President;(est said in: an Oct. 18 Tech interviewthat tlie. report Uraises Some important issues thatMIT has to continue to grapple with, and [I] con-sider it still to be an open-issue." Does-anyone elsefind it strange that such a report cannot be foundin the Office of Residence and Campus Activities?

In a pat way, the housing report aftempts to an-swer all of the arguments against itself: a "pre-emptive strike," if you will. Section VI of the re-port, "Problems and Questions," says that- "Themajor arguments and responses to them follow."

I

.- -. �,.w

I predict that within three years, the Institute willtell all freshmen where, to live.

But let me step back for a second.When I was a prefrosh, I heard all the usual

warnings about why I shouldn't go to MIT. And,like all of us who are here, I was too stupid to listento, them.

I remember that on my prefrosh visit to campus,I was placed in a fraternity across the river. One ofthe freshmen in the house agreed to take me withhim to class.

My guide was going through the freshman stress;it was mid-October, and every test was giving himfresh underarm stains. After telling--me -that MIT-was hell:-. ommon knowledge, to me now, but rel-atively sh6cldng back then"'-& he told me how gladhe was to live across the river. At least t-don't haveto live over at, MIT, he said. It's nice to beable togo back~.over to the house and' get- away.-

: Now: m: a junior. Dring Residence/Orientation; Week, I made the decisionf to live:on campus. But,

-as my guide said, I didnt -have to.'- I looked at a few fraternities, Some I liked, some

I didn't, and Iultimately decided to live Oii campus.I lived in a really cool dorm, with my own bedroom

., ard a-kitchen down the hall; and I made :the choicee,;eliv6 ther -,;?fsiL'.rrtes9<; ~

:- This ,ielped ,a: lot.--Likcall freshmen,-I had my-easy Iclasses and' my hard classes, although' It hold"

' no grudges:- against the hfard ones,; especiallynot5.12, which was certainly-well worth the forfeitingof my hobbies, social life and sanity for an entiredamn term.

What kept me sane wasmy -dorm. And it was, ina sense, -my dorm because I had decided to livethere.

What we're all afraidti[ say, because we don'twant tO.-:sound obnoxious':,-is that freshman year atMiT. is more stressful than freshman year at an av-erage university. There, I've gone, and said it. Flog

- me and call me are 6ims~t.7-Why am I willing to bet that we have it tougher

than our counterparts at other universities? It's thedamn phone calls! How many times have you

- talked to one of your high school frieends, who is.now at some other renowned college, and hung upthe phone depressed because they aren't doing anywork!-It goes like this:

You: I'm tired. I haven't gotten any sleep in thelast four days. .. . -

Clueless Riend: Me either.- I was up until two lastnight and I had to get up at eight. this morning.

-You: I don't think you understand. I haven'tslept. At all.

Clueless Friend: I know, I know. I only got sixhours last night, for crying out loud. I was draggingthis morning.

You: (fuming) Whatever.Clueless Frfend: Well, it's because I have so much

work this week. I have a three page paper due to-morrow and a Freshman English test in a week.

You: (frustrated) I had three problem sets due to-day and another due tomorrow, along with a IO-page paper.

Clueless riend: Yeah, I had three problems duetoday too.

You: Not problems, problem sets, you weeknight-beer-swilling, 56-hours-of-sleep-a-week-getting,television-watching, weekend-ganja-smoking, easy-school-attending loser!

-This is why we don't tend to have many friendsfrom outside the Institute.

This is also wvhy I feel safe in saying that the MITfreshman experience is unique. Perhaps it isn't thetoughest, or most difficult, but it is certainlyunique. Which makes it unsurprising that our hous-ing system for freshmen is also unique.

After suffering through-yet another demoralizngtest taken in the chipper atmosphere of theWalkerMemorial gym, or pulling an all-nighter to do aproblem set on Athena, you don't need to go backto your room to- learn'how to work witr those offother backgrounds, or to celebrate diversity. You.need to go back to your room to recover from MIT.

The Report f the Freshman Housing Committee,which has triggered the current debate, is long anddidactic. It is written in the style of the wise oldsages trying to calm the fears of the younger mem-bers of the tribe. "You just think yo u like your cur,rent-system,' it says, 'because you don't know any,better."

I would have guessed that the Residence andCampus Activities Office was excited about, the re-port, but when I went there to find a copy, nobodyin that office had one to lend me. In fact, as far asEliot Levitt. '89, staff assistant 'for residence .pro-grams, and Assistant Dean for Student Affairs An-drew Eisenmann '75 could tell, there' were no Ciopies.of the report in that office at all. Dean Eisenmannfinally suggested I look in "techinfo," a locker onAthena, which is where I finally found it. Look itup yourself. It's a fun read,"

Ij-1 , I II · r,~f

The first argument, "Giving incoming freshmen.this major-choice means they are treated as respon-sible adults," is apparently simple enough to besummarily-dismissed in -one sentence.-" The choice, ---says' the report; "is often based 'on :inadequate in-formation and-is made iunder the- kind of pressure.th does not' foster a mature, decision."-- That's it.I've quoted you' the entire text -of the report's re-

The obvious answer, since a mature decision isn6t f0§tered, is to fiot allow any decision :to bemade-at all.

Wrong, my fair committee members.Before 1966, those who 'wanted to participate-in

rush arrived ,a week- eary, rushed, and then the rest.f6 the: frosh "a'ved for academiic Bri/tatiin. :it

worked ~'for quite'a while before tie present fi~ym-was Impplemented. Why not chaige to a week of or -

ehtatioft, follbwed by ILG rush? (This, as a friendof mine has pointed-out,'meas sthatwe could cial'it'O/R Week, attracting- the medically inclined.)

This, -bf course, asstunet teat ysu believe thingsare bad in their current form. I personally don't.According to the report, I should be living withpeople just like myself..Of the eight people in mysuite, six are non-caucasian. (If you haven't figuredit out by now, I myself am so white I put MiracleWhip on. my mayonnaise.)

And just how far would one take this plan? Whatabout tihe os-- 'I -C-..-- . .. --- ' . . LI

a coed suite, but needs to live, in an all-female dormfor religious reasons? Will there be exceptions -forminority students whd want to live in an environ-ment with,other minority students? -And if a maleneeds to live in an 41l-male'house, will the Instituteallow' that one male to go to an ILG, or will theInstitute once again make one dorm all male.

These are all good questions. And although weare -by no means the University of. Michigan-East,

,these are all going to come up and -a good numberof people are going to tell you that random housingassignments work --everywhere else and thereforethey'll work fine here. They. might be right. Ifyou go to the-Undergradiate Association meetingThursday night, you'll hear .this., Maybe not in somany words, but you'll hear~-it.' Before you agree,close your yes and imagine the dorm on campusyou 'despise the most. Hold that thought and think,,back about how-tough your -freshman year was.

Now place your freshman- year in'that dorm youdespise; It doesn't thrill me.

But in the happy world-of the report, nobody hasspecific dorms ihey haite, all. dorms are equal andeveryone wig-be equally happy living in any one ofthem, and they'll be exposed to diversity, even if wehave to stick it down their throats during their firstexposure to hell. - -

This is why, as I Said inthe beginning, I predictthat within threeC years, M!T- will tell all freshmenwhere to live. Because MIT is just like everywhereelse. "'

I say, let's apply this same logic over at theBursar's office.

e We should keep NASP. An aircraftthat would fly like an airplane into space(and back) is a great idea. Funds spent onencouraging exploration into new technol-ogies for civilian flight and transportation

'are well spent. Nothing will help this de--pressed nation more than the, growth ofcivilian -tecinologies every industrializedcountry on the planet will want to buy.Defense companies could even help out.

e As for the Stealth Bomber, Congressshould buy no more than 15 of these lert-ons. The purchase of those should be con-ditional on a significant redesign of thepresent B-2. Northrup must prove not:,only that the B-2 works, but that the it canserve an alternative mission role, such asthe reconnaissance or intelligence opera-

,tions that the.stealt'hy B-2 seems suited,,for. Short of this refitting, there is no rea-son to replace the B-52s now. Additionally,the.B>2, unlike 'the B-52, 'has no civilianuses., While the B-52, U-2 and a host ofother aircraft bearme excellent test vehi-cles for high altitude scientific studies,thoughts of a Stealth Airliner sound likelittle more than a hassle for air-traffic.controllers. ·

Hello. My name is Jennifer Lund and I am a member of the'rm Coporation.If your reaction to that last statement was She what.7 please read on. -Mypurpose here is to present a factual overview of what the Cotporation is andwhat it does. If your next reaction was 'Why should I care? let me just saythat the detions ofthe Corporation do affect your- So, if you ever decide thatyou want to know more, please remember that this information was and isavailable to you. Most ofthe information here has been paraphrased direct-ly from Bylaws of the Corporation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technoloy ,copies of which-can be obtained from the Office of the Secretary of theCorporation. This article--whch hopefuIlly will be made permanently avail-'able in an appropriate place. such as the Office of the Dean. for StudentAffairs-is not meant as a commentary on which practices,' policies, orstructures of the Corporation are good, fair, effective, or otherwise. My pointis merely that in order to make such evaluations one needs to be familiar withsome background information.

-What is the Corporation? -'The Corporation is the governing body of MIT. (Similar bodies at other uni-versities are usually called the Board of Trustees, Directors, Regents, etc.)The Corporation controls, directly or indirectly, everything about MIT-from budgets, tuition, and salaries, to the scope ofresearch and educational-pro-grams, to the composition of the faculty, to-the physical plant.- Oby~iusly,the Corporation does not handle the day-o-day administration-of.M!T.Instead, the Corporation controls indirectly, through its officers (primarilythe President of MIT, who has responsibilitty for the appointments-ofprovosts, deans; and other administratve staff and thrmough 'i ico m mit te e s

(primarily the Executive Committee, which has responsibility for the ongo-ing superintendence of MIT). The Corporation meets four times ayear, andits committees meet at various intervals .

-Who are the Corporation members?IThe Corporation currently has 98 members who are dividedinto four cate-gories:

" ex offiCio (8) " - -'-* term (no more than 45) -- . . --;>,.- life (no more than 25). .. . r . . ... :., ,'*

emeritus life members (no limit).

The ex officio members include the four officers of the CorPo ration (the[President of MITi the Treasurer, the Chair of the Corporation, and theSecretary of the Corporation),the president of the Association of Alumni andsAlumnae of MIT, and representatives Ofthe Conmmonwealth ofMassachusett(governor, chiefjustice, and commissioner ofeducation). There are currently43 tennrm members, each of whom is serving a five-year term. An individu-al may be elected to the Corporation for a mammuma of thee five-yearterms, only two of which may be conscutive. A term member caniat anytimebe elected a life member, retaining membership until she orhe becomes anemeritus life member. Emeritus life members have "retiredtfom meim-bership-they may participate fully in the Corporation but they cainbtvote. The Corporation currently has 25 life members and 22 emeritusmembers.

Anyone who is not currently affiliated with MIT (as a student, staff, or fac-ulty member) is eligible for membership on the Corporation-. Memberstend to be alumni/ae (76% are now), although that is notea requirementL Mosthave distinguished careers in business, industry, academia, law, government,or medicine. Many head their own companies; many serve on numerousboards in addition to MIT's. This year, the average (non-emeritus) age isapproximately 59. Other current statistics are shown in the table below. Alist of the Corporation members and what they do is published in the MITBulletin as well as in the back of the MITFaculty and StaffD irectry.

Hfow are Corporation members selected?The officers of the Corporationi are elected by the Corporation at the rec-ommendation of the Executive Committee of the Corporation. There is nopredetermined length of term for these members, although tradition oIdsthat a President shall serve for eight to ten years. The Chair of theCorporation, at the time of election, must be either a former (or retiring)President or a member of the Crom ration. No such restrictions apply to theother officers. The four officers are the only -salaried members of theCorporation, except that former presidents who are not officers may continueto be compensated (as professors) while they remain on the Corporation aslife members.

Visiting co -itte chairs also report oral-ly to-the XC6*rati " At-the quasrrly meetingi mmediately following tha dateofthe visit CJAC alsoproduces written repo rts rom -time to timie. The othercommittees report orally to the Corporation, Or -throuh records of their meet-irgs; It is expected that the Executivre-toimitt6 shal work intimaely withthe Peside sand the Chair of the Gorporation lto] receive and act upon the-recominendatione of the 'va;iou Corporation committees (Bylaws, 14.2.5).

A. inaembership list of each comnmittee is- published annually in TheP q 'oratioprdnd Its Committees (copies can be obtained from. the Office of

-:Wh~at bes-a 6n -at C o>ration meetings?- d :1'irr of-the Corporation usually begins each meeting by asking for-- pPi-oa of the mijnutes of the previous Corporation meeting. The Chalr tiheasks for quiestionsor discussion about any of the actions of the E'ExetiVeCommittee as presentedin summaris ofits previous meetings. (Corporatiopn

RmembeP have had A~hmaceo Wreiew- .all of these .m ateriid6asreha'nd.) In. -- March, June, aid October the Corporation approves the awarding of degrees.Thte~hairs ofany visiting comttees which have met in the interim since1he last Corporation meeting present their reports to the Corporation. TheTreasurer and the President both report on the activiti' of the quarter.Other standing or recurring committees mayf eprt; if they have met reent-Iy. After each report there is oppdrtumsityifci iiosiori aaicission.

pr1iosly^ most; of the commitees also do not make-decisions as such,biit give'adi -ee and t6remmendifions. "i bulk "of deasio" n-mald ng powerreesidbs wifi thel offlcer and the E'iecutive Comimittee-'all of whom serve atti pleasura e of the Corporation memine..,,r , : - ,

HXow'' rslhs this rele~aht to me?-In sone way or anlother, every action of the-Corporation affects you. The-ms~ajdrityra're probably transpa-rent-to 4obut then again some thing likefition raises are not. As-iroted earier, 1thi's infornation is provided primarilyso that youi might have -sme familiarity and u fdertanding when the activ-ities of the Corporation are discussed or reported.,

I am~ reasonably sure that I spent at least my first three years, at MIT nothAvi~~i vaigugest idea ^rhat the CDorporation was or what it did. I have tried

X ~pintoutplace's. where '~ cnt moeiformation if you want it or canget involved a's a student (or alum). I will. write another article answer-

- ing ay questions I receive in response to this article.

if you' svould like to get'in touch with me, or any of the 6 ther 'recent alum-ni/ae' Corporation members, our names and, addresses are listed below. Thebest way to reach me is through my email address.

"We are convinced that the Institute must begin now-toplan for the acquisition of additional undergraduate resi-dence facilities or be faced with an unacceptable risk thatthe present housing policy will have to be abandoned.The cost of acquiring these facilities will be substantialand will encourage procrastination..."

"The present pattern of de facto segregation of ethnicand racial groups and of women and men is exacerbatedby the norm that keeps most students in the same residen-tial group throughout ther four undergraduate years.This narrowing of residential experience to a small sub-set of students that is often unrepresentative of the diver-sity of students at MIT may deprive students of theper-sonal, social, and'intellectual growth that would be en-couraged by more extensive interaction with peopledifferentthan themselves." '

"Freshmen are the target of lobbying and interviewing byupperclass students that is partly informational and partlya sales pitch, a mixture of disinterested concern and self-serving selection of desirable future colleagues."'

'"...[SJtudents seemt to adapt successfully to a wide vari-ety of systems and they then give credit to the system fortheir satisfaction. This bias makes it difficult to evaluatestudent supportfor an existing system, here or elsewhere.One should bear in mind that MlT~had a very differentsystem up to 1966; and it was the Administration thatmade the change to the present system, against consider-able student resistance."

"By the year 2000, MIT could easily find itself with aracially and sexually segregated campus, 'unable to housea significant portion of its undergraduate population."

"At a university; the relevant basis of evaluation-and achievement is intellectual,-not social; the ideals aredemocratic, not exclausionary. Without denying the value 'offree association of like-minded individuals in [ILGs],it is nonetheless undesireable to have the selection into-such groups be- the first significant eventof an "MIT education. Nor is itdesirable that upperclass studentsshouldplay a role in determining whichfreshmen are i

-placed'in a-given~dormitory. Having been adhmitted toMIT. fieshmen should begiin college as -equals."
