Local Fire ends mass; hundreds flee church - A fire interrupted mass Sunday morning at Our Lady of Assumption Church in Chelsea, forcing 200 people to quickly leave the church. Reverend Robert Langlois said he was celebrating mass when the church's fire alarm sounded. A custodian set off the alarm when he noticed smoke in the school building attached to the church. The Reverend did not end the service when the alarm sounded, but he did so soon afterward, when smoke entered the church. ott~ersye I Wleather Winter isn't here yet: today we have a high of about 65 degrees, with mostly sunny skies.

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SURE tNSERIOUSABWT ict on ofic space i 6EIHU65UN OFF W It seems nobody on the MIT campus knows what to do about the lack of office space for student activities. The Asso- STREETS ANDI INS0 ciation of Student Activities (ASA) knows of thirty student groups that want office space. The ASA is responsible for allo- FEDEA cating activity offices in the Student Center. Control of activity space in other buildings is less certain. Robert Hblden, retired I Associate Dean for Student Activities, allocated the old Thurs- day office in Walker Memorial last summer, but there is no clear authority for assigning student activity space in that or other buildings on campus. Students activities are a vital part of the Institute community, and many groups need permanent offices to grow and flourish. At the same time, some groups may not need all the space they occupy. Occasionally, space will become available as groups die off, as did Thursday in 1979. One authority should monitor ac- tivities' need for office space and the availability of that space around the campus, reallocate offices of student groups that no I - -.---- longer need them, and lobby for new space if it is needed. That I Thursday's office in Walker remained unused for three years, while many groups went without, clearly demonstrates the need to centralize responsibility for student activity office space.
