MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL BAKER HOUSE EXECCON MEETING of Sept. 8, 1980 

This meeting was held for the purpose of discussing questions 

of the immediate crowding problem in Baker House. . 

Meeting called to order at 1:37pm by acting president Jeff Kletsky 

attendance - VPFS VPIR JudC SocC AthC Tres Secr ParI 

(President and VPRO arrived later in the meeting) 

Due to an unexpectedly high number of freshmen requlrlng 

dormitory housing this year, all undergraduate dorms have been 

severely overcrowded. In addition to the "normal" overcrowding 

in Baker House (ll's and 46's being used as quads instead of 

triples), further overcrowding has recently been imposed with 

the 06's being converted to quads. This action was taken last 

week (the second week of Rush), but as of this past weekend 

several freshmen remained in limbo, without housing assignments. 

In the House lottery held this past Saturday, two extra 

freshmen were taken into Baker House. The net result of this 

action, as well as other confusions in the lottery, is that 

four doubles are now overcrowded into triples. The members of 

Execcon generally agreed that this level of crowding is unacceptable, 

and that should additional spaces in Baker become available 

(through cancellations by upperclassmen, for example), our 

first priority should be to uncrowd these doubles. 

A resolution was thus drafted expressing our opinions on 

the overcrowding situation in Baker, to be transmitted to the 

Deans Office. (During the writing of this resolution, the 

PreRjnent ann VPRO arrived.) 

Resolution: 

We consider the current overcrowding situation in Baker 

House to be unacceptable. In the event that any further spaces 

open up in Baker, we will not consider any additional assign- 

__ rnents to Baker until all doubles have been uncrowded. We realize 

that the crowding of our "06" rooms is necessary as a temporary 

solution to the Institute-wide crowding problem; however, we 

expect that these rooms will be uncrowded in the future, and we 

will not allow these rooms to permanently remain overcrowded 

triples. 

Motion by Bill Flarsheim,Second by Mike Colucci to adopt this 

resolution Passes 9-0-0. 

Meeting adjourned at 2:08pm.

"Hi. My name's Tech MeTool--wanna dance?" 

"Sure. " 

Tech breathed a sigh of relief as he escorted the cute 

Wellesley girl onto the dance floor. It had taken him half an hour 

to get up the nerve to ask her. Then another twenty minutes for 

the guys hovering around her to clear away. These Wellesley parties 

were always so depressing. But she ~ cute! If only••. 

"Hey, thanks a lot. By the way, my name's Sue. Do you go to 

Harvard?" 

1I No - -WI . I . T•" 

"Oh--that's too bad." Oh shit, here we go again. He thought fast. 

"Would you like another beer?" 

"I don't drink, actually. But a ginger ale would be nice." Wow! 

this could be the one. They walked over towards the bar. Tech 

was sweating profusely. He had to say something. 

"So--what do you think of those Red Sox?" 

"Sorry, I hate football." More sweat. Try again. 

"Hey, let's go sit somewhere." 

"Actually I'd rather stand; but letts go over there--it's less 

crowded." Why is she toying with my mind, he wondered. One 

more try. 

"Say, do ~rou know Shelli WIcDonald? I think she lives here, too." 

"Oh--that bitch! I haven't spoken to her since she stole my boyfriend 

a year ago." OK Tech, let her make the next move. 

Silence. Then-- 

"So, what frat did you say you were from?" The kiss of death. 

"Uh - well - uh - actually, u.rn, I'm from a - a - a dorm." 

"Listen, I think my roommate's callin,a,- me. Have to leave--bye." 

"But - wait - but - can I call -" She was gone... "1rJell," he 

said to himself, "chalk another one up to experience. I guess

( 

Tech I.IcTool paid the cab driver and stepped out onto Amherst 

Alley. "Damnit--I forgot my suitcasel" he cried as the taxi sped 

off. Refusing to let a little thing like that get him down on 

his first day back, he KXXMH walked happily into the dorm. Having 

forgotten his combination, he asked the catatonic desk worker and 

opened his mailbox. The usual post-vacation collection of shit 

lay stuffed within. He pulled it out and began to sort through 

it. First was a note with a piece of used Chewing gum stuck to it. 

It said: "Tech--thanx for letting me borrow the gum; I don't need 

it anymore. ...-Nancy" The latest issue of "Seventeen" magazine 

was next. The cover read: "Ruy Cardoso tells all: Julie Foster 

threatens to sue, •• " Then there was a phone bill. He opened it: 

$300. "Wait a minute--I don't have a phonel" thought Tech; but he 

refused to let it get him down. There was also another valentine 

--returned unopened. "Well, I'll use it again next year," he said. 

Then another bill from Student Accounts: "Pay ;P25,OOO now or we'll 

kill your family," i tsaid. Finally there was another stack of 

rejection letters for summer jobs. 

iKXi Undaunted, Tech walked away from the mailboxes smiling. 

It had been a good day. He was bact home with his friends. He 

had his favorite stick of gum back. And best of all. the damn 

Secretary had forgotten to give him a copy of the latest

Dear Penthouse Forum, 

I am a student at a small, New ingland technical university, 

and an avid reader of the Forum. Erotic sexual adventures here are 

usually few and far between, so I never thought I would have an experience 

worth writing to you about. Last term, however, I met a 

girl who made me forget I'd ever heard of NGLI 

I was studying in my dormitory late one night with the door 

open, when a stunning brunette with a camera around her neck 

peered into my room. She claimed to be an architecture student 

who wanted to come in to "admire my bricks." Of course 1. invited 

her in. She sat dovm and we began to talk, and it quickly became 

obvious that her mind was not on bricksl I couldn't help staring 

at her two big, beautiful brown eyes as we chatted. She told me 

her name was Candy. 

After about ten minutes of conversation I could stand it no 

longer. Her personality was driving me crazy. I walked over to 

the door and closed it slowly. She smiled at me and I leaned down 

to kiss her. ""uJait, II Ilfhe said, stopping me; "have you got something?" 

At first I was confused, but then she said "You know-- 

I don't want to get pregnant." Relieved that this was her only 

concern, I opened the top drawer under my desk. I kept a supply 

there for situations just like this one. "This should take care 

of things," I said, and she smiled as I showed her the

memories of last night, but it all started to come bac~ to him 

anyway••• 

It had been a hell of a Pub. He was quite drunk by the time it 

started, and things got worse from there. He wasn't sure exactly 

how gx big a fool he had made of himself. Then he remembered: at 

one point he put on a dress and started waiting on tables. He 

wished he could forget that. But that wasn't all. He had a vague 

recollection of iE~~ jumping up on stage, tearing all his clothes 

off, and then trying to play the trumpet. He didn't even play the 

trumpet. He felt sick when he thought about it. He probably 

wouldn't be able to show his face in the dorm for a long time. But 

then he remembered--there was one bright spot; he had done one good 

thing last night: After the Pub was over he had crawled up the 

stairs into the Lobby when he ran into the Secretary who was carrying 

a pile of paper. Tech had stopped to ask him a question. He 

said: "Uh- when is the next eze, exec-- Execcom Lleeting? " 

and then threw up on all 220 copies of the latest

Dear Ann Landers, 

I am the former House secretary of my dormitory at a small 

New England technical school. While I was secretary, I did a 

fantastic job of writing up serious, ~nformative minutes and agendas. 

IJy successor, on the other hand, treats these impDrtant documents 

of House history in a KX~~ style which is flippant and irresponsible 

at best and cutesy at worst. Everyone with whom I've spoken about 

this tells me that I'm just jealous because his minutes and agendas 

are better and more entertaining than mine, but they are all nerds 

and don't know what they are talking about. How can I get the new 

secretary to treat the office with more respect?

COMMITTEE ON EVALUATION OF FRESHMAN PERFORMANCE 

~pril 29, 1980 

ROOM 7.133, X6771 

Dear Baker Residents, 

As your dormitory has just recently completed its room 

assignments lottery for the fall, we at the Committee for the EValuation 

of Freshman Performm~ce (CEFP) felt that now would be a good 

time to inform you of a decision we have made regarding Baker House 

Freshl"l1en. 

VIe have been in close contact with the Fresruaan Review BOard of 

your dorm for the past few months in an attempt to determine exactly 

what the problem with Baker Freshmen is. It seems than an unusually 

high proportion of Baker Freshmen have chosen to do absolutely no 

work this past term, and are consequently failing all their courses. 

While your Review Board has assured us that the situation is under 

control, and that just a few of your Freshmen are total losses, we 

have come to believe that the problem is in the nature of the living 

experience which your living group provides. 

Apparently some Baker upperclassmen have been encouraging Freshmen 

to stop working on the weekends--especially Saturday nights. As 

you well know, this is against Institute policy. Furthermore, it 

has been rumored that your upperclassmen have been telling It'"'rosh 

that it's "OK" if they don't get an A on every test. In .fact, there 

have been charges that Freshmen have been told that "all you have to 

do is pass." 

Your Freshman Review Board has suggested weekly Freshman Shower 

Nights to help alleviate the Freshmen problem. IilTe think an alternative 

solution is preferable: Beginning immediately, all Frosh in 

Baker will be relocated into l.1acGregor, where the atmosphere is more 

conducive to studying. ~Je feel that this move will help Freshmen in 

two ways. First, they will mal~e more A's. Second, no longer will 

they have to read the

From: A Modest JUdge of Correctness 

To: JG 

Subject: Correct English Usage 

Sir, 

In the last issue of the j,",linutes, the phrase "to not approve" 

caught my eye. In the future, try to not split your infinitives. 

For the benefit of those of us who prefer to read precise, 

picturesque, proper prose in praiseworthy paragraphs, rather than the 

unpleasant products of poor grammar, I prescribe the following practical 

precepts to guide you in your painstaking pursuit of periection: 

1. liJrite complete sentences. Not fragments. 

2. When writing, dangling participles should not be used. 

J. To write gralrunatiCally, dangling infinitives should not be 

used either. 

4. "Each t • and "none" take singular verbs. Thus, each of the 

2 sentences below are incorrect: 

a) &ach of the 2 sentences below are incorrect. 

b) None of the above 2 sentences are correct. 

Because t'are t ' is used in place of "is", none of the above 

2 sentences are correct. 

5. Don't include in your sentsnces words which serve no basic 

purpose. 

II P.S. 

Stop mispelling words in the 

Grammatically yours,

The LAST 

BAKER EXECCON liiliETING AGENDA 

I'm struggling to get this agenda out before the meeting (I thought 

that might be a good idea). Leeting to be held tonight (Tuesday, 

Lay 20, 1980) at 8:00pm on the roof• 

••• the agenda for this evening: 

1) Approval of the minutes of the Tue bay i) Execcon L~eeting 

2) Approval of the minutes of the LJed i.lay 14 House Heeting 

) Appropriation of~60 for fines - Uike 

4) Discussion of the sumlner--and the future - i,lark 

5) Suspension of the Bylaws to do anything else I've forgotten - JG 

6) Setting the time and date of the next Execcon weeting (in September) 

7) Adjournment for the summer 

As Tech LcTool paclts his bags and boxes up his books, he pauses 

to reflect on the past ~x year. What has he learned? Can his existence 

here be summarized in a set of second order partial differential 

equations, or is there something more? . 

Our hero wanders out into the hallway, which is buzzing with 

activity. Half of his neighbors are packing also, the rest are 

either drunk, or stoned, or well on their way. He exchanges addresses 

with a couple of them, promises to write (though he's almost certain 

he won't), then returns to his room. 

The dorm sure seems a lot smaller than it did when arrived so long 

ago as a confused, arrogant freshman. This year he even learned where 

all the electrical closets were, and how easy it was to cut off someone's 

power if they were playing their stereo too loud. He definitely 

felt like a real Bakerite. 

But Tech also felt old--very old. He almost xXt wished he were 

a confused, arrogant freshman again. That way he could start over, 

and do all the things he should have done. He could get ax laid ~is 

freshman year like everyone else did (or so they claimed). 

Tech closes his suitcase and reaches for XB the dormphone to call 

a taxi. He is very glad to be getting the hell away from here for a 

while. But he also knows from experience that hetll be glad xm. to 

see September roll around again--though he'd never admit it to anyone, 

And as the Secretary prepares to pack away his typewriter, HBax 

he too reflects on the past year. But before he makes the mistake of 

revealing his innermost thoughts to his reading public, he thinks 

better of it and decides to let them guess instead. 

R/O ~Jeek will be upon us soon. But for now-- I at least want to 

go home and work on getting a tan. 

I close with an observation (attributed originally to Craig 

Albert--former Agenda Secretary) on the work still to be done: 

"If seven maids with seven mops 

Swept it for half a year, 

Do you suppose," the Walrus said, 

"That they could get it clear?" 

"I doubt it." said the Carpenter 

And shed a bitter tear. 

until September, 

JG

The Secretary sat at his desk--dead tired. His entire room 

was packed away. He was leaving tomorrow morning. The last 

thing he wanted to do now was the

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING: 

A Special Execcon Meeting will be held on Monday, 

September ~, 1980 at l:JO P.M. in the Master Suite Lounge 

for the purpose of discussing questions of the immediate 

crowding problem in Baker House.

MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL BAKER HOUSE EXECCON MEETING of Sept. 8, 1980 

This meeting was held for the purpose of discussing questions 

of the immediate crowding problem in Baker House. 

Meeting called to order at 1:37pm by acting president Jeff Kletsky 

attendance- VPFS VPIR JudC SocC AthC Tres Secr ParI 

(President and VPRO arrived later in the meeting) 

Due to an unexpectedly high number of freshmen requlrlng 

dormitory housing this year, all undergraduate dorms have been 

severely overcrowded. In addition to the "normal" overcrowding 

in Baker House (11's and 46's being used as quads instead of 

triples), further overcrowding has recently been imposed with 

the 06's being converted to quads. This action was taken last 

week (the second week of Rush), but as of this past weekend 

several freshmen remained in limbo, without housing assignments. 

In the House lottery held this past Saturday" two extra 

freshmen were taken into Baker House. The net result of this 

action, as well as other confusions in the lottery, is that 

four doubles are now overcrowded into triples. The members of 

Execcon generally agreed that this level of crowding is unacceptable, 

and that should additional spaces in Baker become available 

(through cancellations by upperclassmen, for example), our 

first priority should be to uncrowd these doubles. 

A resolution was thus drafted expressing our opinions on 

the overcrowding situation in Baker, to be transmitted to the 

Deans Office. (During the writing of this resolution, the 

President and VPRO arrived.) 

Resolution: 

We consider the current overcrowding situation in Baker 

House to be unacceptable. In the event that any further spaces 

open up in Baker, we will not consider any additional assign- 

__ ments to Baker until all doubles have been uncrowded. We realize 

that the crowding of our "06" rooms is necessary as a temporary 

solution to the Institute-wide crowding problem; however, we 

expect that these rooms will be uncrowded in the future, and we 

will not allow these rooms to permanently remain overcrowded 

triples. 

Motion by Bill Flarsheim, Second by Mike Colucci to adopt this 

resolution Passes 9-0-0. 

Meeting adjourned at 2:08pm.

Jolln A. Goree 

Baker House Secretary

Deans Office 

Chairman of the Emergency 

Committee on Housing 

Dear residents of Baker House, 

As you well know, the unexpected size of this year's freshman 

clase has created a severe housing shortage in the undergraduate 

dormitories. To deal with this situation, we are regretfully forced 

to adopt the following measures, effective immediately. 

(1) All upperclassmen who continuously play cards in the Baker 

lobby will be evicted from their rooms and forced to remain in 

the lobby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

(2) All singles containing waterbeds will be converted into 

doubles. since nost of those rooms are already housing two (or more) 

people. 

(3) A diagnostic quiz will be administered to all freshmen. Those 

expressing an interest in Course 6 will be housed in the E-lab. 

Special curtains will be installed to ensure that no sunlight 

enters the room. 

(4) All electrical closets will be converted into quads, Alternate 

shower stalls on West ends will be used as doubles; residents 

will be given the choice of hot or cold wakeups at 7.00 A.M. 

each morning. 

(S) All female freshmen will be requieed to serve as live-in 

housekeepers for senior males; ass~ents will be made by 

lottery. 

(6) Due to the added strain placed on the bathroom facilities by 

overcrOWding, all residents will be encouraged to use their sinks 

whenever possible. 

(7) Since Baker Dining Hall will be unable to accomodate the large 

freshman class, troughs for freshmen feeding will be placed in the 

West-end lounges each day at S.OO P.M. Following dinner, freshmen 

will be hosed down en masse (in lieu of showering) and herded 

back to their quarters. 

(8) In the event that some freshmen remain in limbo after these 

measures are taken, they will be stored in the Trunk Room, and 

released at the aiscretion of the Trunk Room Danager. 

(9) In a final attempt to create more spaces in Baker, all upperclassmen 

designated as "worthless" by this committee will be 

executed at sundown. 

(10) Speaking of worthless, hera is the

8) Disc:ussion of Room Assn Corom anq·the IDOlxJ&:ilumovercrowding problem 

We encountered a newisituationthis year with the extreme 

.overcrowdingproblem'throughaut MIT. Certain decisfuonsregarding 

overcrowding were made by the Rbom Assignments Committee. 

The question as to whether the RAC should have the power to make 

these decisions is essentially unanswered by th~ Ba.kepIj0:tlse 

Constitution or the Execcon Bylaws. Specific·ally, theRAC 

decided to take two additional freshmefl.%xbX>intb"the dorm at 

the time of Saturday's"lottery. These fros.hwerenot placed in 

Baker by the Deans Office. These frosh were placed'in overcrowded 

doubleS (converted into triples). 

The question discussed, then, was that of exactly what the 

powers. ofMC should be. Smme felt that it is a mistake to 

restrict RAC, and that we should rely on theiil'ltegrity of its 

memb~rs. Others favored possible ~~endments to the Bylaws 

limiting RAC,' in various ways • though ,opinions differed as to 

the exact form such ami amendment would take. No motions were 

made, though proposed Bylaws'amendments may be ,discussed later. 

9) :Adding items to the Septembe:r-House Meeting agenda 

No items to add. Motion by Jeff, Second by Bart to place the 

following i.tems on the agenda: (1 )-:Tabled Motion to censure the 

RAC " tel Discussion of and ,approval. of piano loans, (3~ Discussion 

of the Country Kitchen and Policies for its use, (4) FALL

Submitted many,days.late, 


"Professor Bojob will see you now." 

"Thank you," Tech l:G])liec1 as ho headed into his advisor's 

office, pausing one last time to drool over the !Xx secretary. The 

professor sat hunched over his desk, totally oblivious to TeCh's 

presence. Finally he motioned for Tech to sit lawn, and Tech KX 

obediently took his place in the vismtors' chair. 

"Name'?" his advisor demnnded--without Ui looking up. 

"Tech VIcTool." By now Tech was quite used to his advisor 

not knowing his name. After a few more minutes. Professor Bojob 

finally looked Tech in the eye, gave him a wry smile, and asked 

"1rJhat can I do for you, son?" 

"liJell sir, P d lilre to elrop all my courses," Tech answered 

and laid the drop card on the desk. 

"Any particular reason?" 

"Yes. I figure if I don't have any classes to attend I'll 

finally have enough time to do my homework." 

"Anything else?" 

"Yes--I've come to realize that all classes at WIT are 

bUllshit, poorly taught, administered by idiots, and generally 

not worth a damn." 

"Fine. I think you've made a wise decision." 

His advisor signed the slip of paper and pushed it across 

the desk. Tech was x~ sturu1ed. When he snapped out of his 

stupor he grabbed the drop card and dashed out of the office, 

screaming "Pm freeiI'm free 1" He kissed the secretary, bolted 

down the stairs and outside. Only then did he examine ":ho drop 

card closely. His smile disappeared in an instant. 

"I'll get you for this, Bojob~" he swore, having realized that 

the only thing his advisor had done was to autograph Tech's copy 

of the

The Seduction of Tech WcTool 

Part 1 

Tech strolled into the ~tudent Center with KX high hopes; he 

was in a good mood. He even held the door for a foul-smelling 

nerd--obviously heading for the 5th floor. It was, after all, the 

Inaw:,;ural Ball.JJhat better place to meet rich, faGcinating women? 

He had done his best to look respectable: cle~~ underwear. a jacket- 

he wasn't even wearing sneakers. He presented his ticket with an 

affected smugness and entered. 

Immediately he felt the need for a drink. He found the spiked 

punch and quickly do¥med three glasses. ~ufficiently buzzed, he 

started to prowl. hlany of the women looked old enough to be his 

grandmother, but he remained optimistic••• 

"Hello, my name's Tech LlcTool; what's yours?" 

"Vir's. Ladelline :-:Jmythe 1" the woman i:1dignantly replied, and 

ran off to find her husband. Undaunted by this failure, Tech 

returned to the punch bowl for a couple more. A female-type figure 

approached; Tech gathered his courage. 

"Hi--I'm Tech LlcTool; would you like some punch?" 

"dhy, certainlyi" she responded, with a twinl;:ly in her eye. 

They talked briefl~r about the RX weather. ..;;ihe seemed friendly 

enough. He was feeling bold: 

":3 ay, you' r e kind of cute," he remarked, mus tering up all the 

suavity he could find. 

"Hhy thank you. Lly three sons often tell 1";le that also ••• " 

Luttering to himself "Am I really that drunk?", Tech wandered 

off in search of some young women. After briefly approaching; a 

couple of 14 year-olds, ro1d catching up on all the junior high school 

gossip, he returned to the punch bowl. He was feeling rather lilQ! 

depressed. This was no way to spend al1 evening. He continued to 

drain the cups of punch, trying to drovm his sorrows. It was go~ 

to be al10ther typical party. Ang then--

or at least he thought so L.'1. his intoxicated state. ,..)he was 

gloo~cing at him--smiling! Then ERk she winked, nonchalantly, and 

motioned him over with her eyes. Tech looked around to see if 

maybe she was after someone else. No one. It was him for sure: 

lrecn r'lcTool himself, He chugged another glass of punch for courage, 

took a deep breath, ~'1.d headed towards her. 

He had some trouble walking straight, but eventually he navigated 

up to her and spoke: 

"Hi-- My name's Tech bcTool; wanna dance?" 

"1'd 1.2.::@ to," she replied as she dragged him onto the dance 

floor, her sensuous eyes piercD~g deep into his. They danced for 

a vhlile and then: the slow dance. She held him tight--or was it 

he holding her tight? He didn't know; he didn't Care••• 

They danced. They talked. He dranI\:. She droo'lk. They drank.

The Seduction of Tech IilcTool 

Part 4 The hlorning After 

Tech awoke with his head throbbing. Where was he? He slowly 

opened his eyes. Pain. Gradually it started to come bacl\: to him: 

the Ball, the girl••• The girl! He sat up with difficulty and 

looked around. He was in The President's office, on the desk. 

What was he doing on the desk? He remembered climbing on top of 

it last night with the girl, but then what? He must have fallen 

asleep there. And where was the girl? And what the hell happened 

last night?! 

The door opened and a man xiXKX in a suit walked in. Tech 

thought about making a dash for it, but there was no hope. ~o- 

this is how life ends, he thought. 

"Young man, what are you doing on my desk?" 

"~jell, it's kind of hard••• I mean••• ," he fumbled. ~uddenly 

he reamized: he was totally naked••• 

After Tech found his clothes and convinced the gg ep's he 

wasn't an assassin, the President took him into the inner office, 

closed the door, and began the interrogation. 

"Viell, son--could you please explain." 

Luckily during all the confusion with the CP's and the photographers 

from Tech Talk who had come, Tech had thought of a story: 

"You see, it was an initiation prank for my frat. They 

knocked me out, dragged me in here, stripped me and put me on your 

desk. " 

,"How, then, do you explain the brassiere drooped over my desk?" 

The questioning went on for almost an hour. As he was explaining 

in detail his fraternity duties, though, Tech's thoughts kept 

drifting back to last night. He couldn't remember what had happened! 

r,Iaybe he could find her, ask her-- 

The President got a phone call. He talked for several minutes, 

then KKm hung up. 

"Lr. LlcTool," he said, "I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave. 

That was my wife--she's in hysterics. Apparently the neighbors saw 

my daughter come in last night at 3 AM, wearing nothing but an old

by. No, he hadn't forgotten to S~lower that week. He had chosen 

not to, as he did many (often consecutive) weeks. He checked his 

mailbox before taking his place at the bridge table. "Oh my, it's 

a letter from my big brother Tech!" ·he exclaimed. He read on 

hurriedly because he wanted to leave as much time as possible for 

studying. "Gee, I wish I went to a party school like Tech," he 

remarked, molding his greasy hair back into place. "I still don't 

understand why Kf· Tech got so upset when I suggested we send each 

other messages on the computer, instead of writing letters like 

human beings," he said to himself. 

As usual, Tech'S letter told of the great times to be had at 

NIT. Drugs, Rock & Roll--everything a man could ask for. Tech's 

dorm seemed like ~ ,x.sa cool place to be; Joe wished they hara 

dorms like that at Stanford. ~Jaterfig'l~ts every night, Beer ever';v 

afternoon, Sleeping late every mornin§-'~'aRd the food was phenomenal, 

Joe couldn't understand how they ever gO'B any work done. As it 

was, Joe had to punt all his classes just to get his homework finished. 

The LIlT campus as Tech described tx it was "a thing of beaut;),ll., 

2xpansive tracts of grass, far removed from the inner city, were 

adorned with magnificent contemporary sculptures. Joe hoped that 

he could see it one day. 

The one thing, though, that Tech seemed reluctant to describe 

was his social life. XX Joe had asked Tech about this in his last 

letter. Now Joe eagerly read TeCh's reply: 

"You asked about the sex life at MIT-- As usual, your 8ta...."'lford 

freshman naivete is showing through. Here at l'IIT, we have totally 

lib eliminated the need for sex. Instead, we perform the following 

ritual nightly as a substitute: vie all sit in a circle, dim the 

lights, and whip out our

THE GREAT ESCAPE 

Part 1 

Tech McTool looked out the window of the 727 at the gro~~d 

bemow--New York City. They weren't stopping there, though. In 

fact, he wasn't sure where they were going. He turned to one of 

his friends in the row behind him. 

"V>1here are we going?" he asked. 

IIDisneyworld." 

Of course. It all started to come back to him now. Two nights 

ago they had been bullshitting in the lounge about how much MIT 

sucked, about how burned-out they were--the usual. One of the 

guys had suggested they all just take off for Disneyworld. They 

laughed at him as they always did--but then the next day he passed 

out plane tickets to everyone. ~o-- here they were. 

Tech thought about all the classes he had already missed. 

He was supposed to be taking a midterm right about now. Then there 

was that problem set due tomorrow-- and the paper due next week. 

As long as he made it back before drop date, XHBB though, then 

everything would be fine. 

"How long are we going to stay?" he asked his friend. 

"Forever. " 

l'Oh. " 

What would his mother say? What would his advisor say? •• 

Who really gives a damn? He would get a job--maybe as Mickey 

Mouse--and settle down. He never really wanted to be an engineer 

anyway. 

IIVlake me when we get therti," Tech requested. He closed his 

eyes and fell immediately into a deep, well-deserved sleep.

Part 2 

Tech McTool stepped off the plane to freedom. They had made it 

to Florida. Disne~Norld wasn't far off now. 

As they walked through the airport Tech was struck by the strange 

people that passed by. They had clean hair, and most of them wore 

decent clothes. Only a couple looked bleary-eyed, and those who did 

seemed to be suffering from hangovers rather than lack of ~ sleep. 

He didn't see anyone with calculators on their belts, equations on 

their T-shirts, or multi-colored pens in their shirt pockets. Then 

he sniffed--wowl No stench of body odorl Culture shock--what a 

concept. 

The only thll1g that bothered Tech now was that he wasn't far 

enough away from hIT. People here might have heard about MIT - 

that was no good. He wanted to go to a place where the idea of 

IiIIT never even entered people's heads. Varidise. Maybe he mR 

would go to Ca.lifornia--or L~s. 

He decided to give Florida a chance, though. He stopped a 

ran.dom person and asked. "Have you heard of IvIIT1" The man. suddenly 

got a wild, crazed lool\: in. his e3res a.l1.d started foaming at the mouth- 

"Nol Stay bacld No! I'm not goL"'1..g back--l: neverl Noooo ••• i" 

he screamed in agony a.l1.d then bolted away. As the man ran off 

Tech noticed the brass rat on his finger--a fellow escapee. 

Tech and his friends walRed outside to get a cab. 

"Well~-what do we do nov.,?" Tech asked naively. One of his 

friends--who had just bought a newspaper--started laughing hysterically. 

He looked Tech squarely in the eye ~~d said: 

"tie have to run: they're after us •••• " He then showed them 

all the headline of the newspaper:

Part J 

Tech w~d g± his friends stood motionless at the exit from the 

airport, paralyzed by fear. They had escaped from MIT, but they 

weren't safe yet: the administration was after them. 

After debating for a few minutes they decided they had to get the 

hell out of there fast. The airport was probably being watched--they 

cou'.d trust no orie, They would try to find a oheap motol for ibe 

night, and plot their course to Mexico tomorrow. They grabbed a taxi 

to head into town and all piled in. 

"So," the driver said as they drove down the gi highway, "where 

are you guys from'?" 

"He could be a spy," '1'ech whispered to his bUddies. 

"lI'le're from Harvard," Tech lied, trying to oover their tracks. 

"That's funny--you guys don't act like assholes," Good, it had 

worked: they had fooled him. 

"In fact," the cabbie continued, "you act like horny engineers~" 

They all shit in their pants. but the cabbie said no more. He dropped 

them off on a mi main street. pointed out a motel nearby, and took off. 

Tech had an uneasy feeling as they walked down the sidewald towards 

the motel. Everything seemed normal enough--there was the 

usual assortment of shoppers, beggars, and f~~ilies out on the streets, 

There was even a band of Hari Krishnas, busily chanting away, They 

walked by the Krishnas, laughing at them••• 

Tech felt a pair of greasy hands grab his throat from behing, 

It was a trap! 

"Let's get out of herel" Tech screamedJ "those aren't Krishnas-... 

it's the men from SIPS1" 

Men from SIPB11 . the ~tudentsln Pursuit of Burnouts--an MIT 

student organization dedicated to tracking down defectors and return~ 

in:~; them to the true path of nerddom. 

Tech smacked his assailant in the face and broke loose. His 

friends tore free of the wimpy SIPB attackers and together they ran 

across the street. They were almost out of range, when the SIPB 

captain (or "head-hacker", as they called him) took a body-odor bomb 

from underneath his robe and launched it in their direction. It 

exploded right in fromt of them-- 

"Aaargh--a body-odor bomb 1" Tech gasped in horror. Tl1e fumes 

overpowered him and he sank into unconsciousness.

VJhat shall we tall-c about? The Holiday Party is this Saturday; even 

if you don't ask Lofton's mother, it would be nice to attend the setup 

party on Friday. These are certainly the times that try social 

chairmen's souls, and help setting up will be unbelievably welcome. 

It's one of the few times that a large part of the dorm works together 

(instead of bitching at each other), and even if you think 

that "helping out" is a croc of shit (sorry about that. Croc)--it

Part 4 

mTech awoke with that same oppressive feeling that had so often 

haunted him at r,UT. He wasn"t sure where he was, but his sixth sense 

told him there were nerds around--incredible nerds; he could feel it. 

He looked around at his friends. still unconscious. They were in 

the back of a van, being taken to godknowswhere, captives of the Men 

from SIPB. No women--theyweren't allowed in SIPB. too distracting. 

Their captors were up in the front of the van hacking away on the 

terminals installed in the dashboard. As Tech's friends began to wake 

up, still feeling sick from the effects of the body-odor bomb, the 

head-hacker came to the back of the van and addressed them, in that 

high nasal voice so typical of social misfitsl 

"You runaways are going to be returned to q\JIIT for proper punishlilent," 

he began. "Our computers now have your records on file and we 

are even now using text editors to produce right-justified reports on 

your capture in twelve different type fonts. But before we return you 

to the Institute we are taking a detour to Disneyworld to catch the 

latest computer show." 

Disneyworldl This may be our chance, Tech thought to himself. 

Perhaps they could overpower the nerds and escape. If only they could 

get close enough without being knocked out by the smell••• 

The van stopped. Disneyworld. The nerds ordered Tech and his 

friends out of the van, Thinking quickly, Tech shouted at the guards~ 

"Look--behind you, a new PDP-111" The guards fell for it and 

turned around. Tech and his friends rro1 for it, the guards in pursuit.. 

Somehow they lost themselves in the crowd , with the S IPB nerds 

novn1ere in sight. 

They were freel A fantasy world at their fingertips. No MIT, no 

nerds, only rides and candy and fun, fun, funl They went crazy/ 

After four hoars they had Seen or done everything except the computer 

show and--Space Mountain! The biggest fantasy ride of all. 

"Let's go for it, B:a guys" said Tech t,o his weary friends. They 

were exhausted, but reluctantly agreed. Tech cringed with anticipation 

as he handed over a ticket and scrambled into his seat. Up, up 

up the trolley climbed in pitch darkness, and tl'len--whooshl Fling 

through tunnels deep within the mountain, lights and images passing 

by••• Tech Imew that he was free, free forever ••• 

The toolley climbed out af a tunnel into daylight. They were 

going over a river now--it seemed strangely f~niliar. The sky was m 

overcast and the air was suddenly cold•. Something was wrong. The car 

plunged into darkness again, then slowed down and halted. 

"Kendall-MIT" came a voice over the intercom. They loolred at 

each other for a second, puzzled, then automatically walked out into 

the subway station. Kendall station--the red line. 

"I don't understand" Tech said softly, as t:1ey went out the exit 

and began the long walk home. THE END

Tech Mc:~ool's eyes began to close involuntarily and his head 

accelerated townrcls the floor. It met his desk on the way dov/lJ., and 

the noise of the crash v.'oke him up a'7,ain. He felt no pain, however--he

47 strai~ht hours. He wasn't sure which paper he was working OD 

now: he was just writin~. His mind had shut off many hours a~o, but 

luckily his fin-,,:ers still moved. The words on the paper danced in 

front of him: it was time for another Dew. 

As he reached into the fridJ1~e he heard a loud. piercin.-::; scream 

from the hallway, followed by several more. It had oer';u.n again. 

Tech tried to resist. but he felt himself drawn outside his room 

to join them in their nightly ritmal. He threw open his door, 

Dew in hand, and stepped out for a break. 

His friends \vere assembled there with crazed, sleep-starved. 

looks in their eyes. They said nothin~ as Tech joined them, but 

immediately launched into another scream. A fe'll doors opened al'1.d 

sleepy heads poked out, cursed, and returned to bed. They were 

just wimps, anyway--what did' they know aoout real work. 

The con~~~re~ation in the hall joined in silent prayer for a 

speedy e1"'.d to the term, and then dispersed. The chatter of typevrriters 

struck up a~ain: Tech returned to his desk. The floor was 

littered with scrawled pages, but Tech wasn't sure ~1ich sheets 

were !";arba.rse and which 'tmre final copy. Oh well, there wasn't much 

difference anyway. 

He crushed the Jew can with true hatred and pitched it towards 

the trash can. It missed, spilling a felJv drops of fluid over his 

paper on the floor. Only one thing to do--keep writing. He moved 

his hand across the page in front of him, so , so sleepy•.• 

When he re.q;ained COJ!.sciousness a few minutes later he discovered

whom would be on Execcon. Another idea is to have a sm.aller (2 

or .3 people) Social Committee, perhaps elected like Judcomm. These 

chro1ges would require a Constitutional Amen~lent. which we could 

do before the next election. l\',ost people agreed with the 2 .;;)ocial
