For example, "The Coop used to be the biggest music store in town," but now other more specialized stores have opened, he said. One of these businesses, Text Express, sells textbooks to Boston- area students, typically at a 13 to 15 percent discount off of the list price, according to co-founder Chris Long. For example, Text Express sells Transport Phomemenon, used in the course Transport Phenomenon (10.302), for $67, compared to the Coop's $78, or $71.20 with the rebate. Text Express distributed flyers on campus last week, but these had no bearing on the Coop's discount, Powell said. The discount was announced on Aug. 24, before the The Harvard Cooperative Soci- ety is offering members a 10 percent discount on fall textbook purchases, but does not expect to provide the usual rebate on all purchases for the year, according to General Manager Alan Powell. Students need to present their receipts at the location of purchase between Oct. 17-31 to receive the rebate. The Coop announced this change in anticipation of a further drop from the 1.0 percent rebate last year. The 10 percent textbook refund was added last spring to offset the low 1.1 percent refund of 1992. The rebate reached as high as 10 percent in the late 1980s. "The most significant thing we could do for students would be something in the area of textbook pricing," Powell said. Hopefully this fiscal year, which began July 1, will be better than last year, he said. "We have not given up on the concept of the rebate," Powell said. The Coop has about 120,000 active members, 25,000 of which are MIT and Harvard students; membership fees are $1 per year.

Quebec Voters Expected to ElectSeparatist Government

THE WASHINGTON POST

QUEBEC

Quebec voters Monday were expected to elect a separatist govern-ment pledged to leading the French-speaking province out of Canada.

Most of the last polls of the election campaign gave the separatistParti Quebecois, out of power since 1985, a five- to 10-point edgeover the incumbent party, the pro-unity Quebec Liberals. The pollsindicated that separatist candidates would prevail in 80 or more ofQuebec's 125 electoral districts - that is, in virtually all but the pre-dominantly English ones.

If Quebec's nearly 5 million voters prove the pollsters accurate,Parti Quebecois chief Jacques Parizeau, a skilled economist and for-mer provincial finance minister, would take power as premier of Que-bec within two weeks.

Although he has campaigned on broad themes of change, goodgovernment and economic renewal, Parizeau, 64, has remainedunequivocal about his intention to prepare Quebec for a referendumon sovereignty next year, and to begin negotiating with the federalgovernment and writing a Quebec constitution.

The referendum would be Quebecers' first opportunity since 1980to vote on a question that has bedeviled Canadian politics for morethan a generation. In 1980, they turned down the Parti Quebecois'plan for "sovereignty-association" with Canada by a vote of 60 per-cent to 40 percent.

Cancer-Causing Gene MutationsAccumulate with Age

LOS ANGELES TIMES

A researcher has provided the first direct evidence that cancer-causing mutations of genes accumulate with age, thereby raising therisk of cancer.

It is an article of faith for many researchers that these mutations,caused by a breakdown of the body's normal repair mechanisms, areresponsible for the high incidence of cancer among the elderly. But,until now, there has been little experimental support for the idea.

Using new genetic engineering technology, however, molecularpharmacologist Gino Cortopassi of the University of Southern Cali-

-fornia has studied the incidence of a specific mutation in a genecalled BCL2, which plays a major role in the development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes that strikes45,000 Americans each year, killing about 21,000.

Cortopassi and his colleagues report Tuesday in the Proceedingsof the National Academy of Sciences that the incidence of mutationsis 40 times as high in spleen tissue from people over age 60 as it is inpeople under 20.

Significantly, the risk of developing lymphoma is also 40-times ashigh in people over age 60 as it is in people under 20.

In a separate study, Cortopassi has also found a two- to three-foldincrease in the incidence of BCL2 mutations among smokers and acorresponding increase in the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

WASHINGTON

The plane that slammed againstthe White House early Mondaymorning had been detected by radarat National Airport minutes beforethe crash, according to federalinvestigators who are trying todetermine why Secret Service offi-cers guarding the mansion weren'twarned of the aircraft's approach.

Frank Eugene Corder, 38, a stu-dent pilot with a history of alcoholand drug abuse, stole the single-engine Cessna from an airfield northof Baltimore and died in the crash,officials said. Initial interviews withassociates of Corder suggest thecrash was intentional, federal offi-cials said, but they said they did notbelieve it was politically motivated.

FBI and Secret Service investi-gators plan to pore over FederalAviation Administration records todetermine what the FAA's radarshowed, whether it seemed to indi-cate a potential threat, and what wasdone with the information, federalsources said.

As it turned out, a patch of lawn,a holly hedge and an old magnoliatree were all that slowed down theairplane as it hurtled toward thehome of the president.

Startled uniformed Secret Ser-vice officers at the White Housesaw the descending plane at 1:49a.m. and ducked for cover. Theplane crashed onto the South Lawnof the White House, skidded,slammed through the hedge andclipped the tree before it hit a wallon the west side of the mansion.

Corder had stolen the plane froman airfield north of Baltimore, inves-tigators said. Federal officials con-ceded that Corder's flight exposed aseam in the government's muscular,electronically sophisticated zone ofpresidential defense.

Heavily armed guards protect thepresident and his home. Buildings

are searched and snipers are perchedfor presidential motorcades. Andflying over or near the White House,the Mall, the monuments and theCapitol is prohibited by federal law.But if someone chooses not to obeythe rules, they can zoom into theforbidden zone without resistance,federal officials and aviators said.

"The scenario for a crackpotpilot being able to do that is withinreason," said Leo Janssens, presi-dent of the Ohio-based AviationSafety Institute. "It's almost impos-sible to keep planes out of that areabecause it's so close to NationalAirport."

The astonishing crash raisedquestions about the basic security ofthe home and office of the presi-dent.

Only after repeated questions didCarl Meyer, a Secret Service specialagent, acknowledge that Secret Ser-vice officers had not fired on theplane to prevent it from reaching theWhite House. Asked how muchnotice the officers had of the plane,Meyer responded, "I think enoughtime to run for cover"

President Clinton and his familyare staying at Blair House, justnorth of the mansion, while theWhite House is being renovated.They were not harmed or awakenedby the crash.

"Any effort like this has to betreated as an assumed assassinationattempt," said Sen. Dennis DeConci-ni, D-Ariz. Numerous questionsneed to be answered, said the sena-tor, who sits on a subcommittee thatoversees the Secret Service.

It was unclear Monday whetherthe Secret Service has a specificplan to deal with an airborne attack.Secret Service officials declined toanswer questions on the matter.

Corder, of Perry Point, Md., waskilled on impact, officials said.Corder, a high school dropout fromAberdeen, was an Army veteranwho until recently had owned atrucking company. Until recent

weeks, he had lived with his wife onthe grounds of the Veterans Hospi-tal in Perry Point, in Harford Coun-ty. About two weeks ago, Corderseparated from his wife. Since thenhe had been living out of his car, afederal official involved in theinvestigation said.

Much about Corder and his flightcould not be determined Monday.

Federal investigators and offi-cials at the Harford County Airpark,from where Corder stole the plane,gave this account of the events lead-ing to the crash:

About 7 p.m. Sunday, the single-engine, two-seat Cessna airplanewas returned to the airfield by a stu-dent pilot who had flown it for train-ing.

Airfield manager Joseph V.Kessler said the plane was still atthe field When he left at 8:30 p.m.

At 1:49 a.m., Secret Serviceagents and witnecsse saw the planedescend toward the White House.

Eyewitnesses said the plane flewnear the Washington Monument,then banked left and turned towardthe White House.

Arthur Jones, a White Housespokesman, said the plane initiallyhit the grass lawn about 75 feetfrom a holly hedge and a magnoliatree that was planted during AndrewJackson's presidency, from 1829 to1837. The plane skidded into thehedge, and its left wing was clippedby the magnolia tree, Jones said.

The plane traveled another 30feet before crashing into the WestWing of the White House. Jonessaid. A mangled heap stoppedagainst the wall to the office of theWhite House physician, Jones said.

Navy Lt. Cmdr. Rich Fitzpatrick.who carries "thp foothil," a suit-case containing codes to launchnuclear weapons, was sleeping inthe basement of the White House.Awakened by the crash, he calledthe head of the White House mili-tary office, who called White HouseChief of Staff Leon Panetta.

TOKYO

Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama's ruling coalition suffered anunexpectedly severe defeat in the first Parliament-level test of its sup-port Sunday as an opposition candidate won by a landslide in a by-election for a seat in the upper house.

Yuzuru Tsuzuki, 43, a former Labor Ministry section chief whowas backed by six opposition parties, won 43 percent of the ballotscast for seven candidates in Aichi prefecture.

Ruling coalition candidate Jiro Mlzuio, 48, a former U.N. staffmember, polled a paltry 25 percent. A female radio disc jockey whocondemned Tokyo politicians for transforming the contest into anational power struggle came in a close third with 22 percent.

"The result creates the image that the new coalition is a weak gov-ernment," said Minoru Morita, a respected political commentator.

The defeat underscored the difficulty Murayama's Socialists andthe Liberal Democratic Party had in lining up their diverse supportersbehind a single candidate, Morita said. The two parties - rivals forfour decades -joined with the splinter New Party Harbinger to takepower June 29.

Murayama's Socialists face bleak prospects in local elections nextApril and an upper house election next July, Morita said. He predict-ed that the tripartite coalition would collapse after the July election.

The "D-day plus or minus" exer-cise covered both goals set for theinvasion force and such post-inva-sion tasks as maintaining publicorder and safety, delivering foodand medical aid to the Haitian peo-ple, and preparing the way for thereturn of deposed civilian PresidentJean-Bertrand Aristide.

Christopher's announcement ofcontributions of troops by othercountries was intended to demon-strate that Clinton's determination torestore democracy to Haiti has broadinternational support. The identitiesof most of the 17 nations thatpledged to help were known beforeMonday.

The U.N. Security Council reso-lution authorizing "all necessarymeans" to oust Haiti's military dic-tatorship calls for two separatephases of military invasion: an ill-tial group that would enter Haiti,either by force or with the passiveacquiesence of Haiti's military, tosecure control of the country; andthen a peace-keeping force underU.N. supervision that would replacethe invasion troops.

Christopher said that the 17countries all would be part of thefirst phase. But he acknowledgedthat most of them, and perhaps all,would not join the operation untilthe invasion troops, which areexpected to be overwhelminglyfrom the United States, "have creat-ed a secure environment."

Britain Warns U.S. against LiftingBosnia Embargo

LOS ANGELES TIMES

LONDON

Britain warned the United States on Monday that it will removeits peacekeeping troops from Bosnia if the United States insists onlifting the arms embargo currently in operation against the Muslim-led Bosnian government.

Britain said, however, that it will not attempt to veto any Ameri-can move at the United Nations to end the sanctions but rather willabstain, on the grounds the United States would go ahead with suchan action unilaterally.

FollAwino n vtfp hoe the II rCor s th Il;nton administration

has set a deadline of Oct. 15 for the Bosnian Serb rebels to accept aninternational peace plan that gives them only 49 percent of the geo-graphical area of the country or see the weapons embargo lifted.

The Serbs overwhelmingly rejected the peace plan in a referen-dum last month.

"If the U.N. was to decide to start supplying arms to one of thecombatants in this war," said Britsh Defense Secretary MalcolmRifkind, "there is no way in which U.N. forces could remain inBosnia on a bipartisan basis."

Britain and France, which have the most troops serving under theU.N. peace-keeping mandate in the former Yugoslavia, have opposeda lifting of the arms embargo, arguing that it would only intensify thewar.

Lifting the embargo would reunite the Serbs, Rifkind said, andinvite Russian hostility.

German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel declared: "Lifting theembargo would give rise to incalculable risks and should only beconsidered as a solution of last resort. It should not be imposed unlesswe are sure our peacemaking efforts have failed."

Clinton Inaugurates NationalService Program for Youth

LOSANGELES TIMES

WASH I NGTON

President Clinton inaugurated his national service program foryouth Monday, swearing in thousands of young recruits across thecountry who will work in schools and hospitals and help clean up theenvironment.

The program, dubbed AmeriCorps, was approved by Congresslast year to allow youths to earn college tuition or to pay off tuitionloans by performing community service.

"Service is a spark to rekindle the spirit of democracy in an age ofuncertainty," Clinton told hundreds of recruits gathered on the WhiteHouse lawn in a ceremony beamed by satellite to thousands of others.

The ceremony, attended by first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton,Vice President Al Gore and leading congressional sponsors of thenational service legislation, was delayed several hours and latermoved to the front of the White House from the larger South Lawnbecause of the crash earlier of a small aircraft on the grounds of theexecutive mansion.

Fulfilling a key pledge of Clinton's presidential campaign, Ameri-Corps is a domestic version of the Peace Corps, which was created byPresident Kennedy, the chief executive whom Clinton most admires.

Syrian Foreign Minister FaroukCharaa, on a visit last week toEurope, reciprocated. For the firsttime, he answered questions fromIsraeli journalists at a press confer-ence, spoke of an eventual "warmpeace" with Israel and said a futuremeeting between Rabin and SyrianPresident Hafez Assad is"inevitable."

On Saturday, Assad addressedhis parliament and said, "Syria real-izes the importance of a peacewhich ensures full (Israeli) with-drawal" from the Golan Heights. Headded that Syria "also realizes thatpeace has objective requirementsand will meet the objective require-ments that are agreed on."

encouraged as a family planning tooland leaves that contentious issue upto each nation's own legislation.

U.N. officials said the actionfinally agreed on by the conferencedrafting committee after an exhaust-ing series of meetings represents theworld's first attempt to deal openlywith the root causes of soaring fer-tility rates, and to develop programsthat emphasize not governmentcoercion but individual choice.

"The number of completely newnotions compared to what has comeout before - of reproductive health,reproductive rights, the notion ofunsafe abortion being a major healthproblem which governments have todo something about - all thesethings are there," said Nicolaas

Biegman of the Netherlands delega-tion, who vice-chaired the draftingcommittee.

"Sex, something that we onlywhispered about before, is a normalitem of conversation in the Westernworld now, and it's becoming a nor-mal item of conversation in the restof the world," Biegman said. "Youhave to talk about sex - you haveto talk about it just like real estateprices."

The diplomacy over the pastweek has very much reflected thegrowing influence of religion inpolitical life. Religious to a greatextent framed the debate over issuessuch as abortion, family planningand sex education, in an attempt toensure that traditional family valueswould not be lost in the rush to pro-vide new sexual health care options.

for joy at the prospect of eating with others.This proposal offers only the illusion of unity.An easy alternative is to go to people's roomsand talk to them, rather than forcing them tobe with you. If, at that point, they tell you togo away, then they certainly won't be anymore friendly when forced to be with you.Accept the fact that some people just want tobe left alone and respect their right to live thatway.

The mere idea of eliminating our choice todine where we please, as Chitaley proposes, isfrightening. One of the reasons I chose to liveat East Campus was because there are ade-quate kitchens there. I ate ARA food onlyonce last year. I cook every meal for myselfand, in the process, eat better, healthier foodand save myself a bundle. Many residentshere share this sentiment. Others might havespecial dietary needs that ARA is incapable ofproperly handling. Still others just want tohave a choice about what they want to eat onany given day. Why be forced into a limitedselection of foods when you have plenty tochoose from around Cambridge and Boston?Our right to choose the foods we eat should berespected.

Letters 10 Ile 'citorMandatory DiningWould Not Solve

ProblemsIn a recent letter ["Dining Halls Should Be

Mandatory for All," Sept. 9], Raajnish A. Chi-taley '95, proposes mandatory attendance atdining halls. However, in doing so, he fails toconsider the perspectives and needs of manystudents.

By forcing people to attend meals togetherand share in the collective experience of con-suming "half-stale strawberry shortcake andwarm soda," Chitaley believes that unity andcharacter will magically appear in livinggroups. Eating together, while certainly a wayof making people spend "quality time" withothers, is hardly the only social activity thatexists in living groups. Whatever happened tojust hanging out with friends in a more affableenvironment, like rooms, hallways, andlounges? Whatever happened to events withinyour living group? Or just working on prob-lem sets together? Chitaley argues that MIT'slack of dining halls is somehow related to stu-dents being accused of being "unsociable andnarrow-minded." People who are currentlyantisocial or narrow-minded will hardly jump

Poor Ratingsits own. Similarly, Jefferson's Republicansdestroyed the Federalists by accepting thelegitimacy of the federal government. Nowthe Republicans face a president who, accord-ing to The Economist, "draws from the sameintellectual wellsprings as many 1980sRepublicans." So the Republicans think thatletting Clinton adopt their issues would resultin the extinction of their own party. Thustheir eagerness to paint him as a tax-and-spend liberal, as teary-eyed as MichaelDukakis.

Unsurprisingly, the choice of theory seemsto depend mostly upon one's choice of party.A Republican, for instance, could neverbelieve in the "extinction theory," nor could aliberal accept the Gergen argument. Unfortu-nately for Clinton, the debate over his unpop-ularity seems to be drowning out the debateover his policies.

Hove, from Page 6

The second theory fits not just Clinton, buthis predecessors as well: Clinton is sufferingthe same fate as all other post-Vietnam, post-Watergate presidents. The public and presshave lost all respect for public figures, politi-cal or otherwise. By the very virtue of theirpresence before the public eye, movie stars,Wall Street financiers, corporate CEOs, well-known members of the press, and U.S. presi-dents have all fallen from grace. Betrayed bythe people they respected most a quarter cen-tury ago, the baby-boomers and their childrennow play it safe by not trusting anyone. It nolonger matters whether the public believesClinton guilty of unethical acts in the White-water affair. What matters more is that thecharges have been made. So long as there is ahint of betrayal, no leader can be worthy ofrespect.

wonks to propose price controls, and then byletting Hillary Clinton substitute "universalcoverage" for his original goal of lower over-all costs. Finally, Clinton put off welfarereform until his conservative reputation hadalready been destroyed.

The problem with this argument is thatmany conservatives typecast Clinton as a lib-eral even when he takes stands further rightthan they do. On the North American FreeTrade Agreement, for instance, Clintonignored the traditional dictates of his ownparty, and instead set out to court the greatRe'p»nhlfarn 'lrfre t+.o,-4 .I..*.. D.tJ t ., s . S ,":.,l ll

moved to the right, a large fraction of theRepublican ideology seemed to vanish intothin air. Suddenly Republicans were out inforce declaring protectionism a foundingplank in their party's platform. (In the end,most Republicans did support Clinton.) Dur-

ing the budget battle of 1993, Clinton specifi-cally dared Republicans to propose more bud-get cuts than he had. On health care, Clintonsnubbed the big government wing of his ownparty, which wanted a Canadian-style, single-payer system. Instead he proposed the centrist"managed competition" approach initiallyfavored by big business. The Republicanschose to ignore the conservative nature -of thehealth care package, even using the new liber-al opposition to help sack it.

The fact that Republicans seem to detestClinton more than they detest most liberalsled to the creation of the third theory: Repub-licans have no choice but to hate Clinton.Unless they destroy him, Clinton's NewDemocrat party will relegate their own partyto the dustbin of history.

In 1896 the Democrats destroyed the Pop-ulist party by adopting the latter's issues as

The "turn-to-the-left" theory: According tothe moderate and conservative crowd, Clintonsquandered the ideological edge he gave him-self during the 1992 campaign. Throughoutthe campaign, Clinton argued that traditionalliberals in his party had been wrong in theirprogrammatic prescriptions. The way to fixthe country was through a combination ofconservative free-marketeering and good oldteary-eyed compassion. Welfare could bereformed by turning recipients out into thework force. If price competition were intro-duced into the insurance market, the cost ofproviding health care could drop for all Amer-icans. If the government cut its deficit, lowerinterest rates would spur investment and leadto a higher standard of living for all Ameri-cans. These were the policy prescriptions ofthe "New Democrats" - centrist Americanswhom Clinton promised to lead to a betterworld.

According to this theory, Clinton droppedhis New Democrat pledges to run with the lib-erals. For instance, while he did slash thedeficit and raise the confidence of the bondmarket, he hurt his conservative standing bysponsoring the pork-filled "stimulus package,"a move that cost him his first painful defeat inthe Senate. Clinton fatally damaged his healthcare plan by first allowing liberal policy

"We're trying to make ourselves 'available in as many ways as possi- ible," Kraft said.

The student workers use the same computer database available lvia the World Wide Web to keep Sup-to-date on events. "Whenever wefind out something is going on, we [add it," Johnson said.

Booth prepared over summer F

campus to go for tickets. We'rehoping to be a hub for buying tick-ets," Johnson said.

"We're hoping to get things like[Student Center Committee] events.That's when the service is reallygoing to be useful," Kraft said.

The booth sold tickets for therecent Musical Theater Guild per-formance and sells super-tickets forthe Lecture Series Committee."We're trying io complement thestudent groups' sales," said Peter D.^Cu"mirgs, business manager in theCAC.

Cummings expects that groupswill continue to use booths in Lobby10 to sell tickets and provide public-ity for their events.

The amount of informationavailable at The Source includes amuch broader range than entertain-ment options. To date, Kraft said themost common question has been,"Where's the bathroom?"

Organizers hope to provide acad-emic forms, keep a television set onhand for spot news events, and - inits most recent endeavor - providea car pool service called Ridelinkthat will help commuters find rides.The booth is also a drop-off locationfor the SCC pestering service.

With Ridelink, commuters whoneed a ride or can offer a lift canregister and get a list of other com-muters in their area. Kraft set up aprogram that matches people by zipcode and along major travel routes,Cummings said.

The Ridelink program is beingsponsored jointly by The Source,the Planning Office, and the Officeof the Senior Vice President.

In the near future, The Sourcewill install a television that willshow the MIT Cable informationchannel. The television will alsobroadcast important news events.

People can get information bywalking up to the booth, calling252-1994, sending electronic mailto [email protected], or using The

Source, from Page I

The Source opened officially at 1p.m. on Aug. 23 and was staffedfrom 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every dayuntil Registration Day, except forthe weekend of rush, according toAndrew Q. Kraft '95, manager ofThe Source.

Though some constructionremains before the booth will becompleted, students are workingregularly at The Source weekdaysf1rom .V v..I* to V3.t0 . .* t

night, Safewalk uses the space forits dispatcher.

"We may expand our hours ifthere seems to be a need," but theneed is not apparent yet, Kraft said.

Source sells tickets

Kraft was hired as the managerof The Source in May, Cummingssaid. He was responsible for muchof the planning, the constructionprocess, the schedules, the trainingsession for the workers, and settingup the computer system.

"It's been a full time job becauseit's a startup," Cummings said.

Kraft was enthusiastic about theseven students that will work at TheSource. Each worker is in charge ofa different service, so they considerit more than just a part time job,Kraft said.

"It's a good staff," Kraft said."They are people who really knowthe 'Tute."

The operating costs for the boothwill be about $25,000 a year, John-son said. The vendors who use thefirst floor of the Student Center willall pay to support the operatingcosts.

The Campus Activities Complexhad hoped to expand the old infor-mation desk in the Student Centerlobby and suggested The Source asa possibility for the senior class giftlast year, Johnson said.

In addition to providing studentservices, Johnson said the CAC sawthe booth as a way to "help us tellwhat's wrong with the building." Asan example, Johnson said that thenumber of people asking where thebathrooms are suggests that theirlocations should be more clearlymarked.

Quantitative Analysts often act as generalists for up to two years, after which they specialize in one ormore of the following areas:

. Modeling financial products such as mortgage-backed securities and options» Portfolio structuring and/or asset allocationv Analysis integrated with Sales, Trading, or Investment Banking activities. Analysis of stock and bond market returns and yields* Analytical systesm development.

Qualified candidates will have a B.S. in a quantitative field such as Computer Science, Engineering,Finance, Mathematics, Operations Research, or Statistics. Good analytical and computer skills(C/Unix preferable) are required. Because so much of the analyst's work involves direct interactionwith the Firm's clients, strong interpersonal, writing and speaking skills are also important. While abackground in finance or economics is helpful, we believe that an analyst with exceptionally strongquantitative skills can come to a deep understanding of the financial markets.

Training for quantitative analysts includes:

* An introduction to securities analytics* A period of internship in different quantitative groups. Immediate hands-on training with professionals working on various projects* Licensing with the securities industry regulators® Additional technical training as needed to handle newly assigned tasks.

ed four times and the Browns hadan apparent game-tying touchdowncalled back by a penalty in a 17-10loss to the Pittsburgh. In a matchupof two AFC teams who try to playlike NFC teams, the Steelers over-came a poor performance in the firstquarter to win their first game inCleveland in the last five years. Thehero of the game was Darren Perry,who claimed three of Pittsburgh'sfour interceptions.

Remember last week when I saidthe Lions never lose indoors? Weii,they do now. Detroit was beaten10-3 by Minnesota in one of theugliest games of the week. Ugly forthe Lions, that is. The Vikings got abrilliant game from Warren Moon,who passed for 221 yards and hitQadry Ismail for a touchdown in thesecond quarter. The Minnesotadefense was the real key, though, asthey recorded six sacks and heldsuper back Barry Sanders to apathetic 16 yards on 12 carries. Atleast Wayne Fontes isn't looking tochange quarterbacks yet.

Trivia questionWe're moving up in difficulty

this week. What is Michigan run-ning back Tim Biakabutuka's realfirst name? Send answers tosports(the-tech. mit. edu.

Answer to last week's question:Walter Payton, with 125 careertouchdowns, is third on the all-time

list behind Jim Brown and JerryRice. Correct answers were givenby Joshua Allen G, Henning Cols-

man-Freyberger '96, Mark HytrosG, and Nick Bollweg '95, who don'twin anything but do get to see their

England Patriots!(laughter)An appropriate reaction. The Pet

Rocks, true to my prediction, areweil on their way to becoming thefirst team in history to score 35points a game an. .avc a losing.record. They went to 0-2 by drop-ping a 38-35 decision to the Bills instupefying fashion. New Englandcame back from a two touchdowndeficit, only to see their hopesdashed when Buffalo kicked a fieldgoal with 52 seconds left.

Drew Bledsoe attempted his bestimpression of Todd Collins, butkilled the Patsies' chances when, onthird down and 30 seconds left, he(a) threw a completion over themiddle - for less than first-downyardage, then (b) ran the ball upthrough the middle for the firstdown. Apparently Bledsoe forgotthat the pros don't stop the clock tomove the chains. The clock ran outand the Bills won their first game ofthe season.

Maybe the Redskins aren't theleague's second-worst team afterall. They pulled off one of the largerupsets (if there is such a thing in theNFL) of the week by beating theheavily favored Saints 38-24. Thehogs were helped by veteran quar-terback John Friesz's four touch-down passes and a punt return for atouchdown by Brian Mitchell.

In the Game of the Week, JoeMontana finally played against hisold team, and completely outplayedcounterpart Steve Young, as theChiefs beat the Forty-Niners 24-17in a showdown between two of theleague's best quarterbacks.

Montana racked up 203 yards forthe Chiefs on 19-of-31 passing, andthrew two touchdown passes, oneon the opening drive of the game.Young did not have such a goodday; he completed 24 of 34 passesfor 288 yards and a touchdown, butwas intercepted twice, lost a fumble,and was sacked four times, once fora safety.

The Jets won their second gameof the season in overtime, 25-22over the Denver Broncos. ReceiverRob Moore had a spectacular gamefor the Jets with 147 yards receiv-ing. including a fourth-quartertouchdown and two-point conver-sion which gave New York a 22-19lau.

The Giants, determined not to bethe first New York team to lose,scored all 20 of their points in thefirst half, then held on to beat theArizona Cardinals 20-17. Twointerceptions by Phillippi Sparksand key pass interference callsagainst the Cardinals helped theGiants keep Buddy Ryan where hebelongs - in the basement.

MIT's first goal was scored on apenalty comer shot about 15 min-utes into the game. Mangion hit theball out. to Merrilees who stoppedthe ball for Carla Oshiro '95. Oshirothen drove the ball past the Clarkdefenders and the goalie, into theleft comer of the cage. The secondgoal came 10 minutes later off ashot by Merrilees, assisted by Man-gion.

In the second half, MIT dominat-ed the game again but was unable toconvert on a number of scoringopportunities. The Engineer defensecontinued to stymie the Clarkoffense and prevented the Clarkplayers from taking any shots at theMIT goal.

The strong play and determina-tion of the entire team contributed tothe win. The field hockey teamhopes to repeat Saturday's perfor-mance when it faces Anna MariaCollege Thursday evening, andWestern New England College Sat-urday afternoon.

The women's field hockey teamdefeated Clark University this pastweekend with a score of 2-0. Thewin was a stunning achievementgiven Clark's history of dominancein New England field hockey. Ineach of the three previous meetingsbetween the two teams, the Engi-neers were shut out.

On Saturday, however, MIT dis-played impressive teamwork andcontrolled the game almost from theonset. Clark was only able to pene-trate the MIT defense of Pattie Hahn'96, co-Captain Catherine Mangion'95, Wendy Silverberg '96, Kather-ine Merrilees '97, and Ellen Hwang'97 once throughout the entiregame. Two Clark players attemptedto score on a breakaway play butwere thwarted by goalie LauraWalker '97. Walker blocked severalmore shots before the MvliT defen-sive unit was able to clear the ballout.

took the offense, they, among oth-ers, eagerly hoped for an insurancegoal.

There were numerous opportuni-ties to score, but the Engineers wereunable to increase their total or thelead. In one stretch of time they hadthree comer kicks in less than twominutes. In the'minutes that fol-lowed, there were a countless num-ber of near-misses and shotsstopped by the MHC goalie.

Mount Holyoke still presented athreat to score when it had posses-sion of the ball. With about 23 min-utes remaining, MacKay caught along shot, but then fumbled the ball.Forhinately; MacKay scrambled andrecovered the ball before the MHCoffense could reach it.

score in the first half but could notconvert. One of those instances waswhen Sarah Davis '97 intercepted aMt. Holyoke goal kick and thenpassed the ball to Wright. The shot,however, ended up hitting the cross-bar.

In the second half of play thetempo kept up, but the Engineersconvincingly controlled the offensemost of the way. Part of this wasdue to the defensive players, whoprevented the Mt. Holyoke playersfrom having a good look at the MITgoal.

In the beginning of the secondhalf, MHC took charge of theoffense annd came verv close to

scoring. The efforts succeeded witha goal in 49th minute to make thescore 2-1, with the help of anunlucky mistake by M IT goalkeeperAmy MacKay '98. MacKay caughta MHC shot, but then the ballslipped out of her arms and into thegoal.

According to head coach SuzanRowe, the goal of the women's soc-cer team is simply to win the sea-son-ending New England Women'sEight Conference Championship.Although that point in time is quitea while away, the team started itsseason well Saturday afternoon witha 2-1 win over NEW-8 foe MountHolyoke College, at MIT's Stein-brenner Stadium.

The contest started out full offast-paced action and remained thatway throughout the entire game. Onboth sides, the offensive team wasable to take the ball all ihe way iothe goal.

The Engineers were the first toscore, off of a goal by Becky Hill'95 in the 15th minute of play. Thegoal was unassisted, but Hillreceived the ball after a teammateintercepted a Mt. Holyoke throw-in.

Hill later helped MIT build a 2-0lead, but this time provided an assistto Chantal Wright '95, who scoredin the 36th minute. On the goal-scouiiring play, Hnil, ran aloig the siu-line, then gave a long arcing passthat landed in front of Wright, whowas charging down the middle ofthe field. Wright then dribbled theball past a defender and the Mt.Holyoke goalkeeper, allowing her tonet the ball easily.

After Wright's goal, the Engi-neers had many more chances to

The Engineers went back intothe pool a few hours later to playagainst the Johns Hopkins team.The MIT players were tired and didrVL serm up t0 paa.r s thllis game. Ti e

Hopkins players were much faster,and despite a strong Engineerdefense, JHU prevailed, 16-9.

Later in the afternoon, the M!Tteam traveled across the river to theHarvard pool, where they playedagainst Boston College. The Engi-neers started off well, scoring thefirst two goals of the first quarter,but by the end of the second quarter,the score was tied, 5-5. At thispoint, MIT focused on defense,resulting in thre ejfections

The score was 11-11 with tewominutes, five seconds left in thefourth quarter. The crowed cheeredon, showing that the game hadbecome very exciting. There weremany quick counters and fast pass-es, but BC managed to score on thelast shot, ending the game, 12-11.

University in the afternoon. Byday's end, each team played three orfour games against different oppo-nents.

The other schools participatingin the tournament were Harvard,Brown University, Johns HopkinsUniversity, Boston College, and theUniversity of Massachusetts,Amherst.

The day started off with theDivision III MIT team versus theDivisic n l Hu...aar d tea,-, whichproved to be a very challenginggame for the Engineers. Nonethe-less, the MIT players worked hardon a strong defense, making fourHarvard ejections. The MIT offensechallenged the opponent with goodball handling skills.

into halftime leading Florida State 20-17.Unfortunately, it turned out that the Semi-.noles had allowed the band to play the firsthalf and when the football team came out forthe second half, things turned ugly as theSeminoles eventually won 52-20.

Boston University extended its regular-season winning streak to 14 games with aneasy 45-7 victory over Colgate. The Terri-ers, who are currently ranked tenth in Divi-sion I-AA, picked up 494 yards of offense,including 321 passing yards by RobertDougherty, to completely dominate the onlyteam in the country.named after a tooth-paste.

In perhaps the most surprising Saturdayblowout, Penn State jumped out to a 28-0lead in the first quarter and never lookedback, as they beat No. 14 USC 38-14.Happy Valley was a sad place for the Tro-jans, as their only scores came on an inter-ception return in the third quarter and a driveagainst Penn State's backups late in the

score in the last minute to beat the Wildcatslast year. Not so this season, as Terry Deanthrew four touchdown passes in a 73-7 routthat should move Florida back into the num-ber one ranking. Hey, how can you arguewith a team that averages over 71 points agame?

If Florida doesn't make it back to No. 1,it will only be because Nebraska has beenscoring convincing victories over betteropponents. The Cornhuskers beat TexasTech (well, they're not exactly a power-house, but they're better than Kentucky)42-16 Thursday night behind a three touch-down performance by quarterback TommieFrazier.

In the other biggest game of the week,Ron Powlus nearly wrote himself into theNotre Dame legend, as the redshirt freshmanpassed for 187 yards and two touchdowns,and engineered a fourth-quarter scoringdrive that gave the Irish a 24-23 lead overMichigan with 52 seconds to play. However,just like the BC game last season, the Irishscored too soon, as Michigan quarterbackTodd Collins took just 45 seconds to drivethe ball 58 yards and set up a 42-yard fieldgoal to give the Wolverines a stunning26-24 victory.
