CahnandBrostoff Announce Their Plans: More Students on University Committees

By Linda A. Carl In a r e c e n t interview with the F i a t Lux, P r e s i d e n t e l e c t R o b e r t Cahn a n d Vice-Presi- d e n t e l e c t M a r k Brostoff s t a t e d t h a t their m a i n objec- tive d u r i n g t h e i r t i m e in office will be: an i n c r e a s e of s t u d e n t input on all F a c u l t y and A d m i n i s t r a t i v e c o m m i t - tees.
Cahn said t h e y have based all their goals on p r o b l e m s b r o u g h t to them by con- c e r n e d s t u d e n t s a n d on c h a n g e s they f e e l a r e neces- s a r y w i t h i n t h e S t u d e n t G o v e r n m e n t itself.
Cahn and Brostoff said their i m m e d i a t e g o a l s a r e f o r s t u d e n t w e l f a r e and include the building of s t e p s up to t h e e n t r a n c e of t h e P u b to r e p l a c e the p r e s e n t " H a z a r -
d o u s " r a m p , and the p l a c i n g of a g u a r d rail a l o n g the f r o n t of a couple of P i n e Hill suites to " p r o t e c t s t u d e n t s ' possible falls on the s t e e p s l o p e "
outside their d o o r s .
To i n c r e a s e c o m m u n i c a t i o n between s t u d e n t s and Admin- istration, they plan to obtain a list of all F a c u l t y and A d m i n i s t r a t i v e c o m m i t t e e s and propose to put s t u d e n t s - S e n a t o r s and n o n - S e n a t o r s - on a l l s u c h c o m m i t t e e s . T h e s e s t u d e n t s would be directly responsible to the S t u d e n t G o v e r n m e n t a n d would be r e q u i r e d to give r e g u l a r r e p o r t s on events a n d i t e m s discussed a t com mitt- tee m e e t i n g s . C a h n and Bro- stoff will be m e e t i n g with Don King, Dean of S t u d e n t A f f a i r s , in their second or third week in o f f i c e to d i s c u s s
these plans. T h e y hope to m e e t with him e a r l i e r to decide how to s e a t s t u d e n t s on these c o m m i t t e e s , they said.
Other goals they hope to a c h i e v e include i n c r e a s i n g l i b r a r y hours. According to Cahn, " T h e l i b r a r y is not being used to its m a x i m u m potential, due to its h o u r s . "
He hopes H e r r i c k L i b r a r y will modify its policy to prolong open h o u r s to mid- night d u r i n g the s e m e s t e r , a n d to o p e n e a r l i e r on Sundays.
Cahn plans to attend to specific c o m p l a i n t s m a d e by Art and N u r s i n g Students. He hopes to find s o m e way to enable s t u d e n t s to take books out of Scholes L i b r a r y , such as p e r h a p s l e a v i n g an I.D.

Dear Editor:
I am personally fed up with the interviews and policies of the staff of the Fiat Lux.
P e r h a p s you should ALL grow up a little bit and look a t life realistically for a change.
The University can n o t a f f o r d to constantly lose money and Qoes not h a v e u n e n d i n g funds. As a m a t t e r of f a c t money is very tight.
I was priveleged to be able to attend the J a n u a r y Uni- versity Trustees meeting in New York City a s a student observer. I observed f i r s t hand how university con- c e r n s a r e handled by the g o v e r n i n g b o a r d of t h i s school. These t r u s t e e s a r e all highly successful business people, m a n y of which have built up a very prosperous corporations from s c r a t c h . Thus, you can see they a r e q u i t e a c c u s t o m e d to t h e chore of m a k i n g up budgets a n d o p e r a t i n g w i t h o u t a deficit. We a r e only too f o r t u n a t e to have such valu- able people to give of their time WITHOUT ANY com- pensation. Might I also add t h a t most, if not all of our t r u s t e e s give considerable s u m s of money each y e a r to m a k e up t h e d i f f e r e n c e between the costof e d u c a t i n g us and our tuition expenses.

Now Fiat Lux, do you think you know a b e t t e r group of people t h a t can m a n a g e and r a i s e the f i n a n c e s of this uni- versity?

To all concerned,
This letter is a response to a l e t t e r p u b l i s h e d in l a s t week's F i a t (2/ 21/ 77) en- titled " A Call for the E n d of Another E l i t i s m . " In her l e t t e r , K a t h y M c D e r m o t t c l a i m s not to be a liberal apologist, yet she is to be c o m m e n d e d for her a t t e m p t to e x p r e s s p r e c i s e l y t h e liberal apologist viewpoint, for it is the only, even remotely, intelligible p a r t of the letter. Ms. M c D e r m o t t is c e r t a i n l y e n t i t l e d to h e r v i e w s r e l a t i n g to t h e problems Alfred faces, views w h i c h o t h e r s in o u r university c o m m u n i t y em- pathize with. I'm sure her c o n c e r n is v e r y m u c h a p p r e c i a t e d , a n d u p o n g r a d u a t i n g no doubt she will receive the highest of rec- o m m e n d a t i o n s .
In the r e s t of her letter, h o w e v e r , M s . M c D e r m o t t directs her invective t o w a r d
" p s e u d o r a d i c a l s " in g e n e r a l and the Fiat's contributing e d i t o r in p a r t i c u l a r . S h e a c c u s e s M r . S c h l e g e l of p r o p o s i n g t h a t s t u d e n t s direct faculty on w h a t to teach, or in h e r own words
" h e obviously believes, and s t a t e s as m u c h in his a r t i c l e t h a t students should d i c t a t e m o r e often to their profess- ors w h a t should be t a u g h t to them in their c o u r s e s . "
F o r those of us who think while we r e a d i t ' s quite c l e a r , t h a t is not w h a t Mr. Schlegel had proposed a t all. W h a t Mr. Schlegel h a d a d v o c a t e d , Ms. M c D e r m o t t , was t h a t students should have a m u c h g r e a t e r input in designing their p r o g r a m s . He suggest- ed t h a t students should do l i t t l e o u t s i d e i n d e p e n d e n t r e s e a r c h in their p a r t i c u l a r field of study, before reg- istering for courses. This way students can be m u c h m o r e informed a s to w h a t c o u r s e s a r e o f f e r e d a n d w h i c h a r e of r e a l , n o t relative, value in t h a t field. It is a t this point t h a t a s t u d e n t can intelligently either m a k e o u t a s c h e d u l e , k n o w i n g a h e a d of t i m e w h a t t h e y ' r e getting into, or if t h e r e is a lack of courses t h a t a r e really r e l e v a n t to the stu- d e n t ' s interests, then design a course with h i s / her in- s t r u c t o r t h a t is m o r e m e a n - ingful to t h a t student.
I t is c l e a r t h a t M s . M c D e r m o t t h a s completely misunderstood M r . Schlegel and p e r h a p s a little insight can be a d d e d as to why. She suggests " t h a t p e r h a p s the contributing editor is irked b e c a u s e his opinion on how to run a course h a s never been solicited. I know m i n e h a s , and I believe when needed or d e s i r e d , h a s b e e n f a i r l y h e e d e d . " I think if Ms.
M c D e r m o t t w e r e n ' t so con-
cerned with the popularity a m o n g professors, of Mr.

Study Habits and Job Hunting
By Dorothy Towe and Charles Shultz
1. Q. Why should I bother to check out the j o b m a r k e t now when I plan to go to g r a d u a t e school next S e p t e m b e r ?
A. No problem if e v e r y t h i n g is OK! B u t if you don't s c o r e well on your g r a d u a t e ex- a m s ; or you a r e n ' t a c c e p t e d to a g r a d u a t e p r o g r a m ; or your situation c h a n g e s and you a r e u n a b l e to a t t e n d g r a d u a t e school in the fall, you m a y be a t a disadvant- a g e . Why not see who is hiring in the fields you a r e i n t e r e s t e d in? I t will be good i n s u r a n c e and it m i g h t give you a b e t t e r idea a s to how to develop your g r a d u a t e school p r o g r a m .
2. Q. I study a lot and think I know t h e m a t e r i a l but when I get into an e x a m , I f r e e z e and end up with a lousy g r a d e . W h a t c a n I do?
A. Some i n s t r u c t o r s feel t h a t if you r e a l l y know t h e m a t e r i a l b a c k w a r d s , . f o r - w a r d s , up, and down, you'll n e v e r f r e e z e . I t ' s possible you d o n ' t r e a l l y u n d e r s t a n d the s u b j e c t and c a n ' t r e a s - s e m b l e ideas w h e n the ques- tions d o n ' t follow t e x t or l e c t u r e e x a c t l y . If t h a t ' s t r u e , try getting a f r i e n d or t u t o r to quiz you b e f o r e h a n d .
BUT i t ' s a l s o possible you do know t h e m a t e r i a l and get so t e n s e y o u l i t e r a l l y c a n ' t think. If so, a t e s t desensiti- zation p r o g r a m c a n be devel- oped f o r you. I t involves l e a r n i n g how to r e l a x a n d a t t a c h i n g t h a t r e l a x e d feel- ing to a h i e r a r c h y situations.
If you or a g r o u p of your f r i e n d s a r e i n t e r e s t e d in this, let us know.
3. Q. I ' m p l a n n i n g to t a k e the s u m m e r off following g r a d u a t i o n . R e l a x , t r a v e l , m a y b e get m y old s u m m e r j o b b a c k . I n A u g u s t or S e p t e m b e r I'll s t a r t a s e r i o u s job s e a r c h . How m u c h will this h u r t m y c h a n c e s for a good job?
A. This question is often a s k e d . S e n i o r s a n d g r a d s t u d e n t s w h o h a v e b e e n going to school since t h e y w e r e 5 or 6 y e a r s old w a n t to t a k e a b r e a k b e f o r e t h e y m o v e into a " c a r e e r p a t h . "
The solution is a difficult one a n d n e e d s to be a n s w e r e d on an individual b a s i s since e a c h p e r s o n ' s situation is d i f f e r e n t . B a s i c a l l y , e m p l o y e r s k n o w t h a t colleges h a v e their l a r g e s t g r a d u a t i n g c l a s s in l a t e
s p r i n g and they plan m o s t of their hiring a c c o r d i n g l y . This d o e s n ' t m e a n , however, t h a t they w o n ' t be h i r i n g a t o t h e r t i m e s of t h e y e a r . O u r s u g g e s t i o n is t h a t y o u s h o u l d n ' t w a i t u n t i l s u m m e r ' s e n d to b e g i n c h e c k i n g out t h e job m a r k e t . Find out w h o ' s hiring a n d w h a t your o p p o r t u n i t i e s a r e . Think a b o u t w h e r e you would like to be g e o g r a p h i c a l l y a n d w h a t jobs m i g h t be a v a i l a b l e t h e r e . In other words, begin your s e a r c h long b e f o r e you plan to begin working. You m i g h t even be lucky enough to find a c o m p a n y who would hire you now a n d let you begin work in S e p t e m b e r .
4. Q. Why does it take m e longer to l e a r n s o m e t h i n g t h a n m y r o o m m a t e ? Am I stupid or a m I doing some- thing wrong?
A. I t ' s highly unlikely t h a t you a r e " s t u p i d " . " S t u p i d s "
do not g r a d u a t e from High School and c o m p l e t e a n y s e m e s t e r s of college.
T h e r e a r e a n u m b e r of p o s s i b l e e x p l a n a t i o n s f o r d i f f e r i n g l e a r n i n g r a t e s :
1) You m a y be a slow a n d inefficient r e a d e r . (This c a n be c h a n g e d . )
2) You m a y s p e n d a c o n s i d e r a b l e p e r c e n t a g e of your study t i m e in day- d r e a m i n g (or w o r r y i n g ? ) . I t ' s not possible to do both well a t the s a m e t i m e . If y o u r a t t e n t i o n w a n d e r s w h i l e studying, close t h e t e x t a n d allot 5 or 10 m i n u t e s to y o u r d a y d r e a m - t h e n r e t u r n to the s t u d y i n g until the next m i n d w a n d e r i n g o c c u r s a n d r e p e a t . I t ' s i m p o r t a n t to be s t r i c t with yourself a b o u t t h e d r e a m i n g t i m e a l l o t m e n t - you could use it simply a s an e s c a p e .
3) You a n d y o u r r o o m m a t e m a y h a v e d i f f e r i n g d e g r e e s of motivation to l e a r n t h e m a t e r i a l .
4) You m a y n e v e r h a v e l e a r n e d how to study. Skills such a s previewing, ques- tioning, r e v i e w i n g , etc. c a n be l e a r n e d a n d have b e e n proven e f f e c t i v e . Check with t h e P e e r C o u n s e l i n g P r o g r a m or t a l k t o a counselor.
