ing to Shaukat.MIT's attorney will be unavail-

able until Monday, so DormConsuspended the rules. The free speechissues will be reviewed with anattorney and rules will be finalizedbefore next year's Residence andOrientation Week.

In place of the original restric-tions, MedComm now "stronglyencourages living group members torefrain making false and maliciousstatements about other livinggroups."

Plotkin's concerns, detailed in alengthy article in yesterday'sThistle, were based on the policydistributed to dormitories and notthe current revision of the rulesdescribed to dormitory R/O chair-man and Judicial Committee mem-bers at a meeting yesterday.

The bad mouthing rules nolonger prohibit false and maliciousstatements, or threaten stiff fines formaking such statements, in whatPlotkin described as "a textbookcase of attempting to effect a 'chill'upon free speech."

Students could violate the Insti-tute harassment policy by makingmalicious statements about anotherperson or group, Shaukat said. Hecautioned, however, that an individ-

ual would have to file charges for aspecific incident that he or shefound injurious.

Because victims of harassmentmust file charges through standardInstitute channels and not throughMedComm, members of JudCommwill not enforce the harassment pol-icy. "We've sort of decided thatwe'll let the Institute take of Insti-tute policies," Shaukat said.

Shaukut remains hopefully thatbad mouthing will not be a problemduring rush. "I don't think there willbe a problem," he said. "It has notbeen a problem in the past."

IFC rules unaffectedThe change will not affect the

enforcement of IFC rush rules,Doshi said. Doshi, who is a memberof MedComm, had not beeninformed of the changes in dormito-ry rush policies yesterday aftemoon,however.

While he admitted that the IFCrules do limit freedom of speech,Doshi contended that the badmouthing restrictions have manybenefits. "The whole idea is to cre-ate a positive and unbiased environ-ment for the freshman," he said.

The Dormitory Council will notbe enforcing its official "badmouthing" rule this year, because ofconcerns that the rule may limitconstitutionally protected speech,according to Tariq M. Shaukat '95,DormCon president.

The Inter-Fraternity Council banornbad mouthing is still in effect,however. "You don't say anythingthat will hurt another fraternity,sorority, or independent livinggroup,"; said Prashant B. Doshi '95,IFC president.

The Mediations Committee,which handles conflicts betweenDormCon and the IFC, issued rulesearly this month that warned:"Spreading false and/or maliciousinformation about other livinggroups can result in charges filedunder various Institute policies withthe IFC, DormCon, the [Residenceand Campus Activities Office], or acombination of the three."

After Robert M. Plotkin '93lodged a complaint with MedCommand Assistant Dean for Residenceand Campus Activities Andrew M.Eisenmann '75, DormCon decidedto suspend the rule until MIT'slawyer could be consulted, accord-

Duff's recovery will be long,Randolpti said. "There's a possibili-ty he will not recover full move-ment," he said.

Because of the spectacle createdby the fall, rumors that Duff tried tocommit suicide were started, Fangsaid. "Suddenly there were a lot ofambulances and sirens outside ofBaker House and the police didn'tsay anything right away, so every-one thought someone had jumped,"she said.

The rumors are completely false,according to Randolph.

Duff s family has asked that stu-dents and friends not visit him untilhe has had more time to recoverfrom surgery, Randolph said.

A student descending from theroof of Baker House on a rope wasinjured late Tuesday night when helost his grip and fell three stories.

According Campus Police ChiefAnne P. Glavin, Michael J. Duff '95had attached a 75-foot rope to a venton the roof and apparently tried toscale the side of the building facingMemorial Drive.

"He was repelling off of ourroof. He wasn't doing it withrepelling gear, but with two normnal,hardware-store ropes," said NicoleFang '95, a Baker deskworker andfriend of Duff.

A Baker resident heard Duff falland called the campus police at11:22 p.m. Two officers respondedwvithin a minute and paramedicstook Duff to the hospital. Duff wasconscious after the fall but could notfeel his legs, Fang said.

An active-duty Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton has turnedhimself in to military investigators, saying he submitted to nude pho-tographs as part of an underground pornographic production ring,officials at the base said Wednesday.

The Marine, who was not identified, thus becomes the secondjunior enlisted man at Camp Pendleton whose involvement in theporno operation has been confirmed by military authorities.

"(The Marine) indicated that he did not participate in sexual actsand expected payment, which was never received for his participa-tion," Chief Warrant Officer Mike Hedlund, the base spokesman, saidWednesday.

Hedlund said the matter had beer. referred to the Naval CriminalInvestigative Service. Posing nude for pay constitutes pandering, afelony offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Lesseroffenses are deemed misdemeanors handled as non-judicial punish-ments.

Pendleton officials also confirmed that NCIS agents conducted ajailhouse interview with the man who claims to have engineered agay Marine porno ring that police say may involve between twodozen and 200 active-duty personnel.

Police recently turned over evidence to military authorities, whoon Tuesday acknowledged for the first time the involvement of anactive-duty Marine. Whether any Marine is charged "remains to beseen," Hedlund said.

Flight controllers sent thoseinstructions Wednesday afternoonwhen the five-day deadline ran out.And to their dismay, Mars Observerremained mute, its fate a completemystery. While engineers will con-tinue efforts to regain contact, theprognosis was not encouraging.

"The current situation, withoutcommunications, certainly erodesour prospects considerably," Cun-ningham said. "Every day, in fact,without communications clearlylessens our probability of success."

If contact eventually can be re-established, and if the Observer is,in fact, in orbit around Mars, themission to map the Red Planet andgather priceless data about its struc-ture, composition and atmosphere!ikely cauldc proeed as lanrned.

But if controllers ultimately dis-cover the probe passed Mars with-o,-t fir;ng ;tc hra-ing rceltf as nnd

continued on in an orbit around thesun, the mission would face a majordelay and significant replanning.

In that case, the spacecraft wouldreturn to the vicinity of Mars some-time next year or in 1995. Assumingcontact can be restored at somepoint and the problem corrected,engineers would be able to fine-tunethe trajectory to put the spacecraft inthe desired orbit around Mars, albeitmuch later than originally planned.

l'I we're not in orbit, there areseveral options for making changesthat would return the spacecraft tothe vicinity of Mars," Cunninghamsaid.

In the meantime, scientists saythe loss of Mars Observer would bea major setback for American plane-tary exploration. Mission scientistArden Albee said the flight wasdesigned "to gather an immenseamount of information about Mars."

"When humans go to Mars forthe first time, they will have usedthe charts and the data and the infor-mation that Mars Observer (wasbuilt to) gather," he said. "If MarsObserver should fail, then we wouldhave to re-do Mars Observer some-time in the near future."

Closer to home, the possibledemise of Mars Observer, coupledwith the Aug. 21 failure of a new$67 million weather satellite andproblems afflicting the HubbleSpace Telescope and NASA'sGalileo Jupiter probe, likely willhave an impact on the agency's bud-get battles in Congress.

"I'm sure," said John Logsdon, aspace policy analyst at GeorgeWashington University, "there willbe some sort of congressionalfirestorm that says, 'How in the hellcan we waste a billion dollars? Andnow you're asking us to commit $!0billion over the next five years tospace station?' I think the programis indeed in jeopardy."

Some observers believe the lossof Mars Observer nmight also rekin-dle debate about the wisdom ofbuilding big, complex and expen-sive spacecraft instead of smaller,cheaper probes that do not wreck aprogram when a failure occurs.

"I think it all goes back to theidea that this is how the NASAbureaucracy is geared- you do bigthings, you have big spectaculars,"said Joan Johnson-Freese, a spaceanalyst with the Air War College atMaxwell Air Force Base in Alaba-ma.

'"Who pays any attention to thelittle package deals? Nobody," shesaid. "You go for flybys of Saturn,you go for a Mars Observer, thingsthat will get media attention. Unfor-tunately, that sometimes backfireswhen the engineering glitch occurs.And this is what you get."

CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA

NASA's silent Mars Observerprobe, which could be lost in space,destroyed or possibly wheelingaround the Red Planet with a brokenradio, missed a final deadline tocontact Earth Wednesday, increas-ing concern that the $1 billion mis-sion could end up a total failure.

"Unfortunately, we still have notwo-way communication or one-way communication or data of anykind from the spacecraft," said pro-ject manager Glenn Cunningham."I'lm sorry to have to report that. Wecontinue, however, with increasedvigor in trying to re-establish com-munications."

Controllers at NASA's JetPropulsion Laboratory in Pasadena,Calif., lost contact with MarsObserver Saturday during a proce-dure to pressurize the probe's fueltanks for a critical rocket firingT,,n..ay to put th.e spaceraft in

orbit around Mars.Initial efforts to reestablish com-

munications were unsuccessful andno one knows whether the space-craft exploded or tumbled out ofcontrol during fuel-tank pressuriza-tion, whether it went into orbit as itwas programmed to do or whether itsailed on past Mars into a long orbitaround the sun.

Based on an engineering analysisof propulsion system components,Cunningham said Wednesday hebelieves the spacecraft did notexplode, but "I have no data and Ican't really speculate beyond that."

Assuming it did not blow up, thesolar-powered spacecraft, firstAmerican mission to Mars in 17years, was programmed to go intoan "emergency contingency mode"if five days passed without contact.That procedure would have requiredit to locate the sun, reset its radio

WASHINGTON

The Clinton administration, breaking new ground on a long-run-ning environmental debate, on Tuesday outlined a package of initia-tives designed to stem and eventually reverse the loss of the nation'sswamps, marshes and vemrnal pools to agriculture and development.

Seeking to balance the rights of private landowners with the con-cerns of environmentalists, the administration moved to protect 1.7million acres of Alaskan wetlands threatened by development and toclose loopholes in federal regulations that have allowed builders todrain and damage other wetland areas throughout the country.

At the same time, however, the proposal would exempt from fur-ther regulation 53 million acres of farmland that once were wetlands,and would allow some developers to build on wetlands if they con-tribute to the creation or restoration of such lands elsewhere.

The wetlands protection effort, unveiled after 10 weeks of workwith less fanfare than the other initiatives, was touted by WhiteHouse officials Tuesday as "the most ambitious set of wetlandimprovements" since the federal government began regulating the useof such lands in the early 1970s. But environmental groups respondedwith caution, saying the administration's package does too much toaccommodate fannrmers and private developers.

Clinton Wants to Boost Civilian

LOS ANGELES TIMES

WASHINGTON

President Clinton and his technology guru, Vice President A!Gore, are trying to put the aeronautics back into the National Aero-nautics and Space Administration.

The primary goal is to bolster American civil aircraft manufactur-ing, one of the few domestic industries that still produces a positivetrade balance.

U.S. aircraft manufacturers have seen their world market shareerode at an alarming rate. In 1969, they built 91 percent of the civilaircraft sold worldwide. Today, the industry is struggling to maintaina 67 percent market share.

While the Republican administrations of Ronald Reagan andGeorge Bush focused on big ticket space projects like Space StationFreedom and a manned mission to Mars, they overlooked the basicresearch needs of American civil aircraft manufacturers, said Brad-ford E. Biegon of the American Association of Aeronautics andAstronautics.

"The job base is declining, we're facing increased economic com-petition on all fronts, and this remains one of the few industries inwhich we're economically competitive," Biegon said. "We need to tocontinue to make these research investments if we're going to pre-serve this industry."

To spur the effort, the White House budget submitted to Congressearlier this year calls for a dramatic increase in research funds thatone day may make American-built passenger planes faster, safer andcheaper to operate.

Specifically, the administration wants to spend more than $1 bil-lion in the 1994 fiscal year on aeronautics research and development,up 18 percent from the current year.

for less money than ever before."There is no question but that

there are going to be more choicesavailable to the consumer," saidSharon Armbrust, a tclecommunica-tions analyst at Paul Kagan Associ-ates in Carmel, Calif. "And we haveto hope that this will translate intolower prices."

However, some analysts worrythat the telephone companies' entryinto cable will have the oppositeeffect. They argue that the phonecompanies may use their new free-dom to purchase existing cable-- e-tors, reducing compot-ti

rather than increasing it."I foresee a dance of the

dinosaurs, not a clash of the titans,"warns Berge Avazian, of the Yan-kee Group, a Boston telecommuni-cations research firm. "It will be onemonopoly operator buying anothermonopoly."

Regardless of the effect on con-sumers, Tuesday's ruling is a majorvictory for the phone companies intheir fight against cable operatorsfor control of the new telecommuni-cations networks that are rolling outacross the nation.

The ruling comes against anaccelerating rush of technology thatis blurring the line between tele-phone and cable services. As thesignals that carry each are translated-or digitized - into electronicblips, telephone and cable televisionnetworks become interchangeable.

These developments are givingrise to a host of new services thatcombine video images with two-way telephone calling through the

TV set. These services include at-home shopping, video-on-demandentertainment and paperless bill-paying.

But while technology may per-mit the telephone and video servicesto converge, the web of monopol,-restricting regulations envelopin,telephone and cable operators hasprevented it.

The Cable Act provision chal-lenged by Philadelphia-based I3Be!'Atlantic was originally designed toprevent phone companies fromnusing their vast ratepayer resources... ' --- o pe ratO muscle asidu -,llcalcab operators attempting to do business iT,their territories. (Phone companiesare allowed to own video serviccsoutside their service areas.)

Phone company executives havelong argued that cable companies nolonger need this protection. InDecember, Bell Atlantic Video Ser-vices Inc. and the Chesapeake &Potomac Telephone Co. of Va., bothsubsidiaries of Bell Atlantic, filedsuit in December challenging theconstitutionality of the provision onfree-speech grounds.

Bell Atlantic plans to offervideo entertainment and informationservices to about 60,000 customersin Alexandria, Va., using the net-work that Chesapeake and PotomacTelephone expects to build duringthe next couple of years.

"Local subscribers used to haveonly one choice. They had to take itor leave it," said Jim Young, generalcounsel for Bell Atlantic Corp."Now consumers will have addi-tional choices."

In a potentially huge step towardcompetition in cable television, afederal judge Tuesday cleared theway for the nation's phone compa-nies to begin offering video pro-gramming in their home territories.

The ruling by U.S. District JudgeT.S. Ellis III in Alexandra, Va.,struck down as unconstitutional aprovision in the 1984 Cable Actbanning the phone companies fromproviding video services in areaswhere they own the monopolyphone system.

Although the ruling came on achallenge brought by Beil AtlanticCorp., the owner of telephone com-panies in the Mid-Atlantic states, itis widely believed to apply equallyto the rest of the nation's phonecompanies.

Several telephone companiessaid that, if the decision survives apossible appeal by the federal gov-ernment and cable operators, theBaby Bells will begin competingdirectly with their local cable sys-tems within the next two years.

"Within our five-state telephoneterritory, we look forward to thepossibility of offering new optionsin video services," said Jim Kahan,a senior vice president with South-western Bell Corp. in St. Louis.

If the ruling stands, it will accel-erate the convergence of telephone,television and other telecommunica-tions technologies in the market-place. The resulting face-offbetween communications giantscould give consumers more options

The Clinton administration's decision to send 400 U.S. ArmyRangers to Somalia represents a major new effort to protect existingU.S. troops from ambush and to neutralize fugitive warlordMohammed Farah Aidid, U.S. officials said Tuesday.

Publicly, the administration continued to deny that the deploy-ment is aimed primarily at capturing or killing Aidid, who has beenthe object of a U.S.-U.N. manhunt since mid-June. His militiamenwere blamed for the June 5 ambush that left 24 Pakistani peacekeep-ing soldiers dead.

But well-placed administration policy-makers conceded privatelythat there is no question the Rangers are being dispatched mainly tohelp break Aidid's grip on the Somali capital - by capturing him, ifpossible, or by blunting his influence in other ways.

If the Rangers cannot quickly catch Aidid, they will move to iso-late him physically and intensify pressure on his guerrillas, usingcounterterrorism tactics to disrupt his links with his followers and todisarm and break down his forces, military experts said.

WASHINGTON

The Clinton administration's chief legal advocate Tuesday urged afederal appeals court to overturn a ruling that would require the gov-ernment to assess the environmental impact of the North AmericanFree Trade Agreement.

U.S. Solicitor General Drew S. Days III argued that because Pres-ident Clinton, and not a government agency, is ultimately responsiblefor ca.rving out tlhe trade pact, NAFTA is exempt from a 1970 envi-ronmental law. That law, the National Environmental Protection Act,requires the government to conduct environmental impact studies fordecisions by federal agencies that affect the environment.

After hearing arguments from Days and a lawyer representingenvironmental and public interest groups, a three-judge panel coulddecide in a matter of weeks whether to overturn a June decision byU.S. District Court Judge Charles Richey that many thought mightdeal a serious blow to NAFTA.

The trade agreement, which Clinton has indicated he plans to sub-mit to Congress for ratification this fall, would remove most tradebarriers among the United States, Canada and Mexico, creating theworld's largest free-trade market.

Former Contra guerrillas released their last five hostages in thenorth of the country Wednesday, opening the way to a peaceful reso-lution of the kidnapping crisis that has paralyzed Nicaragua foralmost a week.

William Daley, the Chicagolawyer chosen by Clinton to coordi-nate the campaign for NAFTA,arrived here this week for the firstset of meetings with an interagencytask force established to push theprogram through Congress. TheWhite House is expected to hire aRepublican, former Minnesota Rep.William Frenzel, to work the GOPside of the House, sources said.

Daley, who has strong ties toorganized labor, has a primary taskof getting more Democratic Housemembers to sign up.

NEW YORK

At the Brooklyn mosque where Sheik Omar Abdei-Rahman oftenpreached, Muslims who gathered to pray Wednesday greeted thenews of his indictment with disbelief and outrage, saying it was wasevidence of anti-Muslimn bias.

"They've wronged him," said Yusaf Ibrahim, 28, as he was enter-ing the Abu Bakr Siddique mosque. "It's just prejudice on the part ofthe government against the Muslim religion."

"It's all lies," said a 27-year-old man who identified himself onlyas Osama. "Islam teaches that you have to be good to everybody."

The sheik might have said that someone like Adolf Hitlerdeserved to die, Osama said, but he has never advocated violence."I've been to so many of his classes, all of them, anu he's never saidto kill anybody," he said.

He dismissed evidence pointing to the sheik's guilt as untrue, say-ing the media was to blame for spreading untruths about the religiousleader.

"For the past year we never hear anything good in the media aboutIslam," he said. His explanation: "Americans are becoming Muslimsand the government wants to put a stop to it."

In the Arab-American enclave on Court Street in Brooklyn, Mus-lims were incredulous at the sheik's indictment.

"I don't know how they could say he did that," said Nasser Mati,22. "We don't believe in violence in the Muslim religion."

tr. Ni.T. I-vhenui, secietary-gencral of the National C ouncil onIslamic Affairs, said the sheik's indictment is "a triumph of paranoiaand intolerance in America."

Welcome, and congratulations. Getting in to MIT is no small feat;incoming students deserve a round of applause and a hearty handshake.

Now the real work begins.MIT is a hard school. Until the time you take your place on the

commencement platform, you will have undoubtedly challenged your-self in ways you can't begin to imagine: academically, physically,

-- ~~~ ~socially. That, after all is what MIT isabout-- stretching your mind, devel-Edito7ral` oping your abilities, pushing your lim-its.

Take control of time here. Pursue your interests, seek out the com-pany of people you like. Don't be afraid to try something you neverhave experienced before. And if you are having trouble, don't be afraidto ask for help.

MIT provides a wealth of opportunities for new students - sports,activities, research programs. But these offerings go only to those- -- -- -- ''

aggressive enough to ask for them. Investigate these opportunities -they'll shape your MIT experience just as much as any lecture orrecitation section will.

Most of all, remember that at MIT, nothing is permanent. Studentscan switch classes, switch roommates, switch living groups, switchjobs, switch majors with surprising ease. In your first years here, treatMIT like an adventure - new and exciting, and full of sudden twistsand turns. You have at least a year to choose majors, and at least twodozen avenues to explore.

MIT can be exhilarating: exciting classes, cutting-edge research,wonderful teachers. It can also be cruel: bad food, dull classes, insensi-tive administrators. MIT can make you doubt your choices and second-guess your decisions. But you will get through it.

So welcome to MIT, the best and the worst of all possible worlds.With your help, it can only get better.

sign with your name, state, potential major,and interests on it, and see if they can carry aconversation with you then. Maybe. Maybenot.

Don't be hesitant to tell people who youreally are. Tell them if you build model cars.Or collect dust. Tell them if you like to readOrganic Chemistry for fun. Tell them if youwant to check out the new Spare stations atAthena. Tell them if you were a championshipbowler in your local league. Tell them if youare gay.

Give other people a chance before youjudge them, but more importantly, give your-self a chance. As you ascend these stairs, keepyour spirits high, reaching for your goals. Letyourself climb as far as quickly as you can.

Don't be afraid to reach out to those ahead forhelp, but don't forget to look back down tosee what you've accomplished and help thosestill behind.

If getting into a certain ILG means beingsomebody you aren't, ask yourself if you'llreally be happy there. If somebody is makingyou uncomfortable, politely excuse yourselfand leave. You don't have to decide whereyou ultimately want to live in the next fivedays; you have four more years to decide.

And don't be scared to stand up and say"Bingo."

Eva Moy, a junior in the department ofmecihanical engineering, wanted to see theJackie Chan movie but wrote for The Techinstead.

Welcome to MIT. I'm not the first one tosay it, and I certainly won't be the last. Butwelcome anyway.

So here you begin your journey throughthis hallowed institution. Four hard years oftears and toil will shape you as the profession-al and as the person you will be. Here youstand, looking up at a long flight of stairs,ready to take the first step.

The first step is the easiest.This afternoon you will go to the Presi-

dent's convocation; it's mandatory. Within afew days, you'll figure out that "mandatory"' isonly a suggestion, like traffic lights in Boston.That's why they try to pack all the mandatorystuff at the beginning of Residence and Orien-tation Week. In the meantime, give PresidentVest a chance to tell you what a great honor itis to be here.

Seriously, though, look around. This isyour class. These are the people you will beworking with and competing against for along time to come. Pick out a friendly faceand smile at it. Wave. (There are enough her-mits at MIT.) Maybe one day you'll becomelab partners. Or best friends. Or married.Maybe you'll never see them again, but thenagain, maybe you will.

And if the convocation still doesn't interestyou, try lecture Bingo. Scan the rows duringthe speech. If you find five people asleep in arow, stand up, and say "Bingo." We'll allunderstand.

And after the convocation, after the picnic,be yourself. I'm not the first one to say it, andI certainly won't be the last.

Ask yourself if are the people you meet arereal. Are they who they say they are? Wear a

frey said, students would be able toopen these doors even when theyare normally locked at night. Theycould then walk through the mainbuildings, rather than outside.

Wisentaner said that the increas-ing number of violent crimes on andnear campus last year had littleeffect on the plan to install the newsecurity system. "We were going tomove in this direction anyway," hesaid. He also noted that mostschools, including Harvard Univer-sity, are installing similar systems.

Caroline Kwak '94, Next Housedesk captain, said the system willmake the dormitory more secure.Kwak said that she has heard thatthe Institute may place additionalaccess card readers in Next Housefor stairway access. Since two otherdormitory dining halls have beenclosed and the Next dining hall willbe serving a larger student popula-tion, these readers would give Nextresidents more privacy.

system for access into the Westgateparking lot. The access system,paired with complete perimeterfencing and lighting improvements,is being installed "to control accessand thereby reduce the incidence ofmotor vehicle theft," said Chief ofCampus Police Anne P. Glavin.This is an experiment that maybring card-key systems to otherparking lots and buildings, Glavinsaid. "It is my hope to see thisimplemented across campus," sheadded.

Beginning on Sept. 29, residentsof Next House and MacGregorHouse will unlock their dormitorieswith magnetically encoded "cardkeys."

The case of the racial incident atPhi Beta Epsilon during the springsemester will be particularly trou-blesome, Doshi said.

Crelgar, from Page I have been transported," Kane said.Kane tried to talk with Adam andkeep his spirits high. "He was thetype of kid who never complainedabout anything."

Adam Kreiger DayAdam Kreiger strongly

believed in programs that encour-aged cancer patients "not just berecipients but active doers in fight-ing disease in a different way,"Shelley Kreiger said.

He "made you almost forget thathe had this disability," and let can-cer patients know that you couldlive a normal life.

For several years Adam Kreigerparticipated in the PennsylvaniaLong Acre Expeditions teen camp-ing program. He developed TheCancer Challenge, one of this sum-mer's expeditions that involved bothhealthy participants and participantswith cancer. "Kids had a lot to learnfrom each other about how to face

'challenges that came in front ofthem," whether mountains or sick-ness, Shelley Kreiger explained.

Although Adam Kreiger wasunable to attend the programblecausc his cido-lor was worsen-ing, participants wrote to him tellinghim about its success.

Three days after Adam's death,the town of Trumbull held an annualswimming fund raiser, Swim Acrossthe Sound. Instead of being held inhis honor, it is now being held in hismemory. Adam had participated inthe fund raiser in previous years,and many people who had heard hisposition and his philosophy alsoparticipated in the event.

In Trumbull, in support of SwimAcross the Sound, Aug. 13 is nowknown as Adam Kreiger Day.

Also. the Kreiger family has setup an Adam Kreiger fund for cancerscreening and education.

control, Shelley Kreiger said."He made it seem like he could

recover from anything," Watsonsaid. But by June, "He decided thatmedical treatment wasn't going todo anything any more, just let it takecontrol."

School and the MIT communityAdam Kreiger "tried to live a

completely normal life," despite hiscancer, Watson said. He did not letit stop him from doing what hewalted to do.

"He loved this place. He wasn'tgoing to let sickness slow himdown," DKE President Kimball D.Thurston III '94 said.

He completed most of the hissophomore year classes, in additionto weekly treatments at Yale Uni-versity and in- and outpatient treat-ment at Massachusetts General Hos-pital, said Shelley Kreiger.

He always wanted to leave thehospital early, "typically get outabout a week before he was sup-posed to after a treatment," Watsonsaid.

"Adam fpit that cancer -aws amajor inconvenience in his life but it was not who he was," ShelleyKreiger said. He had friends, school,and fun - "everything else [is like]you are when you are 20 years old."

"Adam liked living," ShelleyKreiger added. "I don't think there'stoo much he didn't like."

Adam Kreiger loved the out-doors, especially the beach. "EvenIwhen he couldn't walk, he wentdown to the beach," Randolph said.

He also loved animated Disneymovies, Thurston remembered anoccasion when they came back from

0V Dalmations and jumpedthrough all the rain puddles on theway home.

Last spring he had planned onstarting classes, even though he wasweaker. '"I haven't known anybody\ ho was more courageous than he,"Randolph said.

Even though Adam Kreiger didnot like special treatment, manypeople helped him out during hisirne at MIiT. At DKE, some of hisbrothers helped him dress his openincisions, Randolph said. Some pro-;iessors went to the hospital to giveAdam Kreiger his final exams, headded.

The campus police often trans-ported him from DKE to NIGH inhis sophomore year. PatrolmanF rancis Kane was one officer whogrew to know Adam Kreiger.

"The man had a lot of guts. Hewalked to a lot of places he could

The Tech received a copy of this letter, written by Adam M.Krieger '95 and read at hisfuneral.

1, Adam Kreiger, being of sound mind, and surprisingly healthylooking body for the crap I have, do request that I be remembered as Ihave lived, and if my life has been of any value, then people willmourn me by laughing, smiling. Don't waste time missing me, I'm atthe beach -- come and spend some tinme. Enjoy it, breathe in thefresh salt air, celebrate the natural beauty of the ocean meeting theland. Never make mne a cause for your pain, I was never an achinghole in anyone's life, nor will I ever be. Don't worry about your ownmortality, I was never a cause for worry. Remember that I wouldnever miss pointing out a rainbow. When you are scared of anythingbring me along for company, I would always listen to your fears,your hurts, your angers. I will always be by your side to brighten astressful day with a dumb idea or just a smile. If 1 was strong, drawstrength from me. If I was happy, draw joy from me. If I had fun,draw fun from me. If I loved, draw love from me. Whatever I was toyou, honor my memory by keeping me forever with you for the goodI have been able to share.

With my deepest love and my biggest smile,Adam Marc Kreiger.

"Iwas quite impressed with thelezvel of professionalism exhibitedby the M\GM cast and crew, andtheir genuine concern for our satis-faction with their portrayal of cam-Ous. The producers have a realappreciation for MIT," Fitzgeraldsaid.

posed to stand there and pretend Iwas watching a bunch of policemenand firemen run into a building," hesaid. "It was kind of fun. It'll beneat when the movie comes out."

John H. Lyons, an administrativeassistant, walked past the trailertrucks at the end of the day and sawthe equipment and costumes that thefilming cast and crew had used. "Itwas fascinating - to see it and real-ize this is what it takes to make amovie that we see for granted."

Much planning involvedThe Massachusetts Film Office

initially approached Dilorio aboutthe feasibility of the project. Afteranother meeting and after MIT wassatisfied that the filming would be apositive experience, consent wasgiven, Fitzgerald said.

MIT was appropriately compen-sated for direct expenses and the useof facilities, Fitzgerald added.

MGMh worked with the state andthe Metropolitan District Commis-sion to block off Memorial Drive.Camlpus Police Lt. James P. Cap-pucci, Physical Plant Route Super-visor Nornran HI. Magnuson, Jr., anidAssistant Director for Programs TedE. Johnson also helped oversee theprocess during filming..

The campus police played aperipheral role, providing securitydetails and crowd control, accordingto Chief of Campus Police Anne P.Glavin. MGM also used a CampusPolice cruiser for the day, andBoston and State Police were onsite.

"I heard very good feedbackfromn the officers, Glavin said. Sheadded that at one point. Bridgesrealized that a real Campus Policeofficer was standing near him, andbrought him into the view of thecamera in the scene.
