>During MIT's rush week every year, the Boston SHERATON becomes the ATO.

  This is an advertisement for living at ATO, a fraternity at MIT.  My
roomate at senior house (another MIT place) was lived at ato at one time.
He told me that for years ATO had to hack, pull cables, clip wires etc. to 
get around the increasing amount of security put up around the sheraton around 
rush time.  Apparently the nerds (say it with pride!) won out every year,
so the sheraton took all the fun out of it and turn it off themselves now.:-)
