Elretric College:

students llX}uinrl to buy computers

(CPS)For most freshmen, registration's long lines, heat, missed course sections and frustrations are cause to wonder why they bothered to come to college.

But for freshman accoun­ting major Jackie Pouliot, the events transpiring on her first day of registration at Clarkson College "weighed a lot on my decision to come here."

Freshman engineering ma­jor Steve Safranek likened the August 25th registration to Christmas morning, when he, Pouliot and 800 other frosh each got eight boxes to cart back to their dorms. ·

Once there, they hastily unpacked the boxes to find new Zenith z-100 personal computers. They inserted ac­companying "demo disks," and stared at the monochrome screens in silent homage.

Clarkson thus goes down in ·history as the first college to require all entering freshmen to buy not only paper, pens and textbooks, but microcom­puters.

A week later, Stevens In­stitute of Technology in New Jersey became the second school to impose the new re­quirement.

This winter, Drexel Univer-· sity in Philadelphia will re­quire its freshmen to buy a new wonder Apple computer, which college officials grand­ly call the Apple-DU.

Even more - all of them private colleges - are only months from similar steps: Carnegie-Mellon, Brown, MIT, Pepperdine, Vassar, Dartmouth and the Rochester Institute of Technolo~, to name a few. "What's happen­ing at Stevens and Clarkson merely heralds what is to come," predicts Alfred Bork, a physics and computer science professor at the University of Califomia­lrvine. "I think we all agree the day is near whan all students will be required to

bring computers with them to campus."

The remaining questions seem to be just how and when that will happen, what the costs will be, how the com­puters will affect everyday campus life, and, as Bork points out, if educators can actually create courses that will use the machines.

"It's one thing for everyone to come to campus with a cer­tain piece of hardware," he says. "It's another to make them useful, and to design a curriculum around them. That will take a while, and it doesn't happen automatical-1 .. y.

Clarkson, for example, lacks not only a campus net­work to link its computers hut even phones in the dorm rooms. There are no courses designed specifically for using the computers yet.

"Unfortunately, about all I can say at this point is that, among schools implementing computer programs, the variety is enormous, the in­terest is enormous, and the confusion is enormous," says

Steven Gilbert, director of th.e EDUCOM Computer Literacy Project, which is try­ing to link whole campuses to each other.

"The cost is also enormous," adds Bernard Sagik, vice president of academic affairs at Drexel.

"By spring," he says, "we should have lost a few machines to theft, en­countered numerous breakdowns, and have solved problems we haven't even thought of yet."

Sagik estimates students will have to pay over $1000 each for their computers, but isn't sure if they'll be charged one lump sum or be allowed to pay it off gradually.

Like most of the other schools, Drexel has a special deal to buy machines in bulk, and then distribute them to students at a discount.

Stevens' students pay a one­time $1800 for their Digital Equipment Corp. Profes­sional 325 computers.

Even at that, says Stevens spokesman Amy Bass, "students will be getting a $4400 computer system for $1800."

Clarkson freshman Mike Graham Hammersla of Student Orientation 'first freshmen ever required

gets help from Jackie in becoming one of the to buy a computer

Clarkson students will .pay a total $1600 for their $3600 systems, but at the rate of $200 a term. They won't own them until they make the final $200 payment, however, adds Clarkson spokeswoman Helen Chapple.

The value of a campus monopoly to a company like Zenith can be huge. It's · a "real big step for us," says public relations head Steve Ingish. Zenith will be selling aobut 1000 microcomputers a yar to Clarkson students.

"Besides being such an im­pressive sales account, we're looking down the road when we have thousands of students graduating from Clarkson with z-lOOs under their

arms," lngish says. "We hope they'll keep purchasing Zenith products, and that they'll take them out into the job market with them as well."

The computers had a similar marketing impact on Clarkson, where applications increased by 25 percent in the weeks after the school an­nounced its computer pro­gram last October.

Schools are undergoing physical changes, too.

Stevens completely rewired its dorms to ensure students wouldn't have ~ignments zapped into oblivion by power surges or outages.

And campus maintenance workers spent the summer

ripping up dorm rooms when they found computers use up enough desk space to make twin beds impossible.

"We found we needed twice the desk area" available last year, says Thomas Lunghard, special assistant to Stevens' president. All dorm rooms now have bunk beds.

Carnegie-Mellon, which has the most ambitious com­puter plans announced to date, is rewiring, remodeling and reshaping the entire cam­pus to make way for a 7500-computer network which administrator Doug Van Howeling hopes to have in place in four or five years.

Chaotic vision sends mind in spin To be balanced and harmonic, that seems natural and desirable but we are

all caught in a most unnatural situation, involved vicariously in media mesmerizations par excellence! The fragmentary nature of the data we are at­tempting to process is throwing our minds into dismay. Even if we could ~n- · sume it all, we still could not organize it into anything more than a grand vision

Havin~ enjoyed your article on disorientation I was moved to some thoughts on that su~ject which I ho_pe_you will find interesting. Having blown up the TV and thrown away the papers some ten years ago I deeply sympathize with those who are still attempting to sort through that material. This paper may be a lit­tle steep for your publication since I note the affiliations to Martin Marietta but none the less, I present it for your appraisal.

Reader contends KAL airline tragedy couldn't happen here

Dear Sirs, I read Keith Levise's column of September 7 with interest. Never have I read

a more splendid example of doublespeak. 'War is Peace', 'Freedom is Slavery', and now 'The United States is responsible for the downing of Flight 007'. It is absolutely astonishing the way Mr. Levise can turn around the barbaric murder of 269 innocent civilians by a historically cold blooded regime and blame it on a "Cold war mentality". When was the last time U.S. fighters shot down a civilian jet liner that strayed over a military installation? His statement that U.S. simply "sat back and watched it happen" is incorrect. The tapes of the pilots conversations were not translated until well after the incident, and the U.S. was not tracking the aircraft. Why the Japanese did not inform them of their error is obvious. The aircraft was not observed by Japanese radar until it neared Japanese airspace, and by the time the Japanese realized how off course the plane was, it had already been ~estroyed. It was the Soviets who "sat, back and watched it happen".

Finally, in his last sentence, Mr. Levise states that, "It could have happened in any nation". No, it could not, and it has not. Anyone who has studied the history of the Soviet Union can see that this is the standard operat~ng procedure of an insanely paranoid regime. After all, if you are dropping nerve gas in Afghanistan and Laos, supporting terrorism throughout the world and im­prisoning and murdering your own citizens who dare to disagree with govern­ment policy, what are a mere 269 people?

I must say the flyers that were handed out were attention getting to say the least. "Withdraw from School" - I thought, how could the administration let anyone promote such an idea the first week of school? I read on.

My disappointment came when I went to use this ingenious machine of so many uses. The information center on the third floor said, "downstairs", the Convenience Center pointed and said, "down the hall". Well, I have still yet to find this wonderful machine - that is such a "revolutionary idea".

On crime and punishment Re: Unauthorized Raises - Administrators

Dear Dr. Fontera: As a taxpayer and a student at Metropolitan State College, I have the

following to say on the above subject. People on the streets of Denver are arrested everyday for stealing loaves of

bread and snatching purses with about $5.00 in them, etc. Therefore, your decision about what to do about the administrators who

have not only cheated their fellow workers and the taxpayers' money, but have shown poor example for the youth of today, should be very easy.

They should be removed from their jobs and I am sure there are many deserv­ing unemployed people; required to make restitution and if real justice is to be done, placed on trial for fraud.

White collar crime is still crime and they should be immediately suspended until convicted in court.

Yours truly, Patricia Pieropan

of chaos which it is. . We have learned to focus ourselves ii. ·lilemma, that is our conditioning. We

find our "individuality" in the views we hold about the information we are ab­sorbing. Imbued with the need for an opinion on the latest military move or conceiving a pronouncement on the recent political debacle, we seat ourselves in pro and con. .

Now, while all the frantic egos attempt to formulate their positions, the dark scientist is at work on the latest bomb, heinously mixing elements that nature has, in such illustrious balance of union and separation, set before us. While science runs ram:nant breaking things up with smashers or sealing radiant elements into gigantic bullets to land-mine the planet, we go to and from our work and our TV with our minds running wild trying to assimilate and form some · reasonable 90nception of what to say about it. All the while we know deeply that we can do absolutely nothing about it except possibly shut it off and take up meditation. Meditation can bring about a change in the dimen­sionalities of the mind making it capable of a whole new sort of comprehension and action.

There is really no way that the present structures of thought can deal effec­tively with the vast input of data which is deluging us and unless we can get a handle on our world, we sit helpless before the self-destruct button. If we ex­pand the space in the mind we find that information is no longer crowding us. Expanded inner space is created through specific techniques or focuses in meditation, generating quiet calmness conducive to the development of global awareness and of holistic action.

Humor is in the eye of the beholder . Editor,

I was dismayed and more than a little disappointed by your "Last Look" photograph in the September 7 issue. The picture was a rear vie:-V of several women in swim suits and high heels, apparently contestants m a beauty pageant. The caption read, "A rose is a rose, is a rose .. . " The poor taste demonstrated by the photographer who took the photo is equalled by that of the caption-writer and by The Metropolitan in printing it. In case the reasons for my distress are unclear, I would ask you to consider the following: 1. Why is a rear view of anonymous.women of such interest? And why in swim suits? (If you're snickering at the obvious answer to this question, ask yourself how you'd like to be the object of such snickers.) 2. Who's supposed to enjoy this item? What exactly is supposed to be so enter­taining about it? Is the objectification of individual human beings a legitimate price for such enjoyment? 3. What does this portrayal say about the photographer's and the paper's at­titude toward womei;i? That they're worthy of admiration - in bathing suits, posing for a "last look?" 4. Would a similar photo of men warrant the same space? And the same jovial treatment? 5. The caption is either ludicrous or disgusting: "A rose is a rose ... " It's strange­ly reminiscent of that most demeaning-of comments, "Seen one, seen 'em all."

Some might argue that these women freely chose to participate in this activi­ty and, at least implicitly, to be pictured in this manner. To that comment, I offer two thoughts. First, how "free" are ones choices when the society in which we are reared has spent 18 years teaching us what to "choose?" Second, it seems to me most tragic that we do indeed behave in ways that leave us open to depersonalizing treatment - and think we've achieved "success" by doing

·so. To be viewed as objects by others is sad; to see ourselves that way is sad~er still.

A college community is presumably a focus of some degree of intelligent . discourse, forward-looking thought, and human sensitivity. This picture, in its dehumanizing treatment of women, presents The Metropolitan as insensitive and unaware. I urge you to rectify that impression and to avoid it in the future.

Janis Bohan, PhD Professor of Psychology, MSC

As a long-standing feminist, I would like to apologize to any woman who took offense to our September 7 Last Look. However, on our own behalf I would like to say that our failure was not a failure to respect women, but rather a failure to communicate-our meaning effectively. It is a constant danger when one delves into the realm of farce.

When the production manager and I made the joint decision to run t.he photograph and caption, we perceived it to make dual statements, the ma1or one of which was utterly neutral in terms of women and women's issues, and the other of which w as feminist in viewpoint.

The photo was not perceived as, or meant to be, titilating. Its r,nmary pur;, pose was to be a visual pun on the caption of the w eekly f eature: Last Look. As such, a view of the backside of anything, including an elephant or a bakery truck, would have served the purpose . To answer a question posed in one letter, yes, the backsides of m en would have merited the same treatment. •

( k>' e11 u11e1 it Bet xni To the Student Body of MSC Fellow students,

Well, I'm your student body president until we hold elections. We are in the process of redoing the Constitution and once it has been voted on in a referen­dum, we will hold the elections, I figure about the middle of November.

For those. of you that don't know me, let me give you.a little background in­form~tion. I am a senior in Restaurant Administration, and have been involved in Student Government (ASMSC) since my second year. I am also the voice of all the students at our campus, as the Student Representative on the Auraria Board of Directors. In 1983, thanks t9 Dean Phares in Professional Studies, I received an "Outstanding Young Men of America" award. When I get my degree I plan to go on to law school.

So, what has been happening? We are working very closely with the other two schools (DACC, UCO) through the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB) on the financing of replacement facilities for the East Classroom (UCO Building), an addition to the Science Building, and ventila­tion in the buildings that do not have it already. What this means for students is a possible bond fee. I will tell you, though, that the bonds will be insured, and that the General Assembly will be asked by all governing boards (Trustee's,

Dear Editors, . Leafing through the September 7 issue of The Metropolitan I found nothing remarkable until I got to the last page. In the Last Look section you judged it appropriate to show a photograph, from behind, of women in bathing suits. Underneath was the supposed witty caption of Gertrude Stein's poem "A rose is a rose, is a rose.,.

This in itself·was remarkable only in these facts: 1) The photograph with its particular caption comes almost exclusively from a mflle point of view, a very male sense of humor. With fifty percent of the stu­dent body femal~. it seems the editors are being very exclusive in who they are trying to reach with.our school publication. . 2) Even The Metropolitan, the small esoteric publication that it is, is a publica­tion from a university. Though it may not reflect the views of all students it does reflec~ the. attitudes of today's students. The attitude relected here it that it's still acceptable to poke fun at women, at women's bodies, faceless, and from behind. It completely negates today's women wearing business suits, military uniforms, or welder overalls. It brings women back into the arena, fleshy, to be judged, evaluated, and humiliated by our male student population.

Today's women students have a tough enough time ahead in the business world and society itself. We do not need this type of insensitivity from a publication our tuition helps fund. ·

In the future please use greater integrity deciding when something is honestly witty or truly exploitative.

Zana Brown Student MSC

The second purpose was to make a negative comment on the assembly-line treatment of women in beauty pageants. The caption, "A rose is a rose, is a rose ... " was meant to point out, and thereby ridicule, the objec tification of women of which the above letters complained. The statement was m 'eant to be clearly and unequivocally disdainful of what I consider a barbaric practice.

Unfortunately, for at least some readers, the intent was neither clear nor une­quivocal. We refuse to accept the charge of chauvenism. However, w e must ac­cept the charge of failing to communicate, in itself a serious accusation to level at two people who consider themselves professional communicators. W e are ' sorry.

Regency) to appropriate the amount of the yearly debt . In the event that the General Assembly does not make the appropriation then, we, the students, would pay a fee of about $36 per student per semester. Not to worry though, it is still talk, and it would not go into effect until 1987 ..

Parking, it was bad, now it sucks, period. On the average it takes about 25 minutes to find a spot if you are not down here before eight. A survey will be done to see if we will use an Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) System con­necting the Auraria ·campus to the nearly 6,000 parking spaces at the Denver Mile-High Sports Complex. The system would be like the one used at Disneyland, this means that we might become Fantasyland. The second choice is construction of on-campus parking garages to replace the 1,300 spaces to be lost within the next two years. The cost for the garages would be about $7 million each, which I feel is much too high. So I would encourage you to fill out the survey that will be placed on your car windows, and mail it back.

Other news: There is an audit of th.e Auraria Campus and I am meeting with one of the auditors Monday, before this paper gets out. My hope is that we the students will get more say in how the campus is run.

The Curriculum Committee is seeking new members. Michael Eagan and I would like to see more students take an active role in academic matters that ef­fect.. us.

The Student Affairs Committee (SAC) meets every Wednesday at 3 p.m., in Room 254 of the Student Center. This is the group that funds all clubs and organizations at MSC. I would like to welcome to the SAC Patrick R. Smaldone, and David Kondora. I wish them both the best. ·

If you would like to become involved in the campus, ASMSC is the place to do it. Metro is the third largest school in the state, and we have a large voice. ·our office is in Room 340C of the Student Center, stop or call us at 629-3253, if you have any problem. ~

1983: Not a very good· year {CPS)-When it comes to getting a job,

Grambling Placement Director L.B. Smith has one short piece of advice: "You don't want to be a college graduate in 1983."

Nineteen eighty-three has been "the worst employment market in my 25 years in the profession," adds Victor Lindquist, placement chief at Nor­thwestern and director of the annual En­dicott Report of how students around the country are faring in the job market.

Although graduates of two-year col­leges may be a tittle more successful this year in finding jobs than their counterparts at four-year schools, counselors around the nation are seem­ingly unanimous in calling this the worst student job market within memory for all collegians.

At some schools, as many as half the firms that normally recruit on campus

failed to show up to interview students this year. Nationwide, job offers to all spring grads fell by 17 percent from 1982 levels.

According to Northwestern's En­dicott update, the number of college graduates hired has declined a whopp­ing 41 percent in the last two years.

Corporate recruiters, moreover, report their campus interviewing is down 62 percent in the same ~erio_d. ~

"I don't know of any campus or any major that's been immune from {declines in the job market),'' Lindquist says.

Grambling's Smith says only aoout 55 percent of his school's spring graduating class has found jobs.

At Oregon State University, "We're wondering if all this talk of economic recovery isn't just politics," says Mar ..

jorie McBride, associate placement director. "The doors sure aren't swing­ing open here."

Oddly enough, liberal arts ma1ors are the ·only four-year campus grads doing better this summer and fall.

Community college grads, however, seem to be doing better.

"We have 87 percent of our grads placed, and 12 percent went into other continuing education programs," brags Ann Pierce, St. Louis Community College-Florissant Valley's placement director.

"But it's because we have so many technical programs," she explains. "Overall, we had a more difficult time, but like a lot of other community col­leges we're finding that companies are looking for two-year graduates with specific technical training."

In fact, she adds, "many companies are choosing two-year technical grads over applicants with bachelor's degrees

. - even over engineers and computer science majors - because they don't have to pay them as much, and they can train them the 'company way' as opposed to a university's program ap­proach."

Job offers so far to four-year college grads are down an average of 34 per­cent since 1982.

But better times may be ahead. Most job experts, along with cor­

porate employers and personnel direc­tors, expect 1984 to be a better year.

"Hopefully, it's going to look up the closer we get to the presidential elec­tions," Smith says. "Between now and next spring I'm looking for a marked up­turn." O

A_nticipating the future The Metropolitan recently interview­

ed Dr. Shirley McCune, higher educa­tion expert and spokesperson for the future-looking Naisbitt group (MeQ_atrends) . to find out what careers in the BO's might look like. Dr. McCune has some good news and some bad news for students as they plot the course of their own futures. The bad news is, there are not "sure bet" jobs to lock into for guaranteed success. The good-news, says McCune, is that the en­tire structure of society is changing, in­cluding the workplace, and anyone who can get hip to those changes can be successful - in virtually any field they choose.

''There is expansion in almost every area of society," said McCune, "suc­cess depends on being more problem­solving, flexible, risk-taking and future­oriented than people have ever been before."

"Students should look at their area of interest and see how that field will be restructured. Knowing how the world is changing will give you the edge you need," said McCune.

McCune warned that the key to suc­cess lay in education, but not in tradi­tional educational programs.

"Most of the jobs of the future are just being developed today, so there are no curricula to match them. In order tor higher education to be useful it will have to become more individual-oriented and less program-oriented." McCune said the demands of a fast-paced society have made the four-years-and-out at­titude toward education obsolete.

"The moment you get out of theory and into applications you are in an interdisciplinary mode."

"The conservative estimate is that the average person will be changing careers four to six times in their life. A more liberal estimate is six to ten times. That means that we will all be constant­ly retraining. Education has become a lifetime experience.''

The most valuable trait in the future will be fle~ibility, said McCune, followed closely by creativity.

''The days when you could have nice exchange of freedom for security in a job . are over. No kind of training

· available today can provide you with an "insurance policy," she said.

"The key for any human being is to keep expanding, growing, and learning. It's important to understand that there will be no single area that could be labeled the wave of the future."

The areas that come closest to fitting that description, said McCune are ~cience, mathematics, and engineer­ing.

"If a student is truly interested in the sciences, I would urge them to get on the stick, to pursue that interest, study hard, push themselves.''

But, she cautions, the age of extreme specialization is coming to an end.

"Clearly, we will continue to need specialists. But the moment you get out of theory and into applications you are in an inter-disciplinary mode. The age of specialization has brought us to a point where we know much more than we can do," McCune said.

McCune sees a Renaissance in the Liberal Arts at a time when most of the attention is focused on increased technology.

''The problems the world faces are not solvable insid~ a single discipline. To be a citizen of the world you've got to know a lot more than the average grad today," .she said. O

- . Co-op Ed solv~s Catch-22

by Susan Skorupa I "Get dressed, get b1esse<!, try to

be a success ... Twenty years of schoolln' and they

put you on the day shift." Bob Dylan - 1965

You've spent a good portion of your life hacking your way through the jungles of academia and graduation is closing in fast. You're preparing to hit the streets, diploma in hand, to offer your skills to the highest bidder.

Good luck. This year, college graduates will find

the job hunting to1,1ghc;r than in any year since the end of World War 11.

And worse still, college grads will be competing for jobs against experienced people also hit by the recession. Inex­perienced grads will find themselves applying for jobs side-by-side with seasoned veterans who have long resumes and fat portfolios. It's the old Catch-22: you need.experience to get a job, but you need a job to get ex­perience.

There is a way to get that experience, get academic credit, and maybe even get paid in the bargain - through the Cooperative Education Program.

Co-op Ed places qualified students in jobs and internships related to their academic fields of study and career goals.

''We feel we have one of the strongest programs in the state," says Susan Lansman, director of MSC's Co-

op Ed department. "In the last fiscal year we placed over 350 students and have about 1000 enrolled in the pro­gram at any given time."

To apply for Ccrop Ed a student first fills out an application form to deter­mine eligibility. Students who meet the requirements are interviewed by one of the three staff coordinators, Ron Lujan, Jayne James or Leslie Hauschildt. Career goals are discussed as well as financial and time scheduling re­quirements, educational and work ex­perience. Students are also briefed on Co-op jobs and employers in their field.

A file is set up for each student in­cluding resumes, recent transcripts, let­ters of recommendation and possibly government forms. Students then begin recieving announcements by mail about positions of interest to them.

"The student contacts us if he's in­terested in the job,'' Lansman says. "We xerox the credentials and deliver them to the employer, who then selects students for interviews."

"We set up the inter-Views," she adds, "and the employer makes the final choice. Then we go on to the next phase." . ·

In the next phase, the coordinator tracks the student's progress during the first semester of placement through visits to the student while on the job and vritten evaluations submitted by the mployer. ''V'{e track a Co-op Ed student

through the entire period," Lansman says. ·" In this way"' we' re able to solve

any problems that occur. After the first semester we update the forms and visits as needed. Academic credit forms are filled out for each semester."

Co-op Ed positions are tailored as much as possible to meet each ·student's particular needs and· every student involved derives different skills and benefits from the program, but many agree that the greatest benefit is the on-the-job experience in their chosen field.

Peter McGee, a mechanical engineering tech major, currently holds his second Co-op Ed position with The

· Denver, doing an energy audit. He says the biggest benefit of Co-op Ed has been the experience it's given him to get a feel for engineering and to make contacts in the field.

"Lots of students don't understand what they'll be doing," he said. "They've never been in the (engineer­ing) environment."

McGee said that without Co-op Ed ''you give out resumes to anybody that will take them."

Lupe Ordaz first learned about Co-op Ed when coordinator Ron Lujan gave a presentation in one of Ordaz' classes. His position is as a computer program­mer for the Bureau of Mines and he

says the experience has given him more c::onfidence in his skills.

''The more on-the-job training you get, the more rounded your education is and you don't have to start out cold turkey," he says. "It's different than meeting deadlines for grades.''

J~urnalism l'(lajor Kathy McKenna en­joys the flexibility of her job with Amoco, which allows her time for school and to work at a second job on weekends.

"I felt really lucky to get the job at Amoco,'' she says. It's the most career­related job in journalism I've had," she said. "They don't expect you to know everything, and it's all hands-on ex­perience. I'm learning professionalism - and a sense of discipline and depen­dability."

All three students agree that without their experience finding a job in their field would have been much more dif· ficult.

"I can't say enough about the pro­gram," McGee says. "The staff members go out of their way to help. If you work at it and want to succeed, it's a -fantastic organization."

On-campus interviewing

Work on campus Financial Aid offices

·run the work study program

by Kevin Vaughan

One of the most popular services of­fered by the Career Planning and Place­

.;,;, ment Office is on-campus recruiting. Like match-makers, each fall and spr­

ing the office presents graduating students to company personnel looking for that "special someone."

The Career Planning Office also - as part of its plan to prepare -students for

~those job interviews - offers workshops dealing with career plann­ing, interview skills and resume writing.

According to Julie Hughes, Service Resources Coordinator for the Career Planning and Placement Office:

-.:i~~~:r~ 1~~:Y ~:. e~:~e;!o~~~~: variety of students and can visit all three schools at the same time.

Hughes hopes for an increase in the number of students who take advantage of the program, and expects an in­

• ~ crease in the number of employers that -visit the campus.

In state employers also like the idea because of the type of students that at­tend Auraria, Hughes said.

"Students here, because of the nature of the campus, don't tend to want to go out of state," Hughes said.

Students who take part in the inter­viewing program spend ti"me working with counselors at the planning center to prepare for the 30 minute interviews.

And while employers tend to be look­ing for students in accounting, political science and certain other fields, students in any field can be exposed to

· potential employers.

"Those tend to be the fields that are in demand right now," Hughes said. However, "I don't want people to think our program is only for. certain majors."

Students interested In the program must go through an orientation process and work with a counselor before the in­terviews.

by Norma Restivo I The College Work Study Program

on the Auraria Campus is a viable one full of opportunities for any stu­dent. The CWS Program provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students. Because work study is a type of financial aid, students must

· fill out the same forms and meet the same deadlines they would for other aid programs.

A student's total work study award depends on need, the amount of money the school has for the pro­gram, and the amount of aid they may be receiving from other pro­grams. Some students are also plac­ed on a no-need basis, so you may still qualify, even if you live at home or make a high income.

Work Study provides jobs both on and off campus. However, off cam­pus jobs must be for public or private non-profit organizations.

The pay scale for work study jobs varies according to title and duties, but no one is paid below Federal minimum wage. The minimum wage

· earned by students in the MSC pro­gram is $4.20 per hour.

One distinct advantage to woFk study is that work schedules are always flexible around class

schedules. As . a work study $tudent, your studies come first!

Rita Radvila places MSC students in work study jobs out of the Person­nel Office in the CN Building, Room 309. She said one of the goals of the office is to place students in jobs that match their career objectives.

"We let students look at all open­ings and best determine what will meet their needs," she said.

Many positions are available, in­cluding Lab Aide, Lab Assistant, Computer Operator, Computer Pro-g rammer and Staff Assistant. Students are offered a diversity of jobs to choose from. And the fact that a job is labeled "work-study" never demeans it int he eyes of a future employer. Financial Aid Direc- · tor for D.A.C.C. Anna Dominguez em­phasizes:

"It's an excellent job reference. Employers feel that students who helped finance their education through work study are more respon­sive.'' · o

"We had 102 employers that came in here last year, and I have a feeling we're going to go over that number this year," Hughes said.

"A lot of the time," she said. "It's •-educating the employers, arid once they

unaerstand the program they like it."

"We're here for the students and the alumni too," Hughes said. "We repre­sent all three schools and we'll help

1 people all the way from the beginning to graduation."

"We'll practice until they can't speak any more, if they want to," she added.

card listing the employer's name and address, and are urged to call the employer.

"Students need to take the step to call and make an appointment," Basile said. He explained that students need to develop these type of "job skills" before looking for jobs.

Student response to the service has grown "dramatically," Basile said. For example, in August 1982, a total of 179 students passed through his office. This past August, 521 students visited the employment service - an increase of 291 percent.

Basile attributed the demand to "word-of-mouth advertising" and the fact that the office has remained open during the noon hour.

However, despite the availability to all three colleges, Basile said that MSC stud·ents visit the office more often than UCO or DACC students. Last August 739 MSC students took advantage of the service, compared with 507 UCO students and 376 DACC students.

According to Basile, many of the students visiting the Office are seeking jobs related to their particular course of study. Although. that may be more dif­ficult, Basile said his office does its best to accomodate them.

"Education is an investment. A stu­dent needs to get some hands-on ex­perience," Basile said. "And so they ·cofne fo 1he placement office.;· • o

alternatives to the American lifestyle that may appeal to you a great deal.

Almost any _ training can be applied overseas. Technical and profes­sional training will command a higher salary, but it isn't a require­ment to find work. Positions exist for Americans as hotel workers, English tutors, bartenders, and even enter­tainers.

Skilled positions that are frequent­ly in demand overseas include teaching, medical care, and agriculture. The demand for people with technical degrees is very high in some developing nations.

One of the most obvious places to look for work overseas are U.S. com­panies with offices overseas, but this avenue is marginal, at best.

Among U.S. corporations, the lion's share of overseas jobs go to trusted employees who have years of experience with the company. One of the few employers who place new employees in overseas stations is ttie government. Along with the op­ti on of joining the military,

thousands of people work overseas for othe Foreign Service, the Peace Corps, and for many other govern­ment agencies.

_Factual research into the country that interests you is a vital first step. Some aspects to consider are: the availability of schools and hospitals, local attitudes toward the United States and its citizens (are the natives friendly?), cultural dif­ferences, and whether or not you can stand the food and the climate.

Other things to consider are: the availability of work permits, the ease of getting into and out of the country, and, of course, whether or not you will need to . speak the · 1anguage. Knowing the language of the country you plan to live in is an obvious plus, but not always a necessity.

A great deal of information on specific countries can be obtained from the U.S. Chamber of Com­merce, or from ·the country's U.S. em­bassy or consulate.

Always be sure beforehand that the wage rate is sufficient to live on. Not even securing a job from an American company overseas· will en­sure that you will be paid a wage comparable to the same position at home. Most non-technical or non­p rof ess i onal positions pay local wages, and many Americans find that insufficient to live comfortably. Whether or not a smaller-than­expected salary is enough to live on depends on the cost of living in that country. Food and shelter won't cost you nearly as much in Timbuktu as in Paris.

A wealth of information on getting jobs overseas is available right here on campus. The Career Planning and Placement Office Library has a col-

And for a list of U.S. companies operating overseas, check ou1" American Firms in Foreign Countries published by the World Trade Academy Press.

If you're interested in seeing the world, but not sure that you'd Like to live in some strange country, there are some other options to consider. One' unique opportunity that you can take ad­vantage of as a student is studying abroad. Spending a year at a school overseas gives you the chance to "check it out" before making any long­term ·commitments. It also helps to ease • any possible "culture shock" since you' are automatically part of the peer group of students, rather than just a foreigner.

-how important is work for your personality? -how important is working time when balanced against time shared with family or leisure time? · -do you realize what job sharing means in terms of coordination and communication with your "other half"? -how much is it likely to cost in reduced wages and benefits?

Once you have decided that job sharing is a viable alternative for you, chapter two explores how to in­vestigate potential partners, mat-

' ching skills, experience and temperaments , and establishing employment expectations.

Succeeding chapters look at ap­proaching employers in a solid and positive manner, presenting a con­crete package, and how to syn-

'"' chronize responsibilities and solve problems during the first three mon­ths.

The authors have included work sheets for evaluation of the pros and cons of job sharing, skills analysis, and clarification of salary, benefit, and advancement expectatio~ , of both employers anGl.emJ)lc:>yees. -

Just when you thought you knew everything about getting a job, someone writes a book on how to get the job you really want.

How to Turn an Interview Into a Job, by Jeffrey Allen a Los Angeles placement attorney is a "how to" book on converting the interview into a Job.

Allen examines all the preliminary steps to the interview. from preparing a resume to waxing a person's vocabulary. He even lists half a page of "action words" the applicant should memorize.

Above all , the appl icant should possess several major attributes in­c I u ding enthusiasm , confidenc e, energy, dependability, loyalty and honesty.

According to Alien, the int~rview is more important than the applicant's qualifications. Through image-building, the applicant is assured he'll get the job he wants no matter' if his qualifications are better or worse than the next per-son.

Jobs for English Majors and other Smart People, by John L. Munschauer, Director of Career Development at Cor­nell University, is basically filled with commense sense advice, most of which you have heard before, but it never hurts to refresh your memory. Although a lot of the advice seems trivial it should be read before you even attempt to hit the job market. Whether you are a col­lege graduate with a liberal arts major or a house wife with time on your hands and everyone in-between, this book can be helpful, especially as a guide to ef-fective ways to interview. .

'Smart People' gives down-to-earth ·advice, not aimed so much at "english majors" as " smart people".

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" go9d, despite David Bowie's "Bowling Pin" acting

by Jim Bailey

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, starring David Bowie, Tom Conti, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Takeshi; Pro­duced by Jeremy Thomas, Directed by Nagisa Oshima. Screenplay by Nagisa Oshima, based on the novel

"The Seed and the Sower," by Sir Laurens Van Der Post. At the Cherry Creek Cinema. Subtitled.

David Bowie's latest film epic, Merry Christmas, Mr.

· Lawrence, is not your or­dinary, run-of-the-mill generic war inovie. It is a film about people involved in a

war, and the love, friendships and hatred between these people that only a war can generate. However, it is a sporadic film that jumps bet­ween highly-charged emo­tional scenes between the sup­porting actors and more­th an-occasional lethargy directly related to Bowie. This film is also the first time ever that Japan has combined efforts to .make a film with an English-speaking country (in this case, England.)

Set in a Japanese concen­tration camp in 1942, Bowie portrays Captain "Straffer" Jack CelliefS, a POW whose self-determination and iron will is so admired by his Japanese captors they. feel compelled to crush it - and him. But underneath Celliers cool exterior is a heavy guilt­trip concerning his kid brother back home. The main problem here is: image and talent are two very different things; Bowie has a lot of the former, very little of the lat­ter. At once he reminds you of a bowling pin waiting to be knocked over; bowling pins

have an image, but they can't act very well. ·

Fortunately, the man who plays Cellier's close friend, Colonel John Lawrence (Tom , Conti), saves this movie from total ego-image destruction. The role he plays (as a liaison between the British and the Japanese) is totally cap­tivating. Emotionally convin­cing, Conti shows you why he is one of the most highly regarded actors in England. His rapport between the com­mander of the camp, Captain Yonoi (Ryuichi Sakamoto) and Sargeant Hara (Takeshi) is a homogenous blend of friendship and closeness (with Hara), and friction and distrust (wi~h Yonoi).

At the same time, a conflict brews between Yonoi, who believes in the old, patriotic ancestral ways of his people and Hara, who thinks the war is just another job and wants to make the best of a bad situation. Hara is somewhat sadistic at times, but he really doesn't mean it; he just wants to have a little fun. Both of these actors compliment Con-

ti very well. Another actor that holds his

own is Jack Thompson, who ~ plays the stuffed-shirt com­mander of the prisoners. If there is anything the Japanese and the British have in com-

' mon, it's to rid the camp of Thompson's character.

The movie is salvaged by these outsianding "suppor­ting" actors, while Bowie flounders along, keeping his image held high above his ac­ting abilities. He has his occa­sional moments, but not enough to rate top billing. Conti steals the show.

This is a good movie without the volume of gratuitous violence that marks contemporary war films. The film has a post-war epilogue between Lawrence and Hara that has to be one of the most emotionally­draining scenes ever. However, the uniqueness lies in the many diverse philosophies of life tossed around by the supporting ac­tors. Conti's performance and the. epilogue alone are worth the price of admission.

But, be forewarned, Bowie isn't that hot. He is better off as a sp.aceman, a role he played in his first film, "The Man Who Fell to Earth." Maybe the people at Brunswick might be in­terested in him. He could design bowling pins that have an image as far-reaching as his own. 0

Rivalry. It almost took an act of God, or at least the State Legislature to renew one.

This past Saturday, CU and CSU banged helmets and shoulder pads for the first

" time since 1958, which CSU won 15-14 on a late two-point conversion. The winner of the game took home a trophy called the Governor's Cup.

MSC Places 4th In WSC Invitational "(It was) by far the

toughest cross-c6untry meet in the country," said

:. ... Metropolitan State College's Head Track Coach, Brian Janssen, as he described the Western State College Invita­tional of September 10. MSC placed fourth in the race with 124 points.

l... Metro's leaders were Scott Paxson, the sophomore 18th with a time of 27:36; ·All­American Char-lee Blueback finished 23rd with the time of

r 27:53; another All-American, · John Liese placed 24th with a

28:03; George Frushour, junior, came in 25th place with a time of 28:08, and junior John Veltman placed 34th with a time of 28:05.

The top five teams were Adams State College, WSC, New Mexico Highlands, MSC and Mines.

Metro will run again, September 17 in the Mines In­

" vitational where MSC is ex­pected to win.

Women's Varsity Soccer

The MSC Women's Varsity Soccer squad lost to a tough CSU team last week. Coming off a 5-0 win over a powerful CU team, the women were victims in the 2-0 CSU win .

The next game will be Monday against Denver University at 4 p.m.

T H E \1 E T H ~) p

Despite Eddie,s objections, intrastate rivalry renewed ' CU was against the

resumption of the series. The person who was casting the main veto was CU's Athletic Director, Eddie Crowder. Crowder has two main

·· reasons why he thinks there shouldn't be a rivalry.

First, he doesn't believe that there is any value in an intrastate rivalry, and secondly, he doesn't think that it'll be a profitable ven­ture.

Okay Eddie bud, first off I have to question your in­telligence. Weren't you one of the main ring leaders for the "get Chuck Fairbanks as head coach" movement? Second, as far as value in the intrastate rivalry goes, why don't you talk to all the A.D.'s whose teams have great rivalries go­ing. Try calling Auburn or 1\labama, Pitt or Penn State.

Should I keep going? Third, along the lines of profit, although the game has yet to sell out, there were only a few thousand tickets left as I sit here writing.

CSU, on the other hand, was for the game. CSU's Athletic Director Thurman McGraw believes that the game will be beneficial to the state of intercollegiate sports in this region, and both in­stitutions in particular. At least we know one thing, CSU pushed hard for this game and they are not going to be taking it lightly.

So Eddie bud, we'll wait and see what happens this weekend. Whatever you do though, don't loose any sleep over the resumption of the series. If you do, I have a sug­gestion - try counting sheep.

MSC kicks its way to 3-0 soccer loss by Dave Migoya

The Sagamon State Univer­sity soccer team beat out MSC's front line "no goals patrol" on Saturday - with a little help from a friend.

MSC lost to SSU 3-0, after MSC Senior Co-Captain Ken Wagner scored a goal and an assist - for the opposition.

The strange scoring started late in .the first half. Wagner took a goal kick from the MSC end and made a perfect pass to an SSU forward. The ball went into the open net while Freshman goalie Mike Fehr stared in disbelief. At least Wagner got his first assist of the season.

The second half was equal­ly surprising. On a routine play, Wagner decided to pass back to Fehr because of the SSU onslaught.

"The goalie always holds out his hand to which side he wants the ball to go,"

assistant-coach Al Ashton said. "Usually, it's always just outside the posts."

Wagner must have missed the signal, because he "pounded the ball right into our own goal," Ashton said.

Needless to say, Wagner was immediately removed from the game. Too bad, SSU lost their ace-in-the-hole.

The third SSU goal came late in the half when time had apparently run out. Accor­ding to the rule book, the clock should be stopped when an injury occurs.

"I'll be darned if we weren't just about at the 50-minute mark when the ref gave a penalty kick to them (SSU)," Ashton said.

The squad travels to Provo, Utah this week for a three­day tournament . .

'Tm not expecting much since we're still re-building, but I hope we'll fare-up ,well," Ashton said. D
