Motives behind BVOB policy uncovered by)ot Parbr News EdiJor

A almo 1 everyone on campus must know by now. on January 22. 1991. the Inter Fraternity Council adopted a new alcohol policy that would ~verely restrict the way frater"­mues on campus would run social events.

This policy is based on the risk management policy ~et out by the Fraternity Insurance Policy Group (FIPG). Seven of the twelve WPI fraterni ties are currcntly members of the FlPG: Alpha Chi Rho, Phi Gamma Delta. Sigmo Pi. Alpha Tou Omega. Tau Kappa Epsilon, and Zeta Pbi. Lambda Chi Alpha, the chapcer which was !>USpended from WPI in 1989. is also a member. The remaining five fracernicies have ''independent insur­ance l whose coverage is) almosr iden­tical to che ... APG policy." Accord­ing to Durward Owen. che president of FIPG. "FIPG was creaced 10 response ro the increased inability of general headquarters to obtain adequate lia­bility insurance and has been able to

recruit members through a good IO· surance policy. fair rcrmo;. and an at­tractive price. The overall APG pro­gram is beller than what a fratemny would be able to obtain on its own."

TFCs around the country arc adopc­ing policies similar to that which the APG prescribes because of IOcreao;­ing dafficulty for fraternities 10 obtain liability ansurance while operating under a liberal alcohol policy. Na­tional Headquarters arc coming down hard and applying pressure for a uni­form BYOB policy, a major factor in WPI's fraternities' decision to go BYOB. The key to the program work­Ing is all of the Fratemilies working together to enforce the policy: ''The Intention of aU this is to make a com­mitment to one another that in prin­ciple. ~;pirit, and philosophy, we be­come interfmternitiy brothers' keeper with respect to the implementation, enfoJtement and verification of the Risk Management Policy of the Group and actively and freely com­municate with one another to that end'' (from the written philosophy af FIPG).

Sagma Alpha Ep~ilon (whach hao; a WPI chapter) implemented a policy samllar to that which the APG pre­scribes in 19R6. and·~ clearly a fore­runner to the current FIPG pohey. It state~ "No purchase of alcoholic bev­erages with chapter funds. This an­eludes the purchase of kegs and beer". Section 2 of the FIPG risk manage­ment policy seems directly derived from this. When Ken Tracey. SAE Executive Director. was asked if all fratemiues should have similar risk management policies. he responded "It would be ideal if all fraternities would have the same policy or some­thing close ...

The whole issue stems from the legal aspects which fraternities may have to face regarding liability for damage or other abuse which come about as a direct result of fraternity parties. Ralph Rumsey. counsel for the As ociation of Fraternity Advi­sors says. ''The legal rationale behind strict t·ontrnl seems to be that this is a litigaous society; fraternities will be sued no matter what they do; and therefore it is important for fratemi ·

ties to do as much 2!. they possibly can do to reduce ri~ks and prevent liabality claims." The adoption of the FIPG plan eems to be the answer.

Graduates. alumni, and current members who are used to liberal alco­hol consumption at panics are gener­ally opposed to the changeover, bur underclassmen and younger officers see the value and necessity for the policy. it is supposed that overall. student reaction will be negative. ini­tially. but many fratemitie~ have the notion that "we 'II accept it if everyone else does".

BYOB policies similar to that which WPI has adopted have previ­ously been accepted at such schools as Texas Tech University. the Univer­sity of Oregon, and the University of Kentucky. to name a few.

As you may know.there was vehe­ment opposition to the acceptance of a BYOB policy here for quue some time, until it became evident that if the policy was not adhered to. charters would be revoked by the National Headquarters. This led to the follow­ing alcohol policy:

1. No Common Containers A) A "common container ' is de­

fined as any alcohol which has unrc­tricted public access and or is for the

purpose of mru.~ consumption (i.e. kegs, beer balls, barrels of beeT, etc ... )

2. No Collective Funds A) No collective funds will be al­

lowed for the purpose of purchasing alcohol.

B) No Chapter may sponsor or finance a function where alcohol is purchased for gener.U consumption.

3. Admittance A) Monitors must be at all en­

trances and exits and must consist of at least one initiated member from the fraternity .

B) Monitors will check identifica­tion from all people entering a party. Those in possession of alcohol must prove they are of legal drinking age.

C) All panics must have a guest list that will be checked at the entrance.

D) There can be no exchange of money where alcohol is present.

4. Transportation of Alcohol A) Any alcohol transported from

If any of you are avid otar/electric car hobbyists. and even if you are not, you might be interested in the per­formance characteristics of the Im­pact. Let's begin with the top speed of the car, which is over 100 mph. It can accelerate from zero to sixty miles per hour in 8.0 se.conds- which isn't bad at all even for a pctro-powered ve­hicle. The power to the car is supplied by 32 ten volt lead-acid baueries. Even though the lead acid batteries are not the best choice in ballery as far as storage capacity is concerned, they are much more easily manufactured in

the car every 120 mile~. b replacing the bartene~ every 20000 male!~ at an approxamate cost of$1500. What tha~ all mean~ i~ that the Impact as hmned to being a shon commute vehicle used for goang to and from work. While the battery replacement is costly. the money saved on gas. repairs, tune­up • and regular check ups - due to an almo~t maintenance free car - helps offset some of the coSt for the bauery pack.

The Impact is also an environmen­tally healthy car. It has no carbon monoxide emissions or any other type of emission. The Impact is a major technological breakthrough. and General Motors has talked of mass producing the vehicle in another 3 years. As for the price tag for the Impact, General Motors still has 10

Iraqi foreign minister Atlt an­nounced that Iraq would accept the Soviet's eight point peace plan. However, the allies announced that they were not in favor of the plan, which provisions included all UN Security Council sanctions being dropped, and allowed Iraqi soldiers three weeks to pull out of Kuwai!. In addition, the pullout would not have begun until after a cease fire had been reached. In the White House rose garden on Friday morning, Bu h is­sued an ultimatim that called for the Iraqis to start pulling out of Kuwait by noon (EST) on Saturday. The US ultimatim contains a number of other points - among them, Iraqis mu:.t release all POW!> and give back re­mains of killed soldiers, and disarm all booby traps that have been M:t in Kuwait.

The US began to prepare for a ground war - working with Bnush and other allied forces. artillery began to pound positions inside Kuwait. In one skirmish, over 400 Iraqi troop~ were taken prisoner. On Friday, one US marine was killed, and four were injured by enemy gunfire.

Early in the week, Iraqi laid mines blew holes into the hulls of two US warships in the Persian gulf. Neither ship was sunk, although there wru. extensive damage.

The Saudi government a•d that initial reports on the size of the gulf oil spill were exaggerated, and that only 1.5 million barrels of oil are in the slick. However, Iraqi troops did start several Kuwaiti refineries on fire. fill ­ing the air with thick black smoke. In addition. US forces began using na­palm to start oil on fire in trenches dug by Iraqi troops. The trenches were gomg to be set on fire by the lraq1s if a ground war started to com)>licate allied efforts in a ground offen\lve. The fires were se1 by US force~ so that the oil would be burned off by the time a ground offensive started.

The Real Inspector Hound by Eric Currin News ptalc Staff

Masque put on "The Real Inspector Hound" Thursday, Friday. and Satur­day of last week. The play il> a comedy wrinen by Tom Stoppard. Let me try to explain how the play opens. h opens with Moon (played by Brian McNe­any) and Birdboot (Geoff WaJdin) in bleachers like the audience. They even have a 'The Real Inspector Hound' program. The two tum out to be critics reviewing the play (here '!I where it got really freaky for me as the reviewer). The play they are watching begins with Mrs. Drudge (Donna Roche') appear­ing as a maid. She hears of a crazed killer on the loose in the immediate vicinity. At this point, Simon Gas­coyne (Chad Council), a man fitting the kiJier's description, appears at the scene. It turns out he knows a woman at the house, Felicity Cunningham

(Tracy Clark). with whom he had a romantic relationship 10 the pru.t.

Ounng the play. Cynth1a Muldoon (KaJSD Cadwell). Major Magnul> Muldoon (Andrew Hansford), and Inspector Hound?? (Brian Fennell) all make an appearance. The play goes through stages where Birdboot. the en tic. actually gets in the play and dies. Moon. who sees this. takes the place of Inspector Hound and tries to find out what is going on. He gets killed also. Two critics replace the two that have been killed in the bleachers. Major Magnus turns our to be The Real In­spector Hound?? and Cynthia's long lost husband Alben.

The play was one of the most con­fusing I have reviewed in a long time. I kept expecting that I would step on the stage and get into the play. It was very fast paced at times. and son of slow at others. I hod a hard time hear-

Kajsa Cadwell did a ter­rific job playing the sm1ley. obliv1ous woman who has no clue that she is in trouble or being insulted. Brian McNeany does a groat job a~ n critic, especially as he is psychologically analyzmg the play. GeoffWaldin does a good job as an adultress husband and makes a convincing cri tic. Tracy Clark played a very good conniving type. Chad did a good job as Simon. the susp1cious criminal on the loose. Brian Fennell, as always. did a great job, playing the the Inspector. Andrew Hansford does a good major. and even Rob Rosenblan makes a contributions the Radio Voice.

Overall, the play was funny, though the actors were hard to hear at times. Harold Mackieman did a good job directing this play.

diVInyls (VIrgin Records) Joe: divinyls is arlothcr group that J had heard

of, but never heard their stuff. Their style is just what I would call normal rock.

The first single, " I Touch Myselr'. has been getting airplay, so some of you may know about this song already. This song, as you may infer, is pretty sexually oriented, as are many of the songs on this album. But even if the words were different,this is a good tune. The first side of the album is stronger than the second, but on the whole it is still very good. The core of the band is Christina Amphleu on vocals, Mark McEn­tree on guitar, Randy Jackson on bass, and Charley Drayton on drums & percussion. The don't go out to impre s on their individual talents, but work together to put some good music together. The only thing that kind of bugged me about this album was the way the lead singer breathed. She could use a couple of lessons on proper breathing technique.~. but she still has a really good voice, and it gives the songs an added twist.

The first three songs, "Make Out Alright", " I Touch Myself', and "Lay Your Body Down", are probably the three best songs on the album, but the diVinyls do a good enough job to keep you listening through the whole thing. Tiley use

catchy hooks and the draw of the lead vo1ce very well. and this album manages to be Top 40 material without giving in to the Top 40 for­mula. I liked the almost 70-ish twangy guitar sound they use in "Follow Through". While not being overly innovative, they use it to their advantage, and gencrally,they just rock on, and do a good job. I give this album a 81.

P.S. Ray pointed out to me that In our last review I mentioned how Steve Winwood was one of the few that still used a Hammond Organ, and that the diVinyls use one in n number of songs on this album. I stand corrected .

Ray: My overall a.ssessment of the album sort of matches Joe's. The first side was by far the strongest. I don't think I agree that the album as a whole held my interest,though. The second side had two ballads. both of which were preuy well done, though " I'm On Your Side'' was better. The album did start out great. though - I had never heard the diVinyls either. but was impressed by the variety and catchiness of the songs. As Joe said, the combinations of the guitar hooks and vocals held many of them together, and I found myself singing along and drumming my fingers along to the beat. Am­phlett has the ability to come across sounding very sensual while at other times sounding like an adolescent, and it added a lot to the better songs. On the whole, though, I liked them but wasn't qujte sure wh)> - probably because it was just so different from anything else.

Anyway. " I Touch Myselr' was also one of my favorites (with lyrics like: "1 love myself/1 want you to love me/When I feel down/1 want you above me", how could you not like it?), as was ''Love School" and "Bless My Soul (It '~

Rock-N-Roll). which was a liule harder rocking musically with Amphlett providing an aher­natingly weird or just goofy voice. As I said. though, the second side was pretty disappoint­ing as several songs kind of ran together at this half-speed pace. The album still rates a 73. though.

Peter Gabr iel ''Shaking The Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats" (Geffen Records)

Joe: As many of you may not know, Peter Gabriel was one of the founding members of Genesis (Yes, he was around before the band even heard of Phil Collins). He left in 1975 to follow a solo career. He didn't hit it real big, though, until 1986 when he released So. Butt he point is that he has been around enough to release a greatest hits album.

The story of him deciding to leave the band is chronicled in a bizarre son of way in "Solsbury Hill". the opening track on this al­bum. He then proceeds through a variety of songs, mostly from his last three studio albums. and a smattering of other songs (ranging from Passion and his work with YoJ.Issou N'Dourand a new song). Some of these inclusions are expected. others not. Of course it's going to have "Sledgehammer", ''Shock The Monkey". "Red Rain", "Games Without Frontiers", " Big Time", and "Biko", but he threw in a couple of curves as well. I, personally. would never have expected the inclusion of "Mercy Street", " Don't Give Up'', "San Jacinto", or "Family Snapshot", and would have expected less the exclusion of " In Your Eyes".

I had heard most of the songs before, but I was surprised by a number of things: the Afri­can-ish sound of "Shaking The Tree", the new

remix of"l Have The Touch" (I was used to the album version. and this one just kind of threw me off track. because I don't picture Gabriel as the remix person),the cutting of the first notes of "Sledgehammer", and the brutal slashing of "Shock The Monkey" down from over five minute!> to a three-plus minute single version.

Overall the collection flows well together and gives a preuy decent cross section of Gab­riel's career. I was a bit surprised because there are no songs from his second album (here's another bit of trivia, Gabriel's first three albums, and son of the fourth, are all titled simply Peter Gabriel, so don't be confused, you have to identify them by the pictures on the cover). I figured they would include D.I.Y .. anyway, but I'm not a record exec ... I was also impressed by the repenoire of people that he has worked with over the years, including Phil Collins, Stewan Copeland (formerly the drummer for The Po­lice), and Kate Bush. This guy knows his per­formers (which leads me to ask why he is or was seeing Rosanna Arquette. but who am Ito say?). I give this a 90, (but keep in mind that I'm a Gabnel fan).

Ray: I don 't listen to Peter Gabriel, but I put it in a few times to give it a shot. I found myself fast-forwarding to the three songs I know well, "Sledgehammer", " Big Time" and "Shock the Monkey", as well as "Solsbury Hill", which I had never heard before but enjoyed. Other than that. I couldn't get into it at all. so my opinion doesn't really mean anything. Come to think of it , our opinions never really mean anything - we only write this because it takes up space and we get to keep the tapes to listen to in the office.

EDITORIAL

A positive vote for the new constitution Members of the Student Government Association

created a new constitution because they felt that the old one was ineffective, and that they were not fulfilling their role of supporting the students. making their concerns known. and accomplishing their own objec­tives. The proposed constitution provides for better representation of every organization, club. club sport, and individuaJ student. Better representation, along with the new senator system. which will ensure that all members are motivated, will produce a much more effective Student Government.

Concerns about the termination of the Student Activities Board can be alleviated with a close examina­tion of Article II in the proposed by-laws. Section 2 of Article II states that "the Funding Group Budget Committee shall consist of 7 SGA Assistant Treasurers. and Represenuuives from the following Funding Groups: Academically Affiliated Groups, Campus Service Groups, Club Sport Groups, International Student Groups. Music Groups. Religious Groups and Special Interest Groups." Therefore each group that

was formerly represented at SAB meeting will still be represented, and in a much more organized fashion.

The present SGA unaminously approved this new constitution, and the proposed by-laws. but the new constitution will not become legitimate until it has been approved by a campus wide vote. This is your chance to become active, to let your opinions be known, and to increase the entire students' voice on campus. Vote tommorow between !O:OOam and 2:00pm in Daniel's mailroom.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WPI bowling lanes to close at the end of C Term To the Editor:

Thursday morning, February 21. an atrocity happened on campus. Will Lussier. bowling lanes manager. was informed thai ne was being termi­nated and the bowling lanes were being shut down permanently. What is even worse about this whole event is that this will occur at the end of C­Term. February 28.

I nave a few questions as I write this. First, 1 know tlla! college is a business, yet it is abominable that they tell someone one week in ad­vance that they will be terminated. If someone is going to quit, it is a tradi­tion that they give two weeks notice in order to find a replacement.

When it was announced that budget cuts were going to happen, it was stated that they were in areas that would affect the least number of stu­dents. Many should wonder what will bappen to intrnmurals or to physical

education classes. Also. what about all tile students who would visit on Friday night?

People who near that WPI has bowling lanes are shocked. There are few schools in the natjon who have them and even fewer of the si1e of WPI. This is something that attracted some members of tile bowling team, as well as myself. What if the school took out the Fire Safety Program, one of the few in tile nation?

I feel that it is important that people know about Will. When I came to WPI. I could throw tile ball and knock down pins. but tbat is not bowling. Bowling is when you know now LO roll the ball. and you know where tile ball is going because of how you threw it. Since September. Will has worked with me step by step. never with a bad word, always smiling and saying "just practice." Finally, after so many changes, I feel comfon­able and I know what I'm doing.

Alpha Phi Omega would ltke to thank the WPI community for its generous suppon of our Servant Auc­tion on February 12. We raised over $500 for a local charity. Wanda Glea­son, the servant who went for the most money {$60), picked the Friendly House Shelter as the charity recipient.

At dinner last night. people contin­ued to ask me wily I was so depressed. Aner people recovered from this shock of this nord-hilling blow. I heard many comments. The one that struck me the most was from a girl who told me that she was throwing 20's and after Will helped her, he threw a 160.

Fun in the sun for spring break WPI Htalth Strvices

The term is almost over and for some tile FUN is about to begin... or is it? Students from all over will be nocking 10 the beaches and anywhere else to get in the un. Por some students the main objecttve of pring break is to get a tan. Whattney don't realize is that with exposure to the sun without sufficient protection they stand a chance of being one of the over 500.000 new cases of skin cancer reponed this year.

Everyone is at risk but people who sunburn easily and have fair skin with red or blond llatr are most prone to develop skin cancer. The less melanin tile skin produces when e~tposed to

sunhgllt. the less natural protection it has. So, those who rarely or never tan or tend to bum easily are more suscep­tible to skin cancer.

The good news is that everyone can still enjoy the beach, sun and fun if they adhere to the following guide­lines 1.e1 forth by the American Cancer Society:

• A void peak hours, sun rays are the strongest between II a.m. and 2 p.m., due to the amount of ultraviolet rays produced during that time. You can get burned on a cloudy day and the sun's rays can reach down intO three feet of water.

• Avoid being out in the sun if you are taking ccn,tin medications (Check with your physician regarding which

ones) or using antibacterial skin preparations as they make the skin more susceptible to burning.

• Use sunscreens to help prevent skin cancer as well as premature aging of your skin. Sunscreens are products which absorb ultraviolet light before it reaches your skin and they are rated accordmg to how much protection they offer. The SPF (sun protection factor) of your sunscreen should be at least 15.

To help you enjoy your spring break the WPI Health Service is mail­ing to all students a brochure entitled "Fry Now and Pay Later" and a sample of Bullfrog Sunblock. Please heed the advice and nave a sun~safe break.

Europe: A Review . "Kinder Uberraschungen"

by S hown Zimmernum Newsptolc Staff

Lesen und aufbewahren: SPIEL· ZELG FUR KINDER UNTER 5 JAHREN NICHT GEEIGNET. DA DIE KLEINEN TEJLE VER· SCHLUCKT ODER INHALIERT WERDEN KONNIEN:

These are the words which con· front you, like a special message from God, every time you panake in the opening of a Kinder Uberraschung, or Kinder Egg. It 's a lso written in Eng­lish, Spanish, Italian. Dutch, French, and for alii can tell. in Serbo Croatian as well. God's messages are multil in· gual, and I'm hear today to relate one to you in English, with just a little bit of German thrown in to make it seem like I'm doing more than sucking down chocolate and enormous. 55 gallon drums of Swiss schnapps. But enough of that. it's now time for my tale of shame, as well as how I escaped the eternal hellfire of addiction, and how you too can· achieve the same result without having to dial one of those 900 numbers.

Friends. I was a junky. I admit it . I wouldn't have admined it then, as 1 strolled down the path to Hell while chugging down Pez. Two, maybe three, pack~ a day. My parents dis­owned me. my grades suffered, sweet old ladies spit on me, and dogs piddled on me. and still J couldn't admit that those attractively disembodied heads regurgitating magic wnf~rs into my sweating palms were a problem. Still , I rummaged through candy stores searching desperate ly for the fabled "Michael Dukakis shows an Emo­tion" dispen~rs. Even when I was forcibly ejected from the country, I couldn't accept the fact that my Pez ,

dependency was the cause of all my problems.

But they don't sell Pez in Europe. • The meager supply that I'd managed

to smuggle out of the country in my shoes dwindled rapidly until soon all I had left was the miling visage of Santa Claus cheerily mocking me 10

his emptiness. I wasn' t defeated that easily. of course. Not satisfied with searching Germany, I quickly toured the rest of Europe. continually offend­ing Europeans in my single-minded pursuit of Paz. But finally I gave up and despondently admitted. to my problem.

And then, on a beach in Southern France, 1 found God. (Note: God is most frequently found on beautiful beaches at sunset, on high, lonely mountains. or two minutes nfter find· ing our how pitifully unprepared you really are for that crucial EE final .} In this particular instance, God took the form of a small chocolate egg. (Note: this is the same beach that Picasso suddenly realized that the less his paintings looked like anything even remotely comprehensible, the more wildly popular they would be.) Not just any small. chocolate egg, but a hollow one. And inside this hollow small, chocolate egg is a small plastic egg. inside o f which are tiny pieces of plastic, which,m when assembled properly. took the form of a small toy of surprising complexity. (Note: this is absolutely the last note in parenthe· scs that I'll have. I promise.) I knew as soon as I assembled my first toy. a tiny soccer player that actually kicks the ball. that at last my long search for pe<~ce and enlightenment had come to an end.

There is a highly Zen quality to the opening of a Kinder Egg. One seats

oneself in a comfortable pose. pref· erably the Lotus position, and empties one's mind of extraneous thoOghts. After carefully peeling the foil off. the chocolate must be eaten before open­ing the toy.elseone will be doomed to spend the. rest of Eterni ty as a Pez dispenser. Only after this small ritual can one open the plastic capsule and discover the surprise. As with all things in life. these surprises come in several varying degrees of coolness, depending on your karma levels utthe moment.

But most prizes lie somewhere in the middle of two very extreme ex­tremes. Lillie motorcycles with ny­wheels to make them go forever, ice hockey players that send the puck Oying, model helicopters that Oy, these are just a few of the keen stuff you can get. The best one that l've actually gonen is a tiny camera with lense that contains a short Mickey Mouse nick. <Mini-review time: this film, Mickey sees Stars, is a classic example of the genre. It combines the intellectual curiosity of Mickey gaz· ing joyfully at the big dipper with the pathos of Pluto begging to be taken for a walk. And ski llfully interwoven with that is the chase scene where Pluto chases the cut, drugging Mr. Mouse along. willy-nilly, until the final climatic. surprise ending when Mick collides with the telephone pole and as the title puts it so succinctly. ''Sees Stars ... This film is definitely a must see. but don't bnng your chil· dren unless they are mature enough to witness the graphic KONK sound effect without becoming deeply emo· tionally scarred. Join me next week when I'll review the Jaff-a-minute riot "Mickey Gets Mauled.">

What could be more solid, more constant, more unchanging than the earth and the rocks under our feet, right? In our short lifetimes. yes, but in the eons of eanh-time, no way. Rocks melt. now. reform, harden, weather. erode. crack. crystallize. and cycle endlessly. It is where rock meets air. air meet$ water, water meets rock, and light shines down on all. that atoms are exchanged, change is rampant, and life springs forth . The three fundamental elements • earth, alf, and water • are continually ex· changing material and showing that each is insurficaent to sustain a diver­sity of life without the others.

In the c losed system that is our planet, matter cycles between earth, air. and water wi th the aid of the energy of the sun. If we could con­dense the earth's 4.5 bilhon year his· tory into an hour-long feature film, we would see oceans rising and falling. continents tearing apart, oc.eans form· ing, continents colliding. atmos­pheres changing. And if, in this hour­long feature film. we could label se· lect atoms with a tracer and follow their progress over the years. what we'd see would resemble the streaks of a time-lapse photogrc~ph of a street sa:ne at midnight. with the atoms streaking quickly and lightly through the air; entering a lillie more heavily int.o water, plants. and animals; and spending a lot of time heavy in earth and rocks before being liberated into the atr and water once again.

A carbon atom would voyage widely and freely around the planet as

pan of a gaseous molecule of carbon dio1tide. until it chanced to fall low to the ground and encounter a green leaf. Here. if sufficient water, soil nutri· ents. and light energy were present. the carbon would be sucked through the lears stomates and incorporated into a sugar. This sugar could be put into storage in the leaf. or travel to the roots or a berry, where it might remain for a few hours or a few days until an animal chanced to pass by and eat at the leaf or the fruit of the plant. A bird on migration might carry that carbon molecule across hemispheres, or a whale, having ingested tiny green plankton. might traverse oceans with the carbon. Thic; carbon. at the death of the whale. might fall to the ocean noor a~ pan of the skeleton. Sill. sand, and other panicles would scule on top of it over the years; eventually the whole conglomerate would knit together and harden to form rock, becoming part of an oceanic plate moving. perhaps. on a collision course with a continental plate. The carbon atom would be pushed beneath the continent with the rest of the lead· lng edge of the ocean noor: at such high temperatures and pressures, the rock would become plastic, maybe even melting and be10g extruded up onto the earth's surface as lava, where n would harden. Many years of cold, wind. and weathering would reduce the rock to fragments, and the carbon atom would be free for the erosive force of water to wash away into a stream. river, or ocean. or it may remain in the topsoil to enrich a new genenuion of plants.

Those plants will take up a mole· cule of water from the soil , and the light hilling the chlorophyll within the green leaves will supply energy to begin the process by which the water as 01t1dized to hydrogen and oxygen. That oxygen will be released through the leaves 10t0 the wr. where we can breathe and incorporate it into our bodies. Or that oxygen can travel

wide and high through the atmosphere and be convened to ozone. protecting the life below it from mutagenic ultra­violet radiation and giving the sky its blue color.

We can see, then. that essentially every bit of maller contained on our planet today is the same stuff that was here at whatever creation one chooses to believe in. It ts only the organiza· lion of the matter that ha~ changed, evolving from an early atmosphere of hydrogen gas to all the forms of earth and rock. water, and plant and animal life that we find today Those very arne atoms of the Big Bang that

fomted our earth have travelled through space and time and are now wuhin our bodies. And the>e atoms within our bodies. whach we have borrowed momentarily from the earth, may later become pans of birds, plants, whales, or rock'! on the ocean Ooor. What a fascinating thing it is that humans can bring intelligence, character. and ideas to the~e odd collections of atoms that are our bod· ies.

How can death be conceived to be a horrible end. when 11 is ~uch a beau· tiful start for our atoms to scatter across the planet and become nowers. whales. mountains. and birds?

Operation Desert Storm equals Desert Disaster

by Gary McCaslill Worcester A no Ctunpus Ministry

Preface: these lhoughts were writ· ten as the United States was in the formal process of rejecting the Soviet Peace Proposal and threatening to stan a ground assault to liberate Kuwait on Saturday, 23 February 1991. If that ground offensive does indeed take place, my s uggeMion is that the above name be adopted for the venture just as the name was changed from Operation Desert Shield to Operation Desert Storm when the bombing began.

It '~> going 10 have to get worse before it gets be11er. but in the end I think the war in the Persian Gulf will be the "war to end all war11." That was the affectionate title gaven to World War I in the first part of this century. The problem is that each generation forgets or becomes numb to the hor· rors of the war and manufactures an enemy which again must be hated. Th1s hate stirs Amencan people 10 raise high the nag of patnotism and enables them to be willing to kiJI 10 order to preserve the American way of life.

But this war may allow us to stop the cycle of forge11ing war horrors and leamang to hate. This war may. once and for all, elch in our p!>yches a horror about war that will not be for· go11en in generations to come. The Jnpan~se. who currently have a greater dependence on foreign oil than the United States. have not made a serious war commilment and it 's no surpnse. Their war stories have in· fected even the present generation and they are not about to get involved in such folly. (The Japanese are proba­bly busy at work in their research and design laboratories devising al terna­tives to fossil fuel and will no doubt make a financial killing when we are crippled with rebuilding after the Persian Gulf War.)

The war in the Gulf wall provide no soluuons for the injustices of the re­g ion or in the world. I will give you any picture you want for how the war will be won. I wHI grant any condi· tions and concede any requirement to match a post war picture you wish to con~trucL And no mauer how it is structured you will have to grant me I ) none of the polilical, economic or rehgaous conflicts of the region will have been addressed rea.,onably and 2) there will be more hate ,toward the United States than there existed be· fore bombing began. Even if the American people reali1ed those tow truths. at would not be enough to end aJI wars.

For this to really be a war to end all wars. the species will fiN have to s imply survive this current conflict and that will not be easy. We will have to endure the massive loss of ground troops when mothers, fathers. sons. daughters, husbands, wives, brothers. sisters and besl fnends of all 0\lr families charge across a hne in the sand, commanded to kill Iraqis in order to free Kuwait and have their fragile bodies tom apart so that their life·g1v10g blood drains out and pools before returning to the earth. The lost hves and devastated famalies will have to number in the thousands.

And somewhere, a spokesperson

for all the dead will rise up and say the War was not worth it ·Couldn't we have found a beuer way? We will never choo e war ever again. We will die first. Those spokespeople will be heard but not heeded because there is another necessary step before we get to that point of saying no to war. We will also have to endure the use of nuclear bomb:..

The card i~ almost dealt now. Bush and Hussean have both held true to al l their promises. Hussein said he would not back down to any deadline and on Christmas Day he threatened to bomb Israel. He has done both. We have every reason to believe that he will fight to the death and use chemical weapon before he dies. Bush has followed through on all his promises to wage war and in addition has prom· ised a short war and no draft . After the mnssive losses of an Allied ground assault World War n logic will creep into our thinking: IN ORDER TO SAVE FURTHER LOSS OF AMERI­CAN LIVES. WE WJLL USE OUR NUCLEAR WEA PONS. WE WARNED HUSSEIN AND HE CHOSE THIS.

And for this to really be the war to end all wa!'l>. the devastation will have to be so widespread that no Iraqi cen· sor could ever be accused of stagmg a propaganda event in order to sway the emotion of the American people. Pictures of a bombed Baghdad will be placed alongside of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the final reality of war will fall down, down. down and secure itself in the deepest recess of our souls and anstead of being buried it will blossom an each of us forcing us to never agaan choose war. The ideal of the peacemakers and all the great re· ligions wil l creep into our Jives; not as ideals but a'> the only way to exio;t in a world where every human soul is sacred and the weapons too insane to even consider. Our commitment will be o strong that an option for war will never again be exercised.

The radiation from Baghdad's bombs will travel over India, Paid· stan, Chinn, and Japan, across the Pacific and into the United States. The horrors of massive cancer out­breaks in the US ®d around the world resulting from the bomb\ dropped a half a world away will nunure the growing consciousness of the futility of such extreme violence to rc~olving connict in a tiny fragile global village.

With the massive one/two punch of families broken and suffering added to the hell of the effects of nuclear weapons. we will begin to build a world watho~!t war as an option. But first we have to s urvive and that will take more than doing our busmess as usual. It will take a spiritual renewaJ as we begin to see all life as sacred and all fighting as pure folly.

I would love to see t11e actions of the coming days prove me wrong. Pray for peace.

Christian Bible Fello\\-ship

Only 3 days until break! Over the last severn I weeks. we have looked at what the Bible says about God's purpose for people. Let 's ~>umma­rize:

I) God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life. (John 3:16. John 10: 10)

2) Man isSrNFULand SEPARATED from God. Thus he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life. (Romans 3:23, 6:23)

3) Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life. (Romans 5:8. I Corinthians 15:3-6, John 14:6)

4) We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives. (John I : 12, 3:1-8. Ephesians 2:8-9. Rev.

~ 3:20) What does it mean to "receive" Jesus Chnst?

Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our live to forgive our sms and to make us the kind of people He wants us to be. Just to agree inteiJectuaJJy that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross forourstns is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an

NEWSPEAK Tuesday February 26, 1991

emotional expencnce. We receive Jesus Chnst by faith. as an act of the will.

YOU CAN RECEIVE CHRIST RIGHT NOW BY FAITH THROUGH PRAYER!

God knows your heart and is not so con­cerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your hean. The following is a suggested prayer:

" Lord Jesus, I need you. Thank you for dying on the eros for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be."

If this has been your decision and your prayer, Jesus has just come into your life and you have received eternal life! (John 5:24) We'd encourage you to contact CBF in o rder to help you stan the exciting adventure that is the Christian life! Have a super spring break!

This week's meeting was held almost en­tirely in the Harrington Auditorium bleachers because we were again locked out. Although this sounds unfonunate, Rich demonst.mted an awe inspiring set of 360 dunks down on the coun while the MIT Engineers were warming up for their head on collision with the WPI En­gineers (didn'tljust say that). RHC challenged them 10 a game after the game but they declined our offer.

During the meeting we discussed the details relating to the RHC Activities Day, which is coming up in 0-Tenn. Things are looking good and we're hoping for an excellent turnout. For all of you who will cramming for finals this Monday and Tuesday, there will be free coffee and cookies in the Wedge and in Founders to satisfy your cravings for sugar and caffeine. Those of you 'sat the meeting, the voting major­ity, voted unanimously, that those members who did not attend the meeting, although we could feel their spiritual presence, will be treat· ing us to dinner at Angela's on Saturday March 23. Stan saving your pennies.

There may or may not be a meeting tomor­row but you will have received a newsletter by the time you have read this. By the way, meet· ings are in Harrington Conference Room at4:30 on Wednesdays unless otherwise noted. Try not to get lost in the vast expanse of the WPl campus. Until next time • PIAC.

Well as we aJilmow. spring break is coming up. I am sure that all of us are anxiously awaiting the time off and all the tnps we are planning. This is just a reminder that while you are panying and having the time of your life. don't forget to think about what could happen if you leave yourself in a compromising position. There are as many horror stories about what happened to poor"Sally" over break as there are g rains of sand on Daytona Beach. Just watch out for yourself. If you know your situation. you are

much less likely to regret it later. We all want you back safe and \Qund, so have the time of your life. but make sure that you are bemg SMART.

Students ror Social A~areness

As much 10 the spirit of young Matthew Salinger. age 3. offering a cool lima bean 'to a lunchtime companion. as possible, I offer to all of WPI the following:

Novu~ Ordo Seclorum, a New Order of the Ages fort he Students for Social Awareness. We are tiring of our homogeneous community, and we desire the diversity necessary for healthy thought. Therefore, we would like to propose a fundamental restructuring of our group. At the next meeting, location and time to be announced in the next issue of Neuspiejk and in the SSA newsletter. we will be reviewing our venerable and oft-ignored consLitutjon and considering any and all s uggestions from the general atten­<lance on the subject of the future of our club.

At the last meeting, on Thursday, the 22nd, we discussed many suggestions for our future. A motion to have a speaker come to our regular meetings was met with great enthusiasm, as was the idea of our sponsoring of a film series in the new Gompei's Pub to stanD-Term. We wish to encoumge the general population of WPI to come to our discussions and especially to our video presentations in the Pub. It was decided that this would aid in the disseminating of social information around campus. and thus to im­prove the general atmosphere of our school.

So, come to our next meeting with sugges­tions for the new, improved Students for Social Awareness. Even if you have never attended any of our meetings before, even if you have never left your donn room, please come and offer your ideas. It will probably be in the lovely, commuting-student lounge overlooking Freeman Plaza on the first noor of the WPI Humanities Complex at 7:00pm on Thursday. the 2 1st of March.

We are now in the "gee it 's funny that no sen­iors have jobs yet!" humor phase, but in about three weeks they'll be in the "Ob God, we don't have jobs yet!!" panic phase, and following that, all underclass bros will experience the " I can' t believe that we have to deal with these guys for another year!" despair phase. Truthfully though, with one term left, (maybe) we are all going to miss these seniors. Let's fumble 'em while we can. The lame ducks have Oown, and now the reins change hands to the new officers. The only drawback is that we've lost about 6 fl of height compared to the old crew! I hope everyone has a good break, beach girls beware.

For tho\e brother.. who don't •.now already, prepare yourselr for a good laugh. Grimm has decided to back up his talk with action. The "Greek God'' will be posing in a bodybuilding con­test on April27. lt'sO.K. to laugh, but don't laugh in his face. He already feels like he doesn't get any respect so try not to hurt his feelings even more. I don't think everyone realizes how seri­ous Grimm is about this. The fat piece of trash has been dieting for the past few weeks though it seems like months to him. He insists that he's been strict. but I've seen a couple of crackers and some popcorn finding their way above his double chin. With spring break coming up,l wonder ifhe'll cheat. {We all know I am not talking about Ch­eryl). Well, Good luck Grimm. I just hope you don't become the laughing stock of the school.

Well, we did 11. Once agam we puled off nn outstanding Beach party. The sand was warm. the band was loud and the beer was canned. Almost as fun as the beach party was the party in Dicky's room Sunday morning. Tooz and Hal, a.k.a the Stud Brothers had an interesting Tuesday night. Do you two share everything? Conkey made sure to lock up his harem while he went down to drink. Tom: lick my balls! Here's a little crotch algebra lesson. Dwight plus Nancy equals NO! What do Jim, Tom, Dicky and Zippo have in common? Maybe a better question is who is next?

So far ticket sales are going good. Don't forget that Miracle Mile is March 23. If everything goes well we should make a killing and feel damn good about doing it. Pledges once again had a lame raid. (Imagine that)

Everyone is psyched for another Spring Break. Datuna Bitch? Thun­derbird? Great Banier? Who can say this year. Next stop 0 -Term.
