"One of them pointed a gun atmy head and said I should givethem my money," he continued.Gong handed over his wallet, whichcontained five dollars and a fewcredit cards. "My wife didn't haveany money, so they took my jacketand watch," he said. Gong addedthat he was unsure of the value ofthe jacket and watch because theyhad been purchased in China sometime ago.
Gong said he thought the robberssaw the other two students andmoved away from he and his wife."Wbhen th~ey turned away, wewalked to the police station. Whenwe got there, [the police] knewabout it already," he added.
Four people were robbed at gun-point Wednesday night in twoclosely related incidents near theNuclear Reactor Laboratory(NW12), the Campus PoliceannouncedI yesterday.
Cambridge police records, how-ever, show that there were onlythnree victims.
None of the victims, one of whomwas a student's wife, were injured.The other victims were students.

I rodae both Safe Ride routesfrom 8 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. on Wed-naesday. The following is an accountof my experiences mingled withinforhmation about tihe Safe. Ride:system.
8 p.m.: I arrived at 77 Mass-achtuseu~s Ave., w~here there werpe afew people already waiting. Oneperson said he had alreadly beentherefor about 20 mninutes.
In its first year of operation,about 25,000 people used A SafeRide, according to Glavin. FromJanuary to August 1992, there havealready been more than 31,000 rid-ers, she said. She estimated thattotal ridership will exceed 50,000 bythe end8 of the year.
"It's been a big success, but thepresent Safe Ride system is a victimof its own success," Glavin said.
This "suggests that we wouldhave needed to do sometahing any-way to expand capacity," said Dir-ector of Special Services Stephen D.]mmmermanas. "The Raustein murderwas a catalyst in many ways. It ele-vated the visibility of the issue."
Glavin said that the growth of ASafe RidBe was foreseen from its out-set. Many of the complaints cited ina recent safety review parallel theproblems that were expected, shesaid.
8:05 p.m.: Trhe Boston vanarrives and picks u~p 10 people onTheir wfay to the various Bosloon liv--ing group~s.
Th[7e first An Safe Ride van startedits nighttime runs in April, 1991. Itran as an on-call service, relievingthe overburdened police escort ser-vice which had preceded it. TheSafe Ride van serviced students inBoston and Cambridge living groups.
The first van cost $20,000 andwas paid for by the Department ofHousing and Food Services. Theprovost's office covered the opera-tional costs, including the drivers'salaries. MWIT Campus Police pro-vided radio eqluipment and dispatch-ers.
By September, plans werealready being being made to add asecond van and create two separate,fixed routes. Estimates showed thatthe Cambridge route would take 21minutes and the Boston route wouldtake 466 minutes.
IhI November, a second on-demaand van was added to reducewaiting times, which was particular-ly important because some of thewaiting areas were not safe.
By early December, the tworoutes were set in their current con-figuration.

In the September issue of theMIT Faculty Newsletter, AssociateDean for Undlergraduate Aca~demicAffairs Travis R. ~Merritt criticizedMIT's current attitude towardl cheat-ing. "We remark with concern aperceived increase in cheating. Welament the collapse of honestyamong our youth, and wonder aloudhow prob>ity can survive the corro-sive influence of our society'sdeplora~ble values," he wrote.
Merritt continued, "We shouldaddress in the most concrete termssuch questions as these: Cabn we find~ways consistent with maintaininghigh standards of academic rigor toreduce a sense of relentless pressureand overload which drives our stu-dents to cheat? Can we make crystalclear to students in our classes pre-cisely which kinds of collaborativeteaming are permissible (and evenlaudable) on homework, and whichones are not?"
Panelist Arun R. Patel '93 said,"I don't know whether cheating isrampant, but I know that it doeshappen, because people have toldme either that they've done it or that
they know of people who have doneit. Since I know only a small popu-lation of all MIT students, Iwouldn't be able to judge how muchof a problem cheating is."
"All that I hope will come of thecolloquium is that people become:more aware of the need for integrityin personal conduct. I would like tosay that people will come out of itwanting an honor code, but that willprobably not happen. From the col-loquium, all we can ask for really isto make people aware of the factthat honesty and integrity are crucialin life, and if theyl are not thingspeople think about, they should be."
Colloquium panelists willinclude Shirley A. Jackson PhD '73of AT&T Bell Laboratories,President of the Massachusetts BarAssociation Mlargaret Mai-shall,Rutgers University ProfessorDonald L.

An MIT colloquium, "Successand/or Honesty: 'In Here, OutThere," will be held Wednesday,October 21 in Kresge Auditorium toaddress the issue of cheating at MITand in the workplace.

Following their arraignments in Middlesex Superior Court thisweek, the three suspects in the stabbing death of Yngve K. Rausltein'94 are now being held without bail. At the arraignments, they plead-ed not guilty.
Before the arraignment, a Middlesex grand jury had chargedJoseph D. Donovan, Shon McHugh1, and Aalfredo Velez with murder.Donovan anrd Velez were also indicted on two counts of armed rob-bery each.
The judge decided that the defendants be held without bail. Hisdecision was based in part on a new Massachusetts statute allowingjudges to consider the threat a suspect may pose to society when set-ting bail, said Jill Reilly, spokesperson for the Middlesex CountyDistrict Attorney's Office.
DolnovanB, 17, and Velez, 18, were arraigned on Wednesday. Theyare still being held in Cambridge jail. Originally, they were held on$1 million surety or $100,000 cash bail. Their next pre-trial confer-ence is schedluled for Nov. 4.

The National Science Foundation Thursday issued a scathingindictment of the mathematics and science tests used to evaluate mostAmerican students, saying they distort the way those subjects aretaught, stress almost none of-the subject areas thought by educationalexperts to be most important, and may have adverse impact on thedevelopment of minority students.
l he study, funded by NSF and conducted by the Center for theStudy of Testing, Evaluation and Educational Policy at BostonCollege, consisted of two parts. Among the key findings:
-Tests often neglect key subject areas. In math, for example,number systems and number theory were overemphasized, whileprobability, measurement, algebraic thinking and geometry wereunderemphasized. In science, physics was "serious(ly) neglected."
-Tests stress the wrong kind of thinking. In mathematics, only 3percent of the items on both standardized and textbook-based testssampled what the researchers called "high level conceptual knowl-edge." The rest, they said, emphasize rote recall of information, basiccomputation and use of formulas in routine problems.

year-olds. But experts say that'sonly one measure of the trends indrug use and arguably not the mostmeaningful: a Senate JudiciaryCommittee study released earlierthis year, for instance, estimatedthat the number of hard-corecocaine and heroin addicts hasincreased by 3 million since 1988.
Bush was correct when he said thefirst negative ad in the campaignhad been aired by Clinton _ anattack on Bush's economic recordthat first appeared in late September.But he was on shakier ground. whenhe swiped at the "reckless spendingCongress"; in fact, the HouseCommittee on Appropriations hascalculated that Bush over his termhas requested slightly more moneyin total spending than Congress hasactually appropriated.
Bush asserted that during his pres-idency 43 or 44 countries "havegone democratic, no longer totalitar-ian, no longer living under a dicta-torship or Communist rule."
The accuracy of the definitiondepends on how one defines ademocracy. It is true that during thelast four years more than 40 coun-tries have held some form of multi-party election for the first time orbeen liberated from the Sovietempire - including the 15 republicsof the former Soviet Union itselfand eight newly free nations ofEastern Europe. j
Bush also apparently was count-ing several Latin American coun-tries moving toward democracy,including El Salvador, Nicaraguaand Panama, and more than a dozenAfrican nations that have taken thefirst steps toward political pluralism.
It remains to be seen, however,whether any or all of these nationswill emnerge as full-fledged democ-racies _ with- vigorous p-olitical
competition, institutionalizedhunan rights and independent judi-ciaries.
After an uncharacteristicallyvague performance in the -firstdebate, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clintonreverted to the role he often playedin the Democratic primaries: "theanswer man" with a list of pro-grams and statistics for every ques-tion.
Clinton's parade of facts mostlymarched in a straight line.
Clinton actually understated thecase when he said a bipartisan com-mission said his health care propos-als would save the average family$1,200 a year (they estimated thesavings at more than $1,300); asClinton said in the debate, that com-mission estimated Bush's planwould leave 27 million Americansuninsured by the year 2000. About35 million Americans now lackhealth insurance, as Clinton said.
But Clinton may have slightlyoverstated his case in one of the fewjabs aimed at Perot. Clinton saidthat the billionaire's deficit reduc-tion plan would ''make unemploy-ment bad for four more years."
His assertion is supported by anumber of economic forecasters,who say that, depending on the con-dition of the economy when thePerot plan is implemented, it couldworsen the unemployment picturefor a number of years before anybenefits would be achieved.
Perot also omitted some relevantfacts. When he complained aboutlobbyists ''running up and down thehalls" of Congress, he didn't men-tion that as head of Electronic DataServices, his former company, heaggressively sought to influencegovernment policy in Washington,and in states whe're he bid for con-tracts; he often employed lobbyistshimself.

The Securities and Exchange Commission ordered corporationsThursday to provide shareholders with easy-to-understand reports onthe compensation of top executives and opened the door for easierchallenges to management policies.
The new rules, adopted after more than two years of study, are asignificant expansion of shareholder rights. The measures take effectagainst a backdrop of public revulsion at excessive executive pay andcomplaints of entrenched corporate managements.
"These sweeping reforms pave the way for shareholders to takeback their companies," said Ralph V. Whitworth, president of theUnited Shareholders Association, a stockholder-rights group based inWashington.
A rising chorus of complaints about huge salaries, bonuses andstock options provided to managers of corporations - often poorlyperforming ones - led the SEC's approval of the directive to makebetter disclosure of the pay, bonuses and other compensation of topexecutives.
The SEC, embracing the philosophy that informed shareholdersare the best judges of corporate conduct, stopped short of grantingstockholders the privilege of approving executive compensation. Butit is making it much easier for stockholders to learn about it.

It was back to the straight and nar-row when the three presidential con-tenders met for their second debateThursday night.
After Tuesday evening's wild vicepresidential debate - wh ich wasmarked by questionable assertionsand outright misrepresentations -the men on the top of the, ticketstayed close to the facts Thursdaynight, just as they did in their firstencounter last Sunday.
For the most part, President Bush,Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton andindependent Ross Perot accuratelycharacterized their own programsand those of their opponents. Someassertions were debatable_ in mostcases more for what they left outthan what they put in. On that front,Bush was probably the worstoffender - though none of hisremarks rose to the level of capitalcrimes.
For example, Bush took credit fora huge six-year $150 billion trans-portation bill approved by Congressin 1991; Bush did sign the bill, butonly after Congress rejected anadministration alternative thatwould have spent less money.
As he has throughout the cam-paign, Bush accused Clinton ofproposing a $150 billion taxincrease. That's only partially true:Clinton's plan does contain $150billion in new taxes_- but also pro-poses about $100 billion in offset-ting tax cuts for middle-class fami-lies and business.
Bush also took credit for a 60 per-cent decline in drug use amongteen-agers. Indeed, last August, theNational Household Survey on DrugAbuse showed a, 64 percent declinein cocaine use among 12- to 17-

Ina letter Tuesday toSessions, Terwilliger asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation direc-tor to comment on the Office of Professional Responsibility's recom-mendation.

Clinton campaign chairmanMickey Kantor said that theDemocratic nominee came across'strong and confident_ ready to bepresident," while Bush scored "nohits and no runs."
Democratic Party Chairman RonBrown, picking up the baseballmetaphor, said Bush ''needed ahome run here; I think he struckout. '
Both Republicans and Democratsgave low marks 'to Perot, who gotgreat reviews after the first debate.
Stephanopoulos told reporters thatPerot ''kind of wore thin," whileBond said that the Texas tycoonsounded like he had ''nothing newto offer."
Perot aides acknowledged thattheir candidate's answers weren't ascrisp and focused as they were inthe first debate, when so manyviewers believed he had won thenight.
A CBS-New York Times surveyreleased Thursday put Clinton in thelead with 47 percent to Bush's 34percent and Perot -trailing at IO per-cent_- no change from its poll 10days ago.
Republicans cited the latest ABCNews and USA Today-CNN-Galluppolls that show the Democrat failingup to five points over the past week.The ABC poll, taken Tuesday andWednesday (after the vice presiden-tial debate), shows Clinton leadingBush 44 to 37 percent with Perot atI1I percent. The Democrat peakedover the weekend with 49 percentwhile Bush was at 35 percent
Not surprisingly, deputy Bush-
Quayle campaign manager JamesLake focused on the apparent dipl inClinton's ABC and USA Today-CNN-Gallup support, saying:''Watch for it to continue. We knowhis negatives are building signifi-cantly. The fact is that the characterand trust issues are beginning toreally tell."

All three candidates showed thatexpertise as they strode around atemporary stage built atop a basket-ball floor and under the Universityof Richmond Spiders' scoreboard.

Bush, as president, descended byhelicopter, flying the 100 milessouthward from the White House toRichmond aboard the chopper thatonly he is permitted to claim asMarine One.
Clinton, as the confident chal-lenger, rolled in by bus, rumblingdown the highway from nearbyWilliamsburg where he had holedup in virtual silence to protect hisvoice and avoid injury to his lead inthe polls.
And Perot, as Texas maverick, jet-ted in by private plane, accompa-nied by neither reporters nor han-dlers, seemingly confident that hecould steal the show by force of per-sonality alone.
Even their last-minute prepara-tions were true to fonn. Bush andClinton both jogged, hopeful thatexercise might clear over-rehearsedheads'. Perot, still in Texas, got ahaircut; He said he gets his bestideas in the barber's chair.
RICHMOND, VA.
Republicans struggled after thedebate Thursday to explain whyPresident Bush put little time andfury into his character attacks onfront-runner Bill Clinton, whileDemocrats smilingly insisted thattheir lead was safe.
But both parties agreed that inde-pendent candidate Ross Perot's per-formance had slipped from hisimpressive showing in the firstdebate Sunday.
Despite insisting that Bush "gothis licks in," Republican PartyChairman Rich Bond conceded thatthe "format did not lend itself' tothe kind of bitter free-for-all thatcharacterized Tuesday's vice presi-dential debate among incumbentDan Quayle, Sen. Al Gore, D-Tenn.,and Perot's running mate, JamesStockdale.
''This wasn't a night to get intosomeone's chest," Bond explainedto reporters. ''I think he (Bush) hadthe right tone."
When asked to point to Bush'sbest moment in the debate, Bondpicked the president's closing state-ment on trust, explaining, ''Well,that was his only prepared state-ment, the only thing he worked onto sum things up."
White House spokesman MarlinFitzwater insisted that Bush was'very aggressive," but then said,'It was our game plan to attack on
the issues, to show how our crimebill is better, how our health careplan is better."
Clinton campaign communica-tions director George Stephano-poulos, who earlier predicted thatthe president would mount a fierceattack, said, ''President Bush tried

country and tell the truth" _ todefend his own use of the so-calledcharacter issue against Clinton inthe campaign.
Bush again briefly mentionedClinton's opposition to the VietnamWar. "I am deeply troubled bysomeone who demonstrates andorganizes demonstrations in a for-eign land when his country is atwar," he said.
But then Bush added: "The bigargument that I have with the gover-nor on this is this taking differentpositions on different issues ... whatwe call waffling." Then Bush final-ly made what was obviouslydesigned as the punch line of theentire gambit. "I do think that youcan't turn the White House into the'Waffle House' _ you've got to saywhat you're for."
Clinton, mindful of such criticismthat he has heard throughout thecampaign, seemed determined torebut it by his performance in theheat of debate battle Thursday.
Asked by one member of the audi-ence if he "would enter into a legal-ly binding contract with theAmerican people" not to seek a sec-ond term if he did not achieve hisdeficit reduction goals, Clintonnever blinked an eye before answer-ing:
"No, and here's why." After out-lining his deficit reduction propos-als, he said, "But I can't foresee allthe things that will happen, and Idon't think a president should bejudged solely on the deficit." Thenhe reminded the audience of thenext presidential election in 1996.
''You'll have a shot at me in fouryears," Clinton said, "and you canvote me right out if you think I'vedone a lousy job."

Postmaster General Marvin T. Runyon moved Thursday to curbspeculation that he might seek a cut in residential mail service,declaring he "remains committed to six-day delivery."
Runyon had raised the possibility of reducing residential deliver-ies to four days a week during a meeting Wednesday withWashington Post reporters and editors. Although he gave no indica-tion that he was about to seek such a reduction, Runyon's commentsbrought a flood of questions to Postal Service headquarters.
In a press release Thursday, Runyon explained that his comments"were designed to show that he is asking postal management toexplore every program or process in terms of customer improvementand cost savings."
The Postal Service, which is in the midst of a Runyon-orderedreorganization, said his request for a study of the possibility of elimi-nating residential deliveries on Tuesdays and Thursdays was not arequest for "a formal cost study, nor did he place any urgency on therequest."
In an appearance before an advisory committee composed ofmailers, Runyon declared he was committed to improving "everylevel of service - from the availability of residential collectionboxes to increased service for small-and medium-sized business."

In full command of himself and abroad range of issues, firont-runningDemocratic presidential candidateBill Clinton turned in a performanceThursday night that toughened thetask faced by President Bush andindependent candidate Ross Perot intrying to catch up with him.
"Nothing happened to change thebasic structure of the race," saidLee M. Miringoff, an independentNew York pollster who heads theMarist Institute for Public Opinion."Clinton went in ahead and he
came out ahead."Before the debate began, Clinton's
aides noted that the Arkansas gover-nor had ample experience with theformat, in which the three candi-dates fielded questions from mem-bers of the audience. And his per-formance showed it.
''Clinton is just a star in that for-mat," said University of Texascommunications professor RoderickHart. ''He was direct and person-
By contrast, Bush seemed to facethe same dilemma that plagued himin the first debate Sunday , having todefend the dismal condition of thenation's economy and explain howhe would improve it. While Bushvaliantly promoted his recentlyunveiled agenda for economicrenewal, he lost a precious opportu-nity to rebut the frequently heardcriticism that he is too remote fromthe real concerns of the citizenry.
When one audience memberasked how the candidates knewwhat citizens suffering from therecession were going through, Bushseemed at a loss for words. Hewound up inviting her to watch himdeal with the economy in the WhiteHouse.
As for Perot, whose homespunwisecracks made a big hit in the first
And Perot seemed nonplussedwhen moderator Carole Simpsontold him: "Everybody thinks youwon the first debate because youwere plain-speaking and you madeit sound oh-so-simple. What makesyou think that you're going to beable to get the Democrats andRepublicans together any better thanthese guys (Clinton and Bush)?"
.In response Perot began talkingabout creating jobs in the inner city,until Simpson, who at times soughtto instill some cohesion in the large-ly unstructured and often disjointednature of the debate, cut him off andasked pointedly: ''Are you answer-ing my question?"
" If they would talk to one anotherinstead of throwing rocks, I thinkwe could get a lot done," Perot saidfinally. ''I doubt if they'll give methe chance, but I will drop every-thing and go work on it."
Bush, gamely striving to close thegap in the polls, sought to give ananswer that he hadn't been quickenough to think of in Sunday'sdebate. In complaining aboutBush's criticism of Clinton's oppo-sition to the Vietnam War onSunday, Clinton brought up Bush'slate father, Sen. Prescott Bush, forhis stand against McCarthyism.

The emergence of new infectious diseases and the reappearance ofold scourges such as tuberculosis and malaria pose a serious publichealth threat that the United States is ill-prepared to address, anexpert panel of the Institute of Medicine warned Thursday.
"This much is certain: We have to come to terms with the fact thatthe microbial world is in competition with us," said JoshuaLedcrberg, professor at Rockefeller University, who served as co-chairman of the panel. "... It is rapidly evolving at our expense, and ...we haven't applied the knowledge we have to the extent we should togive us the level of security we deserve."
The group attributed the problem to an era of complacency datingback to the late 1950s, when many public health officials began tobelieve that the war on infectious diseases had been won, and shiftedtheir attention to more chronic, degenerative diseases.
But in fact, "infectious microbes have been around all along" andwill continue to create public health crises, the panel said in its report.
"We can also be confident that new diseases will emerge,although it is impossible to predict their individual emergence in timeand place," the report said.
The institute is part of the prestigious National Academy ofSciences, a congressionally chartered, private organization whichadvises the federal government on matters of science and technology.-It typically wields considerable influence with policy-makers.
The panel cited numerous prominent examples, including the cur-rent AIDS epidemic that is raging "virtually everywhere,'' multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, which has broken out in frightening propor-tions in several U.S. cities, Lyme disease, which is transmittedthrough the bite of a tick and is afflicting "smore and more peopleevery year," a recent cholera epidemic in Peru that is moving north-ward, and malaria in Africa, Asia and South America.
D~emocrats Seek Investigation mIraqi LoanI Scandal
LOS ANGELFS TlMES
Last week, in the waning hoursof the 1 02nd session, Congresspassed legislation that permitted theFood and Drug Administration tocharge drug companies for review-ing new drug applications.
The legislation looked, on thesurface, like a simple bargainbetween the drug industry and theFDA: If pharmaceutical companiesagreed to pay the agency millions ofdollars for a variety of regulatoryservices, the FDA would devote allthe new money to expanding andcomputerizing its drug review oper-ation.
But the real impetus for thereform -one of the most signifi-cant in the agency's history -camefrom an unexpected place: the AIDSactivists who have been pressuringthe FDA for close to a decade.According to FDA officials, it wasthe FDA's experience in reviewingAIDS drugs quickly, and in devot-ing extra attention to that disease,that led them to believe they couldspeed up the review of all drugs- ifgiven the necessary resources.
Among policymakers, physi-cians and legal experts, this hasbecome a familiar story. Ten yearsof AIDS activism, they say, has hada profound impact on U.S. regula-tion, law and society far beyond theimmediate world of those infectedwith the HIV virus. The outpouringof grief, expressed so eloquently inthe AIDS quilt that was displayedon the Mail last -weekend, also haschanged the way medical science isconducted, the relationship betweendoctor and patient, the wayAmericans talk about sex, the waydrugs are regulated and the waycivil rights law is written.
"You can look at all of the majorcutting edge issues in health law andethics and you can see tiow AIDShas had an impact," said ILaw~renceGostin, executive director -of theAmerican Society of Law and
Medicine in Boston. "It is the lenswe use to examine all the criticalissues."
In the case of user fees, forexample, the FDA pledged to cut byalmost half the amount of time ittakes to review new drugs and toreview so-called breakthough drugsin no longer than six months if thepharmaceutical industry paid theFD:A $300 million in fees over fiveyears. Agency officials said theywere able to make this pledgebecause of their experience with theAIDS drugs DDI and DDC. Bothwere approved in record timebecause of pressure by AIDSactivists, showing that extraresources could be translated intofaster scientific reviews.
A series of regulatory changesenacted at the FDA this year, infact, which allow experimentaldrugs for lifiesavinlg diseases to bemade available to patients beforethey are approved, are all legaciesof the demands of AIDS activists toloosen up the drug approval process,which averages 20 months.
"Back in the 1960s and 1 970s,post-thalidomide, the agency's mis-sion was to keep unsafe products offthe market," FDA CommissionerDavid A. Kessler said. "But in deal-ing with AIDS, we have learned inno uncertain terms that our job isnot only to keep unsafe drugs offthe markets but to get safe andeffective drugs to the market. Thiswill carry over to traditional drugsas well. ... The pendulum hasswung."
AIDS has had a more subtle, butno less significant, effiect in reshap-ing the face of health and civilrights law. Since the epidemicbegan, there have been 469 courtcases and administrative agencylegal actions related to AIDS, onsubjects as diverse as education,crimimal law, family law, confiden-tiality and disrimination.
Consider, for example, how
AIDS has changed just one of thoseareas: the 1990 Americans withDisabilities Act. The law coversareas traditionally associated withdisabilities: how facilities must beaccessible to those in wheelchairs,how the blind or the deaf cannot bediscriminated against in employ-ment or housing. But in one signifi-cant respect it differs from previouscivil rights legislation. At the insis-tence of AIDS activists, the lawcovers HIV infection as a disability.
"If it had followed it's predeces-sors, the ADA would not have men-tioned or barely been applicable tohealth," said Gostin. "It used to bethat if you had cancer orHuntington's disease and someonesai'd,'I'm not going to employ youany more, I'm not going to let yougo on a senior management pro-gram,' you couldn't do anything. Itwasn't because you were a woman.It wasn't because you were black.But what this means is that whenev-er you are denied a service, exclud-ed from a job or a school, or when-ever you have any compulsorypower exercised against youbecause of an illness, you have aremedy. You can go to a federalcourt and sue for discrimination."
What AIDS activists have done,say medical experts,. is to assert theinterests and demand of those actu-ally suffering from a disease farmore effectively than any previousgroup of patient advocates. In sodoing, they have provided a modelfor other groups to follow.
"People with AIDS were the firstto say that we're not victims and todemand a full partnership with theirphysicians," said Deborah Cotton,an AIDS physician and researcher atBeth Israel Hospital in Boston. "Tome that is the biggest change, and itis spilling over to other patients.Paternalism in medicine was on theway out, but with AIDS it's dead."
WAS1IINGTON
Responding to new evidence in a sensitive Iraqi loan scandal,Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee Thursday formallysought an independent counsel to investigate whether Bush adminis-tration officials broke the law in trying to conceal prewar relationswith Baghdad.
In the Senate, Judiciary Committee Chairman Joseph R. Biden Jr.,D-Del., said he expected Democrats on his panel to vote for a similarrequest by Monday. The twin demands sharply expand the controver-sy over the administration's secret ties to Iraq which began emergingmonths ago.
Attorney Gencral William P. Barr responded to a similar congres-sional request in August with a resounding and detailed rejection.But, confronted by new questions about the roles of the Departmentof Justice and the CIA in withholding intelligence files from a federaljudge, Barr said Thursday that he had not ruled out any optiolls.
"Obviously, the independent counsel statute is something we willconsider to make sure this is actively investigated," Barr said in aninterview. "My interest is to clear the air. The department has nothingto hide. If there is any wrongdoing by anyone, we want to get to thebottom of it."'
Biden told reporters after talking to Barr that he thought it possi-blc the attorney general would change his mind and seek an indepen-dent counsel. Republicans, however, were skeptical of the renewedrequest, which came less than three weeks before the presidentialelection.
The House request, signed by 18 of the 21 Democrats on theJudiciary Committee, added to the pressure on the Department ofJustice, which was accused earlier this week of trying to stifle an FBIinquiry into its role in the Iraqi loan case by leaking word that FBIDirector William S. Sessions was the subject of ethics and criminalinvestigations.
On Thursday, Sessions refused to undergo questioning byDepartment of Justice attorneys investigating whether he abused gov-ernmcnt telephones and provided conflicting accounts about his taxstatus. His lawyer demanded the postponement because of news leaksand because he said that the department has not provided Sessionsspecifics about the actions under investigation.
However, a Department of Justice source claimed that Sessionswas being treated more favorably than "any other FBI employee" bybeing provided with copies of two letters containing the allegations.

Beware of theSpeaker Van
A sophisticated scam takes place everyyear on Boston college campuses. The swin-dle might even happen on other campusesaround the country. Men in a plain-coloredvan drive by pedestrians and ask them if theywould like to buy some speakers. These menclaim they are delivering some very highquality speakers somewhere in the vicinity,and, unbeknownst to their boss, their vehiclewas overstocked with speakers. If the buyerseems interested, the men start showing thepotential customer various professional-look-ing sales advertisements concerning thespeakers. They also show used speaker adsfrom reputable sources such as The BostonGlobe and The Want Advertiser, in whichsomeone is selling the speakers for hundredsof dollars.
They say they will sell you these excep-tional speakers for a couple hundred bucksbecause they want to get rid of them quickly.However, they casually add that they will onlyaccept cash since they don't want to be has-sled later about the sale. They act very sincereabout the quality of their product and evenoffer to let you listen to the speakers. Whileyou are listening, they will constantly pointout the subtleties of the exceptional soundquality that this system is putting out.
Do not buy these speakers! These men areselling an inferior product which costs less

came to power inChina in 1949 by promising the masses ofChinese peasants economic reform and aclassless utopian society. Here was the kicker,though - the peasants, the Communists said,were far too stupid to understand the com-plexities of Marxist revolution. So, until class-less utopia actually came, the wise old men ofthe Chinese Communist Party CentralCommittee would run the country, steering ittoward progress and keeping it in order.
Who controls how fast utopia will come?The Party. Who decides when utopia hasarrived? That's right... the Party. You see,now you're getting the idea. Behold, ladiesand gentlemen, the con job of the century.

Chinese communism, or what the Reds like tocall the "people's democratic dictatorship," islittle more than fascism. Fascist regimes neverlast, though, and China seems to have all theingredients necessary for a good old-fash-ioned revolution.
To Americans used to getting what theywant quickly, the fact that the Chinese leader-ship has weathered its communist misrule thislong seems preposterous. Inured to hardship,provincial, and brainwashed from birth by atrue fascist society, the masses of the ruralpoor - the people who really matter in China- have become, thanks to the CommunistParty, among the most docile and ignorantpeople on the planet.

these complaints have resulted in calls to theCampus Police, a state of affairs I find highlyregrettable.
When the CPs receive a call such as this,valuable police resources are wasted. TwoOfficers have to drive here in their cruiser, dis-cuss the situation with the night watchman,
climb three flights of stairs, talk to the com-plainant, go up another flight and try to stopthe music, and so on. Then they have to file areport. This process takes a minimum of 20 to30 minutes, and often lasts more than an hour.During that hour, then, there are at least twoofficers who are not on the streets.

By Matt NelmarkSTAFF REPOR TER
organizations that award researchgrants a percentage of the moneyawarded to cover indirect costs suchas building maintenance. Forinstance, if the professor employs astudent to do research, the Institutecharges an extra 140% to the awardgrantor, Lewin said.
"I don't care what MIT calls it. Icall it tax," Lewin said. He addedthat the overhead fees make someorganizations wary of offering himgrants, despite the quality of hisresearch. "The point is," said Lewin,"that [the costs] make my positionin terms of marketability very diffi-cult."
If a professor is unable to comeup with research funding, he or sheis usually forced to fire a graduatestudent. According to Lewin, pro-fessors suffer more from thisprocess than graduate students.While graduate students can usuallyfind a teaching assistantship, Lewinsaid his "productivity goes down,and the next year my chances ofgetting a grant are decreased."
Lewin also contended that beingforced to come up with grants forthe months he is not paid by theInstitute maktes it extremely difficultto teach. Lewin said lecturing aclass takes 40 hours a week ofpreparation and leading a recitationtakes from 20 to 25 hours a week.The pressure to find grants leaveseven less time to do research, hesaid.
"I 1am not going to lecture 8.01every fall. If I did, I would go scien-tifically bankrupt. I would love todo it. ... I would love to lecture 8.01in the fall and 8.02 to the same stu-dents in the spring," Lewin said.
Penfield said the system in noway impairs the teaching responsi-bilities of the professors.. He insistedthat to be a good teacher, one mustalso partake in research. "SThe bestteachers in our department are alsogood,:at research. We--also find that
when professors haven't beeninvolved in research for a long time,they become stale," he said.
He added that the system is ben-eficial to the students since theyhave the option of staying for thesummer if they wish and doingresearch with the professors.
Though you may not realize it,most MIT professors are paid foronly nine months of the year. If aprofessor wishes to be paid for thesummer months, he or she musteither obtain a research grant orteach during the summer session, apolicy some professors oppose.
Among its most outspoken crit-ics is Professor of Physics Walter H.G. Lewin. He said the system ofemploying professors for ninemonths is counterproductive to goodresearch and has not been standard-ized.
"This policy differs entirely fromdepartment to department and pro-fessor to professor. It is not a uni-form policy," he said. In particular,Lewin said that until a few yearsago, the Institute paid him for onlysix months a year, and he wasforced to find research grants forfive months.
Professors usually must acquireresearch grants from outside MIT ifthey want to get paid for their sum-mers. Even if professors teach dur-ing the summer session, they arepaid for only two of the three sum-mer months.
Paul L. Penfield SclD '60, headof the Departmnent of ElectricalEngineering and Computer Science,likes the current system. He said itgives some professors in his depart-ment the opportunity to use thesummer months to leave MIT andwork in the private sector.
"[The system] gives our facultythe opportunity to get away fromMIT and go somewhere else. Wefind that when the professors return,they are able to bring-back to usmany valuable experiences," hesaid.
Lewin's biggest problem withthe policy is related to the Institute'shandling of research grants. Likemany universities,' M-IT charges

A Safe Ride, from Page I 8:44 p.m.: The Cambridge vanarrives, and I get on with threeother students. The van waitsfor aminute or two before leaving.
On the Cambridge route, AaronC. Ashford '92 said that some of thestops would be safe if the driverswould stop for longer than just afew seconds.
In response, Fleming said that hewill "pause long enough to see ifanybody's coming" in the future.After some experience with theroutes, he knows where people arewaiting and where to look, headded.
Chaves added that there aresome places where the van cannotstop for long because of the flow oftraffic behind it.
8:46 p.m.: A student boards thevan at McCormick Hall.
Like many other students Italked with Wednesday night,Ashford felt that the Institute couldobtain one or two more vans,spreading the cost over all the stu-dents. Keppeler agreed, saying,'That wouldn't be significant
enough that I would mind."Enderson said it would be fair to
distribute the costs of-any additionalvans over the student body - even
if all students do not use the service-similar to the cost of Athena.
Other students feel that tuition ishigh enough that it should coversuch costs.
8:52 p.m.: Two students get offat pika.
8:55 p.m.: The last rider gets offat Edgerton House. Once again, thedriver and I are the only ones lqft onthe van for the remainder of the
broadcasts an announcenaent:"Four black males with hoodedsweatshirts with firearms" havebeen seen near building NW12. TwoCampus Police cruisers whiz bywhere the van was stopped just afew moments ago. In a matter ofminutes, the CPs have broadcastdescriptions and the possible head-ing of the suspects, sent the two vic-tims on their way to headquarters,and notified Canmbridge policeabout the incident.
Just a few minutes before thisincident, Chaves had been talkingabout how he sometimes felt unsafeduring late-night routes. He alsothought that the Safe Ride vans"should have mandatory [identifica-tion] checks" for students boardingthe van.
9:16 p.m.: The Safe Ride vanreturns to 77 Massachusetts Ave.
A Safe Ride has had manychanges since its inception 18months ago. Many improvements tothe current system are likely. ACommittee on Institute Safety iscurrently reviewing the options andlong-range implications of any pos-sible changes. These plans will bethe topic of the second half of thisstory.
route.
9:10 p.m.: The Cambridge vanreaches the East Campus/SeniorHouse stop. Al this point, the driverreceives a pickup requestfrom pika.Along with Epsilon Theta and ZetaBeta Tau, pika is not part of the reg-ular route, and students wishing tobe picked up must call to request astop.
9:13 p.m.: A radio dispatcher
8:12 p.m.: the van has droppedof all its passengers in thefirst fourstops. The only people left on thevan for the remainder of the rideare the driver, a driver-in-training,and me.
Safe Ride drivers must have aMassachusetts driver's license ingood standing, a good drivingrecord, and no criminal background,Glavin said.
They must also complete a two-week in-house training program, sheadded, where they receive informa-tion about topics such as theCampus Police department, the MITcommunity, the routes, and crimeprevention programs and services.
In addition, there is continuoustraining and a safety-related drivingcourse which the drivers arerequired to attend, said driver G.Scott Fleming. Drivers generallywork foir 4- to 5-hour shifts perweek, he said.
Each van is equipped with twotwo-way radios, one of which isportable, Glavin said.Communication between the driversand the Campus Police is a "primaryissue of concern," she added.Drivers should report incidentsimmediately, but are not expected toact as police, Glavin said. She addedthat there have been no emergencieson A Safe Ride so far.
Fleming said he feels "no hazardabout being in the van by myself."
8:30 p.m.: The Boston vanarrives at 77 Massachusetts Ave.again, 25 minutes afiter it left. Abouta dozen people pack into the van.Once again, I wait at the bus stop,this timefor the Cambridge van.
The average wait is 35 to 45minutes for both routes, accordingto Glavin, adding that tfifs is "toolong." The shortest wait is about 25minutes. "We recognize that this isa problem with the system."
Driver Anthony Chaves suggest-ed that rush hour traffic contributesto the irregular schedules, especiallyon the Boston route.
Some other problems include thepredictability of the vans, safety atsome of the stops, and occasionalinstances when the van was full ordidn't stop at its designated areas,Immerman added.
Ali Alavi '93, who rode onWednesday night, suggested that ASafe Ride operate on a set schedule.He said he does not mind how longthe route takes, "as long as there's acertain time that I can be there."
Beth Enderson G agreed, sayingthat although the waiting timesmight be longer, "I can plan myschedule around it." She also saidthat if Albany St. were lit better, shewould not need a ride back toEdgerton House every night.
"It's a nice service," said Karl E.Keppeler '95. He added that "It'spretty fast going home" to PhiSigma Kappa, about a five-minuteride. But because the ride back tocampus can take up to 35 minutes,he said he usually walks.
"It's better to have it than notto," said John S. Piatkowski '93,who rides the Boston van severaltimes each week. However, headded, "I certainly don't take itbecause of the safety."

inspiration."Assistant Professor of
Aeronautics and Astronautics HughL;. McManus '80 rememberedRaustein's love of space explo-ration. He praised Raustein as abright student who got straight A'sin the department's UnifiedEngineering courses in spite of hav-ing transferred to MIT as a sopho-more and having to work in whatwas for him a foreign language.
As his recitation instructor forthe course, McManus laudedRaustein's "seriousness and his pur-pose.' Raustein was "one of thequiet, bright students who make fewdemands when they're here, but goon to do great things," McManussaid.
McManus called on attendees"to carry on the work that Yngvefound so inspiring, both by explor-ing the air and the stars, and by con-veying the excitement of that task tothe public, especially the young."
McManus announced the estab-lishment of the Yngve Rausteinmemorial award, to be awardedeach year to the student in theAeronautics and AstronauticsUnified Engineering courses "whothrough outstanding achievement,
but as importantly, personalimprovement in overcoming of dif-ficulties, best exemplifies the spiritthat Yngve brought to us."
MIT President Charles M. Vestdescribed Raustein as "a visitoramong us... an explorer of newlands and new ideas." He voiced the
"anger and bewilderment at hisdeath, at this act of ultimate theft"felt by many. "For many of us," hesaid, "one the deepest wounds hasbeen to our sense of community, toour faith in civility and in basichuman decency."
"My freedom has been stolen,"Vest quoted an MIT student as say-ing. Vest called for increased securi-ty, but more than anything else a"seeking out and holding on to thethreads of common humanity."
Yngve's father, Elmer Raustein,thanked MIT faculty, students, andstaff, as well as families in theCambridge and Boston area, for the"great relief and help" his familyhad experienced in receiving numer-ous expressions of sympathy andsupport.
He voiced his family's hope that"this disaster will contribute toincreased efforts" to decrease vio-lence in society. He fondly remem-bered his son as an "ambitiousyoung man" with a short but richlife, who to them was a "perfectson, brother, and friend.' He con-cluded by echoing the sentiments ofmany, saying that "in our hearts, ourdear Yngve will always live."
Over 200 people gathered atBartos Auditorium Friday afternoonto pay tribute to Yngve K. Raustein'94. The 45-minute memorial ser-vice contained remembrances ofRaustein and calls for a more peace-ful society. Many Baker residentswore black ribbons in his memory.
Baker Housemaster andAssociate Professor of HistoryWilliam B. Watson recalled thecompassion he experienced at thehands of his Norwegian hosts whenhe attended Raustein's funeral inOs, Norway, the previous week. Hespoke of the "understanding, sym-pathy, compassion for the distresswe ourselves at MIT were suffer-ing" and their lack of hostility andblame toward Cambridge or MIT.
Watson said that the Norwegianshad "truly become world-class citi-zens, who could put aside the nar-rowest definitions of self-interest inorder to understand what we had incommon as human beings."
Fellow transfer student andfriend Naved A. Khan '94 praisedRaustein as one who made "themost out of life," and thanked himas "a source of motivation and

of the Captain's birthday cake. She getscaught in the middle of the clash and ends uptagging along with Seagal. Her character isannoyingly weak. When Ryback tries to giveher a gun she tells him she has two rules: "Idon't date musicians and I don't kill people."Eventually she comes around, of course, butnever ceases to be annoying. Perhaps a strongprotagonist other than Seagal was not desired.
In fact, the strongest performance is notSeagal's. Rather, it is Tommy Lee Jones whosteals the film as William Strannix. Comingaway from his Academy Award-nominatedperformance in last year's JFK, Jones portraysa cunning and diabolical former CIA opera-tive gone bad. Strannix remains calm aftereach of Ryback's successes in defeating hismen until the final showdown between thetwo. Jones delivers a powerful monologueexplaining his motives before Strannix andRyback battle it out hand to hand. This finalbattle is one of the most delightful scenes ofthe film.
As a whole, though, the movie fails. Fromthe weak writing to the mostly gratuitous vio-lence, Under Siege is badly done. Fans ofSteven Seagal will enjoy this movie, buteveryone else should reconsider.

as enter-t a i n e r sand caterers for the Captain's birthday partytake over the ship. Their plan is to steal theMissouri's nuclear arsenal. Ryback must near-ly single-handedly take on the group and savethe nuclear weapons from falling into thewrong hands.
This hackneyed plot is not developed inany vaguely interesting ways. The "goodguys" and the "bad guys" are establishedimmediately and the story merely becomes atest of who can eliminate the other first. Thesole narrative action is Ryback wanderingaround the ship trying to come up with asmany new and creative ways as possible to
No kill off thebad guys.There areno sus-
penseful sequences or crafted schemes. Thescenes in which Ryback communicates withthe Pentagon's Crisis Action Center are a nicebreak, though the amount of faith thePentagon puts in Ryback is rather unbeliev-able.
The few action sequences that portraySeagal's mastery of martial arts are a treat towatch, however. Seagal was the first non-Asian to establish a martial arts academy inJapan, and his dojo is still in operation, withover 2000 students. His skills are nicely show-cased in the few scenes that call for them.Still, the action of this movie comprises toomuch shooting and not enough finesse.
The biggest failing of this film is the lead-ing female role. Jordan Tate (Erika Eleniak) isa Playboy centerfold who is hired to jump out
Siege is a poorly written film inwhich the violent action sequences
provide the only substance. StevenSeagal's martial arts scenes are
mpressive and Tommy Lee Jones gives a-ompelling portrayal of his character, buthese alone do not redeem the film.
Seagal is Casey Ryback, a former NavyiEAL and combat operative in Vietnam, thediddle East and Panama. In Under Siege hes the cook on the Navy's most powerful bat-leship, the USS Missouri, as it sails across thelacific with a skeleton crew before beingrecommissioned.

Attend a special preview of the QUALCOMM story at5:00 PM, October 20, Rm. 4-153
the night before our on-campus interviews.It's interesting what happens when you give extraordinary people an extraordinary amount of
autonomy and m oupprThey innrme Mm crazy Then their company takes off and grows like very few others have.Case in point San Diego's own QUALCOMM. We've gone from 8 employees in 1985 to over
750 today. That n~ms us one of America's fastest growing high-tech companies.It also doesn't hurt to have the company launched by communications visionaries like Dr. Irin
M. Jacobs and Dr. Andrew J. Viterbi.The trick, of course, is to keep the entreprneurial spirit flourishing despite phenomenal growth.
That's why we give our engineers as much freedom and encouragement as possible. This includesan open door policy company-wide, the latitude to set your own hours, the private space providedby your own office, and more.
In response, QUALCOMM people have spearheaded many of our industry's most challengingtechnologies. Among them are spread-spectum CDMA digital cellular telephone systems, mobilesatellite communication networks, HDTV image compression, full custom ASIC design, and more.
We'l frow in fhe oceanm-fte.Along with a highly stimulating work environment, youll also enjoy the Southern California
lifestyles which features one of America's most temperate climates. And QUALCOMM is less than amile from the Pacific Ocean.
If you're working towards a degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Science,Computer Engineering, Physics, Math or Manufacturing Engineering, be sure to attend our specialpreview the night before our on-campus interviews. You may also mail, fax or send us your resumewith transcripts by internet QUALCOMM, Human Resources, 10555 Sorrento Valley Road, SanDiego, CA 92121. FAX: (619) 452-9096.

pated in one !more game than thePatsies, yet have scored-3 fewerpoints. As a service to our readers,this is a stat wre will be monitoringweekly:
Patsies: 46 (9.2 ppg) Seadoves:43 (7.2 ppg)
To round out this scribe's ballotfor MVP in the National League: -
1. Barry Bonds, Pittsburgh2. Gary-Sheffield, San Diego3. Marge Schott, CincinnatiTwo thumbs up to former Bruin
Rick Bowness and to Phil Esposito,who each inaugurated their newfranchises, Ottawa and Tampa Bay,into the NHL with wins. The wordon the streets is that Ottawa is for-saking immediate gains for futureglory by investing in young guysand draft picks. Tampa Bay, more inneed of quick returns so they canentice retirees off the beach and intothe rink, has tried to build their teamwith veterans. This draws compar-isons to expansion teams in baseballand basketball, where the Blue Jaysand Heat stockpiled young playersand draft picks, while the Marinersand Timberwolves went for agingveterans. The Jays are a champi-onship team and the Heat have abright future, while the Marinersand 'Wolves wallow in sub-medioc-rity, being baseball's and basket-ball's equivalent ofthe Patsies.
Two thumbs down to Art Shelland the Raiders for not giving theball to Eric Dickerson in the 4thquarter of the team's romp over theBills last week. Heading into thequarter, Dickerson needed only 21yards to pass Tony Dorsett for sec-ond place on the all-time rushing
yardage list. It would have been fit-ting for him to reach this milestonein front of the Perrier-and-sushi-tail-gaiting fans in Los Angeles, wherehe began his career. Now he willhave to somehow get the yards inthe Kingdome, where the Raiderstake on the vaunted Seadove ballcontrol offense...
Speaking of LA LA land, theoffensive line that Larry Brown hasput together for the Clippers looksto tip the scales at close to 1,000pounds. The acquisition of Tito'Hostess' Horford, 'Jell-o' JohnWilliams, and Stanley 'Ragu'Roberts may cause the Clips to holdtheir pre-training camp weigh-ins onthe cattle scales at Knott's BerryFann. Let's hope none of the theseguys come back with girlfriends. . .

became the 8th and 9th expansionteams to win their first games. Canyou name the other seven? Sendanswers and any comments, ques-tions, or pictures from Madonna'snew book to sportsgthe-tech.mit.edu.
Last week's answer: TedSimmons C, Cecil Cooper 1 B. JimGantner 2B, Robin Yount SS, PaulMolitor 3B, Ben Oglivie RF,
iorman Thomas CF, Charlie MooreLF, Roy Howell/Don Money DH,and 4 pitchers include MikeCaldwell, Moose Haas, Pete
Vukovich, and Rollie Fingers.Kudos to Bart Williams G and
Jonathan Stoehr, who were the onlytwo to correctly answer the ques-tion. Many of you missed the elu-sive Charlie Moore.
MIT TWIB NotesLed by the potent offensive
punch of Javier Nazario '95 and JimLee '93, the water polo team is cur-rently ranked 8th nationally inDivision 111. Watch for a barrage ofBeavers shots at Harvard this week-end as MIT participates in the NewEngland seeding tourney.. .
The women's soccer team is alsoon a roll. Sporting a 10-2 record,the Lady Beavers look to stuffBabson on Saturday at 10:30 am onthe hallowed turf of SteinbrennerStadium. . .
Come Sunday, watch the crews
Watching the playoffs, we'venoticed a lot of players sliding/div-ing into first base thinking that theycan save that crucial 'fraction of asecond.'When will they realize, asany track runner can attest, that it'sfaster to run straight through thebase than it is to slide?
Look for Miami to be 9-0 goinginto their Monday night rematchversus Buffalo on Nov. 16, then todrop their next 4 before returning toABC with a victory over the 6-7Raiders. Miami is hitting the sweetspot in their schedule with gamesagainst the Patsies, Jets, and Colts(twice) in the next four weeks.. .
The owners of the fi-achises inAmerica's pastime are acting veryun-American these days. After coI-luding to keep the salaries of freeagents low, they are now trying toforce Giants owner Bob Lurie to sellhis team for $20 million less thanlie's been offered by the group fromSt. Pete. What hypocrisy in light ofthe fact that the owners won't takemoney out of their own pockets togive back to television. These arealso the same owners who, in anattempt to curb free agent spending,allowed Fay Vincent to ban GeorgeSteinbrenner from baseball, thustaking away his right to manage hisown business. . .
