Center helps prepare students for job market Jackle Jenks STAFFWATEA

As seniors anticipate graduation day, lhe Career .Placement Center works to prepare the graduates for a real-world job-hunt.

Career Placement. located in the Jesse Phillips Center, places some studenis in jobs and prepares others for job-hunting after graduation, ac­cording to director Bro. Raymond Martins.

''The whole idea is not just to get a job, but to learn lhe interviewing process," Martin said. "We want to prepare them so if they go home without a job, they'll know what to expect."

The program is a year-round proc­ess which helps studenis formulate !heir resumes, make contacts and prepare for interviews. The center offers inteNicwing worlcshoµ; in Sep­tember with an option to be critiqued by an actual recruiter at a practice

interview. "1be workshop was really help­

ful," Mary Jo Anderson. a senior communication major, said. "They let you know what to do, what not to do, and how to dress."

Beth Sensel, a senior chemical engineering major, will use the center to prepare for interviews. "I think the practice interview will be beneficial,'' she said, "I get really nervous in inter­views and I need some hinis on how to control that. and someone to tell me what my good poinis are."

Workshops in October concentrate on resume writing, and those in No­vember deal with what the studenis should do over the holidays.

In an eff on to best meet the needs of the studenis, the center considers many aspec!S when trying to contact companies. They look at geographical areas and at lhe fields that the studenlS will be most interested in.

"It's like recruiting basketball players," Martin said. "You're al­ways trying to go after good ones. We're always looking for the good companies.''

The Career Pl&:emmt Center is there as a tool for the students. 1be programs, worbhopl and reading materials are designed to prqme the graduating seniors for the job search­ing process.

"I think if you use the center as it's supposed to be uaed, it can be help­ful," Andel"90II Aid. "to some de­gree, you have to be commiued to what you 're doing - to finding a job, I to following up, to putting their career placement resume together and your own resume together. lf you use it that way, it's very profitable.

Administration proposes new policy Rachel Kress 1€WS£llfTCWI

The Student Government Asso­ciation is sponsoring an open forum at 8 p.m. Tuesday in O'Leary Audi­wriurn to discDss lhe administration's proposal of a policy governing stu­dent solicitation and distribution of commercial producis and services on campus.

The proposal draft of a new pol­icy was mobilized by student reac­tion to actions by the Democratic Socialisis of America last semester. The OSA distributed condoms twice within a two-month period on Feb.

14 and March 28 in the Kennedy Union lobby.

This promp!ed urtivcrsity Presi­dent Bro. Raymond L. Fitz last Mach to tSSue a statement opposing the action.

"Clearly, lhe University of Day­ton. as a Catholic urtiversity, docs not condone or support the distribu­tion of condoms on campus," Fitz wrote in that statement. ~ university has no poocy agaim

condom distribution, therefore, DSA members where not removed from the building.

JP. McIntyre. SGA p-esideru, said studenlS must to speak out on this issue and question whether the pol-

icy would be ccmonhip or not. "We feel it's important for the

university CDDOODily IO oome together and talk about the implications this sort of policy would have on the free exchange of ideas and fund-raisers the studenlS could participate in," McIntyre said.

The proposed policy was drafted by the vice president of student devel­opment Sid dean of students, Or. William Schuerman, and the student development staff.

1be administration is waiting to consider any recommendations from SGA before making this policy offi­cial.

New band director takes pride in job Thomlsa Murphy STAFFWFntR

Barry Ellis, the new band director for the Pride of Dayton, has come to UD with some "Big Ten" ideas.

Ellis most recently worlced at the University of Illinois as the assistant band director and concen band di­rector. He hopes to use his previous experience at such a big school to help improve the UD band.

"I learned many things that wi II be helpful here at UD," Ellis said.

Ellis said he has chosen to work at UD because be enjoys the personal aspecis of a smaller school.

"I enjoy the one-<>tHKlC contact wilh the students and also the can­pus and iis close environment - and I saw the potential in the depart­ment." Ellis said. "There is a very fine faculty here. I couldn't be hap­pier here."

Scott Camey, a sophomore elec­trical engineering major and a mem­ber of the PridcofOaytOO, likes what Ellis is doing.

"The marching band is improv-

ing and getting more disciplined,'' Caney said. '' A lot of improvement is due to professor Ellis.''

Lynne Routsong, a sophomore Ayerctie, agrees.

"He has many innovative ideas for performances and is an optimistic person to perform under," Routsong said.

Ellis will dc:monstnllc S()l!lC of his new ideas at the f ootbal I game against Buller University tomorrow, when during the half time show, both the Buller and UD bands will perform together on the field.

Center adds new technology Monica Bucklew STAFFWRTEA

Textbooks on video cassette are the latest feature added this fall to the Anderson Center computer labs. Two video monitors and several accompa­nying VCR "textbooks" are avail­able in the business administration computer lab.

The two monitors already have been added, and manager Bro. Dave Schmitz hopes to add more, as well as create a video library.

The school of business has three labs in Anderson with 79 terminals that are open to all business students.

"It's good that the school of busi­ness has it 's own computer lab ·· most universities don\" Sclunitz said. " Since all business students are re­quired to take a computer course, the lab is heavily used."

Anderson houses not on! y the school of business' computers, but also those of the department of com­puter sci ence. Computer science labs are open to all Arts and Sciences students, but are primarily used by computer science majors, Schmitz said.

The computer science department has two labs in Anderson and one in Miriam, with a total of 82 personal computers.

Most UD students are not aware of the services and systems available to them at Anderson.

First-year business major Alaina Maguire visits the business lab fre­quently.

"It's frustrating because I don't know much about it,'' Maguire said.

The labs offers VAX systems to students as well as the public micro computer, which includes NCR per-

sonal computers. The Office for Computing Activi­

ties publishes a directory to students to help them go about and use the computers.

To use the Anderson facilities, students should get a VAX account in the office of Computer Activities in Miriam 300. Students also can pur­chase magnetic tapes, computer pa­per, ~ter ribbons, cliskea.es and other supplies there.

Student lab monitors are available in the labs to help students who are having trouble.

Computers are available for creat -ing class presentations and playing simulated games in addition to com­pleting homework assignments.

The Anderson computers are

updated and maintained through a central university fund, with each lab receiving an allotment within a five­year plan. The computer science department hopes to continue upgrad­ing next year, and the business ad­ministration clepartrnent plans to place all its computers onto a central sys­tem to help curb overflow.

Terminals are usually available during lab hours which are posted outside the labs, but they become more packed during exam time and before assignments are due.

Anderson Center computer labs are open 8 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.

Hunger problems ignored through food waste

Every day in this country and around the world small children go hungry.

Maybe if we took the time to re­member those starving in our world, we would not easily waste the food we are fortunate enough to have.

Saturday's Watermelon Bust is a blatant and outward sign of the food that goes to waste on this campus. Over 200 watermelons will be wasted in the endeavor.

Last year, Kettering and Kennedy Union Food Services began donating leftover food to FoodShare, a campus organization that takes food to the area's needy. Marycrest does not.

Another obvious waste is by the stu­dents themselves. Everyday, trays full of untouched and half-eaten foods go back to the dish room and are thrown away.

Before taking foods that will not be eaten in the cafeteria, or mindlessly wasting watermelons, think.

Nevertake for granted what we have and others do not.

New, improved Ghetto will still be campus hub It was Thursday when I was

disturbed by a rap at my door. Two young entrepreneurs enthu­siastically asked me if! was inter­ested in purchasing a T-shin.

On the back it said "Save the Ghetto" in big blue letters and on the front was the UD housing symbol with "The end of an era?" around it. Sorry, guys, I'm really not interested.

Save the Ghetto? The end of an era? Oh, please. The Ghetto is as pennanent an aspect of this cam­pus as the blue dome atop the chapel. Save it? From what. may

The Ghetto stirs much emo­tion among students and alumni. It has been home to thousands. Many a graduate has returned on a pilgrimage to this "Mecca of the Midwest." Many people have fond memories of the Ghetto, so believe me, nothing will be done to deface a landmark.

A Ghetto house is a Ghetto house. Whether it consists of only the houses that exist there now or with a couple blocks of new ones

mixed in, the Ghetto will still be the Ghetto.

It will still be the social center of campus. There will still be parties. It will still be UD's unique university village with front iro­ches, shoes over the power!ines. and, of couse, alcohol.

Statement addresses Catholic identity A university has always been

considered a place of reason, in­tellectual debate, and philosophi­cal thought. In our increasingly secular society, the broadness of thought and belief, along with the increasing freedoms and reevalu­ation of the First Amendment, have put strains on those institutions that claim religious orientation. How does one allow diversity of thought while remaining consis­tent with religious beliefs?

Two weeks ago, UD officially accepted this challenge with the publication of the '' Statement on the Catholic and Marianist Iden­tity of the University of Dayton.'' (Since I am sure many students did not read thi, document. I am obligated to discuss it.) Although the six-page document is in itself concise, I will attempt to discuss three of the major themes that exist in the statement: the interre­lation of faith and reason, the need for service, and the sense of community.

Thessalonians 5 Peter Vlahutin

The first issue has long been a problem of faithful communities. At this university, reason and the search for knowledge are key to building strong academic and research opportunities -- both cited as key to the function of UD.

Two quotes from the statement are appropriate. The "strong be­lief that truth is one and will not ultimately contradict itself' gives us confidence that our intellectual pursuit will not contradict oor faith. Rather, "the mutuality of faith and reason assures us that all knowledge of creation can increase our awareness of the Creator." Thus, every class, lecture, speaker, or function we attend should, on no matter how little a level, reveal toussomeaspectofGod'snature.

The need for service and out­reach in the university extends

from our Orristian call at baptism to spread the loving and saving message of Jesus Christ In a world that suffers daily from the abuse of human and civil rights, the university "commits itself to unmasking and eliminating falla­cious reasoning, prejudice, overly selective readings of history, the abuse of statistical data, reductive views of the human person, and any fonn of intellectual charla­tanism." It is a mouthful, but it contains within it a strong atti­tude. Not only are we called to be humane, loving, and moral -- but we are challenged to demand these from others, and to seek to inte­grate them into society. This is service, and the statement has recommended that all students participate in some fonn of serv­ice while attending UD.

Thirdly, thestatementempha­sizes the Catholic and Marianist concepts of community -- a com­munity that accepts diversity and recognizes the personification of

Jesus Christ in every individual. This canmunity is ere a a friady, loving atmosphere, as well as a supponive one. A community united on one goal for one pur­pose: "the sake of wimess to !he Gospel and of service to others.•• This community is seen as essen­tial to the development of SDI· dents, as well as in creating 1>tll· balanced adults.

Congratulations are due to Fr. James Heft and !he members oC the Committee on !he Catholic and Marianist Identity of !he University. In a powerful Slale· ment. they have managed to up­hold the meanings of a univmily and a Catholic institution. When the secular and religious meet, !he most common responses are !he complete rejection of !he secular or the reevaluation of the signifi· canceof religion. Wilh the Swe· ment of Identity, UD has risen above both, integrating bolh lhc secular and religious, wilhout compromising eilher.

Tanning booths poor substitute for sun's rays The days are rapidly getting

cooler here at UD. Declining temperatures bring with them fall­ing leaves, diligent squirrels col­lecting nuts, and fading skin color.

Our precious tans, the trophy of our summer escapades, are dis­appearing as rapidly as the Orrist­mas decorations are appearing on the shelves at Hallmark.

Most of us accept this fact of life. We wear our sweaters.jeans, and turtlenecks as body armor to proteCl oor jE!e skin from the sharp eyes of others.

After all, it is tough to get a tan in Ohio in the fall and winter.

But there are some, the num­ber grows more each year, whose skin is continually tan. Their red­ness persists through snow, sleet. and whatever crazy weather arises in the Miami Valley.

For these people, getting a tan is not difficult even in the heaviest blizzard. In fact. it is as easy as

Judge for yourself Jon Judge

lying under an electronic lamp for a short period of time .

These people utilize tanning booths.

Whatever happened to lhe good old days? The days when guys and girls laid out on roofs, lawns, cemeteries, etc., sat on painful lawn furniture that left waffle patterns on their backs, poured baby oil on their bodies, and baked under the sun until they looked lilce boiled lobsters.

I carmot imagine lying between two gla.5s beds like a skinny human hot dog while artificial sunlight alters the pigment in my skin. That just sounds too much lilce a medical operation or a bad KU lunch.

These anificial sun bathers say

it is safer than the sun. When cigarettes came out. they

were not considered dangerous to one's health. Now they are recog­nized as the cause of many dis­eases.

I would not want to find out twenty years from now that expo­sure to tanning salons has been proven to increase the chance of such disease(s).

Tanning at salons is a rela­tively new fad. The sun has been around for millions of years. If eel safer going with the veteran.

Tanning booths may actually be safer, but the whole idea just seems artificial to me.

I put tanning salom in lhe same category as fat substitutes, fake butter, NutraSweet. and turkey franks. None of these things compare to the originals.

I have experienced my share of bad burns. I have learned to take it easy and tan slowly. This

gives me the same tan while sav· ing me from great pain as well• huge aloe vera and Noxema bills.

lalsopreferto tan whilcdoina something active such as lnl­scaping, surfing, or playin~ vol· leyball. I simply get bored lymam one place for more than 1e11 sec· onds. Do they have vollcyblll couns in tanning salons?

Maybe in the future, (lhougbl highly doubt it), lalllling sakl» will prove to be the best and safest way to tan. Maybe after III e.t· treme burn I will go to one. Bui I think I would rather be as pale• an Irishman kepi underground ffl a year. Come to think of i~ I al­ready am.

Mother concerned about Sherman conditions My son is in his senior year at the

University of Dayton majoring in Biology. On August 20, 1990, John took a friend and I on a complete tour of the campus.

When he was a freslunan, he/we received the "typical campus tour." We were impressed by the dormito­ries, the campus buildings selected for the tour, and the interviews with the professors.

This time the tour was differenL John began the tour with the dormito­ries and the other lovely buildings on your campus. However, the tour through the building that houses the professors, classrooms, and labora-

tories for biology/science majors, [Sherman Hall] was appalling. This building was never included in the tour, and I would like to share with you the reasons for continuing to exclude it. The following is a list of items that are severely lacking and in immediate need of attention and improvement:

- Lighting hazards: poor lighting in the hallways impeding walking safely and provides dark shadowy areas which could conceal someone being physically assaulted i.e. rape.

- Lighting fixtures and ceiling roles: light bulbs burned out, inadequate wattage, not enough fixtures per hall-

Dean supports Ghetto clean-up

I was pleased to see your edito­rial in the Sept. 11 issue. I have long been appalled at the appearance of the Ghetto. But, of most concern is the large amount of broken glass throughout the neighborhood.

In the past I have avoided driv­ing in the Ghetto because of the glass. Now, with the addition of the Trinity Avenue entrance to Parking Lot C next to the Kettering Labora­tories Building, it is necessary to drive through to get to the lot. I fear for the life of my tires, especially on Mondays.

The redesign of the parking lot entrance is consistent with the

"pedestrianization" of the central campus, which I support. The alter­native approaches to Lot C are through Lot E or by Marycrest, both of which require passing the dan­gerous intersection by Gosiger Hall. It would be in the students' interest to support the pedestrianization concept. One manner of support would be to keep the Ghetto streets clean.

Students explore emotion in Vietnam War literature Kevin Dugan STAFF WATER

Dr. Steven Wilhoi~ an English professor at UD, is teaching a new course on the Viemam War, more specifically, on Vietnam War litera­ture.

"I grew up watching the Vietnam War on television, and I never understood what everything I saw was abou~'' Wilhoit said.

Now, after having researched the Vietnam War, he has a greater understanding of the war and is sharing his knowledge in this new literature class.

In the course, students are learn­ing about Vietnam and the war from first-hand accounts written by veterans and journalists.

Among the books students will read that detail the life of a soldier in the southeast Asian jungles are: "Dear America, Letters Home From Vietnam" by Bernard Edelman; "Dispatches" by Michael Herr; and "In Country" by Bobbie Ann Mason.

Later in the semester, guest speakers will share their experi­ences, and films will be shown to supplement the readings.

Rather than approaching the war from a purely historical or political science point of view, the class is examining how the author commu­nicates fear, frustration, anger, sad­ness, and confusion he or she went through in Vietnam, according to Wilhoit.

"This cla~s offers students a chance to view the Vietnam War and sec how people use writing to

come to terms with i~'' Wilhoit said, siuing in his office surrounded by books on Viemam geography, photography and history.

Understanding the Viemam War can help people understand the Per­sian Gulf crisis, Wilhoit said. The beginning of the Viemam war -- the movement of troops and feelings of uneasiness - is closely related to what is happening, since troops were deployed to Saudi Arabia last month.

"The soldiers in Viemam were young, usually younger than 21, and their situation compares to what the soldiers in the Persian Gulf are going through," Wilhoit said.

Ron Carisa~ a Cincinnati busi­nessman who is also Vietnam veter~ said he felt a lot of frustration serving in Viemam, especially the psychological warfare.

"The younger generations have no idea what the conflict was about," Carlson said. "It is important to our future, especially now with the Persian Gulf crisis, to understand Vietnam.''

Maureen Barry, a jurtior political science major, takes the class for different reasons.

"My brother is in the Navy reserves, and a close friend is in the Air Force Academy," Barry said. "They aren't in the Persian Gulf, but learning about Vietnam helps me understand the military more. In this way, I'll be able to fill in the picture of what they're doing."

Wilhoit plans to offer this class again in fall I 99 I.

Rugby club teams tackle vicious sport

Jason Malonl STAFFWfl'TEA

The UD men's rugby football club is well on ilS way to another stellar season.

The ruggers defeated Eastern Kentucky University, 20-8, Satur­day.

The game of rugby originated over 160 years ago in England. It incorporates different facCIS of fcxxball, soccer and basketball. There arc I 5 players on each side and the object is to pass, carry and kick an oversi,.cd football into the end zone.

"It's difficult to understand and follow at first, but after a while you get the hang of it," junior Nick Nc­grctti said.

Last season, UD was ranked number one in Ohio and finished in the top four in the Midwest region, upsetting traditional powerhouses Ohio State University and Bowling Green State University in league play.

There are over 400 rugby clubs on college campuses across the counary.

Franks fuels team effort Brad Messenger STAFF WRTER

To most people, 1989 was a spe­cial year, especially to UD Flyers wide receiver Bill Franks. But he is quick to remember that the Flyers' championship was a team effort.

"We had a lot of young guys on the team, so I was fortunate in that I had a good grasp of the offense," Franks said. "Besides Iha~ I can't explain why so many passes were thrown my way."

Among the many records the team set last year was Franks' mark of 55 receptions in a single season.

The Flyers also set school record of 5,231 yards of total offense. The team did rely mainly on ball control and ran the ball for 3,550 yards last season. However, Frank's receptions helped keep the team's runnning game open.

Franks suggesis that his record may not have been the best thing for the team. He reasons that opposing defenses would have had a more dif­ficul t time wi th pass coverage had the completions been to a wider variety of receivers.

As with most of the Flyers, how the team plays is more important to Franks than his individual numbers. He believes that the most important aspect of a football team is unselfish­ness.

"Last year we were very young and were unique in that we didn't have anyone that we looked at as a superstar," he said. " We worked hard as a team and got along well on and off the field. I think there is a special breed of football players at UD. The coaches recruit players that will work hard, make a commitment to winning and put the team above themselves. I think that is present in every great football program."

Franks said the I 990 Flyers have those qualities, plus more senior lead­ership than last year.

The team has 16 seniors on the roster, and their leadership is one of the reasons UD is off to a 2-0 start. Because of Dayton's early success, there has been much talk of a return to the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl in 1990.

Franks is convinced, however, that it is too early to talk about playoffs.

"We don't think about the cham­pionship," the senior from Newark, Ohio, said. " We just try to think about the next team we play. The coaches are good at instilling that though~ and Dayton has a good tradi­tion of not looking past their next opponent."

The coaching staff is one of the many aspeclS of UD that Franks found attractive when he was a senior in high school. He said he thought head coach Mike Kelly was convincing, but hones~ while trying to persuade Franks to play football at UD.

• 'Coach Kelly made it understood when be recruited me that I would not start right away," Franks said. "He was right. I don ' t think I set foo 00 the field my freshman year, so I just tned to watch and learn."

Franks' palient attitude had to cany him through his sophomoreseasonas well. In limited playing time, he caugll only_ two passes for 10 yards, bw continued to work hard in practice.

In 1989, his patience paid off aoo Franks became the team's starting wide receiver.

Franks responded to this chanct to show his talent with 55 receptions for 668 yards his junior year.

So far this season Franks again leads the Flyers in receptions, with five, and receiving yards, with 67.

. He will try to lead UD against D1v1s1on II Butler University Satur­day.

Butler is the only team the Flyers have played every year sincejoining Division III in 1977. Although tlie Flyers lead the seventeen game serl1$ I 0-6-1, they hav not beaten the Bull· dogs in the last three seasons.
