The major points that the pan-elists addressed last night reflected ashift from capitalism versus comn-munism to capitalism versus capital-ism, Owada said. The panelists dis-cussed how to achieve free and fairinternational trade. But, as Vestsummarized, the question is,"What's free, and what constitutesfair?"
Overall, the real job facing thenations of the world will be "toestablish the rules of the game andestablish them as soon as possible,"Vest summarized. Trust and under-standing between people are alsovital, he said.
How to promote free, fair trade?Weld said governments must
find a balance between interventionand laissez-faire. "Governmentsshould act as a referee as opposed toa spectator or player," he said.
Weld also stressed that the gov-ernment must enforce the rules ofthe market to make free trade possi-ble. "Free markets are not freeunless the rules of the game are sub-scribed to by all," he said. Headded that progress for every nation,and therefore for the world, will notbe possible if governments takeeither too skeptical or too concilia-tory an approach to trade.
However, Owada pointed outthat international trade disputes maybe hard to defuse because they orig-
The first plenary session of theIndustry Summit, held last night inKresge Auditorium, focused on"The Role of Government in aGlobal Industry." The session wasattended by world leaders in indus-try and academia, as well as mem-bers of the MIT community.
The summit is not a one-timediscussion, but an on-going dia-logue about the relation of technolo-gy, economy, and management,MIT President Charles M. Vest saidin his opening remarks. The dia-logue in the next three days of thesummit will be dominated by theseforces as the Cold War era ends, -fecontinued.
Vest expressed his hope that theforum be "a place to come togetherto discuss the latest developments ofscience and technology and econo-my" to prepare a new generation ofengineers, scientists, and managersto lead tomorrow's world.
Heading the discussion wereVest and Klaus Schwab, presidentand founder of the World EconomicForum. The discussion panel alsofeatured prominent figures in busi-ness and government: Gov. WilliamWeld of Massachusetts; PercyBamevik, president and chief exec-utive officer of ABB Asea BrownBoveri, the Swiss multinational cap-ital-goods company; John H. Gib-bons, assistant to President Clintonfor science and technology; HisashiOwada, adviser to the minister of
Industry leaders, academics, andgovernment officials converged onCambridge yesterday for a weekendof discussions on industrial develop-ment, billed as the Industry Summit.
The summit, organized by theWorid Economic Forum and IMiF,has brought more than 650 corporateand government leaders from over 50countries to attend working sessionsin I1I different areas of industry.
Missing from this group will beseveral of the biggest names sched-uiled to attend the summit. At thelast minute, United Nations Secre-tary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghalicanceled his speaking engagementat Sunday's closing session. Presi-dent Clinton and Vice President AlGore also could not attend becausethey were travelling to promoteGore's new plan for governmentand bureaucratic reform.
The guest list neverthelessremains impressive; U.S. governmnleaders include Massachusetts Gover-nor William F. Weld, Senator John F.Kerry (D-Mass.), and FredericoPenn, secretary of transportation.
As summit attendees gathered inKresge Auditorium yesterday, asmall group demonstrated on thesteps of the Student Center to protestthe narrow focus of discussion andthe elite group in attendance.

Since last spring, there havebeen several changes in the Foodservice, including the addition of aMacGregor House Convenience,Store, a Mrs. FlieOds' cookie cart,and clear labeling of vegetarianfoods. Pritchett Snack Bar hasclosed, and Walker Memorial willbe open fewer hours.
The MacGregor ConvenienceStore is "an outgrowth of the smallconvenience store that was therebefore," Leo said. It replaces theNext House convenience store,although the Next ltouse Snack Baris still open, he said.
The store was moved to Mac-Gregor because of student demnandand because it was more accessiblethan Next Hlouse, Leo said. Thestore is located in a remodeled por-tion of what was the dining hall. Itis directly accessible from the court-yard, allowing customers to enterthe store without checking in at thefront desk, he said.
The idea was to "make a storethat resembles a little morn-and-popstore" for the far west side of cam-pus, said Matthew G. Arno '93, stu-dent manager of the store.
The store is run entirely by stu-dents, with one ARA supervisor. Inaddition to the manager, there isalso one assistant manager and

In 1978, after weeks of feverishhands-on diplomacy, PresidentCarter concluded the Camp Davidaccords and then, at great politicaland personal risk, shuttled betweenCairo and Jerusalem to shore upflagging support for the agreement.And he presided triumphantly at theWhite House on March 26, 1979, asthen-Egyptian President AnwarSadat and then-Israeli Prime Minis-ter Menachern Begin signed the firsttreaty between the Jewish state andan Arab neighbor.
In contrast, President Clintonhas met only routinely with Araband Israeli leaders. Foreign affairshas been a back-burner item in hisdomestic-oriented administration.And the president, cautioned byaides against become distractedfrom his dormestic agenda, hasdeclined suggestions from admin-istration officials and appealsfrom both sides to intervene per-sonally to break the deadlock inthe 20-nmonth peace talks inWashington.
And although the Clintonadministration had declared itself a"full partner" in the talks in aneffort to revive the lagging negotia-tions that had begun in 1991, itturned out the United States wasnot even a silent partner, as Israelisand the Palestine Liberation Orga-nization talked in secret for sevenmonths in a house in the woods out-side Oslo, Norway.

With the Clinton administration about to launch a full-dress effortto win approval of the three-way trade agreement with Mexico andCanada, the senior House Democrat suggested for the first time Thurs-day that a vote on the pact may not take place until early next year.
The comnments by House Speaker Thomas S. Foley, D-Wash.,sent administration officials and congressional supporters scurryingto emphasize President Clinton's commitment to the North AmericanFree Trade Agreement.
While Rep. Robert Matsui, D-Calif., one of the key HouseDemocrats supporting the agreement, termed the question of a delaya "legitimate technical issue," he discounted the notion that it demon-strated "a lack of resolve by the president or anyone else." And WhiteHouse press secretary Dee Dee Myers insisted that the trade aree-ment had not "been put on the back burner."
"There has been no change on the timing or our commitment toNAFT'A," Myers said, although she and other administration officialsacknowledged that a delay until January was possible.
Administration denials notwithstanding, Foley's comments, andthe miniature firestorm that ensued, illustrated the sensitivity of thedebate over the agreement, and the certainty that the White Housewill have to pull out all stops to gain its approval by majorities ofboth the House and Senate.

In Tunis, theexecutive committee of the PLOdebated long into the night beforeagreeing to permit Arafat's signa-tures on the letters.
In the letters, the PLO said theprovisions of its covenant "whichdeny Israel's right to exist ... arenow inoperative." It promised toconvene the full Palestinian Nation-al Council for "formal approval" ofthe changes - a requirement of thecharter.
Israeli officials hoped to com-plete the signing Thursday night,but time ran out on the globe-trot-ting efforts of Norwegian ForeignMinister Johan Jorgen Holst.
The Norwegian diplomat, whohosted secret negotiations in Osloleading to the breakthrough, over-saw agreement on the final details atthe Bristol Hotel in Paris Thursdaymorning before jetting to Tunis,intenuding to proceed later to T elAviv.
But the PLO executive commit-tee did not finish its deliberationsuntil nearly midnight, finally givingArafat the authority to sign the doc-uments. Holst was reported to be enroute early Friday momning to Israelwith the papers.

Israel, for the first time, recog-nized the Palestinians as a nationalpeople with political rights, and thePLO as "the representative of thePalestinian people."
The PLO also said it "renouncesthe use of terrorism and other actsof violence" and promises to con-trol PLO members "to assure theircompliance ... and discipline viola-tors."

The exchange of letters Thurs-day was the first in a line of diplo-matic steps that could lead to therrest of events here: peace.

Israel and the Palestine Libera-tion Organization Thursday formal-ly ended three decades of bitter con-flict, and set the Middle East on ahopefil course for peace.
They agreed to mutual recogni-tion, and pledged an end to the hos-tilities that led to five wars, madeenemies of neighbors and left thou-sands dead. The movement towardreconciliation between the two sideswas unthinkable only months ago.
The events of the last severalweeks are "inaugurating a newepoch of peaceful coexistence, freefrom violence and all other actswhich endanger peace and stabili-ty," PLO chairman Yasser Arafatdeclared in a letter to Israeli PrimneMinister Yitzhakc Rabin.
Letters whisked by a Norwegiandiplomat from Paris to Tunis wereto be signed Friday by two old andsuspicious foes who spent the betterpart of their lives trying to destroyeach other.

"I have reached the conclusiont~hat thlere is noc other Palestinian;partner than the PLO," he said."You don't make peace withfriends. You make peace with veryunsympathetic enemies."

The Senate Thursday approved a policy on homosexuals in themilitary that critics denounced as more restrictive than PresidentClinton proposed two months ago in a compromise designed toresolve disputes over the controversial issue.
It did so in rejecting, 63 to 33, a move by liberals to strip all restric-tive language governing homosexuals in the military from the 1994defense authorization bill and to replace it with a statement that the pres-ident should determine the policy in his role as commander-in-chief.
In proposing to leave the issue to Clinton, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif, said the policy proposed by the Senate Armed Services Corm-mittee was more discriminatory than CIinton's compromise andargued it would "perpetuate the injusticedone to courageous Ameri-cans" because of their sexual orientation.
But Anned Services Commilttee Chairman Sam Nunn, D-Ga., saidCongress had a responsibility to act and contended it would be an"unfortunate abdication of our responsibility and obligations under'he Constitutioni" not to do so.
America Spendn:)n Public Schools Soars
TH-E W.4 SH1VG -0-r _ POST
WASHINGTON
The amount of money America spends on its public schools hassoared as much as health care costs, so that each household nowspends an annual average of S2,348 in taxes to fund schools.
* A large part of the rise has fattened bureaucracy and there is nosigry that the investment improved leaming, according to new studyreleased Thursday by a bipartisan group of legislators and a formereducation secretary William J. Bennett.
In New Jersey, New York, and other places where taxpayers payamong the most for their schools, the students are among lowest achiev-ers, according to their test scores and high school graduation rates.
"There is no systematic link between spending and academicachievement," said Emily Feistritzer, president of the National Centerfor Education Informnation and author of the study. "Standards, acade-mic rigor and targeted resources pay off."
Public school advocates say it is unfair to criticize the rising costsof running public schools, especially those in large urban areas,because the schools are now paying for once unheard of items, suchas metal detectors and foreign language teachers for immigrants frommore than I100 countries.
"New Jersey has more of concentration of poverty, students with lim-ited English proficiency and immigrants than Wyoming," said MichaelCasserly, executive director of the Council of Great City Schools. It isnot only unfair to compare states, he said, but is already generally agreedon t~han money alone is not the answer to school problems.

As another senior administra-tion official described it, the UnitedStates, which has been accustomedto playing a leading role in theMiddle East, as elsewhere, hasbecome a supporting player in thedrama between Israel and thePalestinians.
Secretary of State WarrenChristopher, who had made twotrips to the Middle East In hisefforts to breathe life into the peacetalks, learned of thle Isracli-Palestin-ian breakthrough when Israeli For-eign Minister Shimon Peres came tohis vacation home in Santa Barbara,Calif., to tell him Aug. 28, hoursbefore the news was given toIsraelis and the world.
What Peres wanted, said a senioradministration official7 was Christo-pher's help in briefing shocked Arabnations one the developments andurging their support for the Israeli-Palestinian agreement and their con-tinued participation in the ongoingpeace talks.
Clinton and Christopher sent let-ters to other Arab states, includingSaudi Arabia and the Persian Giulfnations, trying to enrou~rage theirfinancial support for the interimPalestinian government to be estab-lishled in the Gaza Strip, Jerichoand, eventually, much of the We~stBank.
Embarrassed that Washingtonknew almost nothing about theIsraeli-PLO talks for so long, seniorState Department officials scramn-bled to leak stories that Christophervirtually orchestrated the secretnegotiations, said one official, whoadded, "Obviously, we were reach-ing a bit."

Asked what sort of ceremony isplanned, State DepartmentSpokesman Mike McCurry said, "Anice one. A historic one." A senioradministration official, who askedto remain anonymous, said, "We'vegot a party to plan."
Clinton called the agreement a"huge moment in the history of theMiddle East, one of major historicproportions." And he called IsraeliPrime Minister Yitzhak Rabin fromAir Force One to offer his congratu-lations and a promise that Washing-ton would give its support to theagreement.
But in contrast to the Egyptian-Israeli treaty, under which the Unit-ed States has provided as much as$4 billion a year in economic andmilitary aid to both countries, thePalestinian-Israel i agreement "willInot cost anywhere near that," said asenior official, noting that nations inEurope, Asia and in the PersianGulf had offered to help pay thecost of developing the Palesltinianterritories.

THE WASHINGTON POST
IDETROIT
More than three years after he shocked the nation by helping a 54-year-old woman to kill herself, Jack Kevorkian was ordered Thursdayto stand trial on a criminal charge stemming from the most recent of17 assisted suicides in which he has participated.
The ruling by Detroit District Judge Willie G. Lipscomb Jr. was amilestone in Kevorkian's battle with Michigan authorities, setting thestage for the first jury trial of the retired pathologist who has becomeknown as "Dr. Death." Arraignment was set for Sept. 24.
Last month, Wayne County Prosecutor John D. CO'Hair chargedKevorkian, 65, with violation of Mlichigan's new law banning assist-ed suicide, which carries a maximum penalty of fotlr years imprison-ment and a $2,0Q0 fine. Under Michigan law, Lipscomb, acting muchlike a grand jury, Thursday found "probable cause" to believe thatKevorkian committed the crime.
But Lipscomb went out of his way to praise Kevorkian as "a verycourageous person" whose willingness to help others end their lives"is his method of bringing this issue to the forefront."
'He has created an atmosphere where we must act," Lipscomb said.In his ruling, Lipscomb said he was not implying that the termi-
nally ill have no right to commit suicide with a physician's help. Buthe said physician-assisted suicide should be regulated by the statelegislature and not left to the discretion of individual doctors andtheir patients. "I believe it is important for us to pause in a democraticsociety to allow the democratic process to fiuction," he said.
Scientists Tying to UseGene Technology to Create Vaccines
NEWSDA Y
A bold attempt to use a man's own genetically engineered skincells to immunize hiim against a rapidly growing skin tumor hasbegun in a Pittsburgh cancer center, doctors announced Thursday.
Th1 patient, idiaii'tified as a 69-year-oid resident of Kittaning, inwestern Pennsylvania, is the first of 20 cancer patients who will getthe highly experimental treatment that researchers hope will revolu-tionize cancer treatment.
"We believe this is a significant step in the future use of a wide vari-ety of gene therapies to treat cancer," said Dr. Michael Lotze, a co-direc-tor of the program at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
The goal of the research, he said, is to use gene-splicing technolo-gy to create vaccines that would combat breast cancer, melanoma,colorectal cancer and kidney cancer.
The vaccine was prepared by taking normal skin cclls from thepatient, growing them in laboratory dishes and inserting a gene thatmakes a hormone-like substance, IL4. These engineered cells are thenmixed with cells from the patient's tumor and injected into the patient.
The goal is to get IL4-secreting cells to the tumor, with the hopethat excess IL-4 will stimulate the patient's immune system to attackthe turner cells. The technique seems to work in laboratory mice, buthas not yet been proven in humans.

Defense Secretary Les Aspin PhD '66, Thursday canceled his tripto embattled Sarajevo as part of what defense officials say is a retreatfrom President Clinton's pledges to use U.S. troops to enforce a pos-sible peace agreement in Bosnia.
Aspin's trip next week to Europe had included a stop in Sarajevothat many say would have underscored Clinton's earlier promise thatU.S. combat troops - as many as 20,000 - would be dispatched tothe Balkans once the warring factions reached an accord in Geneva.
Defense officials acknowledged that the Aspin visit had not beenapproved by Clinton's foreign policy advisers, including AnthonyLake, the president's adviser for national security affairs.
After complaints from Lake, the Sarajevo stop was dropped. "Itmight have sent the wrong message," an Aspin aide said.
Defense officials also said a combination of circumstances nowmake it unlikely that U.S. troops would be sent, and a senior militaryofficial said use of U.S. troops to enforce a U.N.-sponsored peace"was off the boards."

Federal approval is being sought to test a mechanical resuscitationvest in a national trial, estimating that the vest could save twice asmany heart attack victims as conventional cardiopulmonary resuscita-tion techniques.
The vest, which wraps around the torso, inflates and deflates onceeach second. With each inflation, it exerts pressure evenly to allareas, restoring blood circulation.
Ten years in development, the vest is the invention of researchersat the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Last year, Hopkinslicensed a Baltimore-based company, CardioLogic Systems Inc. totest and produce it.
Pending approval by the Food and Drug Administration, trialswould begin by November on 300 to 400 patients in tile early stag-sof a heart attack. The trials would take place at several hospitals -but not at Hopkcins, because the institution as well as researchers therf-hold shares in the company.
Dr. Henry Halperin, director of the cardiac mechanics laboratoryat Johns Hopkins, said the vest has a better chance of revivingpatients and saving lives than manual CPR, which is successful I 5percent of the time.
The chief advantage, he said, is that the vest exerts pressure allaround the torso, squeezing blood to the heart and brain more effec-tively than hand compressions, which exert force in just one area.
"The more blood flow you generate during CPR, the more likelyyou are to save the victirns," Halperin said.
He said the vest is much safer than the manual techlnique, whichcan fracture ribs and damnae internal crgans.

In addition to its effect onpatients, Alzheimer's also is acrushing burden for their familiesand other loved ones because itcommonly renders the stricken indi-viduals confused, forgetful, bad-tempered and virtually unable tocare for themselves.
The agency's approval wasbased on studies of patients withmild to moderate Alzheimer's thatshowed the drug superior to a med-ically worthless placebo in a testthat evaluated memory and reason-ing ability.

$ 1,500 a year.Alzheimer's disease is believed
to afflict as many as 4 millionAmericans, most of them elderly. Itis rare in people younger than 50,but strikes about IO percent of thoseolder than 65 and nearly half ofthose 85 and older.
It is characterized by memoryloss, disorientation, depression anddeterioration of bodily functions. Itscause is unknown, but symptomsare produced by the death of braincells that secrete acetylchoeline, achemical, known as a neurotrans-mitter, that is essential to manythought processes.
Tacrine blocks the function ofenzymes that normally break downexcess acetylcholine, thereby mak-ing more of the neurotransmitteravailable to brain cells.
Miany medical experts, however,believe the disease is under-reported,since those with Alzheimer's oftendie fromn pneumonia or cardiac arrest,when the disease is actually at fault.

WASHINGTON
The U.S. Food and Drug Admin-istration Thursday approved the firstdrug for the treatment ofAlzheimer's disease, a debilitatingbrain ailment that robs millions ofelderly Americans of their memory,independence and dignity.
Tacrine hydrochloride, or THA,which will be marketed under thebrand name Cognex, has beenshown in two trials to provide smallbut meaningful benefit for somepatients suffering from mild to mod-erate Alzheimer's.
"Tacrine is the first drug shown tohave some effect onl the disease's dev-astating symptoms," FDA Commis-sioner David A. Kessler said in a state-ment. "It is not a cure for Alzheimer'sdisease, but it provides some relief forpatients and their families."
Its manufacturer, Warner-Lam-bert Co. of Morris Plains, N.J., saidthe drug could be available withinweeks. It is expected to cost about

OrAIDS victims for whom free clinics have beenopened; orphans in Atlanta who now havehomes; and ex-gang members and ex-drug_users right here in Boston who have tradedtheir guns and needles for Bibles.
Yes, we are controversial. Why? Simplyvbecause Jesus was, and that is what it takes tomake the difference that we have made. Jesusstood for truth, and our truth and authority isthe Bible. And unfortunately, when you liveby the Bible, or any standard for that matter,you will be criticized: "'In fact, everyone who wanlts to live a godly life in Christ Jesus willbe persecuted. . . (2 Timothy 3:12). Put sim- ply, Ms. Draper's allegations are preposter-ous, and I have no intention of debating heruninformed allegations. Yes, we have beenbanned from some campuses, which I believeis the result of close-minded and gossip- breeding people who go as far as to override the First Amendment of our forgotten Consti-tution.
In times like these, with David Koresh'sBranch Davidians and other obviouslydestructive groups, to a certain extent I sym- pathize with Ms. Draper's rash assessment.However, the Intemrnational Church of Christ isa movement which started with 30 people in1979 and now has grown to 45,000 world- wide. The church is made up of current andformer professional athletes, from the LosAngeles Clinpers and Cincinnati Reds, orexample, professional businessmen, doctors,lawyers, ex-gang members, ex-drug users, ex-prostitutes, and MIT students of all races,creeds, and colors. Consider the impact thatthe ICC is having: the Johannesburg Churchof Christ is the first South African Churchmade up of both blacks and whites. Cult? I think not.
When T was invited to a CSA-sponsoredbible talk, I too was critical; however, I !wassoon impressed by a group that took a standfor biblical truth. Unfortunately, history hasproven that being controversial usually meansa plethora of criticism. Consider Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, and evenJesus Christ, who were ultimately murderedfor their fight for truth.
of Christ who were not repressed but workedhard in their academic pursuits and wereencouraged to do so. They too were friendly,enthusiastic, well-rounded people who sup-ported each other and encouraged others,including myself.
I suggest that you find out who is sponsor-ing a religious activity and visit severalgroups to find the place that meets your needs.I also suggest that you find out whether thegroups you visit follow God according to thestandards in the Bible and that you not dismissthe Church of Christ a priori.
Amy Courtney G
Cult Is a Four-Letter Word
I am writing in response to Betsy L. Drap-er's letter ["Christian Student Association HasCult Ties," Sept. 2]. I am currently a memberand former president of the student-run orga-nization, and a member of the IntenmationalChurch of Christ (which by the way is notrequired to be a member of the group), inBoston.
Ms. Draper's question, "Why is theBoston/International Church of Christ recog-nized as a sect amongst other religiousgroups?"' is a good question, although it is nota new one. In fact, first century Christiansreceivedi the same response from the religiouscommunity in their fight for truth: "But wewant to hear what your views are, for weknow that people everywhere are talkingagainst this sect." (Acts 28:22). Unfortunatcly,as in the first century, America's watereddown, people-pleasing religious communityhas branded any controversial group as a cult.
As for the CSA and the BCC we admit: weare controvcrsial! If that makes us a cult inMs. Draper's eyes, so be it. However, we arenot a cult in the eyes of: former Mayor Flynnand the City of Boston in which 800 tons ofgarbage were collected around the Bostonarea and $500,000 was raised for the needy,including free medical clinics for the poor; theRed Cross for whom we have sponsoredblood drives; lcpers in India for whom a vil-lage was built through our benevolent efforts;

Housing PolicyWorth Hassles
I am writing in response to the flood ofnegative articles and letters dealing withMIT's housing policy in recent issues of TheTech. With the long waits and the administra-tive hassles that have been faced this week,the complaints are understandable. However,the benefits of this housing policy are worththe headaches of these short-lived problem s.
At first glance, one might look at MIT'smethod of finding homes for its new studentsand wonder why such a reputable schoolwould choose to go through chaos every yearwhen there arc much simpler methods of deal-ing with the issue. Why not follow the exam-ple of other schools and assign each student aroom before he arrives? This would ease thepressure on the freshmen as well as theadministration. However, one must also pon-der why one of the top schools in the worldwould care so much about its students as to bewilling to go through this ordeal so that theycan live in the place of their choice with peo-ple they can relate to and a room that meetstheir needs. I have never heard of anotherschool's housing policy that just happened toassign 90% of the freshmen to their firstchoice dorm!
Each dorm and independent living group at-. 1T as a llJsti.etVi; -/pCNoldlity ast a lUlsuL Ofstudents who have similar interests and per-sonalities choosing to live together. The flavorof each dorm cannot be determined from apicture in a brochure or a flowery-wordeddescription in a book. The tours and Resi-dence and Orientation Week activities arenecessary to capture an idea of what living ina certain dorm or ILG would really be like.Without the freedom to choose the place hewill live, a student may easily find himself ina situation which is not compatible withadjusting to being away from home, findinginner con,,tentmen=, or event academic success.
Last year, I went through the ordea! ofmoving from temporary room to temporaryroom, waiting in long lines, living out of suit-case for a week, and the general stress of RiOWeek. However, after a not-so-ideal week, Iwas assigned to a dorm that I love with peoplemuch like myself. I am grateful for the con-cem MIT shows for the welfare of its studentsand for the freedom the current system allowsus. I believe that one week of lines,headaches, and chaos is worth four years ofhappiness, success, and fun.

Do Not Dismiss ChurchOf Christ Outright
! am responding to Betsy Draper's cautionagainst involvement in the Boston Church ofChrist ["Christian Student Association HasCult Ties," Sept. 21. 1 am a Christian, but not amember of the BCC, and I have had friendswho have benefited from the group.
When I came to MIT I heard rumors whichdisposed me against the BCC, and I wanted tofind out for myself whether they were true. Ifound that, while I do not agree with all oftheir practices or teachings, this church is nota cult and it is possible for a person in it totruly follow Jesus Christ.
I have known several members of theChurch of Christ over the last four yearswhose lives showed evidence that they knowGod. A student who recently graduated frommy program is a member of and a leader inthe BCC. He is a compassionate, hardworkingperson who believes the Bible and respectsmy relationship with God. I have also knownseveral undergraduate women in the Church

****: Excellent***: Good**: Mediocre*: Poor
a great performance, Jones gets all the goodlines. His single-minded devotion to uphold-ing the law makes him, in a strange way, amore interesting character than intelligent niceguy Kimble. "I didn't kill my wvife," insistsKimble, trapped in a drainage pipe; "I don'tcare," replies Gerard, and attempts to bring inhis suspect. The Fugitive is an exciting movie,and a well-paced one, too, as Kimble'sescapes grow ever more narrow and improba-ble, eventually leading up to a taut climax anda satisfying ending. For once, the hype wasworth the wait. -Deborah A. Levinson.Loews Cheri
***]/2 In the Line of FireClint Eastwood follows up Unforgiven
with this gripping thriller about a Secret Ser-vice agent tracking a psycho stalking the pres-
energetic but bored wife (Diane Keaton) asthey become involved in solving an allegedmurder case. As in any Allen film, sexual ten-sions complement the action, with old friendTed (Alan Alda) coming on to Keaton's char-acter, and sexpot author Marcia (AnjelicaHuston) setting her sights on Allen. The resultis $6.75 worth of stakeouts, soulful stares,sexual stress, and silliness. Manhattan MurderMAystery may center upon a rather bland mur-der plot, but it also provides a tight script, sav-agely spastic Allen performances, and theexcellent supporting cast audiences havecome to expect from an Allen film.-Matthew H. Hcrsch. Loews HularvardSquare
Benedick with a cast of one-note characters(particularly lovers Claudio and Hero, whodefine young, beautiful, and vapid). The cine-matography, however, is lush and gorgeous,and Branagh brings a lightness to Shake-speare's often slapstick and off-color humorthat makes the film well worth watching.-- DAL. Loews Harvard Square
*** I/ OrlandoTilda Swinton's curious, angular beauty
makes her a perfect cast as Orlando, an Eliza-bethan courtier who never ages and wakes upone moring to discover that he has becomne awoman. Bestowed everlasting youth by QueenElizabeth (a delightfully campy QuentinCrisp), Orlando survives a broken heart,insults to his poetry, a stilt as ambassador in awar-torn Arab country, dreadfully boringsalon conversation, and even a final assault onher home and property rights, which as awoman, shed must r~!n~quisch. Based on the
Virginia Woolf novel of the same name,Orlando is a frank, witty look at the differ-ences not only in the way society treats menand women, but ultimately, at the differencesbetnween the sexes. -- DAL. Loews Nick-elodeon
** Sleepless in SeattleSleepless in Seattle, yet another entry in
the harmless romantic comedy genre, starsMleg Ryan as (surprise!) a slightly ditzyblonde and Tom Hanks as the widower shefalls for after hearing him on a latc-night radiotalk show confessing his love for his deadwife Ryan, realizing how perfectly cmpty herrelationship with her fiancee is, embarks on aquest to find Hanks, while Hanks' precociousson Jonah (Ross Malinger) pushes his fatherto answer the pile of love letters he's receivedafter the talk show stint ... and guess whoseletter -cnah nio.st wants his father to answer?The movie is consistently funny in a low-key,inoffensive way, Hanks is adequate, Ryanisn't too annoying - but Nora Ephron'sscript ties every loose end so neatly thatthere's no room for unpredictability. -DAL.Loewv Copley Place
*/2 SO I Married an Axe MuplrdererSo few SaturdaY Nigyht Lilve alumni have
gone on to make hit after conmedy hit; whyshould Mfike Myers be any exception? He'stalented, alright, but not even Steve Martincould salvage this weak scripting. Myersplays Charlie Mackenzie, a poet unable tocommit in his romantic relationships. Enterstunning blonde butcher Harriet Michaels(Nancy Travis), Charlie's dream woman.There's only one hitch -- Harriet may be theserial axe murderer described in a Weekly
or~td Nc!eftvs star-y,. 'T houlh som8c individual
jokes are genuiniiy funny -- my favoritebeing Myers' chastising his mother for- callingthe Weekly Jlorld News '"the paper" as if itwere The Boston Globe -- many jokes fallcompletely flat. Axe Murderer's one savinggrace is Myers' performance as his Scottishfather, an extension of the Everything ScottishSNL skit. Watching Myers as his dad croakingthrough "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" to bagpipeaccompaniment is worth maybe a couplebucks, but certainly not $6.75. --DAL. LoewsC~harles.
; ***The FirmDirector Sydney Pollack has assembled a
fine ensemble cast in this screen adaptation ofJohn Grisham's The Firtm. Mitch McDeere(Tom Cruise) graduates from Harvard LawSchool and accepts a huge salary from a smallMemphis, Tenn. firm. He discovers the firmworks for the mob and develops a risky planto expose the firm without going to jail or get-Ifing killed (with a little prodding from the
" FBI). The plot is fast paced - a two-and-a-half hour movie feels like only two hours -and the cast is outstanding. Cruise acts rela-tively well, but his co-stars sparkle. Gene

*** Much Ado About NothingActor/director Kenneth Branagh once
ident. Eastwood, crusty as ever, plays FrankHorrigan, ostensibly the last active agent pre-sent at the Kennedy assassination. JohnMalkovich brings incredible creepiness to thecharacter of Mitch Leary, an ex-CIA killerobsessed with presidential assassins. Learytorments Horrigan with phone calls mockingHorrigan's inability - or unwillingness - tosacrifice himself for Kennedy, and leads theSecret Service on a cross-country chase,always several steps ahead of the game. Thescript is impressively tight for one not basedon a book, and Eastwood and Malkovich bothgive over-the-top performances. If only ReneRusso's Secret Service agent had more to dothan be a foil for Horrigan's sexist remarksand later, be his love interest. -DAL. LoestsCopley Place
*** Jurassic ParkMichael Crichton's dinosaur epic trans-
lates well to the big screen (not surprisinggiven that the book read like a screenplay),and Steven Spielberg does a good job in meta-morphizing the dinosaurs from harmless clite-sies to malevolent predators. Despite fine act-ing from Sall Neill and Laura Dcrn as anarchaeologist and his palcobotanist girlfricnd,the dinosaurs, both anirnatronic and computer-generated, are clearly meant to be the stars ofthe film. Most realistic of the menagerie is thesick triceratops lolling on her side; least, theherd of grazers that stampede across a field asNeill and two children run for cover. It's goodto see Neill, a talented actor and star of manyBritish and Australian films (including MyBrilliant Career) and Demn, who finally start-ed to get plum roles after her success in Ram-
bling Rose, get the exposure they so richlydeserve. Jurassic Park isn't stellar filmmak-ing, but its individual elements add up tomake it a whirlwind, entertaining ride.-DAL. Loews Copley Place
*** Manhattan Murder MysteryWoody Allen's latest tale of angst-ridden
New York intellectuals tells the story of amild-mannered book editor (Allen) and his
again brings Shakespeare to the big screen,this time with a frothy comedy set in a sun-drenched Tuscan villa. Though the list of sup-porting cast memlrbers is inpicsbive - DenlzeWashington. Michael Keaton, and BrianBlessed, to name a few - all are outshown byBranagh's Oscar-winning wife, EmmaThompson. As sharp-tongued Beatrice,Thompson steals nearly every scene she's in;every scene, that is, except those withBranagh, who plays certified bachelorBenedick. The screen fairly sparkles when thepair is on and conversely, is merely ordinarywhen they are not. Of course, this is not somuch the fault of the actors or directors as it isof the play, which surrounds Beatrice and
Hackman gives a performance deserving ofanother Oscar nomination as Avery Tolar, alawyer who has been corrupted by years at thefirm. but still recognizes the idealism he oncehad; Holly Hunter is devastatingly funny asthe secretary who helps Mitch pull off hisscheme. Ed Harris, as the FBI agent, and Wil-fred Brimley, as the sinister security chief forthe firm, are also noteworthy. -Jeremy Hyl-ton. Loews Copley Plaza
**l/ Free WillyThere's not much to criticize in this formu-
laic story of a boy and his whale, but thenagain there isn't much to praise. Jesse (JasonJames Richter), an angry, abandoned 12-year-old who's been in and out of foster homes,gets caught vandalizing an amusement park.The park won't press charges if Jesse repairsthe damage and the movie sets course for itshappy ending, as Jesse works at the park, findsa loving new set of foster parents, andbefriends Willy (Kciko), a whale suffering incaptivity. The script sets up a few expectedobstacles in Jesse's path to happiness andWilly's path to freedom - like an evil parkowner who wants to kill Willy to collectinsurance money and Jesse's own anger aboutbeing abandoned - but there's never anydoubt a happy ending is in store. None of thisis terribly compelling, but director SimonWincer keeps the movie from being over-whelmed by sentimentality, and the acting issolid. Take a younger brother or sister to seeit. I wish I had. -- JH. General Cinema West-gate Mall
** *l/2 The FugitiveThe ultimate chase movie begins with the
ultimate special effect - a train and buswreck staged not with miniatures, but with thereal thing. The wreck frees Dr. Richard Kim-ble (Harrison Ford), wrongfully convicted ofmurder, from the bus transporting him toprison, setting up a two-hour chase betweenFord and his pursuer, the dedicated federalmarshal Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones).Ford is the big name star, and though he gives

The changes were met mostlywith approval by students. "TheKendall T stop is a crucial changesince I go to the T more than I goacross the river," said Nataiie Z.Burger '96.
"I won't adjust my life aroundSafe Ride," said Josh Erlich '94."But now I can decide if I shouldwait for Safe Ride or Just walkdel,-..ding on the wait ... I used toJUst wadk, go 1 t'1 .bucably Use Safie
Ride more."Hillary R. Hudis '94, who has
used Safe Ride "a lot to go acrossthe river to study with friends," saidshe expects "many more peoplewould use Safe Ride if they knewwhen the bus arrives because theycan easily schedule their departuresand arrivals."
Last spring, students enrolled inUndergraduate Transportation Lab(1. 102) collected data on arrival anddeparture times and the demand ofthe stops to create a fixed schedule,said David S. Cuthbert G. who con-sulted with the students. Cuthbert,Director of Special ServicesStephen D. Immerman, and CampusPolice implemented the new sched-ule, routes, and changes in stops,
Users of Safe Ride will noticenumerous changes this year in thefree shuttle service, among them afixed schedule, an additional Bostonroute. and several changes in thelocation of stops.
A new Safe Ride pamphletdctailing the changes will be avail-able in late September at the Cam-pus Police station and at other sites.
Service to Boston was split intotwo routes, Boston west and Bostoncast. Regular service was added toHuntington Hall, Epsilon Theta, andZeta Beta Tau. In Camnbridge, ser-vice expanded to include theKendaii Square subway station.
The improvements in Safe Ride"stemmed from the death of [YntgveRaustein '94] on Memorial Drive"last fall, Cuthbert said.
The Graduate Student Council islooking into future improvementsfor Safe Ride, Cuthbert said. Tenta-tive ideas include signs for thestops, longer hours, and expandedroutes. D:uring registration Wednes-day, GSC members distributed over3,500 questionnaires to investigatewhether expanded hours and routescould case the parking problemz oncampus and lessen pollution. Addi-tional questionnaires are available atthe GSC office, Cuthbert said.
Additional changes to the routesinclude scheduled stops at the cor-ner of Beacon Street and Massachu-setts Avenue, Cuthbert said. Toimprove service, West Garage,Albany Garage, the commuter park-itng lot on Albany St., and the MITMuseum have been taken off theCambridge route because of lowdemand. Vans stop there only whenrequested.

Those stories are reprintedihere, in abbreviatedform. for the benefit ofcommunity members who returned after RIOmeek.
Cable ServiceCom-ng to DormsStudents living on campus can expect MIT
Cable to offer expanded service by the sec-ond week of classes, incorporating channelsFrom Continental Cablevision, including the%.able News Network and Music Television.
Anthony Price, marketing manager forContinental Cablevision, plans to officiallyannounce the new services during the week ofSept. 6, and have Continental sales represen-'atives on campus between Sept. 13 and 24 totake orders.
Various packages will be available to stu-dents, in addition to the current MIT Cableprogramming. The basic package, available tostudents for approximately $10 per month,will include news, education, and varietypackages in addition to community program-ming and educational, municipal, and corn-munity access chanrels.
The riews packaage is set tn inchnlohuf CNN.ANN Headline News, C-SPAN 1, and C-SPAN 2, while the education package is conm--prised of the Arts and Entertainment Network
and the Discovery Channel. MTV, ESPN,Nickelodeon, Turner Network Television, theFBS SuperStation, and the USA Network will-nake up the variety package.
In addition to the cable networks available,Boston's network affiliates (WGIB3 Channel', WBZ Channel 4, WCVB Channel 5, andWHDH Channel 7) and independent StationsWFXT Channel 25, WSBK Channel 38,&'GBX Channel 44. and WQSTV Channel 68)vill be provided under the basic package.
Students will also have the option ofadding premium channels, like Home BoxOffices Showtime, the SportsChannel, Cine--nax, the MO-vie Channce, and the New Eng-and Sports Network at an additional monthlyee. According to Price, Continental plans to)ffer packages including multiple premiumhannels at discounted rates.
Price said that Cablevision currently servesalmost 50 percent of the homes in the Cam-)ridge area and expects that approximately the;ame proportion of on campus residence willEventually be receiving cable services.
Students ordering the expanded servicestill be provided with a converter to receiveind de-scramble the additional signals. How-,ver, service will be limited to on campuslousing as Continental only serves the Cam-)ridge area.
While Price said it will be possible forounges and other public areas to receive theadditional services at an increased rate, hendicated that not all premium stations would)e available in such a forum because of con-ractual agreements between Continental andhe networks.
Winchester said that he would have to looknto which premium services will be avail-:ble for such a public location and how this
will affect service to some on campus frater-nities, which solely have wiring to publiclocations.
Urbcan T. s Ne wSloan Dean
Professor Glen L. Urban became the newDean of the School of Management Wednes-day. He succeeded Lester C. Thurow, whohad lead the Sloan School since July 1987.
Urban, who served as deputy dean at Sloanfrom 1987 to 1991, has been a member of theMIT faculty for 27 years.
One of Thurow's focuses was making peo-ple aware the Sloan School existed, Urbansaid, but he wants to promote what the SloanSchool has to offer and "make Sloan school apreeminent management school of thesetimes."
Urban added that he hopes Thurow willcontinue to work in the school, and thinksthey will remain a geood team.
President Charles M. Vest said of Urban,"HIis research and teaching have been in a tra-ditional management field, but he has broughtinnovative uses of modem information tech-nology to it."
'Dean Thurow has positioned us well forthe transition to the 21st century in creatingnew international programs, encouraging thedPeelopment of leaders for ManufacturingProgram, securing resources to provide newfacilities in the new Jack C. Tang Center forManagement Education, and building facultynumbers and faculty diversity," Wrightonsaid.
".I anticipate a smooth evolution of theSchool," Vest added. "Mi IT has a comparativeadvantage over other business schoolsbecause of our understanding of thle applica-tions of technology to management, and themanagement of technology."
"Othzer mnajor business schools are strug-gling to try to achieve tic-, with engineeringthat are already strong here," Vest continued."eCoupling this with our strength in other man-agemnent areas, our international activities, andthe strategic directions that the school has set,we are on our way to being the premier man-agemnent school for the new century."
Trained in both mechanical engineeringand marketing, Urban understands the imnpor-tance of the intersection of science and engi-necring with management. This convergencewill be of particular significance to M IT as theInstitute deals with ant income moving awayfrom federal funding and towards corpora-tions. ";A lot of challenges ... are going to bemanagement challenges," Urban said.
"Ten or }5 years ago, [engineering andmanagement) could be more independent,Urban said, but engineers will have 'Lo knowmore about management to be increasinglyproductive, in the future.
Protesters PicketOutside Fraternity
gathered outside Phi Beta Epsilon yesterdayto protest the firatcrnity's response to an inci-dent last spring, when racial epithets where
shouted at four blacks students.'We're not trying to punish PBE for those
comments shouted on March 135" explainedTommie A. Henderson '95, a spokesman forthe protesters. "We feel that they were beingunresponsive to the community, and it is forthis reason that we protest them."
There was no noticeable tension betweenthe protesters and the residents of PBE."We're not incredibly thrilled about it, but itis an important thing to consider on this camz-pus. PBE fully respects their right to protestand we also support the cause of raisingracial awareness," said Michael K. Daly '94,president of PBE.
The primarily black protesters were joinedby students from a number of other campusgroups. The protest was organized by theBlack Students' Union.
Though the protest began shortly before theInter-Fraternity Council rush, Henderson saidthat the timing was largely coincidental. "PBE,as well as a lot of other fraternities, believethat this is malicious because this was duringrush. That was not our motive," he said.
The protesters emphasized that their pri-mary concerns were Educating the freshmenand promoting communication. They werealso disappointed by the results of officialefforts to promote communication.
Arthur C. Smith, dean for undergraduateeducation and student affairs, was hopeful thatthe protest will help improve the quality ofrace relations on campus. "I think there's a lotof hope that some positive activities win:come out of this," he said.
PBE is also eager to put the incident itselfin the past and concentrate on improvingfuture relations, Daly said. "We need to getbeyond the incident itself and get this campusmoving in the right direction," he said.
PBE and the protesters bring to the issuetwo opposing views. "You have two groupswho have two basic starting points not just onracism, but on all sorts of issues," Smith said."The goal isn't really to get them to agree butto get them to understand each other."

MIT is also installing the: card system foraccess into the Westgate parking lot. Theaccess system, paired with complete perimeterfencing anrd lighting imrprovemients, is beinginstalled "'to control access and thereby reducethe incidence of motor vehicle theft," saidChief of Campus Police Anne P. Glavin. TFhisis an experiment that may bring card-key sys-tems to other parking lots and buildings,Glavin said. "it is my hope to see this imple-mrented across campus," she added.
Institute-wideeHo-mecoming
To be HeldM(IT will hold its fh~rSt formal homaecomning
on the weekend of Oct. 23. A series of events,athletic and otherwvise, will take place to cele-brate the theme: "MWind and Muscle,. MITSalutes Scholar Athletes."
D3uring half-time of the traditional hmome-coming football game, former recipients ofthe GTFE Academic All-Amen'can award or anNCAA psost-graduate scholarship are honored.Collectively, MIT has received more awardsthan any other school, according to TheresaJoyce, project manager of alumni/ae activities.Fifty-nine men and women have been invitedto return, and to date sixteen have committedthemselves to the affair, Joyce said. Athleteswl'II arrive from all over the country, and oneis returning from as far away as Cyprus.
"Wie're thrilled that the Institute is usingthis theme,"' said Roger Crosley, director Cofsports information. "The fact that MolIT is hon-oring these people says a lot about its commit--mentt to the athletic depar~tment."
The weekend's busy athletic scheduleactually begins on Friday afternoon, when theewomen's soccer tearn faces Clark University,here at MIT. At MIT on Saturday, the riflesquad takes aim against Virginia MilitaryInstitute, the men's soccer team takes its turnagainst Clark, and women's field hockeymeets Worcester Polytechnic: Institute. Mlen'scross-country runners will trek to FranklinPark, in Dorchester, for the Constitution A4th-letic Conference Championships. Also, the:MIT crew teamas will participate in the Headof the Charles R~egatta, a coincidental occur-rence the hom~ecoming organizers wereunaware of until just recently.
The football game will begin at 1:00 p.m.Saturday afternoon, with Nichols Collegeopposing the Engineers.
A reception will be held for the Plonorecsafter the game andl will be open to the entireMIT community. It is currently scheduled totake place in Rockwell Cage, though Joyce
feels the location may hnave to be changed toavoid excessive noise from other athleticfacilities.
In addition to the plethora of sportingactivities, there will be= a caminival Saturday inthe parking lot of J~ohnson Athletic Centerwhich will last until half-time of the footballgame. Any MiT organization may set up abooth to play a game or offer information.Also, just prior to the football game, PhiGama~ma Delta will be barbecuing in the pitsby the Athletic Center. People may purchasemeals there or bring their own picnic lunches.
To "salute the mind," the Student CenterCommittee hias arranged a 'virtual realitydemonstration in the lobby of K~resge ~Audito-rium, to take place on Saturday and Sunday.This will also be thle feature presentation ofSaturday's carnivals
Whether or not this is the Institute's firsthomecoming is actually a matter of debate,according to Crosley. There has been an annualhmomecoming ganiae since the inception of thefootball team in 1978. This year, however,marks th~e first time campus organizations otherthian the athletic department will get involved.
The idea for a large-scale event originatedin the Alumni Office. Drawing on her experi-C'necs a," XTOb"-0Y'n ''ne-rlt zt- k-rnuniversities, Joyce began planning a home-coming that would incorporate various aspectsof MIT life. She eamphasized that this is "notjust for alurnni. It will only work if the wholecommunity participates." All living groups areencouraged to organize reunion events fortheir alumni, and to contact thle Alumni Officefor assistanc e, if necessary.

off of its ffeet on Aug. 30 when MGM? Studiosbegan filming its new movie, Blownz Awayv, inKillian Court. Filmin- will continue in theBoston area until Oct. 1, with the filmn'srelease slated for next summer.
The Killian Cosurt foostage wrill be one ofthe movie's opening scenes, introducing theecharacter played by Jeff Bridges. Bridgesplays Jimnmy Dove, a member of the BostonExplosives Ordinance Unit. The: bomb squadis called to MIT when an employee receives anotice that a bomb will detonate if she stopstyping on her computer. Bridges rushes in anddefuses the bomb - all in less than oneminute of actual movie time.
News Office Associate Director Robert C.Dilorio emphasized that the plot does notdlirectly involve MIIT or Commencement, butthe "threat is directed at an individual whohalppened to work at MI1T."
Five thousand chaairs and several hundredextras were on hand, including about 30 M~ITstaff members and students, according toGayle M. Fitzgerald, manager of conferenceservices. The extras played MIT students andtheir parents, interrupted during Comme~nce-nient exercises. The extras also included realcampus police, Bo0ston police, firemen, andbomb squad members.

Gibbons also cited Japan as arole model for government support.C- -A1 · rlrnIUl smalllI uinllsOO to dv elo'p no

inate in cultural and social differ-ences. Also, given the disparateeconomies between first and thirdworld countries, a global economyis even harder to achieve becauseindividual national economies arenot synchronized, he said.
Governments' rolesGalvin said that since the end of
the Cold War, the role of govern-ment has shifted from defense tocivilian production and global freetrade. Galvin also stressed the roleof investments in aiding economies,and urged governments to "under-stand that investments, honorablymade, wherever they are made,"will help people. "Investment over-seas promote exports," he said.
"When we trust, when we investweiill, we wiii increase lte size of ...leconornic] pie," Galvin said.

rights, women's interestes, publiceducation, and the environment,"King said in the statement.
Theresa A. Tobin, humanitieslibrarian, echnoed the concern that thesummit comprised a too limitedcross-section of the world's peoplesto address problems of wide concern."I am dismayed; I am distressed, andI am disappointed, that my institutionhas chosen to lend its prestige, itsinfluence, and some of its intellectualresources to such an elitist approachto the solution of the grave economicand social problems in our everchanging world," she said.
The speakers also included VeraKistiakowsky, professor of physics,Jonathan King, professor of biology,Alan Shihadeh G, and DavidSlaney, a local leader of the UnitedSteelworkers Union. A small groupof onlookers and supporters, whichnumbered in the teens when theprotest began, grew to at least 70 bythe protest's end.
The protesters largely agreedthat MIT and the world must faceproblems caused by the passing ofthe cold war and the economic poli-cies it engendered. They argued,however, that larger segments of thecommunity should be involved inthe discussions of these problems.
"There has been a greening atMIT. A turning to environmentaland social issues, but it does notinvolve a large fraction of the Insti-tute. There is much more that theInstitute could contribute to thesolution of the problems that thiscountry faces," Kistiakowsky said.
Slaney criticized the effbrts of theindustry and government leadersmore strongly than the other speakers."We should all be extremely worriedwhen these people get together to plananything. They put profits before jus-tice, profits before the environment-and before people," he said.
Slaney also disparaged the summitfor not including representatives fromlabor. Few representatives of laborgroups are attending the summit, butthey are present. They include LynnR. Williams, president of the UnitedSteelworkers of America.
porate leaders, this meeting willhelp to ground our relevant teachingand research programs with theworld of practice, and will reinforceour rapidly emerging strength in theindustrial sector and our long tradi-tion of cross-disciplinary and poli-cy-oriented scholarship," Vest saidin a statement in Tech Talk.
The first industry summit was heldin Davos, Switzerland, home of theWEF, in 1991. The summits - andthe sectors of industry representedhave grown each year since then.
"Because they were so success-fui, we felt we should give them anadditional distinctive dimension byholding this industry summit inCambridge, in partnership withMIT, and in collaboratoin with Har-vard," Schwab said. "In such a way,we can give the essentially policy-oriented discussions in Davos a sec-ond essential dimension: a muchmore in-depth look at the underly-ing technological forces which driveindustry today."
Many MIT departments con-tributed to the summit. FredMoavenzadeh, professor of civil andenvironmental engineering, headed ateam of 30 faculty members whoassisted in planning the program.Many of the Institute's most presti-gtous faculty will participate, rangingfrom Professor Lester Thurow, tor-mer dean of the Sloan School ofManagement, to artificial intelligencepioneer Marvin L. Minsky, professorof media arts and sciences, to Insti-tute Professor Mildred Dresselhaus.
Protesters concerned about elitism
As rain clouds gathered overKresge Oval yesterday afternoon,King and five other communitymembers criticized the organizationof the Industry Summit for failing toaddress fairly the broad socialimpact of industry and technology.

Summit scheduled over weekend
lThec summit began last night wifhthe first of three plenary sessions,chaired by Vest and Klaus Schwab,founder and president of the WEF.Private working sessions will be heldthis morning at Harvard Universityand sessions with limited publicaccess will occur in the afternoon.
Plenary sessions on ecologicalgoverance and the effects of thetechnologygap between industrialand less developed nations will beheld at MIT on Saturday and Sun-day mornings, respectively.
Summit attendees will partici-pate in programs for one of I I sepa-rate industries: automotive, energy,engineering and construction, finan-cial services, food and agriculture,health, information technologies,media and comrnmunication, miningand metals, textile trade, and trans-portatiorn and logistics.
A few seats for sessions on Fri-day and Saturday afternoon havebeen reserved for the MIT and Har-vard communities. Each session willhave either five seats or five percentof the total capacity set aside,whichever is larger. The seats will bedistributed on a first-come, first-snerved basis. Entrance badges will beavailable at Sever Hall for Harvardsessions and on the third floor of theStudent Center for MIT sessions.
Summit seeks academic dimension

Summit Criticized for Elitism Statement of DemonastratorsOpposed to Industry Summit
Thefollowing statement was read by Mel King, adjunct professorof urban studies and planning, at a demonstration on the steps of theStudent Centeryesterday at 5 p.m. The statement was signed by Kingand 37 oither-s.
As members of the MIT community, we are concerned that the
World Industry Summit about to take place in our midst reflects nei-
ther the actual range of expertise at the Institute nor the commitment
many of us feel to social welfare.We are concerned that the summit agenda does not adequately
address the genuine complexity of the issues to be discussed Sept. 9 to
12. The activities of corporate and governmental bodies transform the
social, physical, and economic environment in ways that have broad
social impact. Technological and industrial changes are linked to large
scale unemployment, growing disparity between rich and poor (both
within the United States and between countries in the northern and
southern hemispheres) and the shattering of communities as we see in
the spread of drugs and violence at home and abroad.We believe that we have a responsibility not only to government
and corporate leaders, but to leaders of employee associations,unions, consumer groups, youth groups, comnmunity associations andorganizations protecting civil rights, women's interests, public educa-
tion and the environment. Our responsibilities as teachers and schol-
ars extend to all people whose lives will be impacted by policies for-mulated at the world Industry Summit.
In the past decade many at MIT successfully pressed the Institute
to abandon its dependence on weapons development and turn its
resources toward technology for peaceful economic development. In
the present period we believe we must resist the tendency represented
by the summit to couple the Institute too closely to the private appro-
priation of social wealth and human resources.Many at MIT and in the larger community who are not represented
at the summit have valuable expertise and insight into the matters of
the conference. We invite our colleagues to join us in addressing the
emerging technological and industrial transformations with the fullest
concern for individuai human development and the eritirc social abric._ -! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. st

Earlier this summer, the housingoffice had planned to close Walkerand leave Pritchett open, Leo said.But "if the objective is to feed stu-dents nutritious meals," then MorssHall is the better choice.
Leo also received letters fromabout 30 students, almost all ofwhom were against keeping onlyPritchett open. Leo summarizedtheir opinions: "They can't seePritchett as an alternative to dinner."Pritchett offered mainly burgers,sandwiches, fries, and other snacks.

Dampier '94 said, "I can understandwhy they are closing because ofeconomic reasons, but I would liketo see both open for convenience."He added that Pritchett and MorssHall serve very different clientele.
Aaron H. Banner '96, one of thestudents who wrote to Leo, said,"I'm a little bit upset about [the newdecision]. I didn't envision thatthey'd close Pritchett entirely."
Banner also suggested additionalhours for Morss Hall and broaden-ing the menu to more closely matchthat of Lobdell Court.

about exposing the kids to scienceand technology, but rather aboutexposing them to us -- MIT stu-dents. The children looked to us asrole models. We made a little differ-ence in these kids' lives for this one
Moreover, many of the freshmenin my group were excited by work-ing with the kids and hoped to con-tinue volunteering at the elementaryschool throughout the year in theLINKS program.
City Days is for fun, but its mainpurpose is to b "a launching boadfor longterm service," Mehrotra said.
Service continues during yearCity Days is a Public Service
Center prtoram made IIn of three
parts: City Day One, where the chil-dren come to MIT; City Day Two,where the MIT students go out intoCambridge; and LINKS, where MITstudents volunteer at a Cambridgeelementary school on a weeklybasis, according to City Days ChairGwendolyn K. Lee '95.
The purpose of the City Daysprogram is to "try to get MIT stu-dents to be involved with public ser-vice, with an emphasis on educa-tion," Lee said. The kids benefitbecause they are exposed to scienceand are encouraged to stay inschool; and the MIT students benefitbecause they learn more about Cam-bridge and its residents, she added.
Lee called City Day One a suc-cess. "The kids had a lot of fun, andso did the MIT students." The Pub-lic Service Center also sponsors theLINKS program, now in its secondyear, which enables MIT students tohelp out in a class or with after-school activities on a weekly-basis.
City Day Two, where MIT stu-dents go out into the Cambridgecommunity to do volunteer work,will take place on Oct. 2. It will bereplacing what used to be PublicService Day, Lee said.
Last year, City Days One andTwo took place within a two-dayperiod. This year, the two days areseparated by a month to make it lesstiring for the freshmen, and so thatmore upperclassmen can getinvolved, Lee said.

You'd probably be embarrassed to know we're just aroundthe corner in Inman Square. We've been there since 1919 -delighting smart diners with evervthing from New Yorkstyle deli sandwiches and buffalo-sized Buffalo Wings toBaby Back Ribs and Swordfish Dijon. Food and drink fromall over the world served in poi tions so generous, theBoston Globe called them "Humongous." All at very afford-able prices. So why not come to the S&S and take in a fewcourses.And learn what great dining is all about.

5. Jonn ,ooo, Luoacn;, l-rtalaaohumble scribes' favorite play, thefumblierooski. If the officials havetoo difficult a time following thepigskin on this play, maybe theyshould move on to championshipConnect Four. Please do not changethe rules, though, just to accommo-date the zebras.
Lastly, we state publicly thatCoach Johnny Majors got the shaft(he didn't even want the elevator)from the University of Tennessee.With all the coaches in Division Ijumping ship when a better job offercomes along, it's a shame to see aloyal and classy guy get dumpedafter a couple of losses. Majorsreturns to Pittsburgh to try and res-urrect a program he once brought tothe national limelight. Good luck,coach.

Chavez won'tdisappoint his many fans in theAlamodome, as he KO's Sweat Peain !0.
Rutgers backup quarterbackBrian Fortay has redefined the term"whiner." When poor Brian wasunable to secure a starting positiondown in New Brunswick (a.k.a.Quarterback U.), he filed a lawsuitagainst the University of Miami,claiming that it hindered his crack atthe NFL. Fortay says that formercoach Jimmy Johnson promised thisblue chip recruit the starting quar-terback job at Miami if he wentthere. But "Papa" Gino Torretta beathim out, and Fortay went to theScarlet Knights. Now Fortay ridesthe pines and blames Johnson forthis. Hmm, it couldn't be becauseyou're awful, huh buddy?
