(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 continued on page 3

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..

1y.

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."

cg Clarkson freshman Mike Graham gets help from Jackie Hammersla of Student Orientation in becoming one of the 'first freshmen ever required 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 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?

Martin R. Albright

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 . 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.

Respectfully, Izadore Mirr

Yes, we have a 01inihank Dear Editor, Finally a Transaction Minibank on campus. I can't tell you how pleased I was to hear the news. I even have that type of card! I 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".

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

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 A>

{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.

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.''

"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.

Co-op Ed solv~s Catch-22 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 any problems that occur. After the first year we placed over 350 students and semester we update the forms and have about 1000 enrolled in the pro- visits as needed. Academic credit forms are filled out for each semester." gram at any given time."

"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."

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.

"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."

"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.

"We're here for the students and the alumni too," Hughes said. " We represent all three schools and we'll help1 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.

Taking a look · inside yourself

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.

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 Prog 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.

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,

Chapter One asks the basic questions: • -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 applicant should possess several major attributes inc Iu ding enthusiasm , confiden c 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 person.

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.
