Maine South to host College Fair ByToddPytel As some Maine South students look towards their graduation, they may also begin to plan ahead. But with the bewildering number ofcolleges looking for their applications, how do they know which one is right. Students have to consider a school's size, sports or extracurricular activities, location, and campus life in addition to its academic reputation. The annual District 207 College Fair, held this year at Maine South, may help you find the school that is right for you. Though primarily for juniors and seniors, the fair is open to students of all years. The fair, to be held on Tuesday, September 21 from 7:00-9:00 P.M., will host representatives from 225 colleges and universities across the country. As in years past, each college will set up a booth in the spectator gym, cafeteria, or classroom where the prospective student can receive orochures and ask questions about colleges of 'their choice. The colleges attending the fair this year span the full range of schools from liberal arts to technical or vocational schools, from four year universities to two junior colleges. Ivy League schools will have booths as well as popular midwest schools, such as the University of Illinois, Notre Dame, and Northwestern. Information such as admission require-

Student Council announces plans By Joseph P. Steinfels The Maine South Student Council is currently working on the final preparations for the 1993 Homecoming Celebrations. Homecoming Chairperson Nicole Berg is locating the convertibles needed for the annual parade, investigating possibilities for the Friday Night Street Dance, arranging Homecoming Queen elections, and making arrangements for the dance itself. While Nicole and her commitee are working on the 1993 Homecoming preparations. Student Rights Commitee Chairperson Chuck Kaufman is .awaiting student issues, requests, and problems as he prepares for this year's first meeting with Asst. Principal Mr. Adamo. At the meeting, Kaufman will question Mr. Adamo about current school policies, possible solu-

tions for student problems, and will suggest solutions to problems facing students and staff alike. Assembly Chairperson Joe Dietlin is currently deciding on a guest speaker for the Homecoming Assembly. He is making contacts with former Maine South students as well as local celebrities. One major problem Student Council has been having this year concerns the schedules of many Council members. In past years, the Student Council Upper House has met Monday mornings in the Student Council office while Full Council has met on Wednesday and Friday mornings in the cafeteria. All meetings began at 7:35 A.M. Traditionally, an effort had been made to excuse Student Council members from morning flap classes in order for the meetings to be attended by all.

However, this year, over 25% of all Student Council members have been affected by early morning flap class scheduling including several commitee chairmen who serve on the Upper House. This has forced rescheduling of Student Council meeting times to 7:15 Monday mornings for the Upper House with Full Council Wednesday and Friday meetings to be held in C-101. Hopefully this problem will be resolved before more time elapses. However, the Student Council is prepared to respond to any student affairs or problems. Student Council would like to remind you that you can voice your problems or suggestions through Senior Chairperson Chuck Kaufman or through Student Council President Joseph P. Steinfels.
