson said.

The new system will allow theLibraries to automate processes thatwere completed manually before,Anderson said. "The Libraries willbe able to automate their serialsmanagement process, which willprovide current and accurate infor-mation on journal holdings," hesaid.

MIT has entered into a co-devel-opment agreement with GEAC,Anderson said. According to theagreement, MIT will provide inputinto the system design and develop-ment in the following areas: archi-tecture, network integration, securi-ty, administration, public access,Internet resources, World WideWeb availability, technical worksta-tions, visual images, and archives,he said.

With U.S. support that amountsto a yearly $1,000 per capita, thehighest amount received by any for-eign country from the United States,Israel has essentially become "localcops on the beat" in control of theMiddle East, Chomsky said.

But this support of Israel hasbeen at the expense of Palestinians,Chomsky said. "If you don't per-form any services to the powerful,your human rights are zero," Chom-sky said. "Palestinians have nega-tive rights."

Shahak described the situation ofPalestinians as a "manifestation ofapartheid in the territories" of Israel.Although Palestinians account for70 percent of Israeli citizens, theyare regularly dealt with unjustly andare denied resources such as landand water, Shahak said.

Palestinians are also subject to

unfair legal treatment, Shahak said.Israeli Jews who have killed orwounded Palestinians are-freed, butPalestinians are punished - oftentortured - for committing the sameacts against Jews, he said.

"We are doing to Palestinians ...what Christians ... have done to[Jews]," Shahak continued, tracingthe history of the oppression of Jews

Institute Professor Noam A.Chomsky and scholar Israel Shahakaddressed the issues of Jewish fun-damentalism in the domestic andforeign policy of Israel in a forumlast Thursday.

Shahak is the author of JewishHistory, Jewish Religion: TheWeight of 3,000 Years.

Chomsky began the event with adiscussion of what he called the"overwhelming" degree of U.S.influence in the Middle East, whichis used "as a lever for world con-trol." The United States and Eng-land have financed Middle East dic-tators who function as "an array of

With bits and pieces of his client's life story emerging, the attor-ney for 23-year-old Susan Smith confirmed Monday that she toldauthorities she was planning to kill herself as well as her children theevening she stepped out of her car and sent them, strapped in theirsafety seats, to die at the bottom of a remote fishing lake.

Lawyer David Bruck also said that one of the defenses he is con-sidering is an insanity plea. But he said it is one of many optionsunder consideration.

Bruck confirmed the accuracy of portions Smith's written confes-sion, first reported Sunday by Cable News Network, in which sherecounted her suicide plan.

"I wanted to end my life so bad and was in my car, ready to godown that ramp into the water and I did go part way, but I stopped,"Smith said in her confession. "I went again and I stopped. Then I gotout of the car a nervous wreck.

President Clinton Monday madea final push for the Democraticvotes that are critical not only tomaintaining his party's majority inCongress but also to shaping hispolitical future.

With Democratic control of theSenate, and possibly the House,hanging in the balance, Clintonteamed up with first lady HillaryRodham Clinton for his eighthstraight day of campaigning in whathe described as "an amazing elec-tion."

A1Ir435 House seats and 35 Sen-ate seats are at stake Tuesday inwhat will be the voters' first assess-ment of the first two years of theClinton presidency as well as theentire 103rd Congress. There arealso 36 governors' races at stake.

Democrats have a 56 to 44majority in the Senate, meaningRepublicans need to pick up a net ofseven seats to gain control for thefirst time since 1986. Republicanswill need to win a net of 40 seats tocapture control of the House for thefirst time since 1954.

A batch of weekend polls thatmeasured the electorate's predilec-tion to vote Republican or Democratal! held good news for Republicans- most finding for the first timesince the 1950s, more Americansprefer Republicans to Democratsthis election.

The Senate could turn on a hand-ful of races that appeared too closeto call, including contestsin Penn-sylvania, Virginia, Tennessee,where Democratic incumbents arefighting for their lives, and inMichigan and Minnesota, whereincumbents are retiring.

The reach of software giant Microsoft Corp. has so vexed some inthe computer industry that a major trade association is convening twomeetings to talk about it.

Monday, the Arlington, Va.-based Information Technology Asso-ciation of America said that it was asking companies throughout theindustry to voice their opinions on Microsoft's latest proposed con-quest - Intuit Inc., the leading maker of personal finance software.Microsoft announced on October 13 that it planned to buy Intuit forstock worth $1.5 billion.

"This is a dramatic acquisition by a very elite and powerful com-pany," said Bernard Goldstein, who will chair a special ITAA com-mittee to solicit industry comments on the deal. "We want to under-stand why many firms in the information technology industry areagitated by this proposed transaction."

Emergency Recommendation IssuedOn Plane Involved in Indiana Crash

THE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON

The National Transportation Safety Board Monday night is.-uedan emergency recommendation that the type of plane that crashed innorthern Indiana last week killing all 68 on board be grounded when-ever there are icing conditions, pending a special government review.

The Safety Board, while not prejudging the cause of the crash ofAmerican Eagle Flight 4184, said there is enough concern about theplane's characteristics when operating in icing conditions that imme-diate action is needed.

The plane, a twin-turbo prop ATR72-210, flew for about 35 min-utes in icing conditions while holding for a landing slot at O'HareInternational Airport. The plane experienced a sudden deflection ofthe ailerons - flat pieces of wing that control turns - turned on itsback and plunged into a soybean field.

The Federal Aviation Administration has already issued new flightstandards for the ATR series of airplanes, made by a French-Italianconsortium, most of which fly in the United States. Those standardsrecommend that the auto pilot not be used in icing conditions and thatvarious other anti-icing procedures be strictly adhered to.

The Safety Board, an independent agency that investigates majorairline crashes and makes recommendations, said it agreed with theFAA action but said the recommendation does not go far enough.

Israeli authorities changed whatthey could, grafting electronic gatesonto ancient stone walls and ringingthe perimeter with cameras. Whenthe Tomb of the Patriarchs reopenedhere Monday, eight months after aJewish settler gunned down 29Muslims at prayer, the army hadbuilt it into a fortress.

Yet if the structure stood trans-formed, the attitudes of its claimantshad also hardened. In a cold, drivingrain, Jews and Muslims came tovent their rage at sharing the sitewhere Abraham and his progeny-regarded as patriarchs in both reli-gions - were laid to rest.

For Monday, at least, the newarrangements held. Zealous Jewstried to disrupt Muslim prayers, butall they could do was shout andpound on the tall steel doors erectedto divide the antagonists. Islamicmilitants threatened to stage anattack, but none took place.

Every entrant to the tomb passedthrough two metal detectors and aphalanx of police. Only 300 of eachfaith could go in at a time, and Jewsand Muslims were prevented frommingling. Embarrassed at their ghet-to connotations, the army hastilyremoved new signs reading "Pas-sage for Jews" and "Passage forMuslims," but separate entrancesand prayer halls remained.

Outside the tomb, Hebronremains a focal point for strugglebetween Jews and Palestinians - a

Deputy Defense MinisterMordechai Gur expressed the hopethat "after the first emotional reac-tion, logic will prevail."

Hebron, however, has been amagnet for extremists, a strongholdof both the banned Israeli nationalistgroup Kach and the Islamic Resis-tance Movement, Hamas. Theirmutual rejection is sometimesexpressed in strikingly similar lan-guage.

From his office at the IslamicTrust, Sallah Natscheh pored over ablue-and-yellow schematic diagramof the tomb. Every part from whichMuslims are excluded, he said, isanathema. "All parts of the mosqueare important to Muslims," he said,"and we will never, ever forgive anyof it."

The Jews, he said, "have no rela-tion with Abraham. There is no rela-tion of Abraham to Judaism."

Not far away, at the JewishHebron Settlers Gift Shop, settlerDani Hizme pulled out a similarschematic diagram, this one inorange and black. It showed all theplaces Jews cannot go in the newarrangement.

"The Arabs," he said, theydon't know exactly the connectionbetween Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.They don't have a real connection."

"You can't command all thepeople to behave in a non-violentway," Mustafa Abdel-Nabi Natshe,the PLO-appointed mayor ofHebron, said in an interview."Maybe one expresses his point ofview in a political way. Others, theybenave violently. We are afraid theArabs or the Jews will commit anew massacre."

The talk of killing was not farbeneath the surface.

Ephraim Rosenstcin, a Jewishsettler from Kiryat Arba, praised theman who committed last February'smassacre. Baruch Goldstein, theAmerican-born physician whobrought his assault rifle to the tomband fired into the mass of kneelingMuslim worshipers, was actuallypreventing a "massacre of theJews," Rosenstein said.

"In 100 years they will say(Prime Minister Yitzhak) Rabin and(Foreign Minister Shin-ion) Pereswere small players in the era ofGoldstein," Rosenstein said. Leav-ing the tomb, he collected a .45 cal-iber pistol from soldiers who nowrequire entering Jewish worshipersto check their guns.

A high pressure area has moved in over us now. Asits center passes over, the source of winds will shift from the north tothe west bringing a welcome warming of temperatures.

U.S. Ready to Help N. KoreaDevelop Economic Ties

LOSANGELES TIMES

ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, ALASKA

Extending a new olive branch to North Korea, the Clinton adminis-tration indicated Monday that it is prepared to support the developmentof economic ties between the Pyongyang regime and the rest of Asia.

Secretary of State Warren Christopher gave U.S. backing to a newinitiative by South Korean President Kim Young Sam, who said in aspeech Monday that he would lift the ban on South Korean businesscontacts with North Korea. The South Korean president also said hewould give the green light for North Korea to develop economic tieswith the rest of Asia.

"As a long-term goal, it is entirely appropriate" Christopher toldreporters aboard his plane on the first leg of an 1 -dav trip to Asia.He said the United States hopes to bring North Korea "into the com-pany of civilized nations and to show them the opportunities that gowith better relations."

Suggesting that North Korea may eventually get membership inregion-wide organizations marks a new step for the Clinton adminis-tration, which had agreed in the past only to exchange diplomatic liai-son offices with the Pyongyang regime. North Korea is not now amember of any of the East Asian regional organizations.

Christopher acknowledged Monday that the United States hasmany outstanding problems with North Korea, including thsoe relat-ed to terrorism and weapons proliferation.

The U.S. Supreme Court let stand Monday an emotion-chargedIllinois decision to remove a 3 1/2-year-old boy from the home of hisadoptive parents and award custody to his biological father. The deci-sion immediately set off a new round of legal battles over a state lawthat was enacted specifically to keep the child with the adoptive par-ents.

The high court ruling, made without comment, effectivelyaffirmed a unanimous decision by the Illinois Supreme Court in Junein what has becolne known as the "Baby Richard" case. The Illinoisjustices, overturning lower court findings, ruled that the biologicalfather, Otakar Kirchner, had not surrendered his parental rights andnullified the 1991 adoption of the boy.

The case, one of several recent high profile disputes between bio-logical and adoptive parents, caused an uproar here and attractednational attention. It also led to the hurried enactment by the IllinoisGeneral Assembly of a law requiring a court hearing on the child's"best interest" to determine if the child should be returned to the bio-logical parents, which was the case under previous law, or remain inthe custody of the couple who sought adoption. The law appearedMonday to represent the adoptive parents' last hope of retaining cus-tody of the boy, who was turned over to them by the biological motherwhen he was four days old. But.even if the adoptive parents, who havebeen identified only as "John and Jane Doe," are eventually awardedcustody, Monday's Suprellme Court decision means they could neverlegally adopt the child without the biological father's consent.

Id Be Re-electedgrams to get kids off the streets. To this Romney has onlyargued for more family values, something over which he wouldhave little control as a senator.

The contrast between Kennedy and Romney is most clearon foreign policy issues. Kennedy supports the approach usedby Bush and Clinton; in other words, a multilateral approachdesigned to foster global cooperation to bring stability and orderto the world scene. Romney has announced that he would notsupport such a policy, and would scale back U.S. involvementin world affairs to the point where we would only act when U.S.lives, territory, or the economy were at stake.

On all of these issues - welfare, health care, the budget,and foreign policy -- Sen. Kennedy has staked out the morerealistic and reasonable turf. Job training, moderate health carereform, real deficit-cutting, and multilateral diplomacy areresponsible positions. Romney's are not.

Massachusetts voters should also understand-that no matterwho they vote for, they will elect a candidate who does morethan just state positions on issues. Most bills in the Senate arecompromises that represent concessions on the part of manyindividuals. Many Republicans in Congress have rejected com-promise measures and taken the road of filibuster and gridlock.Those senators so engaged feel that their constituents' interestsare best served by their abstention from the process of! legisla-tion.

If re-elected senator, Ted Kennedy will continue to be atthe heart of the legislative process, forming and shaping legisla-tion to meet his constituent's concerns.

On this basis and on the issues, we feel that Massachusettsvoters should cast their ballots for Sen. Edward M. Kennedytoday.

Aenneay snouThis year marks Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's 32nd year in

the U.S. Senate and his sixth bid for re-election. Kennedy'sopponent, venture capitalist Mitt Romney, has challengedKennedy for his seat on the grounds that, as a moderate Repub-lican, he can better represent the interests of the Massachusetts

electorate. However, given theK/S'7tjTYi I stands the two candidates haveEditoralf ! ( taken on the defining issues of this

year's campaign. we feel that voters should return Kennedy tothe Senate.

On the issue of welfare reform, both Romney and Kennedybelieve that current welfare recipients would be better off work-ing than on welfare. Romney's plan calls for a tax credit thatalready exists and a time limit on welfare benefits. WhileKennedy also supports "workfar,.." he emphasizes that timelimits without job training and child care programs will doomcurrent recipients to failure.

On the economy, Romney has argued that as a businessmanhe knows how to create jobs. Yet his idea of cutting taxes andbalancing the budget has no specifics, and bears some similarityto the "voodoo economics" of Ronald Reagan 14 years ago.Kennedy has consistently supported President Clinton's bud-gets. which through their sharp spending cuts and tax hikes forthe wealthy have cut the deficit even more than the Presidenthimself expected.

Other issues such as health care reform, crime, and foreignpolicy have surfaced briefly. On health care reform Kennedyhas moved to the right. and now pushes the "managed competi-tion" plan favored by Clinton. Romney has argued that littlereform is needed. On crime Kennedy and Romney have com-peted to stake out a "tougher" stance, but Kennedy has alsoemphasized the need to improve education and support pro-

OIV.-'O V S74.rVFBut more important than his fiscal reform efforts, Weld has

worked to be bipartisan in his dealings with the legislature,which has been and will undoubtedly continue to be run by theDemocrats. As governor, Weld has cooperated with Democraticlegislators in crafting an economic reform bill in 1993 thatallowed for an investment tax credit and a much-needed fundfor businesses dealing in emerging technologies.

In 1992. Weld also supported the legislature's efforts tofinally reform the state's out-dated judicial system and succeed-ed in passing a substantial court reform bill. Weld worked \withlegislators in crafting his own welfare reform proposal, whichnarrowly avoided passage this year, and may be passed later ina mildly altered form.

Ironically, Weld even worked with Rep. Mark Rooseveltwhen the latter was crafting and pushing his own education

William Weld. a moderate Republican and one-term gover-nor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is currently seek-ing to retain his office. His challenger, Mark Roosevelt, is a rep-resentative in the General Court of the Commonwealth. While

Roosevelt has an impressive leg-di,/ i i'f}/y^islative record for a man of his age,Editorial we feel that Weld's largely suc-

cessful record as governor merits his re-election.When Weld moved into Dukakis' old Statehouse office in

1990, he inherited a state government whose poor fiscal man-agement had earned it one of the poorest bond ratings in thenation. In his first two years in office. Weld performed a second"Massachusetts miracle" in spite of hard economic times. Inorder to affect this change, Weld slashed state government andstkimned oif money from special state funds. While hisunorthodox tactics may have ruffled feathers around the state,the results in terms of state solvency have been positive.

Ashdown House.Much has been said about opposition to

this possible plan on the part of undergraduateresidents of East Campus, but one point ofview which seems not to have yet beenexpressed is that of the graduate studentsaffected by this plan.

As a resident of Ashdown House, I, likemany others who live there, do not like theidea of Ashdown being converted to an under-graduate dormitory. It may seem that Ash-down is not suited for graduate housing, orthat graduate students would prefer to live in adifferent kind of residence, but in fact thereare many graduate students who choose tolive in Ashdown because of the sense of com-munity which can be found there, and whichis unique to this one dormitory.

The Ashdown community exists partlybecause of the housing style. Because peopleshare kitchens and common living areas, thereare many opportunities to get to know fellowresidents. There is also an active student lead-ership in the dormitory, which organizesmany activities for residents. In addition, thereare events organized by housemaster VernonIngram and his wife which add to the feelingof community. This vibrant community couldbe lost forever if the plan to move undergrad-uates into Ashdown goes through.

Not only does Ashdown have a strongcommunity, it also has a feeling of history andtradition associated with it. Ashdown House,MIT's first graduate dormitory, has servedthat function since the building was purchasedby MIT in 1938.

Moving undergraduate residents to Ash-down House would not only affect the lives ofthose undergraduates, it would also affect themany .graduate students who currently live inAshdown, as well as those who will hopefullylive there in the future. This plan has thepotential to destroy a community which hasan important impact on the experiences ofmany MIT graduate students.

Jennifer A. Sullivan G

GSC Feels AshdownPlans DeserveGraduate Input

We were quite concerned to read the arti-cles and editorial on the housing situation inThe Tech ["Deans Consider Moving AllUndergrads to West Dorms," and "HousingPlan Deserves Student Input," Nov. i ], as theyreflect a larger problem in MIT's handling ofthe long-term housing situation. There appearsto be a lack of concern for the impact of anyhousing changes on graduate student life atMIT.

As The Tech coverage mentioned, under-graduates are upset because of the traditionthat would be lost if the residents of EastCampus and Senior House were moved towest campus. Yet it was never mentioned thatthe building they would move into, AshdownHouse, is the oldest graduate housing facilityon campus. When the graduate students arerelocated to points unknown, there too will bea loss of tradition.

Ashdown House has a culture which is

currently not replicated in any other place oncampus. It is the only housing option thatoffers dormitory-style living to graduate stu-dents at MIT. In addition, it is the only gradu-ate housing facility that is centrally located oncampus. Although it is believed that any dis-placed graduate students will be relocatedwithin 2 miles of campus, this does not guar-antee that the new residence will be nearly asconvenient as Ashdown. Both the dormitory-style living and location represent housingfeatures which are very important to the cur-rent and alumni graduate students who havecalled Ashdown home.

As is so often the case, we acknowledgethat any change involves some degree of painand loss. However, we also recognize thatsometimes change, albeit inconvenient, is nec-essary for the greater common good. Aftercareful consideration, one might conclude thatAshdown House should be transformed intoan undergraduate dormitory. Graduate stu-dents could potentially benefit from a newfacility. If a change of location is deemedbest, it is important that the attractive featuresof Ashdown are incorporated into whateverfacilities are built or renovated.

Furthermore, we believe that it is impor-tant that the needs and views of graduate stu-dents be included in this decision-makingprocess, and that they are not treated as sec-ond or third order effects.

In the very near future, the Graduate Stu-dent Council will be distributing a survey toall graduate students living on campus todetermine the housing needs of graduate stu-dents. We strongly encourage students torespond to the survey, and also that the deci-

sion-makers in the administration incorporatethe results into the process.

East Side StudentCommittee Should Work

With AshdownOne thing not discussed in the two articles

in The Tech ["Deans Consider Moving AllUndergrads To West Dorms," Nov. I, "EC,Senior House Residents Meet to DiscussHousing," Nov. 4] was how the graduate stu-dents of Ashdown House feel about turningAshdown into an undergraduate dormitory(either partially or completely).

Most residents of Ashdown that I havetalked to are against the idea because it wouldbegin the process of disrupting a graduatecommunity that has existed for over 75 years.In comparison to Tang and Edgerton House,Ashdown is the most social graduate dorm.Many residents like living there because ofthis social atmosphere and would not like tosee this aspect of the dorm destroyed. Ash-down residents urge the committee that ismaking these decisions to discuss their pro-posals with Ashdown residents before makingany recommendations.

ate the survivability of their vehiclesin emergency situations andimprove safety in their products.

Another highlight was the alter-native fuel vehicles being developedat Ford's Scientific Research Labo-ratory. Engineer Beth Ardisanaintroduced us to the Ecostar, whichis a zero emission electric car. Thissmall, front wheel drive deliveryvehicle is not available to the aver-age consumer. However, it is cur-rently being tested internally byFord and by fleet customers.

Ford's Flexible Fuel Vehicles,also under development at the labo-ratory, can run on different compo-sitions of gasoline and ethanol ormethanol. At the heart of these carsare sensors that detect the percent-age of ethanol or methanol in thefuel and adjust the fuel flow andspark timing accordingly. The nat-ural gas vehicles were also availablefor test drives, but I was dismayedby the lack of power.

The weekend was packed withother events, including a financingand leasing seminar, a recyclabilitypresentation, a dummy-lab tour, anda pleasant trip to downtown Detroit.

Two weeks ago, I participated ina program for college journalistssponsored by the Ford Motor Com-

aroundthe United States and Canada spenta weekend at the Ford plant and testtrack in Dearborn, Mich.

The event was a chance for stu-dents to see how cars are designedand built, and for Ford to obtain stu-dent input in their design and mar-keting efforts.

According to the program co-chair Bill Collins, the program wasa "step in the process of bringingFord before young people and prov-ing our interest in their ideas andconcerns." It was also an opportuni-ty for the students to see new Fordproducts and get an idea of the com-pany's culture.

Ford paid for all of our expenses,including hotel and airfare, for atotal cost of about $100,000.

Members of the Ford NationalYouth Council. a group of 11 col-lege students who informally advisethe company, also participated inthe program.

"90210" star makes appearanceWe first toured the historic Dear-

born Assembly Plant, opened byHenry Ford himself in 1918. At theplant, we watched assembly work-ers construct one of the 841 Mus-tangs that roll off the assembly fineeach day.

We traveled into the future at theDesign Center Showroom whereseveral concept cars were on dis-play. Several designs caught myeye, including the Profile sports car,the Power Stroke truck, and theRanger Sea Splash, a pickup spe-cially made for the canoeing enthu-siasts.

Several of these vehicles are ondisplay at the New England Interna-tional Auto Show at the BaysideExposition Center this week.

We also had the opportunity totest drive several new cars, includ-ing the new Mercury Mystique, thenew Mustang, and my personalfavorite, the Taurus S-10H.

At the track, amateur race driverand "Beverly Hills 90210" starJason Priestley and professional dri-ver Bob Bondurant guided usthrough an extensive course on safedriving techniques.

At the Dearborn ProvingGrounds, we watched a Tauruscrash into a fixed barrier at animpact speed of 30 miles per hour.Although the vehicle seemed to bemoving very slowly, it was enoughto completely destroy the car's frontend. Ford uses these tests to evalu-

By Stream S. WangITAFF REPORTER

cles, she said.Ian S. Eslick G, a recent bicycle

theft victim, described his situation:"There I was, taking a quick dip intoLaVerdes and forgetting ... to lockmy bicycle up ... Poof! I come backand it's gone." Eslick's bicycle, aShogun Prairie Breaker II, was notregistered with the Campus Police.

Esther Kim '96 had her bicyclestolen from the Student Center bicy-cle rack about three weeks ago. "Iwas only gone for two hours, andsomeone made off with my lockedbicycle," she said.

Kim had an Iron Horse AT50mountain bicycle which was regis-tered with the Campus Police.

In order to prevent bicycle theftsand aid in recovery of stolen bicy-

cles, Chief of Campus Police AnneP. Glavin recommended that stu-dents register their bicycles, usegood locks, and report suspiciousactivity to the police.

Registering Bikes Is Important"The best thing students can do

to deter theft is to register bicycleswith the Campus Police," Glavinsaid. The police keep a record ofbicycles and their serial numbers,which help locate the owner if thebicycle is found, she said.

People can register at CampusPolice headquarters between 8:30a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday throughFriday, Glavin said.

"Another thing the students cando is to use good quality locks, not

cables or chains," Glavin said."We recommend the [outdoor]

bicycle compound at Building 13,which is better than most areas oncampus," Glavin said. The com-pound is accessible using a card keywhich can be purchased for $5 fromthe Campus Police parking and traf-fic division.

Vossmer suggested using a highsecurity U-lock fitted with a securitycollar or a plumber's T. Studentswith Kryptonite U-locks can get afree collar from the Campus Police,she said.

Vossmer advised securing both awheel and the frame to a stationaryobject, with the lock placed as closeto the ground as possible.

Since Oct. 28, Campus Police

have increased the number of uni-formed and plain clothes patrols,Vossmer said. "We are also workingwith other college and local policedepartments to identify suspects,"she said.

"We know from past arrests wehave made, and from comparingnotes with other university policedepartments in the area that most ofthe thieves are not students butcareer criminals," Glavin said. "Ourofficers have been informed to keepan eye out for [these] individuals."

Institute regulations prohibit thesecuring of a bicycle to a stairhandrail or in a hallway, Vossmersaid. There is a fine of $25 to $50 ifthe bicycle is left for more than 24hours.

In response to the recent increaseiof on-campus bicycle thefts, theiCampus Police Crime PreventionUnit released a bulletin of theft-pre-vention suggestions last week.

Thirty-nine bicycles were report-ed stolen in September, according tothe bulletin written by SergeantCheryl Vossmer. From Oct. 1-26,there were another 18 reports ofstolen bicycles and four reports ofstolen parts, the bulletin said.

Most of the thefts occurred onThursdays and Sundays, Vossmersaid in the bulletin. The value of thestolen bicycles ranged from $40 to$1,200 and included various stylesfrom three-speeds to mountain bicy-

Committee, from Page 1 At the conclusion of the discus-sion, Hollywood said he would askthe UA Executive Committee toapprove a motion asking for twoundergraduate representatives onthe planning committee.

Grad students also concernedKermode and two other GSC

officers expressed concern over thehousing proposal's impact on gradu-ate students in a letter to The Tech["GSC Feels Ashdown Plans

Deserve Graduate Input", page 5]."There appears to be a lack of

concern for the impact of any hous-ing changes on graduate student lifeat MIT," wrote Kermode, GSC Sec-retary Susan L. Ipri G, and co-chairof the GSC Housing and Comrnuni-ty Affairs Committee Joseph P.Bambenek G.

Ashdown is important to gradu-ate students because "it is the onlyhousing option that offers dormito-ry-style living to graduate students

at MIT," the three wrote. "In addi-tion, it is the only graduate housingfacility that is centrally located oncampus."

The GSC officers called forincluding "the needs and views ofgraduate students" in the decision-making process, and that graduatestudents not be treated "as second orthird order effects."

The GSC will be distributing ahousing survey to all graduate stu-dents living on-campus within the

next few weeks, Kermode said. Thesurvey is designed to find out whatgraduate students like about hous-ing, he said.

The survey will focus on hous-ing in general, rather than the cur-rent proposals, Kermode said. Thequestions will be about the particu-lar features studentsrmode said. Thesurvey will help the GSC get anidea of graduate students' opinions,which they will then bring to theadministration, he said.

Vijay P. Sankaran '95 that he didnot want student input until after theplanning stages were through,Sankaran said.

However, the planning commit-tee should involve students in boththe planning and decision makingprocesses, said Jennifer A. Pinson'98, a CSL member. "If we don'thave a seat on the committee, itwon't come to anything," she said.

Roger G. Kermode G, presidentof the Graduate Student Council,said that having students present atevery meeting of the planning com-mittee might be impractical for thestudents and the committee. Ker-mode suggested asking the commit-tee for progress reports or minutesfiom each meeting as another wayof keeping informed.

"The problem with that is wewant to be involved in the decisionmaking process, not be told thedecision once it is made," saidTheresa V. luzzolino G, a formerEast Campus resident.

Students deserve representationon the committee because the issuesbeing considered by the committeehave a serious impact on studentlife, said Jason W. Solinsky '95,Senior House representative to theUA Council.

In reply to the audience's hostili-ty, Shahak said that Jews who per-petuate a "denial of commonhumanity" are "Jewish Nazis."

Another audience member angri-ly responded to Shahak, "You werelucky you survived [the Holocaust],but 6 million Jews didn't."

Several others said that Shahak'suse of the phrase "Jewish Nazis"was disrespectful to the memory ofthe Holocaust. Shahak maintainedthat "Jews can become Nazis."

In response to a call, CampusPolice asked one heckler to leavebecause he "was disrupting theevent," according to Campus PoliceLieutenant David A. Carlson. Theperson ejected from the event wasnot affiliated with MIT, Carlsonsaid.

Audience members had theopportunity to voice their questionsand comments after Chomsky andShahak spoke. Some accusedChomsky and Shahak of exaggerat-ing and not speaking the truth. Oneaudience member called Chomsky aliar.

Another accused Chomsky ofpromoting "a cesspool of misinfor-mation." Echoing the words ofIsraeli Prime Minister YitzhakRabin about Baruch Goldstein, theJew who last February murdered 29Palestinians in a mosque in Israel,the audience member said to Chom-sky, "We spit you out with every bitof power we have."

Chomsky responded, "The feel-ing is mutual."

Library, from Page I The conversion to the new sys-tem must be conducted carefullysince the information is of criticalimportance to the Institute, Ander-son said.

The GEAC system will fit inwell with the computing environ-ment at MIT because it is built onindustry standards such as Unix andTCP/IP, Anderson said.

The library database containsabout 670,000 cataloging recordsthat should be easy to convert sincethey follow a national pattern,Anderson said. Records such aslibrary patron data, acquisition data,and fund accounting data will bemore difficult to convert, Andersonsaid

This project is a component ofthe Distributed Library Initiativesponsored by the Libraries and IS,Anderson said. "This programinvolves many projects which arefocused on providing electronicinformation to the MIT communi-ty," Anderson said.

"We believe that this collabora-tion with a leader in the libraryautomation industry will benefit allconcerned," Anderson said.

The system will enable studentsto search for information at MITlibraries and remote locations usingthe Internet, Anderson said. "Thenew system will enable students tosearch, store, and manipulate libraryinformation in a personalized man-ner," he said.

"Our hope is that the system willbe user-friendly for everyone,"Anderson said. To achieve this goal;the Libraries reference staff sentcomments and suggestions toGEAC, he said.

The current system is based oncomputer designs from the 1970s,Anderson said. A new system isnecessary because the current sys-tem is vulnerable to failures, under-powered for modern informationrequirements, and unable to be net-worked easily, he said.

MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEINDirected by Kenneth Branagh.Written by Steph Lady and Frank Darabont.Starring Robert DeNiro, KennelhBranagh, Tomn Hulce. Helena BonhamCarter, Aidan Quinn, lan Holhnm,and John Cleese.Loews Clheri.

By Carrie Perlman

the Swiss Alps used as a backdrop for manyother scenes, the cinematography is fantastic.The barely visible glaciers of the Arctic andthe raw wintertime of the Alps send shiversdown the spine. And the rest of the movie ishardly less excessive than the scenery. Theacting is melodramatic and when a characterdies everyone must be drenched in gory poolsof blood.

While training to become a doctor,Frankenstein (Branagh) is obsessed by thepossibilities of immortality due to the death ofhis mother during his childhood. Continuingthe work of the eccentric Doctor Waldman(John Cleese), Frankenstein gathers his "rawmaterials" from the city morgue, stitches themtogether, and zaps the finished body with elec-tricity until his creature comes to life. Branaghis convincing in the role of this lunatic wholater lives to regret and to pay for what he hascreated.

Robert DeNiro is unrecognizable as the,nameless creature, whose character has a lotof depth for a monster. The creature feels

betrayed by Frankenstein, who brought him tolife and then abandoned him. He is reasonablein his plea for a companion, but whenFrankenstein refuses him his choice, he iswilling to take his revenge. Frankenstein hassucceeded beyond his desires in the creationof a rational, emotional, and vengeful being.

Helena Bonham Carter, as Frankenstein'sadopted sister Elizabeth, and Tom Hulce, asHenry, play the characters who keep Franken-stein in touch with reality. Hulce is enjoyableas Frankenstein's bumbling buddy from med-ical school. Carter, whose character isFrankenstein's love interest, is fine at the startbut by the end becomes the weak link in thechain, making what is intended to be a climac-tic and dramatic scene rather silly.

In all, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein devi-ates from the traditional Hollywood film ver-sions of the story with a striking visual styleand powerful lead performances, but is weak-ened by an eagerness to revel in melodramaand Victorian-era excess. The film is certainlynot Branagh's best work, but the monsterstory remains a good one.

n 1816 Mary Shelley and Percy ByssheShelley spent their summer in Geneva asthe neighbors of Lord Byron. It was upon asuggestion from Lord Byron that each of

them write a monster story that Mary Shelleywas inspired to create the horrific character ofDoctor Victor Frankenstein.

Kenneth Branagh has remained fairly closeto the original story in the newest film versionof this tale of science-gone-bad. Branagh hascreated a film which is visually chilling, butnot as psychologically chilling as it shouldhave been. With an opening scene set in thefar northern reaches of the Arctic Circle, and Director Kenneth Branagh

On the homefront, the excitementis tangible. "This kind of internationalrecognition is very gratifying", PresidentVest was quoted as saying. Somefaculty members, however, havecomplained of feeling left out."We'll get a similar ad from HRHQueen Elizabeth II soon", Vest assuredthem.

In the third game, the Engineersbuilt up a 10-0 lead, with the helpof some offensive errors by Babson.With a comfortable lead, head coachCindy Gregory called a number ofsubstitutions to have bench playersinvolved in the match.

The new combinations of playersaffected the team and its ability towork together, as it struggled a littleto win the following points. As aresult, Babson cut the deficit tocome as close as 13-9.

Just as Babson threatened tocatch up quickly, MIT regained con-trol after a play where Dozonojumped up seeming ready to attempta spike, but then pushed the ballbarely out of reach of the defenders.MIT received a sideout, and tookadvantage of it to win two straightpoints, the game, and the match,15-6, 15-4, 15-9.

Alexander led the offensive sta-tistics with nine kills out of 21attempts. The next best effort camefrom Pareen Dhalla '95, whorecorded five kills out of 28attempts, followed by Whitney Pine'98 and Colleen Johnson CT, whoboth had three. Dozono. the setter.provided 22 assists.

On the defensive side, Johnsonled in digs with eight, followed byDhalla, with seven, Chrissy Jones'95, with six. Alexander led theteam in blocks, with five.

The team's serving and offensewere the crucial factors behind thevictory, said Robin Smith '95.

Upset in semifinalsUnfortunately, the title hopes for

the Engineers were quickly derailedtwo days later, in the next round,when they fell to fifth-seeded SmithCollege, 3-2. Smith was a team theEngineers had beaten twice during

the regular season, but this day, itcaptured the win, 11-15, 15-6,17-15, 7-15, 15-5.

In this game, Dhalla led theoffense, with 19 kills, followed byAlexander, who had I1. Dozonoassisted in 37 of the team's 44 kills.

MIT was busier on defense thanin the first round. Johnson onceagain led in digs, with 21, ahead ofDhalla, who had 16. Alexander ledthe team in blocks, with two soloblocks and three assists, followed byPine, Sturd, Arlene Chang '96, whoall had one of each.

In the finals, Wheaton Collegedefeated Smith for its third consecu-tive NEW-8 championship, 15-9,15-11, 15-9. Wheaton has been aperennial rival of the Engineers.Last year, Wheaton defeated MIT inthe finals of the NEW-8 Tourna-ment, but MIT later avenged theloss in the title match of the EasternCollegiate Athletic ConferenceDivision' III Championships.

The Engineers are ranked num-ber one in both New England and inthe National Collegiate AthleticDiv. Ill Northeast Regional Poll.

Despite the loss in the NEW-8Tournament, the team's consistentlyhigh performance throughout theseason has given it an almost certaininvitation to the NCAA NortheastRegional Championships, which itwill compete in this weekend.

The first round match will takeplace Friday evening at the StateUniversity of New York at StonyBrook, against Eastern ConnecticutState University. The eight regionalchampions will compete for thenational title.

"Our goal is to be top eight inthe country," which will be verylikely if the Engineers capture theregional title, Gregory said.

higher seeded team, the Engineers.MIT faced Babson, a team it defeat-ed 3-1 in the regular season, atDuPont Gymnasium in front of asmall but supportive crowd. TheEngineers clearly proved to be astronger team, winning once again,in three straight games.

In each of the three games, theEngineers took the early lead andnever looked back. MIT scored thefirst five points, and ran up a 13-2score largely due to good servingand many unreturnable kills by theentire lineup.

Control of the ball then wentback and forth for a while, as nei-ther team could win points whileserving. After conceding a fewpoints to Babson, MIT closed outthe first game, 15-6, when KamilahAlexander '96 sent an unreturnablespike down the middle of the Bab-

son half of the court.Alexander was a large contribu-

tor to the early points in the secondgame, delivering two kills and thenserving what the announcer calledan "ace-o-rama" before Babsoncalled time-out. Once again, theEngineers built a big lead, as theyled 7-2 when time-out was called,and then proceeded to increase it.

Babson closed the gap slightly tomake the score 8-4 before MIT wonthe seven points in a row, sparkedby a successful block by DioneSturd '96, followed by two consecu-tive service winners by StaceyDozono '97.

The pressure by the MIT defenseshowed in the end of the game.After a block by Alexander broughtthe score to 14-4, a Babson playernetted a kill attempt to end the sec-ond game, 15-4 to MIT.

The women's volleyball teamconcluded its first of two post-sea-son tournaments Saturday at theNew England Women's Eight Con-ference Tournament. The Engineers,as the top seed, had home courtadvantage for the first round, thenadvanced to play the latter rounds atMount Holyoke College.

MIT defeated Babson College inthe first round, 3-0, but then suf-fered an upset in the semifinals toSmith College. The results gave theteam an overall record of 30-7.Despite the loss, the women havestill qualified for further post-seasonplay.

First round against BabsonThe action commenced Thurs-

day night at the home court of the

ond period.Team captain Erica Hanley '95

led her offensive line with someamazing passes in the remainingperiods. Kathleen Hayashibara G,who started playing goalie just thisyear, played strong from the begin-ning making some amazing saves.U ..w .r.i.f it wa" hard to "top aUPenn recruit who scored five ofthe team's six goals and assisted onthe other.

The team's next game will alsobe at home, on Sunday afternoonagainst Boston University.
