Night life causes problems for older residents

Neighbors Try to Get a Handle on Student Partying

Tani Pozirekides

Contributing Writer House parties are far from uncommon for residents living off campus especially on Bellomy, Lafayette and Alvisos streets. While these night life activities are tolerated by most student residents, for many older residents this can mean dealing with inebriated students, excessive noise, alcohol consumption and even police action. Santa Clara has been working with the Neighborhood University Relations Committee in which ASG representatives met with Sergeant Jerry Rodriguez, property owners, and residents of the area around the university to resolve issues and keep a forum open for communication between everyone in the area. Despite the measures taken by the committee there are many complaints made by neighbors throughout the school year, with the number of complaints varying based on what time of the year it is. “Complaints are a little higher, it varies by time of year,” said Kim Gilkey, the Assistant Dean for offcampus student life. “There are more complaints typically at the beginning of fall quarter, the beginning of every quarter and the end of spring quarter.” Contact Tani Pozirekides at Apozirekides@scu.edu.

Ad Reps on Campus School Upholds Catholic Values Students hired to promote company products Joseph Forte

Contributing Writer Campus representatives, a special breed of marketing agents at work at Santa Clara and other colleges across the country, have become a powerful mechanism for companies to discretely promote their products across college campuses. Campus reps are college students employed by a company to promote their product or service on a college campus. One Blackberry rep working at Santa Clara

described the job as “every college student’s dream. (I get to) throw promotional events with funds allocated by the company.” At these social events “the brand is obviously present and promoted, but the object is to create a fun environment for the participants to enjoy,” a rep, who chose to stay anonymous, said. “If they enjoy their time at the event, they will think more highly of the brand.” But a college rep’s duties don’t begin and end with the parties. Students are hired for a variety of purposes, including consumer education, community outreach and even conspicuous use of the product. Another Santa Clara rep See MARKETING, Page 3
