Thirty-five percent of the 1130freshmen voted last Friday, accord-ing to UA statistics. Sanakaran, whoran the elections, was "happy withthe turnout" since the turnouts forthe past few years have been around31 and 32 percent, he said. Overallthe elections went smoothly,Sankaran said.

Running against seven other stu-dents, Jessica J. Lin '98 was electedpresident of the freshmen class lastFriday by the narrow margin of ninevotes.
"I don't think the margin hasever been that close," said Vijay P.Sankaran '95, Undergraduate Asso-ciation president. The races are usu-ally close because the votes get"divided up" under the preferentialvoting system, Sankaran said."Since the race was close we had todouble check our results," he said.

Security on MITnet will be fur-ther safeguarded with an additionaldata encryption service, Costellosaid. Over the summer, MIT issueda new, free version of the popularencryption program PGP (for "pret-ty good privacy"), she said.
"PGP is a high-security crypto-graphic software application whichallows people to exchange files ormessages with both privacy andauthentication," Costello said.
The system currently requires auser to separately encrypt and senda file, Costello said. To remedy this,"MIT hopes to make availablepackages which will provide aseamless integration of PGP withmail systems used on campus," shesaid.

IS has also been working toinstall printers in the undergraduatedormitories as part of a continuingeffort to improve residential accessto computing, Costello said.
Undergraduate dormitories andliving groups were connected to theMIT network as part of the Resnetproject last January. IS more recent-ly added four graduate dormitoriesto the network. MITnet allows usersto access their Athena accounts andthe Internet from computers in theiroffices or residences.
A Tech article last spring["Loopholes Loom Large in MIT-net," April 22] raised questionsabout the security of data sent overthe network. Malicious users coulduse packet sniffing programs tointercept any data sent to or from acomputer over the network, said for-mer DCNS Consultant Michael L.Barrow '93 in an interview lastspring.

The student-run security escort service Safe Walkis suffering from a lack of use, according to James0. Dobbins '96, Safe Walk assistant manager."Without students taking advantage of the service,we may lose our value and then our funding," Dob-bins said.

"Based on what the interest isduring the trial period, we will makea decision on whether to continuethe shuttle through November andbeyond," Sriver said.
Frank LaVerde, the owner of theStar Market and LaVerde's Marketin the Student Center, is sponsoringthe shuttle, Sriver said. LaVerdealso sponsored the shuttle attempt inthe spring, which was terminateddue to a lack of participation, Sriversaid.
"Frank LaVerde is looking for atleast 30 participants a week to callthe program a success," Sriver said."If there is enough interest, he iswilling to continue to sponsor the
shuttle." LaVerde would be spon-soring the shuttle mainly as a com-munity service, Sriver said.
The GSC has been receivingseveral requests to restart the shuttleservice, and the issue has been peti-tioned at various graduate studentdormitories, Sriver said.
"We have every reason tobelieve that the shuttle will be wide-iy used," said GSC Adviser YingYing Li. First-year graduate stu-dents and undergraduates will makethe most use of the shuttle, Li said.Also, "it will soon be winter, and itwill be even more difficult for peo-ple to carry food from stores or T-stops," she said.
"What we need is hard evidenceto present to Frank LaVerde that theprogram'will be a success," Sriversaid.
The committee agreed to orga-nize a four-week trial period withLaVerde to sample the amount ofinterest among MIT students, hesaid.
The shuttle will be available foraii graduate and undergraduate stu-dents and spouses, Sriver said.
Participation in the shuttle lastspring waned toward the end of thesemester due to final exams, Sriversaid. A weak publicity campaignmay have also contributed to thefailure, he said.
The Graduate Student Council isresurrecting a grocery shuttle tobring students to LaVerde's StarMarket in Medford, a full servicegrocery store, according to Jeffrey J.Sriver G, co-chair of the GSC Hous-ing and Community Affairs Com-mittee.
The grocery shuttle will beginoperation this Saturday and will runevery Saturday through October,Sriver said. Buses will start atBuilding E40 at 11 a.m. and 12 p.m.and make several stops across cam-pus before heading out to the StarMarket, he said.

WASHINGTON
An international travel provision that has eased the passage ofmore than 9 million tourists and business travelers a year into theUnited States by waiving visa requirements is due to expire Friday,threatening to leave thousands of visitors stranded.
The visa waiver program - which is open to 20 countries inWestern Europe as well as Japan and New Zealand, with reciprocalwaivers for Americans going to those countries - has been used bymore than 31 million people since it was started eight years ago.
Without the provision, which has saved the government staffingand administrative costs, the result at international airports is "goingto be a huge mess" according to a State Department spokesman.
Despite overwhelming congressional support for an extension, itis part of a larger bill called the Technical Corrections Act that hasbeen stalled in the Senate by a number of amendments. Sen. HankBrown, R-Colo., introduced measures that would allow the presidentof Taiwan a visa to visit the United States and open up trade indefense and telecommunications technology with newly democraticEastern European countries.
Panel to Make RecommendationsOn Controversial Fetal Tests
THE WASHINGTON POST
that is scheduled to end in twoweeks.
It began as an effort to producethe most important piece of legisla-tion since the Great Depression -one that would revamp one-seventhof the U.S. economy and providehealth coverage to the almost 40million Americans who now lack it.In the end, warring factions wereunable to agree even upon a modestset of changes in insurance industrypractices that are almost universallycondemned, such as those that makeit impossible for people with knownillnesses to get coverage.
Mitchell tried to put the blamesquarely on GOP opposition, inobvious hope that the issue wouldreturn to haunt Republicans in thefall election. Though the Democratshold a majority of votes, they do nothave the 60 they would need toblock a filibuster.
However, even the Democratsthemselves were sharply divided onthe issue, and it was far from certainthat Mitchell could have garneredeven the 50 votes needed to passany of the alternatives he was con-sidering in recent days.
Minority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan., proclaimed that the reformeffort died because the Americanpeople rejected it - understandingcorrectly, he said, that PresidentClinton's vision of health reformwas one of dizzying complexity,strangling bureaucracy and wantonspending.
"We saw democracy in action,"Dole said.
Mitchell noted that there are"several good starting points" forhealth legislation next year. Pro-
posals on the table include a pack-age of insurance reforms and subsi-dies aimed at expanding coverageto about half the uninsured, as wellas a plan that would increase cov-erage of pregnant women and chil-dren.
in addition, Senate FinanceCommittee Chairman DanielPatrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., onMonday night said he had yetanother alternative: a package of"modest and sensible changes" thathe will lay before his committeeTuesday. It focuses on increasingthe tobacco tax, making healthinsurance costs for the self-employed fully deductible, expand-ing Medicaid for pregnant womenand children, and several healthinsurance reforms.
Meanwhile, the advocates ofhealth reform are grappling withdejection, anger, bitterness and dis-belief. But they have also begun try-ing to cull the lessons from whichthey hope to stage a political resur-rection.
if they do, the campaign willbear little resemblance to this year'sill-fated effort. Speaking on the con-dition of anonymity, several topWhite House advisers said the presi-dent is likely to advance a moremodest agenda that seeks step-by-step reforms.
They also said the White Houseis likely to adopt a far more openprocess in developing that agenda,in sharp contrast to the highly secre-tive manner in which it hammeredout the president's massive plan,which proved far too complex forthe public - and Congress - todigest.

WASHINGTON
Senate Majority Leader GeorgeJ. Mitchell, D-Maine, formally pro-nounced health care reform dead forthe year Monday, rendering a final,if somewhat anticlimactic, verdictreflecting a reality that has beenapparent for weeks.
Yet there was an undeniablepoignancy to the moment as theretiring majority leader, having for-feited a chance to be on theSupreme Court so he could fight fora bill he saw as the crowningachievement of his legislativecareer, conceded: "The combinationof the insurance industry on the out-side and a majority of Republicanson the inside proved to be too muchto overcome."
President Clinton vowed torenew his drive next year, despitethe fact that an expected surge in thenumber of Republicans in Congresscould make it even more difficult."This journey is far, far from over,"he said in a statement.
Mitchell's decision effectivelydooms House efforts as well, sinceno legislation can be passed withoutboth houses.
Clinton handed off the issue toCongress a little more than a yearago, offering'as a starting point a1,342-page bill produced by a taskforce that had been headed by firstlady Hillary Rodham Clinton. It haspreoccupied Capitol Hill ever since-to the exclusion, many Democ-rats and Republicans concede, ofmost other meaningful accomplish-ments in the latter half of the term
WASHINGTON
A government advisory panel is scheduled to announce recom-mendations Tuesday on what kinds of federally funded experimenta-tion should be permitted on human embryos, including the controver-sial question of whether scientists should be allowed to create sometest-tube embryos solely for the purpose of research.
Balancing potential scientific benefits and ethical considerationshas been a delicate process for the 19 members of the HumanEmbryo Research Panel of the National Institutes of Health. Sourceswho have seen the panel's report said it will recommend that the gov-ernment pay for some kinds of embryo research - including allow-ing the creation of human embryos for research purposes - whileexpressly rejecting others such as the creation of chimeras, or human-animal hybrids.
Whatever the panel's conclusions, the recommendations are likelyto deepen a bitter ideological dispute. Many scientists maintain thatoverly restrictive guidelines on embryo research would preventimportant discoveries in the study of in vitro fertilization, birthdefects, infertility and cancer.
¥A Treatment for Gulf War FamiliesWins Approval from Senate Panel

WASHINGTON
The Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, attempting to resolve animpasse over compensation for ailing military personnel who servedin the Persian Gulf war, has approved legislation allowing veterans'dependents to receive free medical examinations at veterans hospi-tals. The Senate panel added the provision to legislation that reaf-firms the committee's position that the Department of VeteransAffairs can compensate gulf veterans without additional legislation.The Clinton administration opposes the measure.
Another provision in the Senate bill would allow the administra-tion to cut only 10,000 people from the VA's payroll in the next fiveyears - not the 27.000 that Clinton had proposed. The House hasrejected any cuts to VA health care personnel.
The dependents' provision is unprecedented and certain to be con-troversial.
Veterans groups historically have resisted any proposal that wouldallow non-veterans to receive treatment in VA-run facilities.
Opposition by veterans groups killed a small Bush administrationpilot program to treat the rural poor at two VA hospitals. The veter-ans lobby has complained to Congress that such programs wouldundermine the government's commitment to veterans.
Miserable Situation
By Paul RichterLOS ANGELES TIMES
a fast-approaching Oct. 15 deadlinefor action on the issue. PresidentClinton has promised to urge theU.N. Security Council to end theembargo if the Bosnian Serbs do notagree by that date to a peace planadvanced by the United States, Rus-sia, Britain, France and Germany.
The president also has promisedto consult Congress on possibly lift-ing the embargo unilaterally if theSecurity Council doesn't go along.So far, the Bosnian Serbs haverejected the peace plan. The Bosn-ian government accepted it.
Ending the embargo next monthposes potentially serious problems:It could escalate the war swiftly,possibly spilling over into neighbor-ing countries, and it would probablydraw the United States into the jobof acting as a kind of military spon-sor for the Bosnians.
There was some speculation thatthe Bosnian Muslims feared liftingthe ban immediately would lead tothe swift evacuation of U.N. troopsand an all-out attack by the Serbs onthe Muslims.
Asked at a news conferencewhat would induce the Serbs to holdoff such an offensive if the embargowere lifted next year instead, Bosn-ian Ambassador Muhamed Sacirbeysaid that "we have reasons toexpect" the United Nations wouldnow heed Clinton's demand that itcall more air strikes against theSerbs and expand the number ofzones that exclude Serbian heavyweapons.
Lifting the embargo also meansthe United States "would have somereal responsibility to arm and equip"the Bosnian VMuslims, said one U.S.official. This obligation often hadbeen overlooked by those eager to
end the arms ban, the official said.The developments came as Clin-
ton delivered an annual U.N.address in which he appealed to theU.N. General Assembly to end thegrowing "strangulation" of thebesieged Bosnian capital of Saraje-vo and urged the use of NATO war-planes to get the job done.
In a speech that resonated withhis growing frustration, Clintonwarned that after a period ofimprovement, conditions aroundSarajevo have "once again deterio-rated substantially."
"A new resolve by the UnitedNations to enforce its resolutions isnow necessary to save Sarajevo,"Clinton declared. "NATO standsready to act."
Clinton also used his speech toexplain an American foreign policythat even many allies in the U.N.audience have found erratic. ThePresident pointed to recent U.S.interventions - notably Haiti - totry to calm fears that the UnitedStates was turning decisively awayfrom international involvements.
Clinton sought to minimize thedifferences with his allies in his 25-minute address, as he reviewed U.S.interventions that have taken placeon three continents over the pastyear. He cited Haiti to show that theUnited States would risk its bloodand money when the list of its crite-ria for peace-keeping missions weremet.
In ticking off the recent historyof U.S. involvements, Clinton didnot hint at U.S. ambivalence aboutSomalia, where U.S. forces wereabruptly withdrawn, or Rwanda,where forces were dispatched aftercritics complained of Americanfoot-dragging.
UNITED NATIONS
U.S. officials, Bosnian leadersand other allies conferred Mondayon a new proposal that could breakthe stalemate over the Bosnia armsembargo and abruptly shift the bal-ance of power in the three-year civilwar.
Convening at the United Nationsfor several days of meetings, topofficials are debating a suggestedcompromise to lift the embargo andto permit weapons shipments to theMuslim-led Bosnian army - andthus come closer to matching thefirepower of their Bosnian Serbadversaries - but not until earlynext year.
The proposal, first aired byBosnian officials last month, hasapparently softened the steadfastopposition of British and Frenchofficials who have threatened to pulltheir troops out of the U.N. peace-keeping mission in Bosnia if theamns embargo is lifted.
They would withdraw theirforces out of a concern that a resolLu-tion allowing arms to Bosnia mightprovoke an all-out Bosnian Serboffensive that would endanger theirtroops. The proposed delay wouldallow the allies to find safer posi-tions for their troops, or withdrawthem entirely.
The delay also may weakenRussian opposition to lifting theembargo. Madeleine Albright, U.S.ambassador to the United Nations,said Monday she believed "that asthe situation evolves, they may, infact, see some value" in such amove.
In addition, an agreement wouldenable the United States to sidestep

of what we had a couple weeksago," said U.S. AmbassadorWilliam Lacey Swing, who stood bythe Coast Guard cutter's gangplankwith the U.S. Forces commander,Lt. Gen. Hugh Shelton, to welcomethe boat people home.
Arresting the tidal wave of Hait-ian refuge seekers that had filled theCaribbean with a precarious armadabound for U.S. shoreswas highamong the reasons President Clintonused to justify a costly militaryintervention that already has left 11Haitians dead.
On the surface, Monday's cere-mony appeared to confirm how theU.S. presence and the promisedreturn of exiled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide can end the U.S.-bound exodus.
In reality, the group of voluntaryrepatriates, plucked from the sea justmonths ago by C6ast Guard patrols,were part of a weeks-old program to
convince the 14,000 Haitians still atthe U.S. Naval base in GuantanamoBay, that it is better to come homethan to live in limbo. Already, 5,783Haitians have done so voluntarily onCoast Guard vessels since July 25.
But timing was everything onMonday. Ambassador Swing saidthe group's arrival - the first underthe watchful guard of dozens ofU.S. soldiers - was a demonstra-tion that security in the country hasimproved enough to entice the restback in what he predicted will be arapidly escalating program.
For most of the refugees, thehomecoming from a painful journeythat ended where it had begun wasclouded with uncertainty. None hadabandoned the dream of reachingAmerican soil someday, but mostsaid they agreed to return largelybecause they were resigned to theimpossibility of ever reaching itfrom Guantanamo Bay.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI
With glum resignation, vaguehope and lingering fear, 221 Haitianboat people came home Mondayafternoon, filing off the U.S. CoastGuard cutter Northland at a Port-au-Prince harbor now teeming withU.S. combat forces in a ceremonyU.S. officials called the first con-crete demonstration of why Americaintervened militarily in Haiti.
Clad mostly in T-shirts andshorts or soiled dresses, theirbelongings tied up in plastic garbagebags, the men, women and childrenwho fled Haiti's horrors of povertyand violence in rickety boats justmonths before were-the first Haitiansto voluntarily return from amakeshift camp at Guantanamo Bayin Cuba since thousands of U.S.forces entered Haiti a week ago.

UNITED NATIONS
Russian President Boris Yeltsintold the United Nations Mondaythat Russia's priority interests lie inthe newly independent nations ofthe former Soviet Union, and heserved notice that Moscow believesit has the prime responsibility forensuring peace and stability amongthose neighboring states.
Yeltsin, who joined PresidentClinton in addressing the openingsession of the U.N. General Assem-bly, echoed a theme that has beensounded with growing frequency byRussian leaders in recent months.--a theme that has stirred concern inthe West about whether resurgent,nationalism could spur Russia toassume an arbiter's role in Central
I _ A .._ L!- . j . ..tAbia ailu vUtiilr dCJOllliii, icgiUIIS.
Yeltsin, who begins a two-daymeeting with Clinton in Washington
on Tuesday, said his country's "eco-nomic and foreign policy prioritieslie in the countries of the Common-wealth of Independent States. ERussia's ties with them are closerthan traditional neighborhood rela-tions; rather, this is a blood relation-ship."
Some diplomats and domesticcritics of Clinton's foreign policyfeel that Washington's courting ofRussian support in the U.N. Securi-ty Council for the U.S.-led militaryintervention in Haiti was a mistakebecause it revived the Cold Warconcept of spheres of influence.
According to this argument,Russia can maintain that if the Unit-ed States can take such actions in
,. the Caribbean, Russia has a similarright to intervene in the smaller andweaker countries of its neighbor-
Some U.S. officials said they areinterested in seeing how strongly
Yeltsin asserts this position in histalks with Clinton this week.
Yeltsin insisted Monday thatMoscow's desire for greater politi-cal and economic integration of theformer Soviet republics is shared bythose states and has "a foundation ofgoodwill and mutual benefit."
But he left no doubt that Russiaconsiders conflicts in the region "athreat to the security of our state,"and he added: "The main peace-keeping burden in the territory ofthe former Soviet Union lies uponthe Russian Federation."
He also obliquely but unmistak-ably repeated a warning made lastweek by Yevgeny Primakov, direc-tor'of th e R.ussian' e quivalent' of theCIA. Primakov said that 'efforts bythe West to stand in the way of rein-t-cgraLtiiGn oif C I ll.cr. republics aI.c

221 Boat People Return Home Clinton Softens Haiti SanctionsLOS ANGELES TIMES
UNITED NATIONS
President Clinton, asserting that American military interventionwill soon end human rights abuses in Haiti, softened U.S. economicsanctions against the impoverished Caribbean nation Monday to per-mit a resumption of airline service, financial transactions and humani-tarian projects.
In a speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Clinton said it is timeto begin rebuilding Haiti's shattered economy because elected Presi-dent Jean-Bertrand Aristide, ousted in a bloody military coup threeyears ago, is scheduled to regain power in less than three weeks.
"Essential civil order will be restored," Clinton said. "Humanrights violations will be curbed. E The military leaders will stepdown, the democratic government will be restored. President Aristidewill return."
The president said he has already lifted U.S. sanctions exceptthose aimed directly at military leaders and their rivilinn ppnnnortPrsand he urged other countries to do the same. He said the embargoimposed by the U.N. Security Council should be ended as soon asAristide returns to Haiti, scheduled for soon after Oct. 15. Food, med-icine and other humanitarian goods should begin flowing immediate-ly, he added.
Relaxation of the sanctions was part of a U.S. charm offensiveintended to show most Haitians that the projected 15,000-strong U.S.military presence is friendly. In other steps, the U.S. forces began dis-tributing food and medicine and launched a project to restore electricservice throughout the country. The U.S. military also announcedplans to protect the Haitian Parliament and to transport exiled law-makers back to Port-au-Prince for a key meeting on Wednesday.
Indian Plage O outbreakUnder Control
LOS ANGELES TIMES
NEW DELII, INDIA
Health officials reported Monday that India's first outbreak ofplague in nearly three decades was firmly under control, but theywere still hunting carriers of the deadly bacillus who, they said, havebecome as dangerous as "human bombs."
As of Monday, 41 deaths from pneumonic plague had been regis-tered in the western city of Surat near the Arabian Sea coast, and 453cases of the highly contagious disease were suspected in the city.
The officials called those numbers encouraging proof that thespread of the dreaded illness, which has killed 12 million Indians inthis century, had been checked.
"It is down. It is under control," said Dr. N.J. Kar, chief medicalofficer at the National Institute of Communicable Diseases in NewDelhi.
No new deaths had been reported in the previous 24 hours, offi-cials of the Health Ministry said Monday. Health Secretary M.S.Dayal had already given assurances that "there is going to be nolarge-scale outbreak."

The recent rush trials of the Interfra-temity Council Judicial Committee wentunnoticed for most students. At an insti-tution where harassment and discipline
incidents
Edbitofal often gener-ate inmmea-
surable controversy and discontent, theIFC should be lauded for a judicial sys-tem that works in a just and timely fash-ion. Although there are legitimate ques-tions about the system's ability todiscourage rush violations, the open andgenerally fair process should be modeledfor other Institute dispute resolutionprocesses.
The most impressive aspect of theIFC's system is its continuing opennature. Charges, trials, and sanctions arebrought, conducted, and reported in pub-lic. The individuals and living groupsconvicted of rush violations must pub-
licly affirm or deny responsibility foractions. Unlike other disciplinary pro-ceedings at MIT, living groups are heldresponsible by their peers; an example ofself-governance at its best.
The IFC system also remains princi-pled and equitable, and continues toencourage informal resolution of disputesbetween living groups. Not every livinggroup may be entirely happy with the dis-position of their individual cases, but thefact that only five of i 3 convicted groupswill likely appeal indicates that the sys-tem's constituents do find justice. Eventhe IFC President was not sheltered fromscrutiny: His living group was chargedand plead guilty to a rush violation inwhich he was implicated.
Although the IFC system processesrush violations efficiently, the ability ofthe system to discourage violationremains suspect. Year after year, living
groups violate long-standing and well-known rules like the prohibition againstbad-mouthing or hiding freshmen. Someliving groups even budget for fines aspart of their rush budgets. It seems thatthe punitive actions of the IFC JudicialCommittee are regularly being ignored.Because some living groups fail to learnthe lessons of past sanctions, the IFCshould explore other methods to ensurethat the living groups do not repeatedlyviolate rush rules.
In the final analysis, the success orfailure of judicial systems will be deter-mined by their ability to enforce rules anddispense justice in an efficient, open, andobjective manner.
Reasonable concerns notwithstand-ing, the IFC's judicial process seems tomeet this standard and should serve as amodel for student judicial self-gover-nance.

ing for 20 Minutes," Sept. 23]. She apparentlystated for the reporter that "[the number of tres-passing] incidents that have occurred over theyears is down since the MIT Card [includingthe card-key system] has been in use."
The introduction of the card-key systemhas been met with some controversy amongststudents, perhaps because many students feelthat it ic hei;ng imnrtt upr %on uis, without arnt
analysis of whether it is the best of a numberof different possible solutions. It is possiblethat Chief Glavin has access to some careful-ly-done studies which document that there is acausal relationship between the MIT Card anda drop in the number of trespassing incidentsin undergraduate dormitories. However, to myknowledge, no such study has been widelypropagated.
The introduction of the card-key systemhas in fact made it easier for me to enter otherdormitories freely to visit friends. In myexperience, students seem more inclined afterthe introduction of card keys to let people slipin after them, and even actively hold the dooropen for them. This may be because they,
too, find it inconvenient have to get out theirMIT Cards and are therefore inclined to helpothers avoid the increased amount of inconve-nience. For Chief Glavin to have made men-tion of the MIT Card in a positive light in thestory seems odd to me, especially when theinstallation of the card-key system probablyhelped, not hindered, this particular trespass-er's entn, into MACol-.ick do.m i- j ,.
I recognize that my experience is limitedin scope, and I may be misinterpreting themotives of students letting me enter their dor-mitories behind them. I wish to note that inthis matter as well as in others, studentsshould demand more forcefully to see realevidence that the card-key system is doingsome good, rather than simply blindly believein authority. In this matter, even if such evi-dence is presented, some students may feelthat the incremental benefit in security is notworth the incremental hassle; furthermore,such evidence would have no effect on otherlegitimate concerns about installing a card-key systemrn, e.g., privacy.

skydivers are more a part of the backgroundthan they are of the story. There's muchpotential for creating other stories with thesecharacters, but nothing comes to fruition. Thestory with Sheen and Kinski is the only onepresented to interest the audience, and theother characters aren't developed as well.
But you don't look for character develop-ment in an action film. You look for bigexplosions, impressive stunts, and stars tryingto get out of dangerous situations. When itworks, Terminal Velocity has all of that;ulnfortulnately, it doesn't have e...n. . Ia,,y_..._.rrr J .._*_.,,>s ._ ___.; * f its ~jI l. IVIally
(maybe too many) minutes are spent in con-versations. When it's between Sheen and Kin-ski, this helps to create their relationship. Inother cases, it just tries to justify the plausibil-ity of the plot. In all, Terminal Velocity hassome really exciting action scenes and a lot offunny lines that recommend it more than doesits story.
TERMINAL VELOCITYDirected by Deran Serafian.Written by David Twohy.Starring Charlie Sheen and Nastassja Kinski.Loews Copiey Place.
By Kamal SwamidossSTAFF REPORTER
amazing one has Sheen, Kinski, and a big redCadillac plummeting to earth from a cargoplane. But compared to Speed, this film hasfar too many slow parts. That movie redefinedthe action film, and Terminal Velocity doesn'tfare well in comparison.
That's not to say that Sheen and Kinski doa bad job. On the contrary, they play theirparts well throughout the film. They have anon-screen rapport that really helps the story.They're effective in both action and comedy.Kinski is the one in charge, the one whoknows the whoe-stor , ,hi!e Sheen is tryingto figure out what's going on. He's usually theone with the funny lines, regardless of situa-tion. His one-liners make every scene, actionor comedy, that much more entertaining.
Sheen and Kinski are forced to accept allof the audience's attention. The bad guysdon't say much, and when they do say some-thing, it's generic bad-guy stuff. The other
local daredevil skydiver (Charlie Sheen), andshe tricks him into helping her. Does it seemunbelievable? Well, it is, but it makes for anentertaining story that has suspense, action,and comedy.
Charlie Sheen fans will find that TerminalVelocity pales in comparison to The Chase,which recently came out on videotape. Sheenhas a more interesting part in a more interest-ing story in that film. The Chase is just a fun-nier action-comedy, probably because Termi-nal Velocity was focused more on suspenseand action than on comedy. Th at ' s too bad,because Terminal Velocity doesn't fully makeuse of one of Sheen's best abilities. However,the action scenes use him well.
People will be comparing action movieswith Speed for a long time, and they'll behard-pressed to find one as entertaining. Thereare some excellent aerial scenes in TerminalVelocity that rank right up there. The most
D on't judge this film by the first 15 min-utes: Otherwise, you'll think you knowhow they came up with the "terminal"part of Terminal Velocity. Be patient,
and you'll see a few good action scenes, aswell as some funny lines, from the stars.
The story starts as a group of former KGBagents sneak a 747 full of Russian gold intoArizona. They plan to launder it and finance amilitary coup of their homeland. NastassjaKinski was a part of this group, but she hasleft them and is now trying to stop them fromfulfilling their evil plan. She finds out about a
roller-coaster, and a few high notes on guitarrepeated throughout.
Whether slow and brooding, harsh andheavy, or light and intricate, Oranguiang hasliterally wrung out their emotions and pouredthem into their music. By way of an intensityexample, "The Day Before I Died" compelledme to leap from my seat while writing the,article and jump around my room during somegreat heavy rhythm work about two minutesinto the track.
"Sweet Lemon Maureen" juxtaposes
Sailor Acid Blues, deserves every bit of thatpraise. Diverse and original without becomingoverly eclectic, the sound of Dead Sailor AcidBlues runs the gamut from the exceedinglyheavy all the way to lighter, more intricately-textured weavings of guitar and vocals. Thesound of these four guys can loosely bedescribed as a mix between Rush's vocals,Stone Temple Pilot's rhythm guitar work, andVoivod's metal sounding edge to their work.
Orangutang keeps things interesting bymixing in some great guitar and other effectswork on a lot of their tracks, especially duringthe song intros . For example, "Slahday &
Camus," which lasts only 39 seconds and con-sists entirely of samples and effects-work,proclaims at its end, "Good Evening, Ladiesand Gentlemen," and jumps immediately intothe second track, "Bigger Chunk." "BiggerChunk" combines especially Rush-like vocalsand a sound vaguely reminiscent of Jane'sAddiction productions, with some innovativeguitar work to form a truly excellent track."Pontchartrain," the second shortest song onthe disc, conjures up images of a multicoloredball of play dough in its swirling construction:It's an instrumental mix of reversed soundbites, screams that could have come from a Orangutang, Page 7

~ plays the classic hero in AndyDufresne, a successful banker who is impris-oned Tor two murders (of his wife and herlover) he did not commit. Without a fight, likea biblical sheep led to the slaughterhouse, heallows his sentence to be commuted.
In prison he is withdrawn, carrying himselfin the same dignified manner that he hadbecome accustomed to as a banker. Thisstrange demeanor in the midst of the prison'sphysically and psychologically abrasive leali-ty immediately attracts the curious attention ofEllis "Red" Redding, played by Morgan Free-man. Two months pass before Andyapproaches him.
Andy approaches Red out of necessity, in asomewhat bored condition: He wants toresume his rock sculpting hobby and Red,being something of a kingpin within theprison ranks, is the only inmate with enoughconnections to smuggle small rocks and tools

tendency to deny himself relationships withothers. Actually, exactly how and to whatextent Andy is socially imprisoned seems tobe anybody's guess, including his own. Thisis the only flaw apparent in the movie. Intro-
doesn't clarify exactly what Andy's socialproblem is, or how he feels about it.
As his friendship with Red develops,Andy, a shrewd financial planner, quicklymakes friends among the guards and even cul-tivates the favor of the warden himself, wholets him open a prison library. When the war-den begins to sell prison labor to private andpublic ventures, Andy is there to hide theshortcuts and kickbacks. While his favors forthe guards get him protected from some of therougher inmates, his favors for the warden getnothing but more, as the warden double-cross-es him. Here, as in other parts of the movie,the content hints at a Christ allegory: The war-den tells Andy, "You will do the hardest timethere is."
Throughout the movie, Red is inspired bythe hope which carries Andy through toughtimes, hope which Red himself had not beenable to hold on to. When Andy escapes fromprison through the sewage pipes, Red marvels,"Andy crawled through a river of shit andcame out clean on the other side." This themepersists throughout the movie, sometimes veryartfully disguised.
Andy says only once in the movie, "Youkeep busy living or you get busy dying." Nosentiment has ever been so brought to life in amovie: The Shawshank Redemption tran-scends its short-story basis to yield a lastingmessage of inspiration and renewal. Thismovie has "Oscar" written all over it.

Orangutang, from Page 6 Gold" to produce a soft and melodic construc-tion that comes across as being sung by some-one mired in deep depression, being liftedback into the world of the living by the soundof the music.
"Lucky Jad" sounds a lot like some-thing from Weezer's latest disc, with itsclear vocals and light guitar intro beforecrashing home with some heavierrhythm guitar that continues for the restof the track. "Lucky Jad" augments therhythm guitar at points with some inter-esting guitar effects and an impressivesolo. "Lucky Jad" works well, with anexcellent sounding chorus: "The tele- 1phone is ringing / I know it's never for I me."
As one major highlight on thealbum, "Surf Continental" kicks. Thisguitar laden production sparkles with itsindustrial derived construction - itgets rated right along side of "The DayBefore I Died" in terms of sheer inten-sity and ability to get inside the listenerand evoke feeling. "Surf Epilogue"blends right in to the end of "Surf Con-tinental" and provides an ethereal, wideopen sound to the end of the song.
The song "A.M." provides a fittingend to the album, with acoustic sound-f "ing guitar and some truly evocativelyrics like, "In the a.m. I will be there Wwhen the light pours out of the fishes' Tihe mouth / When the door slams and the Deana
diamond drops into the spoon and rollsaround."
In the end, Orangutang succeeds well onnearly all the tracks of Dead Sailor AcidBlues, showing some amazing depth in their
abilities as musicians and composers. Out of apossible 10, reserved for a sound whichevokes such desire as to cause one to rush outand buy the compact disc immediately, DeadSailor Acid Bluttes rates a 9.
amazingly personal lyrics - "Bathing in thelight of a radiant splendor / Like a clear crys-tal sky in a Cuban December / She's beenburning bright, I am a frozen ember / Holdingon to the letter that I' know I'll never send her/ Sweet lemon Maureen / I'm still right herewhere you left me" - with guitar work thatcould have easily have come from Helmet. Itbrings the writer's feelings of loss and isola-tion to the forefront, leaving the listenerbreathless by the end of the track.
Another track that could have easily havecome from Helmet, "Daddy Raw," a darkso ending tune with some lyrics that makesone wonder exactly what they're thinkingabout, stands apart from the other tracks onthe disc in that it doesn't really fit with theimages evoked by the other tunes: definitelynot the pick of the bunch.
An equally intense emotional outpouringcomes forth during "They All Write HerSongs," and "Sea of Glass," with surprisinglymelodic vocals. "They All Write Her Songs"augments the vocals with a more upbeattempo and some interesting guitar effects atthe intro, whereas "Sea of Glass" makes useof a slower guitar that sounds like it's gettingpassed through a flanger or something similarat points. Both constructions come out beauti-fully.

Sohah Iqbal '98 agreed. "Thenew house is a place for the wholechapter to get together," she said.
Some sisters chose not to live atthe new house. "I think I can have
he house offerswithout actually living there," saidEla Ben-ur '97. "I could hang outthere, but if I left anything [at home]I could just pick it up," she added.
Hodges is not bothered by thecommute from the house to campus."It's a very short time. You justjump on a bike and you're there,"she said.
Kim Levis '98 also decided notto live at the house. "I want to livein a dorm," she said. "I also want tomeet unaffiliated people."
The Boston West route of theSafe Ride vans was changed toinclude a stop in front of the newhouse. Plans to include the site ofthe new house along the route beganeven before the purchase of theproperty, Immerman said.
land contaminant-free. The cost ofpreparing the park was originallyestimated at $200,000, but after highlevels of lead and petroleum hydro-carbons were found in the soil it wasfound that an additional $400,000 to$500,000 would be needed to decon-taminate the area, Gallop said.
"These are not unusual contami-nants to find," Gallop said. "Theyare a result of the industrial fill thatCambridge was built on and are nothazardous to those who live andwork in the area, but when kids areinvolved, we want to remove thesetypes of substances," she said.
The process of site preparationbegan four weeks ago with the

However,restrictions apply to the design andheight of any buildings that aredetailed in the zoning bylaw, he said.
When MIT helps the Cambridgecommunity at no cost to the city gov-ernment and gets something of valuein return, "we get a win-win-win sit-uation," Gallop said. "This is aunique way of addressing municipalissues in a time of economic strain."
Under the August agreement,MIT is responsible for donating the
Officials from MIT, the Cam-bridge City Council, and Cam-bridgeport came to an agreementlast month that MIT would donateabout 1.5 acres of land for the con-struction of a Cambridgeport park inexchange for development rights inthe area, said Sarah E. Gallop, assis-tant for government relations in thepresident's office.
The possibility of building apark on Institute property was intro-duced in early 1992 after a 12-yearrezoning effort in Cambridgeport,where MIT owns 40 acres of land,Gallop said.
Cambridgeport is bounded bythe Charles River, Pearl Street,Massachusetts Avenue, and Memnor-ial Drive, Gallop said. The park islocated on Sidney Street, betweenPacific Street and Tudor Street, shesaid.
MIT's development rights will beused to build housing, Gallop said.
A week before this year's Resi-dence and Orientation Week began,21 Alpha Chi Omega sisters movedinto the sorority's new four-storybrownstone at 478 CommonwealthAve., across the street from theAlpha Phi sorority house.
The building includes a televi-sion room, a dining area, a computerroom, a kitchen, a library, and abike room, said AXO PresidentDiane F. Hodges. Tab huse isI alsfhandicapped accessible with an ele-vator and a bathroom that areequipped with special features, shesaid.
The residents were chosenamong interested sorority members,Hodges said. The 21 sisters andthree new members filled the twoquadruples, two triples, three dou-bles, and four single rooms in thehouse, she said.
MIT purchased the house for thesorority for about $I,050,000, saidStephen D. Immerman, director ofspecial services. Renovations costedabout $750,000, which included allcosts associated with furnishing thehouse and installation of anadvanced security system, Immer-man said.
The AXO House CorporationBoard, which is made up of AXOalumnae in the area, is in theprocess of negotiating a repaymentplan with MIT, Hodges said.
New house is 'gorgeous'"The house is gorgeous," said
Catherine J. Mangion '95. "There'sa chandelier in the downstairs area,and there are stained glass windowson the second floor."
The house's special featuresinclude several fireplaces, Hodgessaid. One mantle has intricate carv-ings with sculptures flanking eachside, she said.
"It's a wonderful opportunity towalk down the hall and hang outwith sisters," Hodges said. "Beforewe got the house, it was a hassle toget everyone together. Everyone

said. The candidates who did notwin can still participate in other UApositions and committees, Sankaransaid.
The newly elected officers arealready making plans for the year.
"I hope everyone gets off to agood year, and I'm sure Jessica andI will be getting back to everyone inthe freshmen class about projectsthat we'll be planning," Roulettesaid. Roulette said that if any fresh-men have suggestions, they cansend him electronic mail.
"My main position is to get somefund-raisers going," Chan said. Hesaid he is open for suggestions fromhis classmates, and he is going tolook at how other MIT activities dofund-raising.
Yo and Yu said that they areworking on different fund-raisers
and study breaks, and they "definite-ly want to continue the 'Screw YourRoommate' Dance."
Rank system might sway voteThe UA uses the system of pref-
erential voting in elections,Sankaran said. In preferential vot-ing, each voter ranks their choicesfor a certain position instead ofselecting just one candidate, he said.
When officials are tallying thevotes they go through rounds. Who-ever has the fewest number of votesin the round gets dropped, and"their votes are divvied up amongthe other candidates," Sankaranexplained.
For the president and vice presi-dent races, "most of the ballotsended up being nonpreferential,"Sankaran said. "The majority ofpeople only ranked one person ontheir ballot" for these positions, he
said.Sankaran speculated that if some
candidates had received more sec-ond place votes they might haveended up winning the race.
Though "the ballots said rank[your choices] in preferential orderfrom one to eight," Sankaran is notsure if freshmen understood theconcept of preferential voting.
"It kind of makes you think thatcandidates should campaign for sec-ond place votes," Sankaran said.
The deadline for filing to run foreither the secretary or publicitychair positions was extended until 5p.m. on Tuesday because no onewas running for either office.Though candidates who were run-ning in highly-competitive racesalso had the option to switch andrun for one of these positions, onlynew candidates decided to run forthese offices, Sankaran said.

conference defensive player of theweek.
Eventually, MIT got on thescoreboard with 1:42 left in thequarter. The Beavers scored on a24-yard screen from Sgouros toTroy Gayeski '97. On the ensuingpoint after, MIT faked a kick andscored on a wide-open pass play toGayeski.
The second quarter was worseoffensively than the first. However,WNEC scored its only touchdownwith 9:30 left in the quarter whenSteve Carroll ran off-tackle fortlllree yards to scorL. However, theGolden Bears pass fell incompleteto result in a Beaver lead, 8-6.After an MIT possession that result-ed in a punt, WNEC got one firstdown. However, their possessionstalled as MIT had back-to-backsacks as first Troy Thorson '98 andCraig Yanney '97 and then Yanneyby himself sacked Matt Luccarelli.Yanney would have 2.5 sacks over-all to tie Phelps for second in thatstatistic to Brad Gray '98 who hadthree.
MIT's resulting possessionstalled and the Beavers punted. Onthe next series of WNEC downs,
MIT sacked Luccarelli three moretimes. First Yanney had his finalsack of the day. Then after a GoldenBear first down, John Niforatos '96teamed with Phelps on one sack.Then Andy Migliano '98 sackedLuccarelli on a fourth down to stopWNEC as time expired.
In the third quarter, MIT scoredits first running touchdown of theseason. After WNEC initial posses-sion stalled and the Golden Bearspunted, the Beavers received theball on the MIT 37. On the firstplay, Saul DeLeon '98 ran 39 yards.After a series of short runs hy ChrisBrown '96 and DeLeon moved theball to the WNEC 2, DeLeon wasrewarded for his 39-yard effort witha 2-yard plunge for the touchdownwith 9:19 left in the quarter. KenMills '97 converted the point-after-touchdown (PAT).
After the kickoff, the GoldenBears moved the ball to the MIT 26.However, a third down pass wasknocked down by Matt Turner '96and the resulting 43-yard field goalwas short to give the Beavers theball back. On the ensuing posses-sion, MIT moved the ball to theWNEC 25 before its drive stalled on
a batted ball by Ken Fulton. Thehalf ended with no further action.
On the resulting possession bythe Golden Bears, Brad Gray got hisfirst sack and MIT's seventh of thegame. Gray helped then stall thedrive so MIT took over on downs atthe 50-yard line. The resulting drivewas converted as with 8:06, Gayeskicaught a tipped-pass in the endzone. Mills converted the PAT toconclude the scoring.
Defense dominated the finalminutes of the game, especiallyMIT's. At 6:31 left in the game,Gray stalled another WNEC driveto force a punt. After MIT wentthree-and-out, the Beavers had theirsecond series of back-to-backsacks. First, Gray sacked Luccarellito record the hat-trick and thenPhelps had his final sack of thegame at 2:29. Lastly, Mike Butville'98 had the final sack of the gameto tie a WNEC record for sacksallowed.
Offensively, the Beavers had299 overall yards while limiting theGolden Bears to 197. DeLeon ledthe team with 63 rushing yardswhile Sgouros contributing 149yards passing.
However, all is not well withthis team. The Beavers committed10 penalties for 96 yards. Also, theoffense looked pathetic at timeswhich will create problems againstthe better teams in the conferencelike Bentley, Curry and Stonehillwhom MIT plays next week on theroad. The 299 yards of offense rep-resents the best performance so farthis year while they only generated44 yards against Assumption in lastweek's 41-7 loss and 213.3 overthe season. Also, the 197 yardsallowed on defense marked theirbest storage .While giving ip 5'67against Salve Regina the first weekof the season in a 26-7 loss and416.7 overall in the season. Suchnumbers loom large in a matchupagainst perennial ECFC power-house Bentley with their monstrousoffense.
Even so, their is plenty of opti-mism. Over 1000 people attendedthe first home game of the season. Itwould be great to see similar num-bers in two weeks at Homecomingagainst Curry College, the nexthome game after the away game atStonehill College Saturday.
Setting an Eastern CollegiateFootball Conference and MITrecord of 11 sacks for a loss of 78yards, the MIT football team defeat-ed the Western New England Col-lege Golden Bears 22-6 Saturday atSteinbrenner Stadium. The victorywas the Beavers first of the seasonand put the team 1-2 overall and1-1 in the conference.
WNEC fell to 0-3 overall.The first quarter was uneventful
as neither team could mount a seri-ous offensive threat until the quar-ter's end. The only plays of noteWere a punt by WNEC that MITfumbled following an 8-yard returnbut was nullified by an inadvertentwhistle midway in the game.
Also; MIT committed its onlyturnover at 7 minutes 23 secondswhen Alex Sgouros '95 had hispost pass intercepted by KeithMurphy. One minute later, AndyPhelps '95 got his and the Beaversfirst sack to stall the resultingGolden Bears drive. Phelps wouldget 2.5 sacks and one tackle forloss with 10 tackles overall duringthe game and was nominated for

The water polo team met Boston College at the Alumni Pool lastWednesday. The game ended 14-5, in favor of BC.
Although the Engineers were decimated by illness, they playedvaliantly. During the first half Scan Carpenter '96 scored MIT's firstgoal, but BC's quick counters tired the MIT defense and goalie EvenWeis '96. As a result, BC scored 10 goals going into the third quarter.
The second half of the game proved to be more successful for theEngineers. Sanford Fitch '96 replaced Weis and brought new energyto the team by making five saves shot from within 4 meters. Carpenterplayed excellent defense and made critical steals. David Brandenburg-er '95 was good in 2-meter defense, not letting the ball near the goal.
Fitch surpriscu e cirod wten l[ L the gdsii cage "nd u.t-- amlto the middle of the pool, making BC lose the ball. Not missing theopportunity, Brandenburger scored after making an ejection.
Ben Soule '96, Robert Mclntyre '98, and Steve Paik '97 each hadone goal. Paik also played great defense, stealing the ball 2 metersfrom goal.THO()MAS R KARLO-THE TECtH

sex Fells Reservation in Stoneham,Mass., right after Friday's torrentialdownpour. The conditions wereclassic for New England cross coun-try, with high humidity, muddytrails, and tough hills.
The highlights of the coursewere the ponds left on the trail, thelargest of which was 20 feet longand I foot deep. However, none ofthese factors could stop the Engi-
neers.Ethan Crain '95 and Jesse Dar-
ley '95 once again lead the team tovictory. Together they took the leadearly on and never relinquished it,taking the top two places. Crain fin-ished the 5-m-le course in 26 min-utes 10 seconds, with Darley closebehind at 26:16.
For the rest of the team, the racewas an exercise in running in groupsand executing tactical plans. ArnoldSeto '96, Dan Helgesen '97, KarlMunkelwitz '95,. and Josh Feldman'97 ran together for most of the raceand finished sixth, seventh, ninth,and 11 th respectively. Their conser-vative start enabled them to sweeppast slower runners with ease.
This scenario was repeated bythe rest of the Engineers as well.Eric Nicholson '98 led the nextgroup, finishing in 28:35.
Overall, the team is improvingsteadily. As Coach Halston Taylorhas told the team, "I am convincedthat our dramatic improvement isdue to our mileage." The teammembers run an average of 60 milesa week, with the top men running 90miles or more a week.
The next race will be this Satur-day's Lemoyne Invitational inSyracuse, N.Y. This will be a truetest of the team's strength, withNew England rival Williams Col-lege and the New York powerhous-es Rochester Institute of Technolo-gy and Albany State all expected toparticipate.
The men's cross country teamextended its undefeated record to5-0 with a victory Saturday againstTufts University, Bates College, andBentley College. MIT won decisive-ly against all three opponents, scor-ing 25 points to Tufts's 54, Bates's71, and Bentley's 81.

Minnesota had a field day in thefirst half of their game againstMiami. Warren Moon, who shred-ded the Dolphins' defense for 326passing yards, threw for three touch-downs and led the Vikings to a 28-0lead midway through the secondquarter. However, that's when DanMarino decided it was time to playball, and Miami exploded to tie thegame at 28 in the fourth quarter. Inthe end, though, Moon camethrough, leading the purple-headedwarriors on a ,70-:yard touchvdownv.thrust, and Marino threw his thirdinterception of the day to kill thecomeback, as the Vikings held onfor a 38-35 victory.
In what might be termed anupset if this weren't the NFL (canyou say parity?), the Los AngelesRams dismantled Kansas City to thetune of 16-0. The Rams got 132yards rushing out of Jerome Bettisand 207 yards passing from backupquarterback Chris Chandler. JoeMontana, fighting a flu bug, wasintercepted three times, and failed totake his team on a touchdown drivefor the first time - ever - in hisprofessional career.

Humphries was limpingafter taking a massive hit, but stillmanaged to take his team 65 yardsto set up a John Carney field goalwith two seconds left.

As hard as it is to believe, Wash-ington's incredible victory wasovershadowed Saturday by the end-ing of the Michigan-Colorado game.As the Huskies and the Hurricanesplayed on, ABC continued to updatethe happenings in Ann Arbor, andviewers saw a 14-9 Colorado leadsuddenly turn into a 26-14 Michi-gan lead at the end of the third quar-ter. The Wolverines seemed to beheaded for victory, even when theBuffaloes scored to close to 26-21with 2 minutes 15 seconds left inthe game. Then disaster struck.Michigan was unable to get a firstdown and was forced to punt, givingColorado the ball on its own 15-yard line with 15 seconds left. TheBuffaloes took nine seconds toadvance the ball to their own 36,and with six seconds left, quarter-back Kordell Stewart dropped back,looked, dropped back some more,and let go with a Hail Mary passthat traveled over 70 yards in theair, bounced off a helmet and intothe arms of Michael Holbrook forthe game-winning touchdown thatleft Michigan fans just as stunned asMiami fans.
Notre Dame's ranking mightactually go up this week, if onlybecause two higher-ranked teamslost. The Irish had no trouble rack-ing up a 39--21 victory over Puardue,despite having lost starting tailbackLee Becton to a groin injury. Back-ups Randy Kinder and Ray Zellarscombined for 299 yards and threetouchdowns to pace Notre Dame onthe ground, while Ron Powl'spassed for l1I yards and no inter-ceptions to lead the air assault. Pur-due played themselves out of thegame in the third quarter, when theBoilermakers gave up an intercep-tion and two fumbles on threestraight drives, and the Irish con-verted all three turnovers into
scores.Note to Sports Illustrated: Don't
hand Steve McNair the Heismanjust yet; he may not be able to holdit up. McNair, the stellar quarter-back from Division I-AA AlcornState, suffered a first-degree shoul-der separation in his throwing armduring a 48-23 loss to Sam HoustonState. McNair had passed for 395yards and two touchdowns beforeleaving the game, and is listed asprobable for next week, but thisinjury may affect his throwing or hisconfidence. Stay tuned.
Not on strike for now league
Don't look now, but the Patriotsare playing .500 ball. Yes, it's onlyfour games into the season, butBledsoe and the gang actuallylooked good this week, as they beatDetroit 23-17 in the Silverdome.Lions coach Wayne Fontes warnedhis team to beware of a letdown fol-lowing their overtime win in DallasMonday night, but the warningwasn't enough. Bledsoe hadarguably the best game of his shortcareer, completing 21 of 33attempts for 251 yards and a touch-down. The Lions got their touch-downs on runs of 39 and 35 yardsby Barry Sanders, who finished theday with 131 yards rushing, butcouldn't lead his team past NewEngland.
Well, the Jets had fun while itlasted. After a 2-0 start that includ-ed a big win over Buffalo, NewYork came back to earth with back-to-back losses. This week, DaBears rolled over the hapless Jets,19-7. Despite outgaining Chicagoin every conceivable form ofoffense, the Jets were simplyunable to put points on the board, aresult of more or less completeincompetence. New York lost twoof its five fumbles; the Bears, incomparison, never fumbled theball, and relied on competent
intense pressure to WNEC's quar-terback, and came up with 11 sacks,an ECFC conference record.
Boston College also improved to1-2 with a 21-9 victory over arather pathetic Pittsburgh team.True freshman Scott Mutryn wasless than impressive in his first col-legiate start (9-20, 90 yards, 1 TD,3 INT's). Fortunately for the Eagles,Pitt was even less impressive, with alackluster defense and a turnover-and-penalty-prone offense that con-verted two of 12 third down oppor-tunities.
Just down the road, Boston Uni-versity extended its regular-seasonwin streak to 16 games with a30-15 laugher over Villanova. TheTerriers were able to outperform'Nova on both sides of the ball,despite a subpar (by the standards ofthe spoiled BU fans) performanceby star quarterback RobertDougherty, who was interceptedtwice. The Wildcats did not scoretheir first touchdown until just over
Florida State is well on its wayto another ACC title after a 31-18victory over North Carolina. TheTar Heels started four drives inSeminole territory in the first half,and threatened in the fourth quar-ter, but fumbles (three of them)kept Carolina from ever climbingback into the game. Ironically, thiswas the closest ACC conferencegame Florida State has had in twoyears.
Three weeks ago, Miami set therecord for the longest home winningstreak in college football at 58 whenthey beat Georgia Southern. Satur-day, Washington brought the streakto an abrupt and shocking halt. TheHuskies, who came into the game as15-point underdogs, scored threetouchdowns in a seven-minute spanduring the third quarter to upset theHurricanes, 38-20.

Although the doubles matcheswould not have affected the finalteam decision, the Engineers hopedto cut down the margin of defeat.The top two doubles teams lead atone point in their matches, butended up losing.
At first doubles, Lanyon andWang squa,,ndered Cleads of 3-0 and5-4 to finish with an 8-5 loss. Indoubles, the serving side often dom-inates the play; on this day, unfortu-nately, the MIT pair lost their lasttwo service games.
The second doubles team ofGanguli and Weintraub remainedclose with their opponents, remain-ing on serve. It started raining afterthe first doubles match, but notbefore the end of the second doublesmatch.
The match was moved indoors,which did not seem to make toomuch of a difference. The final deci-sion went to a tiebreaker, where theverdict rested on a matter of a fewpoints. In the end, the Wesleyan paircame out on top, winning, 9-8(9-7).
Opening home loss to BUThe team faced its first true test
against Boston University. AlthoughBU was a Division 1 team, its lineupwas considerably weaker than thosein the past. Coach Jeff Hamiltonhoped that the Engineers couldexploit this fact.
Many of the matches were close,but none of the MIT players wereable to emerge victorious. First inthe doubles, the top pair of Wangand Lanyon lost by a difference ofone service break. The third doublesteam of Lin and Marcato held thelead through most of their match,but ended up losing in a 7-4tiebreaker, 9-8.
The Engineers hoped to improvetheir performance in the singles tooffset the 1-0 team deficit, andoften looked that way. The bestopportunity came at fifth singles,where Marcato served-and-volleyedhis way to a match point in the thirdset, but could not convert. His oppo-
After a week of matches, themen's tennis team stands at 1-2 inits record so far this season. Theseason started off with a 6.5-0.5win over Clark University, followedby a 7-0 loss to Boston Universitylast Thursday and a disappointing5-2 loss to Wesleyan University onSaturday. The last two dual meetswere played at home.
The day before the Wesleyanmatch saw heavy rains. The outdoorcourts barely dried in time to havethe match held outdoors, but thethreatening weather conditions con-tinued, causing the singles games tobe played before the doubles, adeparture from the normal format.
The team went into the matchwith high hopes as the opponentshad lost many of their top players,including Tom Riefenheiser, oncethe top Division III singles player inthe nation. However, a win was notmeant to be for MIT, as Wesleyandecided the dual meet in the singles.(Under the new format, the threedoubles games combined count foronly one team point.)
Wesleyan went on the boardfirst, as fourth and fifth singles play-ers Hank Lin '97 and Rob Marcato'97'both lost in straight sets, withscores of 6-4, 6-1, and 6-2, 6-3,respectively. First singles playerJason Weintraub '97 came backfrom a disastrous first set, but fellshort, 6-1, 7-6.
Soon after Weintraub's match,the Engineers responded with twopoints. Geoff Lanyon '98, at thesecond position, fought a toughopponent for a 7--5, 6-4 win. Imme-diately below Lanyon, Dan Wang'97 had to struggle, but captured a6-4, 6-2 win.
With Wesleyan leading 3-2,MIT's hopes rested on sixth singlesplayer Surya Ganguli '97 to stay inthe match. After !osJng the first setand falling behind 5-0 in the sec-ond, Ganguli fought back. He pulledto as close as 5-4, but lost the finalgame. With that point, Wesleyanhad already clinched the team victo-ry.

Competing atthe number two position, BobbyKommineni '97 played tough butcame up against the top Division IIIMassachusetts recruit, losing 6-0, 6-0. Seetha Ramnath '96, at the num-ber three position, played anextremely close and intense matchall the way through, barely losing6-3, 6-4.
Fourth singles player Mirandaran '95 gave a valiant effort but lost7-6 (7-1), 6-0. At the fifth spot,Lily Koo '97 played very well and
lost 6-4, 6-2. Number six singlesplayer Nora Humphrey '98 playedwith poise in a losing effort, 6-2,6-4.
In exhibition singles play, SejalShah '95 lost a tight match, 8-5.Sarah Kringer '97 overpowered heropponent, as she took an 8-4 victo-ry.

pair of Matsuzaki and Fan lost 8-6in a match that was decided by lessthan half a dozen points. Seconddoubles pair Ramnath and Kringerand the third doubles team of Kom-mineni and Koo both lost theirmatches 8-2.

The women's tennis team had abusy weekend, playing Colby Col-lege on Friday and Wesleyan Uni-versity on Saturday. MIT lost bothmatches 8-1. Still, they did win lastWednesday's matchup againstWorcester Polytechnic Institute.

offensive end.The team suffered a disappoint-
ing loss in Thursday's game againstBabson, a New England Women'sEight Conference opponent.
Babson dominated the first halfof the game, taking 13 shots toMIT's three. The Babson Beaversscored the first goal only 9 minutesinto the game. Goalie Laura Walker'97 had an incredible half, makingII saves.
With less than 4 minutes remain-ing in the half Babson scored theirsecond goal on a breakaway play.
In the second half MIT was ableto turn things around and dominatedthroughout the period. The Engi-neers took nine shots this time whilethe Beavers took only one. Approxi-mately 10 minutes into the period,Co-captain Meera Saini '95 scoredan unassisted goal. Despite severalfurther attempts to score, MIT wasunable to convert any of their otherscoring opportunities and lost thegame 2-1.
Blowout over WheelockIn the home match of the week,
MIT crushed Wheelock College8-0. From the onset of the gameMIT dominated their opponent.Saini scored the first goal only fourminutes into the period, assisted by
Mangion and Merrilees. The secondgoal followed shortly afterwardswhen Merrilees, assisted by Man-gion, put the ball into the Wheelocknet. Late in the half StephanieMaifert '98 scored after beingpassed the ball by Wendy Silver-berg '96.
In the second half Merrileesscored four of her five goals, two ofwhich were unassisted. Her fourthgoal was assisted by Mangion whileher fifth was assisted by Juintow Lin'95 and Kim Levis '98. The onlynon-Merrilees goal of the half wasscored by Maifert off of a pass byTorres. Merrilees had an outstand-ing game, both offensively anddefensively.
Commenting on the Wheelockgame, Coach Cheryl Silva said,"The new players on the squad got alot of valuable game time and expe-rience. The passing combinations,finesse and controlled stickwork ofthe team set up some great attackplays upon which we were able tocapitalize."
With the next game tomorrow athome against Wellesley College,Silva still acknowledged thestrength of her team's upcomingNEW-8 opponent. "We expect amuch more difficult game againstWellesley," she said.
Last week the M IT field hockeyteam played against Gordon Col-lege, Babson College, and Whee-lock College, and came away withtwo wins. The first two games wereaway on grass fields while Satur-day's matchup was at home on theartificial turf.
On Tuesday, the Engineers trav-eled to Gordon College for their firstgame on grass this season. Duringthe first half, MIT played sluggish-ly, taking only two shots at the Gor-don goal. In the second half, MITtook control of the game afterKatherine Merrilees '97 scored agoal on a penalty stroke 12 minutesinto the period.
Three minutes later, Ann Torres'96 dodged the Gordon goalie andscored.
Gordon remained very aggres-sive and almost scored later in thegame. A shot taken by one of theGordon players ricocheted off ofthe corner of the MIT goal. Theball rolled along the goal line andwas about to roll into the goalwhen it was saved by Co-captainCatherine Mangion '95 with areverse stick hit. For the rest of thegame.the ball was kept in MIT's
