Athe'na gets ombuds"manae ;By Chris Schechter

'Project Athena.has implement-ed an electronic ombudsman,"lucy," to provide students withinformation on virtually any top-ic of life at MIT.

Lucy was initially set up by,, theAthena Harassment Action TaskForce to provide counseling andhelp to harassment victims. It hasgrown significantly in scope, andmost of the. questions to lucyhave broadened to address otherissues about Wte MIT community.The service Ias been availablesince February.\

"[The range \of questions] isnot a disappointment for us.

,..Questions range from 'Is the wa-ter at MIT drinkable?' to 'Wherecan I volunteer to help the home-less?' " according' to CatherineR. Avril, Athena's manager ofexternal relations.

To gain access to lucy, studentsdo not need an Athena account.The "other option" window onAthena workstations can be usedto access lucy without actuallylogging in. Users can then eitherpose a question to lucy or browsethrough some of the ombuds-man's responses.

Two methods of feedback tostudent questions are possible. Ifrequested, the identity of the stu-

(Continued from page 1)cials met across the hall after theprotest began to determine whatthe administration's course ofaction would be. The group in-cluded Corporation Vice Presi-dent and Secretary ConstantineB. Simonides, Provost Mark S.Wrighton, Associate ProvostSamuel J. Keyser, Chairman ofthe Faculty Henry D. Jacoby,Associate Dean'fo0r StudentAffairs James R. Tewhey, Profes-sor of Ocean Engineering J. KimVandiver SM '75, Campus PoliceLt. John E. Driscoll, SeniorAssistant Director of -the NewsOffice-Charles H. Ball and sever-al others.

Keyser said the group decidedto allow the students to stay inthe office for the night. "Thesepeople are protesting, and that'spart of what happens in a univer-sity," he said. Several protestersindicated that Keyser offeredthem dinner, but they declinedthe offer as a sign of solidaritywith South Africans conductinghunger strikes.

Neither the police nor protest-ers were willing to comment onevents beyond this morning.Campus Police Lt. Charles E.Heitman, who was in charge oflast night's police detail, said heexpected 'the' "status -quo" toprevail. Last night Vandiver, theincoming faculty chair, told pro-testers he would visit them ataround 8:30 this morning, ac-cording to CAA member SossinaM. Haile '92.

The coalition planned a dem-onstration to protest a variety of.issues, including divestment, infront of the Great Sail this morn-ing. Jory D. Bell '91 explainedthe "division of labor' the coali-tion planned for the protest. "Ofthe 30 people who were here atthe beginning, about 12 or 13 arestaying for the night, [and the]others went to organize" thedemonstration at the metalsculpture.

Both protesters and policedescribed the atmosphere in theoffice as calm and civil.

dent is erased from the e-mailmessage and the answer: is thenwritten in a file that others canconsult.: Responses from lucy areonly 'made public ff students re-quest it.

If lucy is not able to answer aquestion, the service will mostlikely recommend other sourcesof information or help. Thequestions addressed to the elec-tronic ombudsman are answeredby -a diverse group of peoplefrom- different offices at MIT,who remain anonymous.

"The anonymity goes bothways, for the student as well asfor the person answering," Avrilsaid. "[Respondents] are quali-fied and understanding, but dohold other jobs," she added.Lucy's format was modeled afterthat of Nightline.

"It is not a substitute to otherresources on campus," Avril ex-plained, "but it does. offer thebenefit of anonymity as opposedto many other ways of seekinghelp." Since its creation, lucy hasprocessed several hundredmessages.

Answers typically take approx-imately a few-days to be returnedto the student. "The project isstill in its infancy, [and] we are

working :tomake -the- turnaround:.faster," Avril said. "Lucy -is 7stillgrowing."-:. : -:":.: -

Except for --a short' article inTech Talk, lucy has: not been ad-vertised or otherwise publicized.Avril noted that most of the stI-dents- who have used iucy so farheard about it through word ofmouth. The number of studentsusing lucy is increasing, Avrilsaid.

: A group of Athena managersand staff created the Athena Ha-rassment Action Task Force whenthey realized that people were be-ing harassed through e-mail.

"We tried to turn the whole sit-uation around,, .offering help viaAthena," Avril explained. Avrilsaid that despite the existence ofother, similar support systems oncampus, the distributed nature ofAthena makes it perfectly. suitedfor a counseling role, since manypeople are available to answerquestions.

The ombudsman was namedfor Lucy van Pelt, the cartooncharacter who often gives advicein the comic strip .Peanuts. "Wehad .many different ideas, butthis -[name] seemed the best forthe 'service we were providing,"Avril said.

Deborah A. Levinson/The TechPro-divestment activists occupied President Charles M.Vest's office yesterday in a sit-in initiated by the CoalitionAgainst Apartheid. The demonstrators would not say howlong they intend to stay in the office.

The Federal-Communications Commission has pro-posed an easing of the regulations concerning the numberof radio stations one licensee can own. The commissionsaid, that "the fortunes of radio broadcasting, particularlyAM broadcasting, are in decline."

The .:National Association- of Broadcasters praised theproposal, saying it. is time -to take another look at therules. But the consumer-group headed by Ralph Naderaccused the commission of sweeping out rules 'designedto protect the public' from potential abuses of power."

The rules generally prohibit common ownership ofmore than 12 AM and 12 FM stations, or of more thanone AM and one FM in the same area. The public will beable to comment on the proposals before they come upfor final. adoption.

.The commission also is seeking comments on a propos-al to increase."the minority ownership limitation from 14to 20 stations of each kind.

Next week, members of the faculty will vote on a proposalto implement a biology requirement into the General InstituteRequirements. There are obvious benefits of having all MITstudents graduate with a basic knowledge of biology, but theInstitute should- not accomplish this by adding anotherrequirement to an already limiting degree program. The facultyshould make room for biology by scrapping the ScienceDistribution requirement.

The suggested policy would replace one of the three SDrequirements with General- Biology (7.01); leaving students withonly two SDs to take. But why would students then need tofulfill a science distribution requirement? They would, throughGIRs, be taking two semesters of physics, two semesters ofcalculus, one semester of chemistry, and one semester ofbiology - a veritable smorgasbord of the basic sciences.

In fact, this question has already been answered for anoverwhelming majority of undergraduates. Currently, studentsin almost every major department can satisfy two of the threeSD requirements through their departmental program. Thatleaves one choice. With the removal of one of the three SDs,the requirement would be effectively eliminated for thesestudents.

Realizing this, the Science-Engineering Working Group, theoriginator of the biology requirement idea, stated in its 1989report that "it is preferable (though we would not at thispoint insist) that no more than one science distribution subjectout of the two remaining [after the addition of biology to theGIRl be a departmental requirement." We would at this pointinsist that SEWG's recommendation be ignored, because. itwould effectively add one more requirement for, those studentsmentioned above. Not only would -they now. have - to -takebiology, but their one non-departmental SD would remain..

With the limits now placed on the total number. of unitsfreshmen can take,.-having to take- 7.01 -would .leave studentswit h 0only:,,t:.W9,12-unit-a classes and one 9-unit class -to takeduring' .tl rfreshin year.,.Of course,-tey have the option oftaking .science-., core;,Glasses later on. in their undergraduatecareers,, but it seems'-likely that: students would,' continue to tryto complete these classes freshman year. At the end of the;first year, after this limited- opportunity. to explore other -majors, freshmen would be expected to choose a mcajor,._This_-alf seems -exceedingly unfair.

The Institute's desire to have its students well-versed in avariety of subjects is admirable. But it should not be achieved

:by an increase in the number of Institute requirements. It ispreferable to inspire students to take classes that satisfy theircuriosity and desire to learn, rather than classes that satisfy'requirements.�-- -� -- al -·r7 -� n - Il_�lls--,_Il

* For each subject which has afinal exam, no examination maybe given and no assignment mayfall due during the six dayspreceding the reading period. Ofcourse, regular classes and read-'ing assignments may continueduring the last week of the tenrm,and new material presented dur-ing this period may be covered inthe final exam.

Each subject in which no finalexam is given may have at mostone of the following during the'

six days preceding the readingperiod: '

a one-hour quiz during a regu-larly scheduled class period, or

one assignment (tern paper,take-home exam, problem set,oral presentation, etc.) fallingdue.(A' quiz of one and .one halfhours is allowed, but only if donewithin a regular class period.)

e Major assignments should beassigned early enough to allowstudents the opportunity to man-age their time effectively. Instruc-tors are asked to provide, duringthe first three weeks of classes, a

(Editor's note: The Tech receivedthis as an open letter to the MITcommunity.)

These are just a few commentsthat we (UA Committee on Edu-cational Policy) have receivedlately:

"I have a 15-page paper due onthe day of my final exam!"

"Not only do we have a two-hour test on Friday, but our labreport is due on Monday, Oh,and that's all in the same class!"

"Three problem sets due thisweek and all of my classes havefinals!"

"We have 'a final, but we stillhave an optional problem set thisweek and a design project duethis Friday!"

Now, whait were those, regula-tions again? Oh, here they are!Here are just a few excerpts fromthe 1990 "Guide for MIT Under-.graduates and Faculty Advisors":

No comprehensive examina-tions (an exam covering most ofthe term's work) can be given atany timhe other than during thefinal exam period.

e No assignment, of any kind,may fall due after the last regu-larly scheduled meeting of theclass for that subject. An instruc-tor may give an extension to anindividual student, but extensionsshould not be given to the major-ity of the class.

Any departure from these rulesrequires the -permission of the

-Committee on Academic Per-fqrmance for undergraduatesubjects or the Committee onGraduate School Poicy for grad-uate subjcts. Asking -stue nts tovote on some deiation from- therules is not an acceptableprocedure.

Today is a memorable day inMIT history: It is the Inaugura-tion of--ourF-new president,Charles M. Vest. For: students,this is probably their only oppor-tunity to see such an event duringtheir stay at MIT.

The Inaugural Committee or-ganized the Johnson Games andother events to bring the MITcommunity together for this aus-picious occasion indicating thatthey had a sincere desire to bringstudents, staff and faculty intothe festivities.

However, while students wereinvited to attend the Inaugura-tion itself, it was scheduled at amost inconvenient time for themto participate. The second-to-lastday-of -classes and the due date ofthestes seems an ironic time forour new-ipresident td':be installed.

-This shortsightedness of the

Inaugural Committee is an indi-cation that the administration isnot as in touch with the studentcommunity as they believe theyare. Any true attempt to bringthe entire MIT community to-gether must take into account theschedules of students..-While ,it is impossible to sched -

ule an event that will accommo-date everyone, obvious errors,like scheduling during the lastweek of classes, need to beavoided.

While we- appreciate the tremen-dous effort put into the organiza-tion of the Inauguration, we hopethat in the future the administra-tion will consider student lifebefore planning such importantevents.

OHO, THE PEOPLE WHO RIPPED-OFFthe- Smiths with the'runaway hit,;"Hippychick," are, currently.,tour-ing the, United States.. with .Jesus

Jones, pushing their' new album, -Goddess;A .previous albumr,. Noise, released 'on.Virgin Records and considered too embar- :'rassing :by Soho, never reached Americanshores. .

The London-based- Soho comprises gui-tarist/songwriter Timothy Brinkhurst; hisgirlfriend', Jacqueline Cuff; and her identi-cal twin sister, Pauline, formed in 1982under their original' name Groovalax (taken 'from a Funkadeii track). After a Series ofline-up changes;,'Soho, - or Timothy IDon-don and the Soho Sisters, emerged. in1987; rand the Cuff sisters' promptly re-signed their jobs as-psychiatric nurses.

Much of Soho's current success--can beattributed to the-top single -"Hippychick,"-identifiable- by its sample from the popularSmiths song, "How-Soon is -Now."- On -the-strength 'of that one.-song alone,. Soho wassigned 'to Atco. Records.-after being-.dropped -by-. Virgln-; ,. "Hppyc.c raced.-.up 'both.-alternative and To0TO40.chits-iS'nlate 1990 and caused a sensation in danceclubs. -

Actually, there seem. to be a number ofsamples on Goddess.,I would likefto seesome-liner notes 'on them. On this album,,Soho supposedly; combines punk, country,-,rock,- reggae, -soul and -psychedelia- withdance rhiyihis. vThe: lyri'cs_, ;aqcording toBrinkhuirst,.- reflect-sti.e "stfong-minded

More subdued L. fxcept}or- "Aitth-, er Year," an awful bit of sentimental gush,

Soho: Pauline CUff, (left', Jacqueline Cuff and Timothy Brinkhurstseems to fare better, "Out of My Mind," a female role models. "Zombiesong about a .woman who is unsatisfied Cardboard City," an instrumentwith her man, is loose and funky. lar to the beginning of "Godde,"Nuithin' on' My Mind" exudes a br ic 'Freaky might do well with

ad nauseum. The B-52s 'could do better."Girl on a Motorcycle" is plodding, and"God's Little Joke" can be easilydismissed.
