Discipline Gets Results

Alfred University today reported operating revenues of $9.4-million in the institu- tion's private sector for the fiscal year ended last June 30.

In an audit report released today, the University said 1973-74 revenues had exceed- ed expenditures by $173,000.

" T h e surplus represents funds committed in last year's budget for expenditures this year including new academic equipment and repairs to physical facilites," said Ro- bert E. Heywood, vice presi-

^ d e n t for business and finance.

Heywood reported the Uni- versity is currently operating on a private-sector budget of

$9.3-million for the 1974-75

Redmond Resigns from Admissions

D. Lynn Redmond of Hornell announced Oct. 15 his resig- nation as director of fresh- man admissions at Alfred University effective Nov. 8.

Redmond has accepted the post of director of admission at Wayland Academy, Beaver Dam, Wis., a coeducational college preparatory school for students in grades seven

^through 12. He will assume his new position Nov. 18.

A native of Greenwood, Redmond holds a bachelor's degree in political science from Allegheny College and a master of science .in education degree from Alfred University.

He has been a member of the University's admissions staff for the past four years.

Between 1968 and 1970 he served as a teacher at Arkport Central School.

fiscal year, ending next June 30.

The figure is exclusive of the $2.3-million budgeted by New York State for the publicly funded College of Ceramics, one of Alfred University's four undergrad- uate schools and colleges.

As in past years, approxi- mately 78 per cent of the University's 1973-74 operating revenues were derived from student tuition, room and board, Heywood said. The remainder accrued from re- stricted and unrestricted gifts and grants, endowment in- come» payments to Alfred University by New York State for private-sector courses taken by Ceramics College students, and from miscellan- eous sources.

Heywood reported t h a t major categories of expenditures for 1973-74 included instructional (33 per cent), residence and dining halls (18 per cent), student services (6 per cent), educational plant operation (10 per cent), University administration (8 per cent), student aid (7 per cent) and debt service for education buildings (4 per cent).

Kodak Grants Funds to A.U.

The Eastman Kodak Com- pany of Rochester has awarded Alfred University a n unrestricted grant of $3,000.

The award is part of a Kodak program of financial aid to education that is expected this year to provide an aggregate of some $4.6-million to 300 insitutions.

Ceramic Conference To Be Held

At Alfred

A national conference on emerging priorities and goals in ceramic engineering and science will be held at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University Nov. 4-6.

Some 25 executives and engineering specialists from industry, government agencies and labor organizations will discuss developments in the field of ceramics that have inplications for enviromental protection, energy utilization, engineering education and the health and safety of industrial workers.

Several hundred nationwide leaders in engineering, m a n a g e m e n t , m a r k e t i n g , science and higher education are expected to attend the three-day session.

The conference's keynote address will be given by Dr.

Franklin P. Huddle, senior specialist for science and technology of the Library of Congress.

Speakers will also include Dr. Thomas C. MacAvoy, president of the Corning Glass Works and Dr. James Kane, technical adviser for the Atomic Energy Commission.

Among the conference's discussion topics will be the uses of ceramic products in pollution control, uses of refractory ceramics in energy conservation and the nuclear applications of ceramic mat- erials.

Presentations made at the conference will subsequently be made available in book form by the Plenum Press of New York City.

The conference organizing

Alfred University's vice president for student affairs, Dr. S. Gene Odle, today released figures showing that some form of campus disciplinary or corrective action was taken against 105 students charged with a variety of campus and civil offenses between September 1971 and mid-July 1974.

According to a statistical survey compiled by Odle, 59 of the cases involved disruptive behavior and 23 had to do with academic dishonesty.

There were 14 cases of damaged property and six cases of theft, Odle reported.

Three other cases were drug-related or psychiatric in nature. Female students, who make up about a third of the University's student body, accounted for only 15 per cent of the 105-case disciplinary total, said Odle.

Odle said the range of corrective or d i s c i p l i n a r y action administered in the three-year period included referrals to the University's counseling center, warning letters, reductions in course grade, fines or restitutions for property damage, and sus- pensions from school.

"Discipline is still an active function of the University," he asserted. " T h e process involves a good number of the University's faculty, students

and Dr. James S. Reed, associate professor of ceramic engineering.

and staff."

"In every instance a person signing a complaint or a person accused of some trangression has a full range of procedural rights and responsibilites.''

William A. Allen, director of campus safety at Alfred, noted that students making complaints can either go directly to the police, use the investigative services his office provides or seek redress through the University's own judicial machinery, of which Odle is a part.

Allen operates a campus patrol system consisting of 28 part-time student security aides. Neither Allen nor the aides carry weapons.

Allen said that he and his aides cooperate closely with Lldon Jamison, chief of the Alfred village police force, in the investigation of complaints arising out of incidents on the University campus.

Allen said that in the three-year period between 1971 and the summer of 1974 some 600 c a m p u s cases involving violations of law came to the attention of the University safety office.

These cases were separate from the disciplinary case- load handled by the student affairs office and campus judiciary.

Allen said the cases his office dealt with included a relatively heavy incidence of v a n d a l i s m a n d thefts of student or University property. They also included a scattering of complaints al- leging physical attacks a- gainst persons.

" A significant percentage of incidents occuring on the

Study Results Contest

Common Ideas on Aging Homecoming Queen

Findings announced Oct. 23 by two Alfred University psychologists tend to cast doubt on a commonly held assumption that intellectual functioning declines in old age.

The two researchers, Dr.

Douglas F. Johnson and Dr.

Charles B. White, said results of a recently completed study indicate that a measurable decrease in IQ (intelligence quotient) test scores by the elderly "may have more to do with perception and psycho- motor performance than with innate intellectual ability."

Johnson and White issued a report on an experiment they devised in which 20 men and women over 65 took two closely related versions of an intelligence "inventory" called the Wonderlic Personnel Test.

Discipline . . .

Continued from Page 1 campus involves people having no connection with Alfred University," said Allen, add- ing :

"The University has identi- fied persons who have been a disruptive influence on the campus. If they're caught on University property, we won't hesitate to press criminal trespass charges against them."

Odle, meanwhile, pointed out that "we are able to resolve internally some of the things our own students do on campus that may be classified as crimes, such as malicious mischief. But off-campus criminal behavior by Univer- sity students, when it occurs, is processed directly by the civil authorities without the University's involvement."

Nearly all of the 105 disciplinary cases cited by Odle were personally adjudi- cated either by him or by one of his aides, or by the academic deans and faculty.

Six of the cases were referred to the University's Student Hearing Board, consisting of six students, two faculty members and an administrat- or.

The board is empowered to hear evidence and dispense punishment, subject to an appeals process.

Odle compared his own role to that of a hearing officer.

"There is a clear trend to handle cases coming to my attention on a one-to-one basis without referral to the student judiciary," he said.

"If this can be accomplish- ed, I try to suggest a penalty or corrective action that is consistent with policy and precedent, and I have the authority to implement a disciplinary decision."

"At the same time," continued Odle, " a student accused of an infraction of law or campus rules, or his accuser, may decline to accept the decision and request a full hearing."

Allen, a former police officer, said his responsibil- ities as campus safety direct- or frequently overlapped with those of Odle. He will sometimes refer cases to Odle for campus disposition or receive cases from the student affairs office for referral to the police.

Both versions involved a series of multiple-choice questions. In one version, the test was taken in the normal manner with paper and pencil. In the other, the subjects were seated before the typewriter console and cathode-ray display screen of a standard computer termin- al.

The questions in this form of the test were flashed on the screen and the subjects asked to respond by depressing appropriate keys on the console.

The scores of the elderly subjects dropped significantly on the computerized version of the test. As a group they also scored lower than a control group of college-age subjects who needed far less time to respond to the computerized questions.

There was no significant difference between the IQ scores of the elderly and college-age subjects on the paper-and-pencil form of the test. The younger group incresed its own performance slightly on the computerized form.

According to Johnson and White, the results point to the conclusion that a group's IQ test performace is influenced by the nature of the testing situation.

"We think we have evidence here to show that what some people observe as a decline in cognitive functioning in the aged is really something quite different,"

the researchers said.

"Many of the older people in this study felt that the computerized testing proce- dures were decidedly un- pleasant."

Johnson pointed out in an interview that the apparent decline of IQ with age is a subject of controversy among psychologists. Referring to IQ test scores, Johnson said "you can make these things go up or down depending on the testing environment, which relates directly for the far larger question of what intelligence actually is and what methods should be used to measure it."

Johnson said he was skepti- cal about current IQ testing practices. "The whole field of mental measurement is under attack. A major reason for this has been the difficulty encountered in the testing of cultural subgroups such as blacks and the elderly.

"Many atgue that performance is affected by an array of social and cognitive fac- tors, and in our own work at Alfred there's no question but that we've been able to induce an increase or decrease in IQ test performance by changing the testing environment.

"Intelligence does not seem to be one thing, and there is no single way of measuring it," he said.

In a report on their work being prepared for publication in professional journals, Johnson and White say that

"The implications of this study regard our traditional notion of old age. It seems unacceptable to classify a decline of intellectual functioning as an inherent part of the aging process."

Feminism Sparks Spock's Mood

On interesting and stimulat- ing two hours was spend last Monday night in a crowded Ade Hall where Dr. Benjamin Spock lectured for the sixth Human Sexuality Forum. Ask- ed to speak on "Changing Sex Roles," Dr. Spock referred to the Woman's Lib. Movement which was an important aspect in his growing aware- ness of the impending change of sex roles. A few active brushes with the feminist movement were enough to convince him of the need for a change in our society and its values. Women are still discriminated against in various field such as graduate school, the court system, salaries, promotions and in numerous other aspects of life. Dr. Spock feels that this has resulted in women becoming prejudiced against themselves and this passes on to their children. How is one to raise unprejudiced children when society is so wrapped up in such discriminating tastes? Career women with children are made to feel quilty, for society says the female is to stay at home and raise the family. An inner conflict results thus forcing women to choose between her family and her career.

One answer that has been formulated to help solve thisi conflict are the day care centers or group rearing. Yet this can create new problems especially for young children between the ages of 1-2 when their emotional needs are too demanding for school. The first two years of life are the most maleable of all for this is when the more fundamental outlooks on life are formed.

Such reactions to life as to whether the child will be a pessimist or optomist, warm- hearted or cold, trusting or suspicious are greatly im- pressed during these two year. Parental response is of vast importance and is found lacking in most of group raising resulting in the "turning out of too many drones,"

according to Dr. Spock.

In the U.S. a woman is entitled to equal rights in the career world vet, according

to Dr. Spock, few jobs are more creative then childrear- ing. He feels there is so much to work with and such a wide range of possibilities to pursue in turning out a fine child. Yet this requires the attention of the father as well as the mother, resulting in a necessary change in our society. We need to develop

Dr. Benjamin Spock better ways for parents to stay home with their children.

Two possibilities are the shortening of the work day so as to enable the parents to spend more time with the children or, looking into the future, paying parents to raise their families. Also, one of the more fiendish inven- tions of our society is isolating couples in their homes, thus literally destroying social communications and interac- tions with other families. The African tribes deserve two points for overcoming this problem.

In conclusion, Dr. Spock supported the idea that marriage and raising a family should be a 50-50 deal with neither partner taking complete control in one area. The forum ended with the note that we must stop battling fiercly against each other and work cooperatively towards a common goal.

Pentagon Drafts Race War Plans

by Jack Anderson WASHINGTON - Pen-

tagon strategists are quietly formulating plans that could conceivably drag the United States into an African racial war. Here are the inside details:

Most of the oil consumed by the West is shipped in tankers which steam through the Indian Ocean and around South Africa's Cape of Good Hope. The Soviet Union has been building up its fleet in the Indian Ocean and defense planners now believe the Kremlin could easily disrupt the tanker traffic.

Thus, the United States, in concert with its NATO allies, is proposing to defend the

"Cape Route" from the alleged Russian threat. Such plans would undoubtedly re- quire the cooperation of white-ruled South Africa.

NATO officials admitted several months ago that

"contingency plans" were being drawn up. Recent reports from South Africa, furthermore, tell of naval visits by the British and French. And U.S. officials are reportedly discussing plans to use South African port facilities.

Once military cooperation

~is established, NATO could eventually be drawn into South Africa's escalating racial squabbles with its black neighbors.

T h e r e is a s t r o n g possibility, however, that the

"Cape Route" issue is a bogus one. A recent United Nations report, classified confiden-

tial, traces the controversy back to conservative NATO officials who for years have been looking for an excuse to include South Africa in the western defense system.

The U.N. document, compiled by consultant Sean Ger- vasi, concluded: "The debate about the Cape Route ... is actually a smokescreen for hid- ing the real motives of those who organized it."

A secret U.S. foreign policy d o c u m e n t on S o u t h e r n Africa, National Security Study M e m o r a n d u m 39, bluntly acknowledges that South Africa "hopes to use the small but persistent Soviet naval presence in the Indian Ocean as a basis for some sort of collaboration with the U.S.

... with resultant increased U.S. naval presence in the area and use of South African ports."

F i n a l l y , t h e r e is the testimony of no less an authority than Central In- telligence Agency Director William Colby. In a closed- door session with a congres- sional committee two months ago, he described the Soviet presence in the Indian Ocean as "relatively small and inac- tive."

There was little chance, Colby added, that the Rus- sians would increase the size of their fleet in those waters unless the United States did it first.

No Deal: Perhaps sometimes investigative reporters should give the public a report on a scandal they have

failed to find.

We have been bombarded with inquiries, for example, about Richard Nixon's presi- d e n t i a l p a r d o n . Many suspicious Americans refuse to believe President Ford's explanation before the House Judiciary Committee that he thought the pardon would close the book on Watergate.

They suspect there must have been a deal between Nixon and Ford.

For several weeks, we have been searching for evidence of such a deal. We have questioned trusted sources who are close to both Nixon and Ford. One source was actually present at San Clemente during the discussions that led to the pardon.

But if there was an advance agreement between Nixon and Ford, we have found no evidence of it. We haven't uncovered one document, we haven't located one witness, with information about a Nixon-Ford deal.

In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, we will accept President Ford's word that he pardoned Richard Nixon because he thought it was the right thing ti do. We question Ford's judgment, but we have no reason to question his integrity.

Nato Communists? Secret intelligence reports warn that two Western nations, both members of the Atlantic Alliance, are in danger of a Communist takeover. They are Italy and Portugal.

Italy is already at the brink of economic collapse. The Communist party is emerg- i n g as the c o u n t r y ' s strongest, most disciplined political group.

Intelligence reports note that the Communists are also highly sophisticated. They have toned down the inflam- matory propaganda of the past and are proposing instead a foreign policy that would be neither anti-Ameri-

can nor anti-Soviet.

The intelligence reports predict that the Communists will begin to share power with the ruling Christian Democrats and then will gradually increase their power.

In Portugal, the Com- munists have come out of hid- ing as the best organized, most powerful political fac- tion in the country. Already they are moving into position of power in the new government.

The intelligence reports warn that U.S. base rights in Portugal's Azores islands already are in jeopardy.

Klassen Clamor: In the days of the Pony Express, it took four days to get a letter from coast to coast. Today, 100 years and $100 billion later, it still frequently takes four days.

The postal problem is a complicated one, but much of the responsibility for it can be laid on the man who runs the shoe, Postmaster General Elmer "Ted" Klassen.

Klassen is under investigation by the FBI for accepting a fee from a postal contrac- tor, a story first reported in our daily column. And a con- gressional committee recently put Klassen's cronies under oath and discovered that the embattled postal chief had not been candid about his role in a number of post office contracting boon- doggles.

These and other charges have raised a clamor for Klassen's removal. Rep. Mor- ris Udall, D.-Ariz., has already asked Klassen to step a s i d e , U d a l l ' s c a l l for Klassen's head will soon be taken up by some of the con- gressman's Postal Committee colleagues.

In an attempt to hang onto his p o s t , K l a s s e n h a s launched a counter-attack.

But the handwriting is on the wall. Our sources say he will be pushed out by the end of the year.

Flu Epidemic Anticipated in

Alfred Area

"A mild flu epedemic may be expected at Alfred sometime between December and March," Dr. John Vagell, resident doctor at the Health Center, has announced.

The type and origin of the flu is unknown, said Vagell.

He noted that " W e do not know that we will even have the flu here," since it is not travelling through the country, in a definite pattern.

Vagell said that> he has consulted the State Depart- ment to decide on appropriate measures to take if an epidemic does occur.

"A vaccine will be available at the cost of one dollar to faculty and personnel, in the last week in October or the first week in November.

The authorities do not recom- mend the vaccine for young, healthy age groups." Vagell said.

He further explained that he does not have the facilities to provide the entire Univer- sity with vaccinations, but that they will be available on a personal basis for those students that desire them.

However, Vagell remarked that he does not believe it necessary for healthy students to take this precaution.

Radiation Plagues Area Farms

There has been a great deal of concern expressed by residents of West Valley, N.Y., which is 30 miles west of Alfred, over the harmful effects of radiation contamination emitted by a nuclear recycling plant located there.

For example, one West Vally farmer stated, "All I know is that while the plant was in operation, I had an unusually high number of cows aborting Now that the plant is closed, I don't have as many problems.

I'm not alone. Other farmers tell me the same thing."

In 1966, the Nuclear Fuel Services Company, a subsid- iary of Getty Oil, began its operations of reprocessing reclaimable uranium, pluton- ium, and other high level radio-active products of spent fuels from nuclear power plants. However, due to various reasons, including enviromental contamination, abnormal occurances, and financial difficulities, N.F.S. is currently shut down. It has, nevertheless, applied for a permit from the Atomic Energy Commission to resume operations, and expand the plant nearly three-fold.

N.F.S.'s desire to expand has come under attack by local residents and environ- mentally-concered indivi- duals. Because of the plant's past record of rather sloppy

operations, which include the release of high radio-active substances into the atmos- phere and a near-by stream, possible genetic damage to the livestock of area farms, and harmful effects to workers in the plant, N.F.S. proves to be a public health hazard.

A catastrophic accident involving at least a 100 mile radius is not an impossibility and therefore, should be of concern to the people of Alfred.

The Alfred Ecology Group plans to have Dr. Martin Resnikoff, professor of physics at Buffalo University, speak on this matter of public health and the N.F.S. plant.

He will explain what problems the proposed expansion would impose on area residents, the environmental impact of radio-active waste disposal, and general effects of the plant expansion. Dr.

Resnikoff will speak in Myers Hall, Room 34 on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 7:30 p.m. His talk is open to all students, faculty, staff and Alfred residents.

Slavery Lives

The issue of slavery is still alive and it continues to be argued heatedly by histori- ans, said Prof. Gary Ostrower of the History department in his lecture entitled, "A New Controversary About Slav- ery," Tuesday, Oct. 15 in the Campus Center.

Prof. Ostrower outlined the differences between the points of view of the traditionalist and modernist concept of slavery. He stated that the traditionalist view tends to see slavery as a good economic system, and very beneficial to the slaves, for they were supposedly dumb, lazy a n d child-like. The modernist point of view, however, stated that typical slaves were 35 % more efficient than paid labor, and blacks acted the way they did precisely because they were enslaved.

Prof. Ostower stated that

"the crisis of the 1950's and 60's in the United States demanded a closer scruting of the race issue." Since then, an abundance of very fine writings by American histor- ians on slavery has been published. He concluded the lecture, saying that slavery was very destructive and degrading in the psychologi- cal sense, and in some ways, the physical sense.

Students Seek Energy

Alternatives

What kind of a contest do you run after you've had students build hydrogen- powered urban vehicles one year and fire fighting robots the next?

Considering the current energy crisis, you could have them dream-up ways of « making televisions run off the power of the sun!

And that's exactly what SCORE (Student Competitions on Relevant Engineering) is doing in the 1974-75 Energy Resource Alternatives (ERA) competition-.

To compete in ERA student teams from universities across the country will be developing innovative energy conversion and power gener- ating systems using wind, sun, sythetic gas, a n d other alternative energy sources. * Not just a design competition, ERA teams will actually build full-size working models of the hardware they design.

"We'll be seeing windmills, solar collectors, and methane- fired turbines among the projects teams will be bring- ing to the Final Text Event next August," explains Uni- versity of Wisconsin senior and ERA Coordinating Com- mittee member Doreen Osow- sky. "The alternative energy field is wide open, so there's a lot of room for student innovation."

ERA is SCORE'S t h i r d national intercollegiate engin- « eering competition. Over 3,200 students from 80 different colleges and universities have participated in SCORE'S 1971-1972 Urban Vehicle De- sign Competition (UVDC) and the recently completed 1973- 1974 Students Against Fires (SAF) competition. The Uni- versity of British Columbia (Canada) had the top overall entry in UVDC, while Penn State took the SAF Grand Award.

"SCORE is a student-run organization which challen- ges student engineers to put their education to work while they're still in school, "

emphasizes SCORE president Mark Radtke from the Mas- 4

sachusetts Institute of Tech- nology. "While in most intercollegiate competitions student teams compete on the athletic field, SCORE teams compete with their projects on the test field."

To help teams choose their ERA project, the Energy Resource Alternatives Sym- posium I will be held October 18-20, 1974 at the University of Texas in Arlington, Texas.

Leading experts will discuss the state of the art of alternative energy technology and the areas most open to innovation. There will also be a discussion of thè ERA rules and timetable.

ERA is a chance for student teams from Alfred to get involved in a nationwide engineering innovation competition. Interested students and faculty should contact the Dean of Engineering's office or the ERA Coordinating Committee at the following address:

Surf 's U p on Guzzling Challenge

To the Editor:

The men of the Alfred Fire Department were much im- pressed by the eating abilites of the Alfred student mention- ed in the below article from the Hornell Evening Tribune (10/22/74). We are convinc- ed, however, that Dr. Moritz, assoicate professor of mathe- matics, could easily do as well.

R. D.Sands Chief Richard Seligman, Alfred University sophomore from Livington, N.J., polished off a complete surf-and-turf dinner Sunday night at The Big Elms Colonial room.

"Bring me two more of the same," he said to the waitress.

"You gotta be kidding,"

replied the startled waitress.

"No, we got a bet," said one of the other Alfred students at the table. "He says he can eat three complete dinners. So tell the chef to start cooking."

It took a bit of doing. He had to move away from the table before completing the trick- but Seligman won the bet.

He put away three surf- and-turf dinners. This included three soups, three orders of peas, three orders of potatoes, three salads and three orders of pie with ice cream. That also includes three helpings of steak and lobster.

"I feel fine," he said after it was all over. But he only smiled when someone asked if he wanted to try for four.

His check was $45. For the entire group, dinner tab was more than $100.

Witnessing the gigantic, gas-

tronomic guzzling were: Ron Volk, Livingston, N.J.; John Saypol, Teaneck, N.J.; Craig Austin, Friendship; George Cobb, Rushford; Judy Schin- delheim, New York City; Gail Amsterdam, Harrison and Barbara Jasper, Scarsdale.

Dreams of Glory Inhibited

Dear Fiat Lux,

I've just returned from McLane Center where it was my intention to play some pickup basketball. Imagine my chagrin when I found the varsity team practicing and there was no where else to play. Further, in the afternoon (3-6 p.m.) the gym is occupied by the J.V. team for practice. The end result is that there is no place for those of us who have neither the desire, ability nor in- clination toward intercollegiate basketball to play pickup games or shoot around.

Understand, I do not be- grudge McLane gym to the two teams. As manager of the J.V. team last year I viewed the difficulties presented when both the J.V. and varsity teams tried to practice in the same gym at the same time.

Therefore, I request that Davis gym is opened from 3-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. for free play, as it was closed when I checked this p.m. When you're paying $4500 to go to a school there should be a place (other than outdoor courts) where late night W a l t Fraziers can live out their dreams of glory.

Sincerely, Sean Mohegan

It is hard to get a job, even if you have (or will soon have) a college degree. The fact is simple: there are too many people currently driving taxis with a Bachelor's diploma hanging out of a back pocket, and the employment rate seems to continually soar.

There is a degree of compla- cency that sets in sometime in the middle of the senior year, where worry about a job seems to be a good thing to put off for a few days. That behavior easily tides you through mid-terms, and before you know it, the time has come to start finishing papers for the end of the semester.

There really is very little time, if you rationalize as well as everybody else, to look for a job through your senior year.

It's always nice to know somebody to get the first job, but more and more these contacts find the job market too tight to help out. A few years ago, you'll be told, there would have been no problem but things are really tight right now. The job market is as bad as you've heard, but there are jobs available if you're willing to take the time to really seek them out.

The most reasonable wav to do this is the old routine of sending out resumes and letters of inquiry, making follow-up phone . calls, and arranging interviews. This can be grueling after a 100 attempts, but the' results can be particularly good if you have the patience to sell yourself over and over again.

Resume reprints do cost some money, and it is important to write and prepare the resume properly the first time for just this reason. If the resume is clear, concise, neatly done, and necessarily impactful, it has been done properly.

Rapid reproduction services are less expensive than xeroxing (and of higher quality), so stop by a local printer before spending 100 dimes jp the machine at the library.

Spare no reasonable expense in your job searching, since you'll probably make most of it back during the first week on a job you like. There are ways of spending plenty of money, however, notably employment services and placement agencies. An employment service will take your name and qualifications and match you with a job that- might become available.

These services do have the resources to maintain long job listings, but it will cost you as much as 3% of a year's earnings (3% of $10,000 is

$300). Some employment services are honestly involved in helping seniors, but the few that have operated at the edge of integrity have given reason for scrutiny before dealing with employment services. Placement agencies are equally deserving of investigation. These companies us- ually provide lists of available jobs (jobs rarely stay available for more than 2 weeks), and request a fee be sent to be listed with them, only to be

compounded by an additional fee for actual placement (in some cases). Once you are matched with a job (whether you want it or not), the money has been paid, and their concern becomes strictly profit-minded. Once again, scrutinize and investigate before spending any money.

One organization, neither a placement agency nor an employment service, was developed to assist in the job search. The emphasis here is on exposure, much in the fashion of sending out resumes to a large group of companies. The differences here, however, are significant. First, the list of employers is researched ex- tensively. Second, only a $20 fee is charged to the student in return for space in a periodical dovoted entirely to mini-resumes (60 word self- descriptions, as they are called by the College Gradu- ate Register). These self-descriptions are listed in classified areas (Social Science, Media, Engineering), and sent to personnel offices at over 1000 companies. If interested in being part of the January issue (which is not too early for May graduates, if you think about it), students are asked to send a check or money order to The College Graduate Register, Incorpor- ated, 250 Fulton Avenue, Hempstead, New York 11550

(but don't wait, because the dealine is Novembfer 22, 1974), along with a carefully written 60-word self-descrip- tion. No guarantees are made for jobs, but they can save you money in mass resume exposure.

The College Graduate Reg- ister is a" publication created by former students and business professionals to assist college seniors in the job search process. The publication is composed entirely of 60-word self-descriptions of students interested in having

ALFRED GREEN

When the Piggy-Back plant was first introduced to indoor gardeners in the 1930's, it created a great stir of excitement. This was due to the unique reproductive process that it has-that of growing new plants at the base of mature leaves. The Piggy-Back is native to the North-Western U.S. where it grows as a ground cover.

International Club Defines Objectives

An International Club has formed and defined its objectives and the types of activities to be planned.

The club's objectives are: 1.

to provide foreign students an opportunity to exchange with one another and American students. 2. to share the experience of being a foreign student in an American University.

The types of activities planned are both social and educational, including pic- nics, parties, dinners, field trips, movies, slides and group discussions.

The clubs' first meeting was held on Oct. 17, in the MacNamara Room. Those present were: Chris Carelli, Aktar Mohammed, Ravendra Nath Bhagava, John Muindi, Ben Ukwu, Erastus Mchioki, Don Jones, Sue Levine, Mon- ica Welsh and Davis Duria Gikonyo.

Ways to promote the club, increase participation and the possibility of merging with the Foreign Students Associa- tion at the Ag-Tech State College were discussed.

Aktar Mohammed, Presi- dent of the Foreign Students

Piggy-Backs have hairy maplelike leaves that are mature at seven inches but grow to fifteen inches. The plant prefers cool tempera- tures and must be kept moist.

They can take low to bright light situations but direct sun should be avoided. During winter an east or west window will be best for them.

Piggy-Backs need to be fertilized monthly with an Iron-rich ferilizer which help the leaves keep their good green coloring.

To gr<4w new Piggy-Bakes, simply remove an entire leave and stem from the main plant.

Put it in moist sand or vermiculite, keep it moist and soon it will root, enabling you to plant it in soil. A mix oi2A potting soil and Vi sand and peat moss in equal amounts should be used in planting ji]

your Piggy-Backs. |jj

The College Graduate Reg- ister is Incorporated in the State of New York, and guarantees fee return should there be publiction difficulties. We provide a service for the students; we are not in the business of placement. Our orientation, therefore, is taken from a college student's point of reference. We feel that we are unique for just that reason.

Hunt up your old tube of Brylcreem and your blue suede shoes and get ready for Greaser Weekend, November 8 and 9. The festivities get underway Friday night during dinner at Ade Hall and the Brick, where numerous drive-in delights will be served:

double-burgers, foot-long hot-dogs, milkshakes, fries, and beer.

To get you in the swing, there will be a WALF disc jockey on hand to play all the best tunes of the fifties. And don't forget, you have to look the part...the best greaser at dinner wins a prize.

Later that evening, beginning at 9:00 p.m., there will be a beer blast in Davis Gym. A $1.50 gets you all the beer you can drink, along with the live music of "The Alligators", a group comprised of former members of "The Stomping Suede Greasers."

To get things hopping on Saturday, there will be a telephone booth stuffing contest at 1:00 p.m. in front of Bartlett. The winning booth will take away a keg of beer. A drag race immediately follows the phone booth stuffing at 2:00 p.m.

However, in this race, the engine of your jalopy can not be started. Instead there will be teams of six men each, composed of one driver and five pushers to supply the horse power. All dorms, Panhellenic houses, and orga-nizations are welcome to participate. A keg of beer will be awarded to the winning team
