By Monday, the emphasis ofR/O Week had switched from thefraternities to the dormitories. Afew houses were still looking forpledges but the big parties wereover.

Many freshmen were onceagain looking at the dormitories.Some were dropping by for thefirst time, possibly realizing thatthey might not be bid by a frater-nity' which they liked or even thatthey just didn't like the idea offraternity life. Others were look-ing around the dormitories for thesecond or third time, trying to getto know the people better.

In spite of efforts made thisyear to simplify the dorm assign-ment process, many freshmenremained confused by the wholeprocedure. Some tried to get up-perclassmen to help them decidewhether or not to take. anovercrowded room voluntarily, orto give them suggestions on whatdorms to make their second andthird choices.

With their decision finallymade, the freshmen could donothing more until the dorm as-signments were given out onTuesday morning. Meanwhile,the upperclassmen prepared forthe incoming students.

In my dorm, Burton, skits andstrategies were prepared for thenext day when the freshmenwould move into their permanentassignments. A few small get-togethers were held for thosefreshmen who were temporarilyassigned to the dorm.

The dormitory assignmentswere to be distributed at I lamTuesday but by about 10:30 thefreshmen started gathering

By Jordana HollanderAs the room assigment process

began yesterday for the class of'82, 86 percent had found perma-nent housing by either pleding ata fraternity or by being assignedto one of the dormitories.

By noon yesterday 275 men and!l women in the freshman classhad 'pledged fraternities. Thisfigure is by no means finalbecause the frats will have theirbids accepted by freshmen whohave been waiting to see what sortof dorm assignment they receive.' This year's dorm assignmentshave ·resulted in a more even dis-tribution among the dorms thanin the past several years. Bakerwas the only dormitory that wasvery heavily oversubscribed onfirst choice applications, althoughseveral other dorms were slightlyoversubscribed.

Both the men and women's firstchoice applications exceeded thenumber of available spaces atBaker. There were 32 openingsfor the 40 women who applied toBaker, while 113 men applied for43 spaces. This 60 percent over-subcription was by far the higheston campus.

In contrast to :the past fewyears, MacGregor and Burtonwere only barely oversubscribed.117 men applied for the 105 open-ings available in MacGregor,which has usually been up to 100

irnentsYells of joy mingled with mut-tered curses as the freshmen gottheir first choices or were put intoLimbo. Most of the freshmen,content with their assignments,were glad that the process wasover. A few, however, realizedthat it was just the first part of along day. Still to come were ad-visor meetings, floor or entry as-signnments in their new dorms,and finally room assignments.

percent oversubscribed. Burtonhad 104 spaces available andreceived i16 applications fromfreshmen. This resulted in 13 menunable to have their first choicefilled and one opening for awoman which was filled by a stu-dent who had Burton as her thirdchoice.

Senior House and East Campuswere slightly oversubscribed, un-like last year when both dormsreceived only two thirds of thefreshmen they wanted in the firstround. Despite this years success-ful rush, both dorms did nothave enough women applicants tofill all the available spaces untilthe lottery reached the fourthround. At East Campus 129 menapplied for 91 spaces, whileSenior House had 40 men apply-ing for 31 openings.

More wonen wanted to live in asingle sex dormitory than wereable to as 85 freshwomen appliedfor 70 openings in McCormickHall. In past years McCormickhas been almost evenly, sub-scribed, so that this represents asubstantial oversubscription.

The two newest dorms oncampus have been almost evenlysubscribed. New House had onlytwo more first choice applications

around the R/O Center and theSala. As II o'clock approached,the lengthening line began towind up the main stairwell of theStudent- Center. One R/OWorker was yelling "'Look atKresge. Count the bricks. Just goaway until twelve."

Shortly after 11, the R!Oworkers at last started to handout the permanent assigments.

There is the nagging problemof finding money to keep thecorporation alive. The searchis constant. To satisfy its ap-petitie for cash, A.T.&T. raisesin the capital markets an un-canny $1 billion every 90 days.Between 1964, it raked inenough money in thesemarkets to buy up the totalgold reserves of the UnitedStates, Britain, and severalother European nations.

Other things:The Bell System owns a

grand total of 24,000 buildings(and rents space in another1,000). No company ownsmore. They range from glassymodern to brick elderly, fromtiny microwave stations of 500square feet to a new SouthernBell headquarters in Atlantathat is 1.9 million square feetin size.

The Bell System spendsmore on construction than any

' other company ($12.5 billionin 1978), a chunk of the moneygoing for 100 or so newbuildings each year in the ever-expanding the network.

The only dormitory on campusthat has many openings left afterthe first round of assignments isBexley with only 17 freshmenplaced in 45 openings in thatdorm.

At the end of last night's roundof assignments about 150freshmen were not assigned to

any living group. These are saidto be in "limbo," but most ofthem will be assigned over thenext couple of days. The ad-ditional spaces will be appearingas freshmen continue pledgingfraternities and the number of up-perclassmen moving out of thedorms becomes more certain.

Lazar '81 called it, "A place thatpeople can come to and sit downand not talk." And not feel em-barrassed about not talking, headded.

Lazar and Dan Halbert'81 aretwo of the volunteers working inHarbor. The volunteers, whowork shifts in pairs, are usuallyR/O workers, but other up-perclassmen often wander in tosay hello or to take a break fromwhatever it is they're doing.

Halbert remarked that Harboris a place where freshmen won'tfeel rushed, "a place where peoplecan find themselves."

By Michael TavissAmong the hustle and bustle of

rushing, dorm assignments, andR/O week in general, a freshmancan often feel lost and 6ewildered.Therefore, the R/O Committee isrunning a refuge called Harborwhere students can stop by andescape for a little while.

Harbor (known last year asUnrush) is located in Private Din-ing Room #2 on the third floor ofthe Student Center. The room hasseveral chairs, and there arealways a couple of upperclassmenaround and willing to talk. It isalso, as Harbor volunteer Steve

Harbor has only had about 40freshmen visitors so far, but thismay be a good sign. Many of thepeople who come to Harbor "arefeeling unhappy about Rush, oruncomfortable," according toLazar. The scarcity of visits seemsto indicate that most freshnmen aretaking R/O week and rushing instride. On the other hand, Halbertcommented, "Maybe they're feel-ing miserable, not knowing whereto turn."

Freshmen who feel miserable,or who just want to escape 'therush of R/O Week are welcome atHarbor. Its hours are listed in TheDaily Confusion.

part of a two-part article on-hack'.The second part wili appear tomor-row.)

"Hack - n. A trick or prank. Forexample, welding a street car ontothe tracks or getting elected UA Pare fine hacks."

So says this year's copy ofHoToGAMIT. Of course, theseare only two of a wide myriad ofhacks that have been perpetratedthroughout MIT's existence. Itmight be said that hacking is anintegral part of life at MIT. Atleast, that's what freshmen of theclass of '81 were told-last year attheir Freshman Picnic whenseveral upperclassmen strung up abanner on the great domeoverlooking Killian Courtreading "Welcome to Hahvahd-- Hackito Ergo Sum."

While the great dome isgenerally inaccessible, the smalldome has been the butt of manyhacks in past years. One popularrecurring prank, so popular thatit might not even be a hackanymore, is simply taking peopleup to the dome. This is done eachyear by knowing upperclassmenwho take willing. freshmen up fora tour. The campus police havestated many times over the pastseveral years, however, that theydisapprove of this practice.

Not so typical are the hacksthat try to do something to thedome for the entire campus to see.Several banners have spoutedtheir messages to the world over'the years. Favorites, though, arethe hacks which make use of thedome for some greater purposethan as a glorified billboard.These are usually original andwell-planned. An example is thepainting of a face on the dome.This has since made theFreshman Picture-Book each year--under the name George Dome.

A preferred time for domehacks is Hallowe'en, of course.One year, a large jack-o-lanternwas placed on the dome. Lastyear's contribution was the

building and installing of a giantpapier mach6 screw so that it ap-peared to be sticking out of thedome.
