Rush Central, another featurenew to this year's R/O Week, isintended to make residence selec-tion easier and a bit less pressuredfor students new to MIT.
But other changes - includingthe scheduling of two mandatorytests in one day - may add to thepressure that freshmen feel on theirfirst full day at MIT.
Student Affairs retracted its "bad-mouthing" policy, according toEliot S. Levitt '89, staff assistant forResidence and Campus Activities.In the past, students were restrictedfrom telling freshmen about any liv-ing group other than their own.
Dormitory residents still may notspeak with malicious intent oraccuse of a person of having com-mitted crimes - acts that would beconsidered harassment under MITrules. However, residents may saytrue and unfavorable statements,
This year's Residence/Orienta-tion Week marks the beginning of anumber of changes aimed atincreasing the privacy of incomingstudents, as well as making theRush process easier and more suc-cessful..
Some of the changes, especiallythose having to do with the way inwhich living groups may contactfreshmen, are designed to placate

While the essay has been offeredfor a number of years, this is the firsttime that freshmen are being toldthat it is mandatory. The administra-tion has not said what will happen tostudents who do not take the test, butin previous years, students who nei-ther took the examination nor the APtest were simply required to take aPhase I writing subject.
Also mandatory this year is theMath Diagnostic Test, which will beoffered starting at I p.m. tomorrow.
Nearly one-third of the over5 1,200 expected new students, includ-

The prosecution of former CIA official Clair E. George on pejury.charges in the Iran-Contra scandal ended in mistrial Wednesday, inthe latest setback for the office of Independent Counsel Lawrence E.Walsh.
U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth declared the mistrial andset a new trial for Oct. 19 minutes after a jury of eight women andfour men reported for the fourth time that they were hopelessly dead-locked on all nine charges against George in their sixth day of delib-erations.
Prosecutor Craig Gillen had recommended a new trial "as quicklyas possible" before a new jury that Lamberth will impanel.
But jury foreman Steven Kirk, 38, a management cornsultanat, toldreporters that he believed another trial would be unnecessary.

High school seniors nationwide averaged slightly higher scores onthe Scholastic Aptitude Test this year, halting at least temporarily aworrisome decline blamed~ on television, immigration and inadequateeducation.
However, some experts took little solace in the current scores on.the college-entrance examination, which remain far below those of,the previous generation of students and also reflect sharp differencesamong ethnic and income groups.
After dropping to a record low last year, average performance inthe verbal section of the much dreaded test rose one point this year to423, according to a report being released Thursday.

There's No Doubt: We'fre In for a Rough CampaignBy Ronald BrownsteInLOSANGELES 77MES
With the battle fo the:WhitHouse officially joined, PresidentBush and Democrat Bill Clintonhave quickly erased any doubts.about its nature: This campaign isgoing to be fast, relentless andmean.
Already, the attacks, counterat-tacks and flanking maneuvers havereached an intensity not typicallyseen until October. And in theserancorous engagements, the twosides have exposed an aggressivephilosophy-both intend to con-stantly force the debate back ontoone or two central arguments andquickly neutralize issues that threat-en to distract from those core con-tentions.
Bush and Clinton "are eachclearly trying to avoid letting theother frame the debate on termsunfavorable to themselves," saysThomas E. Mann, director of thegovernmental studies program at theBrookings Institution. ,
As part of that is-frategy, bothmen are moving to maximize thieirdifferences on issues where theyperceive an advantage-and mini-mize them on questions where theyfeel vulnerable. Clinton, forinstance, moved a bit closer to Bushon the issue of fuel efficiency stan-dards for automobiles-a- potential-ly volatile question in Michigan andother Rust Belt battlegrounds; Bush,meanwhile, has echoed a keyClinton proposal -to, retrain

American workers.'At the sameirnlime, both cam-
paigns are-trying to frame in thesharpest possible terms two con-trasts with their opponents: one cen-tering on the econmy and the otheron trust.
In Bush's case the linchpin argu-ments are trust and taxes. Bush isportraying the Arkansas governor asa tax-and-spend liberal who wouldmake the economy even worse byexpanding government and is hidinghis intention to do so as part of abroader pattern of misleading votersabout his political agenda and per-sonal life.
For Clinton, the centerpiecearguments are the economy andtrust as well. Clinton maintains thatBush, trappedjin the grip of an obso-lete laissez faire economic theory,has failed to produce a plan torevive the economy and, now, in adesperate attempt to save hisjpbo isunleashing both wild accusationsand imiplausible pro mises he has nointention of keepih)g,,
The efforts by both sides to forcethe debate through these qcompetingprisms is perhaps'most viiible intheir skirmishing over the past weekon the economy and the federal bud-get.
In his acceptance speech lastThursday, Bush moved to reattachhimself to the conservative econom-ic agenda of restraining the scopeand size of government. Thatrequired some artful stitching. Bushhas been under fire from conserva-
tives not only for raising taxes, butalso for presiding over the:mostrapid increase in domestic spendingsince John F. Kennedy, as well as aresurgence in federal regulation.
On the podium in Houston, Bushreversed course on each of thoseissues. He promised to extend foranother year an ongoing ban onmost new federal regulations; heagain called for Congress toapprove a balanced budget amend-ment; most dramatically, he calledfor an unspecified across-the-boardtax cut-and, as a further restrainton government spending, a newcheck-off that would allow taxpay-ers to divert up to 1 0 percent of theirbill toward deficit reduction ratherthan government operations.
Many econornists immediatelyquestioned those proposals becauseBush offered little indication ofwhere he would find the spending
.cuts to reduce the existing $315 bil-lion deficit much less offset therevenue lost from his tax proposals.
Then on Monday' Bush followedhis ringing call for fiscal restraintwith the announcemeini of adnew jobtraining.program that will cost $10billion over the next five years.
'There is no way these numbersadd up," says Stephen Moore, direc-tor of fiscal studies at the libertarianCato Institute. "You can't cut taxes,raise spending and balance the bud-get."
But summing the numbers eco-nomically may be less importantthan aligning them politically. By
promising to cut overall spendingand taxes, Bush underscores his dif-fercnces with Clinton's proposals toincrease taxes and spending ondomestic programs.
Seen through that light, Bush'ssurprising Job training announce-ment comes into sharper focus as aneffort to neutralize secondaryissues-and shift the debate backonto his preferred battlefield.
Noting that he had earlier pro-posed to cut training programs fordisplaced workers, some observerssee Bush's new training initiative-like his proposal this spring to allowall Americans access to federalloans for college education-as aneffort to deny Clinton a clear con-trast on an issues he has stressed.
As Clinton put it in an address tothe Detroit Economic Club-lastFriday: "Across the country, peopleare eager for real answers abouthow we can create new jobs andsave existing jobs, but the promisesMr. Bush made (in his speech) areintended to only save onejob: his."
Stll, Clinton in the past fewdays has shifte'd his own feet inways that allow Republicans toquestion his sincerity. In that sameDetroit speech,'Clinton moved toneutralize an issue the GOP wasbanking on in the Midwest, bypromising to be "flexible" in urgingautomakers to increase the fuel ef-ciency of their cars.
The Bush administration oppos-es increasing such requirements,and argues'that insisting on greater
efficiency could wipe out thousandsof auto-manufacturing jobs through-out the Rust Belt; at the Republicanconvention last week, Michigan'sRepublican Gov. John Engler main-tained higher standards could cost40,000jobs in that state alone.
To Republican critics, Clinton'sresponse on the issue fits a patternof strategic fuzziness: "Therc arefew issues on which Gov. Clinton'sinstinct is not to waffle," says DavidTell, the Bush campaign's directorof opposition research. "I would saythat he's waffling on this one and hewill continue to waffle until hepaints himself in a word comer hecan't get out of."
Observers like Mann expectquite a bit of waffling-and accusa-tions of inconsistency-from bothcandidates as they perpctually jostlefor tactical advantage. "My view isthat for both of these guys all of thedetails are negotiable," Mann says.
But even amidst that fog, Mannsays, the two men continue to offerthe voters starkly differentapproaches: with Bush insisting thatthe key to prosperity is restrainingspending and taxes, and Clinton pin-ning his; hopes for economic revivalon often expensive government ini-tiatives in education, training, scien-tific research, infrastructure andhealth care.
'There is a dramatic contrast oneconomic and social policy betweenthese two candidates, and no matterwhat, that will come through loudand clear," Mann says.

There is a downside to everything, however, and MIT is noexception: The Institute has its fair share of racism and sexism,unfair policies, boring lectures, bad food, and - as you willprobably learn within the next few days - very difficult testsand problem sets.
When you run into these problems, remember that you areprobably not the first in your situation, and that someone canprobably help you. The most important lesson you can learnduring this, your first week at MIT, is that you need other peo-ple to survive here. Sooner than you might think, you will bethe knowledgeable veteran handing out advice to new studentsunfamniliar with the terrain.
So welcome to MIT, the best and the worst of all possibleworlds. With your help, it can only get better.

Loose Translation: Y'know those peopleyou were forced to be with in high school?Think back - the other "smart" people whowere in all your AP classes, schmoozing withfaculty, helping set up the physics demonstra-tions, and ruinning-the filmstrip projector forthe audiovisually inept history teacher -remember them? Congratulations, genius, youdecided a few months ago to spend four yearswith a worldwide sampling of those people.
However, there is a positive side. Thinkabout the time you felt the most geeky, themost outright loser-like, like the time youwere the only one going to classes on SeniorSkip Day or the time you wrote a 60-pageepic poem for an English class and everyoneelse's poem began with "There once was aman from Venus." Well, on this campus,probably even within the next few hours, youare guaranteed to see someone so nerdly thatthe way you felt during your most embarrass-ing life moment pales in comparison. In short,not only will there always be someone whocan do better than you, there will always besomeone geekier than you, too.
MIT might say: To ensure the well-round-edness of graduates, MIT has the Humanitiesand Social Sciences Distribution (HASS-D)system, which gives students a broadoverview of many humanities fields.
Loose Translation: A few humanities pro-,fessors don't care about undergraduates, arebitter at the Institute, or are simply lazy. Youwant to take classes taught by these people,
Yeah, right, welcome to MIT and all thatgarbage.
I know how it is. You've been spoon-fed alot of information over the s-ummer and bynow you've pretty much already gained theskeptical attitude toward everything you seefrom and about MIT. This is healthy andgood, and you will find it useful not only forreading the drivel of yours truly and the nuke-em-first columns of Matthew "Hazardous"Hersch here in The Tech, but especially inreading the other campus publications.
But I certainly don't want to call into ques-tion the taste of a competitor, especially TheThistle. In fact, at the end of this article I'veplaced an explicit list of bizarre and rare sexu-al activities which I will tonight be photo-copying and sending to all of your parents.
So let me get away from student publica-tions for now and give you some examples toshow you how to understand MIT propagan-da. Warning: This is satire. Quotes are madeup. Over-excitable types with copies ofInstitute regulations rolled up in their backpockets should take two squares of Ex-Laxand turn immediately to Jim's Journal. Do notcollect $200.
MIT might say: Your class is a diversegroup, so you will have a chance to interactwith all sorts of different people.
Loose Translation: Out admissions offi-cers have carefully combed through yourapplications and we think that your distribu-tion is as pleasing as possible according tosimple statistical categories: race, sex, placeof origin, etc. Of course, we can't ask aboutthe things that really matter. This means thatyour freshman roommate will enjoy PinkFloyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," StephenKing novels, inexpensive mixed drinks, imi-tating Saturday Night Live sketches, and 77ieSimpsons, just like you! MIT will be happybecause you are an Asian from Californiasharing these exact same interests with aCaucasian from Virginia; you will have to livewith the frightening realization that a hugepercentage of people growing up in the late'80s/early '90s have had the exact same expe-rience.
MIT might say: You will find that every-one here was among the absolute best in his orher high school. Therefore, almost everyonehas to live with the disappointment that atMIT, they can no longer be the absolute best.There will always be someone who can dobetter dta you.

By Matthew H.oHaohOPINIONMMOR El
punt an exam. Don't count on partial credit,. 'cause-you won't always get it. If you want it,
I- do it.*Always hand in your problem sets.
I Don't trust your advisor. Get to know admin-istrative assistants. Beg your TA.
* Drink lots of orange juice. Don't eat atLobdell. Learn how to use chopsticks. If youeat pizza every night you will hate it byNovember. Fresco's makes good burgers.
I Bathe every day. Wash your clothes.Keep your finger out of your nose; you don'tknow where that finger's been. Don't grow abeard - you'll look like an idiot
- An average human being can remainawake for 65 hours without losing conscious-ness or hallucinating. Never walk within 135feet of the MIT Nuclear Reactor, no matterhow much money they offer you.
f Find a UROP... a good UROP. Findsomething you like to do and do it. Findsomething new to do and try it. If it hurtswhen you do it, then stop doing it and consulta physician.
* Find someone you love and love them.Can't find anyone to love? Then find someoneyou hate and,,write about them; .
- No one cares where you live. Rush''doesn't matter. Try living somewhere, then- move. Trust your instincts. Alcoholics look
stupid.
* Be happy. If you're not happy, then gethappy. - . ,
' Nothing matters.· Everything matters.* You matter.* Don't read the Thistle.
Well there it is, the collected wisdom, ofone worldweary upperclassman. You shouldbe commended for finishing this column.
Because you read The Tech, you are superiorto your friends.
And remember, if rush is boring you, or ifyou are sweating profusely, then just come upto the air-conditioned offices of 7hae Tech andwatch us make a newspaper every day. Wewon't pretend to like you, and we won't giveyou free food - we'll just act like real MITstudents.
Welcome, freshman. It seemsthatgaroandthis time everyone on campus will be givingyou advice about MIT, and most of it willeither be stupidly sexual or filtered-down,wishywashy, non-committal, R/0-safe, bland,banal, trite, and simplistic.
Freshman hear "be yourself' and "don'trape anybody" a little to much. I'd like tohelp, so instead of writing about politics anddiplomacy and nuclear strategy like I usuallydo in this column, I'm going to write some-thing for freshimen, something that doesn'thave the word "condom" in it. Here's what Ihave learned about MIT in the past few years-here's the advice that I would give:
- Stay up all night. Sleep late. Try toattend more classes than you punt. Changemajors...twice. Got Advanced Placement cred-it? Use it. Fail while you can. Register formore classes than you intend to take, thendrop the ones you don't like. Take yourHASS-Ds first.
* Do you like pain? Then take 18.012. Doyou need sleep? Then take 24.00. Remember,everyone at MIT was a Course VI major atsome time or another.
* You're smarter than you think. You'realso lazier than you think. Never, ever, ever
