If you have ever worked for a truly large company, one with several thousand No, AS&E is not one of the larger companies around, but we're not the smallest employees, then you probably have a pretty good idea of how it feels to be a cog: either. We do have what counts -- a critical mass of talent and experience. a feeling that your job is insignificant, that it is only a small (and easily replaced) part of something much larger, something over which you have no control. A lot people who work for us now used to work at very large and very small companies. One of the reasons they all cite for coming to work with us is that Small companies have their problems too, problems of limited resources, whether at AS&E they matter. it be people or facilities. No matter how good you are, you will run into a brick wall. Talk to someone who's tned to develop a new idea at a very small company. Everybody is important and everybody's job is critical. You'll find out what single-handed frustration really is. What do we do at AS&E?

"Although intellectually as heavy as Harvard, MIT has had astonishingly little influence on Cambridge. MIT is like a powerful engine below decks that throbs and energizes but remains,for all intents and pur- poses, invisible." This evaluation in last Sunday's Boston Globe Magazine exposes an all too cornmon, and all too accurate, view of MIT. The classic image of M IT as an elitist institution composed of civically ignorant scientists huddling slyly over their test tubes is a lingering one. M IT is geographically more isolated from Cambridge than Harvard. Our campus is self-contained and one can go for months without O-N- catching a glimpse of a Cambridge resident. While Boston fraternity residents -see considerably more of their neighbors than campus residents, this does little for MIT's rocky rela- t ions with Cambridge. Recent objections in the Cambridge City Coun- cil to MIT's handling of its Simplex land holdings merely accent the un- m easiness. Camnbridge has not gone out of its way to make MIT feel at hotne of late, and M IT has been equally reluctant to declare itself hap- py to be here.
