Schor paints grim labor picture at 1994 Hull Memorial Lecture

by Brian Parker Features Editor On Tuesday, November 15, Dr. Juliet B. Schor gave the Hull Memorial Lec­ ture “Overworked Americans: Reflec­ tions on Time, Work and Money” to a nearly full Kinnicutt Hall. Schor is Senior Lecturer on Economics and Di­ rector o f the W omen’s Studies Program at H arvard University and has published a book. The Overworked American, which has received much attention throughout the country.

The talk was well attended, as many members of the faculty, a group which is always under pressure to be more pro­ ductive, came to hear about this social problem which affects all of our lives.

Schor mentioned that after World W ar II, many Americans felt that as produc­ tivity increased, the amount o f time on the jo b might be reduced.

“Imagine, a work week cut in half, to

roughly twenty hours. Or, a year in which you worked six months and then had six months vacation.” These things, like the four day work week which was felt to be “just around the com er” in the 70’s, have not been realized. Schor pointed out that although productivity has tripled in the last fifty years, we have put the results into making more, instead of taking the time for ourselves.

In fact, the average family is spending more time working as women are taking their place in the job market. But as more women are working, the average hours men work has not declined.

Over the past thirty years, an extra 160 hours o f work has been added to the average person’s year— leading to an “extra month” o f work for everyone. In that time, paid time o ff has also shrunk by 15% and yet unemployment has grown and parents feel like they have less time to spend with their children.

In fact, even a phrase such as “spend­

ing time” is a relatively new idea, think o f the negative impact “passing time” seems to have. We truly live in a market economy, living in a cycle which Schor has called “work and spend.” People work to earn the money to buy the latest luxury (which becomes a “necessity”) and then have to work more. To do this, people forego such things as community service, family times and sleep. “Sleep researchers have shown that if you need an alarm clock to wake up in the morn­ ing, you probably aren’t getting enough sleep.”

It seems like the obvious blame for all this should go to the em ployers o f America. Instead of hiring more people to cover for the overtime hours everyone works, they force people to work long shifts. Those who decide not to take on this additional burden on their time are penalized by not receiving promotions.

Employees are also to blame, for they often do not request more time away

CDC kicks off summer job search

by Brian Parker Features Editor O n W ednesday, N ovem ber 16, the CDC held a m eeting for those stu ­ dents interested in finding a jo b next sum m er. By the tim e the m eeting started , P erreault H all had filled; Brad G roves prom ised to keep it short as he announced “the reason why we brought you here is that by next A pril, you w ill have m issed the o p p o rtu ­ nity to use the C D C .”

T he first goal for interested stu ­ dents is to decide w hat you w ant to gain from a sum m er w ork e x p eri­ ence. W hether it is to explore career o ptions, m ake m oney o r ju st to be in a p articu lar part o f the country, ev ­ e ry th in g should be co n sid ered at som e point.

T h e n ex t step is to talk w ith a lu m n i, p ro fesso rs and the F.B .I. (friends, brothers and in-law s) as well as c o n su ltin g the directo ries in the C D C an d the library and o ther p ro ­ fessional jo u rn als. It is good to know a p ersp ectiv e co m p an y ’s history o f hirin g sum m er w orkers, as well as the c u rren t industrial trends and w hat the com pany produces. T his gives

you an id ea o f w hat type o f jo b you m ight find as well as giving the c o m ­ pany a g o o d im pression.

T he C D C is w illing to help with w riting a resum e; there are several books available in the office (T hird flo o r, B o y n to n H a ll) a n d a f te r T h anksgiving they will personally review resum es upon request. Be sure to include not o nly exp erien ces, but what you have gain ed from them as w ell. A resum e should also be geared tow ards the position you want, e m p h asizin g your m ost im portant skills and achievem ents.

Som e finer points included using “-ed” verbs (perform ed vs. p erfo rm ­ ing), spelling out m onths and years when po ssib le, in clu d in g an e-m ail address and laser p rin tin g the final docum ent. Use the sam e pap er for envelopes, references and the resum e and c o v e r letter. Be sure to have three references, in clu d in g a balance o f teac h ers and su p erv iso rs and be sure that yo u r references know they might be contacted.

from the job, especially in a society in which many people are defined by what they “do for a living.” Unions, which today have much less power than in the past, abandoned the issue o f more time off as productivity increased in the 50’s.

So what does this do for the conven­ tional wisdom that “the market system has delivered us from toil?” It is defi­ nitely true that we live in bigger houses and have more appliances and access to services, but in general, people feel poor.

It is widely believed (and for perhaps the first time in our country’s history) that coming generations will not do as well as their parents and grandparents. This would seem to be tied into a sense o f well-being and not material wealth.

Instead, it is due to a lack o f other important things in our lives. The time for family, self and community which has been ignored so that we all can go out and earn more money, would be a good place to start if one were looking for a chance to renew the sense that life is fulfilling.

Schor pointed out that any changes in the time people work w ould need to be not only in public policy, but in individual attitudes as well. U ntil very recently, work was fairly evenly d i­ vided among paid and unpaid work (m eaning parenting, caring for the eld­ erly and com m unity service), but now

‘the m arket sector is cannibalizing the non-m arket sector.” T aking time and trying to reproduce the volunteer work o f old with paid positions. One com ­ pany which hired a concierge to ar­ range buying gifts and concert tickets, put em ployees in the position where they felt they must take advantage of such a service. A program which was begun to save w orker’s time, ended up m aking the workers feel like they had to use a service to spend more time on the job.

It is also somewhat irresponsible to allow so many people to be unemployed at a time when there seems to be too much work for the people who have jobs. Schor sees this as a growing prob­ lem, which might be dealt with now in order to avoid its worsening. There also is a tremendous environmental impact o f the current “work and spend” system, which seems to foster a relationship between economic growth and environ­ mental degradation.

In the end, Schor stated: “I that she about these issues because I think they are important, I do not see any changes as imminent in any way.” Instead, she is concerned with “peoples’ weakening ability to protect their own time” and that “these questions have to be raised, because once you ask them, the answers are pretty clear.”

CLUB CORNER want to join, that is). For those o f you that are interested...sign up!!! Another point o f possible interest is the opportunity to own an official, oncein-a-lifetime, authentic CSA Sports T-shirt...they should be coming out soon after the Thanksgiving break (so get your money ready).

The “ Night of the Dragons” dinner was AWE­ SOM E! Hopefully everyone that went had a good time; and thanks to everyone who helped provide the entertainment for the evening. Thanks to all of you w ho helped in any w ay...set-up...clean­ up...ticket sales...spiritually...I don’t know...thank youtoeveryone.... Long live the Dragon! Well...as soon as it finds a new body.

Have a nice Thanksgiving break y’all. One last thing to remember...if all else fails, trust the CSA gods. If that last sentence does not make any sense what-so-ever...be thankful...that means you might actually not be crazy.

Take care...and if you happen to sneeze...Bless you!

AIChE A big thanks go out to the department, the companies, and everyone else who sponsored our trip out to the national conference in San Fran­ cisco. W e had a great time and learned several ways to make our chapter a better more produc­ tive group. Thanks also to Professors Clark and Dixon for their entertaining dinner conversation and patience in waiting. Just kidding Deb. Al­ though the career fair was a disappointment, we attended several seminars which will be helpful.

Oh, and have you listened to any country music lately Scott? At least we met a lot of people from other schools and saw a lot o f interesting sights.

Guppy night was a big success. The tour of Polaroid was great and the dinner was excellent.

For those o f you who missed it, try to make it to the next event. W e have a great time and it’s a good way to meet your fellow chem engs. We have many more exciting things planned for the end of the term. Check your email frequently for a listing of things which we have planned. We will be having a Christmas party which should be a blast.

Hope you can make it to the remaining events this term. See you there.

Christian Bible Fellowship Thanksgiving is here, YIPPEE! I pray that as we all head home, or simply take time to relax, that we would really look at the way that God is working in our lives. There is so much to be thankful for. May God bless you with a thankful heart, and may the beginning o f this holiday season bring glory to Him. As we all head in different directions, either tonight or whenever, I would just like to leave you with some food for thought. I would like to encourage you in your walks with the Lord. “For the eyes o f the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose heart are fully committed to H im " (2 Chronicles 16:9 NIV) As you draw closer to Jesus Christ, may He place a desire in your hearts to reveal His work in you to those who are around you. Iju st recently came across a quote that I want to leave with you as you return to cam pus next week. “It takes more to plow a field than m erely turning it over in your mind.” Do you see Jesus working in a new and incredible way here on campus, but don’t see Him using you?

Don’t lose heart. “The Lord has assigned to each his task..” (1 Corinthians 3:5 NIV) and “we are G od’s fellow workers.” (1 Corinthians 3:9 NIV) I would like to leave this challenge with you: Are you stepping out with God to share with others what Jesus Christ has done for you?

Alpha Phi Omega First o f all, a big thanks goes out to everyone who helped rake leaves on Saturday. W ho would have guessed that yard work could be so fun, or that it could entice an alumnus back to help! For those of you who missed Carol, she says hi, oh, and she wants everyone to donate platelets. 1hope everyone had fun at lasagna night, too.

We have many upcoming events. On Monday, November 28, we will be having APO pictures taken in the lower wedge from 1:30-3:00pm. The pledge fellowship project, a scavenger hunt party, is scheduled for Tuesday evening, the 29th. The pledge service project is planned for Saturday, December 3. Soon, we will no longer have any pledges, but w e’ll have a bunch of new brothers!

Keep up the good work everyone.

Chinese Student Association Hi All! Here comes yet another stimulating article brought to you by all of us who have nothing else to do... Research has shown that our President (Eric, in case you didn’t know, or Erica, as he may be known as to some o f you) is a Zebra according to the Chinese Zodiac. As far as we can tell...he’s the only one, so maybe that’s why he’s our Prez (dunno for sure though).

Well...that was totally meaningless...so on to bigger and better things...hmm...Sports Report time. With the information on hand, it is deter­ mined that our IM Basketball team is dunkin’ points onto the scoreboard (and making our oppo­ nents swallow them), our Bowling team is strik­ ing out our opponents, and the Table Tennis players are playing as well as they can (and giving our opponents a good paddling when they get the chance). How’s that for being specific? Good luck to all the teams on the rest o f their games. Ra Ra Ra...GO CSA!!! ALL YA PEOPLE WITH OR W ITHOUT STUFF TO DO . COM E JOIN US TO CHEER YOUR IM TEAMS ON! Ok, as you all should know, on December 3rd o f this year (being the last m onth o f this year...hopefully)...a Saturday...being the day af­ ter Friday (and also the day before Sunday)...there will be a VOLLEYBALL Toumey that involves all the international organizations (well, all that

Hillel Hello again.

This is three weeks in a row that, I Jonathan “ Bio-God Man” Geller, your stupendous senior advisor, has put this silly club com er in the paper.

This past week held up with our normal amount of Hillel activities, not very many. Though, once again, the Rabbi cam e Tuesday night at 8:30pm in the CRC, as he will do again after the Thanksgiv­ ing break, and spoke to Zack “Snap-CracklePop” Sacks and Karl “Meuslix” Dicker about something Zack wanted totalkabout... Hannukah, I think it was.

Speaking of Hannukah, you will all soon be getting more info with which you must RSVP so I d o n ’t run o ut o f latkes. Vinnie “Froot Loop” W allace w ill get very upset since he told me he really liked them last year. It is going to be a short com er this week since all there is left for m e to do is wish you and your family a happy and very tasty Thanksgiving. Until next week. -Jonathan

Lens and Lights Well, since so many people *itched and com ­ plained, h ere is this week’s club comer. There.

Happy now ? Not that anyone in LnL is reading this, or anything, so why should I put stuff about us in the c lu b comer anyways? I guess you can please som e people some o f the time, but you can’t please everyone all of the time.

There w ill be no meeting tom orrow at 4:30 in AK 232, since none o f us will be here. So, happy turkey day!

It’s alm ost time for the budget process to begin, som ething the execs will have to teach you all about (Joy!) in the com ing weeks. Start thinking o f stuff to put on our “wish list” before Christmas. If there is a Santa, let’s hope he shops at Theatrix!

I got a letter today from Theo, who said, "like the WWW thing... cool looking...” What he is talking about is the Lens and Lights Home Page, which I w rote over the summer. If you are a “w ebsurfer,”checkitout: http://w ww .wpi.edu/ ~lnl Feel free to link to it from your own home pages!

I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving.

If you w ould like to contribute to the club comer, please email your com m ents and stuff to trek@wpi. It’s almost time for me to stop writing th is thing every week (when I rem em ­ ber, that is... David has stopped rem inding me, so blame it on him - HA!) (Psst... the next meeting w ill be NEXT W ednesday, November 3 0 at4 :3 0 in A K 232.

Hi everyone... just in case you didn’t know about this, about a month ago we started up a Thai Club. Y es. that’s right, a Thai Club that is not restricted to people of Thai heritage, but one that is open to everyone and anyone who is interested in joining. Ifyou are bored or need a break from all of that studying, the Thai club is the way to go.

Anyway, the club has planned many fun filled activities and outings for the entire first semester.

Just an example o f what I'm talking about is the Thai dinner that was held last week Thursday at Thai Cha D a restaurant on Park Avenue. It was an all-you-can-eat sort of thing. Last week Satur­ day we g o t a volleyball game going on at Clark

University’s gym and some time next week w e’re going to be having a volleyball tournament against the various international clubs on campus. These are just a few of the benefits and privileges o f joining Mai Thai (the Thai club). Oh yeah.... join now so that you’ll be in time to benefit from another dinner that will be held on December 1.

Mai Thai club officers: president, Oliver Poupart (oily @ wpi), vice-president, Rajesh Si vasriumphai (rajesh@ w pi), secretary, R ajesh N andw ani (raja@ wpi), and treasurer, Takehiro Kawano (takehiro@wpi).

Newman Club Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Sunday was our officer’s retreat and it was a great time. Tons o f good ideas were discussed in order to plan a campus retreat. It’s tentatively scheduled for Cterm. Let me know if there is anything special you want included or if you’d like to participate.

As for the next few weeks: if anyone is going to be here on Sunday after Thanksgiving, let Father know so he can arrange a mass. For those o f you not going to see LIVE on December 2 (like me because I didn’t have two days to spend in line), we will be having a movie night at the Center. Stop by; there might even be dinner, ya never know. That Sunday we will present our ideas for a discussion group for the second semes­ ter. Feel free to contribute! Have a nice and safe (don’t hit any minks) long weekend.

Society of Martial Arts “The Society O f Martial Arts has a new in­ structor, Bernard “Daddy” Ongewe who will be teaching self defense kickboxing about once a week. The lessons will mostly incorporate tech­ niques from Muay thai, JKA Shotokan and Jeet kune do, and are arranged such that fighters from any style can adapt them to their system; no previous martial arts experience is, however, as­ sum ed or required. The rationale behind the system’s philosophy is that it takes more than moves to win a fight. Kickboxing champions, for instance, come from a wide variety o f styles; “Amp” Elmore (Shotokan), Don Wilson (Wing Chun Fist), Jerry Trimble (Tae kwon do), etc took techniques from their respective styles and made them work for them. I aim to help my students achieve the same by putting them through a training regime that I feel has made me a better fighter. Ultimately, I would like to see my stu­ dents open their minds to other systems and leam how to adapt techniques to theirs. This, because I believe that a champion is the one who has most learned how to leam. What I would most like to emphasize is that what I teach is NOT a “style” ; there are no forms o r hard-fast rules about how exactly to deliver techniques. One can thus attend these sessions while remaining loyal to one’s system. What I teach are principles that have been distilled from hard-hitting ring wars fought barefist and actual self-defense situations. Garnering this experience has lost me blood and left me with reduced vision in my left eye. I offer it at a much lower cost.”

Student Alumni Society Well folks, she did it. Lisa actually left us for her true love, the great American outdoors. She will be missed by us all, especially the seniors who have had to put up with Lisa’s torture, right Brett and Jeremy? Seriously though, Lisa will be missed by all of us however she has promised to keep in touch. We wish her all the best.

Thanks to all those who showed up to Lisa’s last meeting on Friday. T heagendaforT radition's Day (April 12, 1995) looks great! It is now time lo focus on survival kits and putting together the actual details of Tradition’s Day. Also keep in mind the idea of a WPI winter carnival and the district conference coming up in April.

That is all for this week. Enjoy your Thanks­ giving break and see you all again in December.

Bye now.

AXA Well here it is you've all been looking forward to it for a week after last weeks fabulous comer.

Well P ve got news for you, “D on’t get your hopes up” Friday night was spaghetti night at the house - hope everybody enjoyed it. And I’m sure we did unless Jay tried to cook. I think the only fan of Jay’s spaghetti is in Alabama right now! There have been unconfirmed reports of unusual weather in the general vicinity o f Elbridge St. in addition

©X B W G W N B ...I’m w arning you ahead o f tim e that this is going to be a short one. To begin, a few predictions for the B arnyard Bash (w hich w ill have already occurred): M ic takes his hat o ff and som eone shears his head m istaking him for a sheep; Lucas, upset because there a re n ’t any real farm anim als as advertised, snaps and w restles Burt and G usek into subm ission; T rent, M oeller, and AIBel claim that they can see purple cow s hiding under the hay; A ndretta, W oody, and D am brie refuse to jo in the party u n til all w om en have left; finally, G uisti returns in his cow co s­ tum e and is prom ptly esco rted to the door.

You know I’d think w riting this thing w ould get easier as tim e went on. In sports recently: A -team basketball trium phed in their first gam e that anyone bothered to show up, led by the o u tstanding play o f (le ts see how corny I can get) A dam “nothing I shoot is” G ross, and A ndy “gim m e the ball so I can shoot her” P luta (pretty bad huh). I w ould like to take a second now to not slanderize anyone else on this cam pus, o r respond to slanders directed at my house. W ith that said , I really gotta get som e sleep, “C heck You L ater!”

COMMENTARY

Philler Seagulls and Parking Lots - Do you really have to take this? by iMurel and Guinevere Hello, hello, hello. We're back again.

G ee, so are you. Curious thing, this new spaper idea. D o We really have anything "new" to talk about? Some­ tim es 1 doubt it, but then again, if any­ one else comes up with some o f this silly stuff We'd be really worried.

O ur first little tidbit, thingy,... what­ ever, is from Ellis H. Bougiouris, and, uh. We'll just let you see for yourself.

A nd for the editors o f Newspeak, re­ member, We didn't write this. We'd never make fun o f O ur beloved hosttype-thing Newspeak.

want we've been here for 3+ years.

Gee, We're really grateful for the plug, but why the heck are We only number seven? Maybe, just maybe, you won't get a certificate. At least not until you fix your grievous error...

Well, this week We received mail from the Presidential Search Committee, well, not addressed to Philler, everyone got one, but you know what W e mean... W e've been asked to send in Our "comments, suggestions, and nominations" but instead o f sending them to the Search Com m ittee and keeping From the home office in Founders 307, the Top Ten Potential Names For them confidential, We're going to tell EVERYONE!!! M ouhaha...

And he's been here forever so he prob­ 10) Weekly Who Cares ably knows more about this school than 9) A Bunch of Full Page Ads For any one person com bined... Can the Free president also be an RA? W ould that 8) Police Log and Stuff be favoritism? Ah, who cares... Cory's 7) Philler Page 6, Nuff Said 6) Career Opportunities - Fishing the best choice.

NEWS F L A SH ! Ladies and Gentle­ men, boys and girls, Frat brothers o f all ages. Freem an Plaza has been com ­ pleted. No, really. We're not kidding.

It's done. It looks pretty cool, despite it's oddities. It was worth the wait.

Now we have som ething that looks quite nice, albeit a little sandy, right in the middle o f campus. W e've heard some disturbing things about the trees, but hey, you can't do everything right.

One question, or maybe two. What happened to the fountain idea?

Could it be that they could not find an artist

s k ille d enough to im mortalize in stone our likeness? W e really thought that a Philler fountain would heighten the aesthetic grandeur o f the Plaza. Actu­ ally, you could probably still put it up on the big ole block of stone. Hmmm, maybe they are going to do that for a [winter holiday o f your choice here] present... Awww, would that be nice of them... [sigh] Lately we've been hearing some dis­ turbing rum ors that some of O ur read­ ers don't believe that We exist. Aside from the illogical nature o f such a thought, since We obviously DO exist, otherwise you wouldn't be able to read O ur articles, W e consider it blasphemy.

Blasphemy! Do you hear me?! (We've always wanted to use the word blas­ phemy in an article, and now W e did.

Doesn't it sound cool? We think so.)

Anyway, the rum ors are undoubtedly false. W e do exist, like it o r not. We dem and that We may or may not be using O ur real names. Oh, sure, some o f you computer whizzes (read geeks) have already tried to find O ur names somewhere on the system. Unlike some previous "anonymous" article writers, W e don’t use O ur login names (ala Joger). Foolish people. Do you think that W e would be so dum b as to be cau g h t by The System ?

Maybe Our real names are Laurel and G uinevere, but W e use false ones for all o f O ur legal documents.

Life is funny that way, isn't it?

Did you ever wonder what God looks like? D oes He have a long, O white beard? D oes He have a deep, boom ing voice? Is He surrounded by an incredibly bright light? Does She w ear flats or pumps? W ell, W e've been thinking. There is so much specu­ lation about what W e really look like, if We're really girls (the nerve!), and other such silly bits. You'll never know what God looks like until you die, if you're good, that is, but you may know what We look like right now. M aybe you don't know Us, but you've got a picture in your head. W e’d like to give you the opportunity to express your creative mind, and draw, sketch, render, or finger-paint Us in the Classical style of your choice. The winner may or may not be submitted to the sculpter for permanent casting in stone for Free­ man Plaza. You'd even get your name

carved on the statue's base... Cool, huh?

NOTE: This artistic opportunity does not apply to anyone who really knows w ho W e are. Well, if you really want to, you may, but We probably won't give O ur identities away just yet.

Maybe never. Yeah, We just might fail all O ur classes on purpose just so that We can be here forever. W ouldn't you ju st love that? W e know D A K A would...

Image this: you sending Us some neat-o stuff. Do it. Y ou know you want to.

Ju st e m a il Us at new speak@ w pi.edu. Send your ideas o f what W e look like to Newspeak, Box 2700, unless your mural or statue can­ not fit into the little box, then ju st drop it o ff at Newspeak's office in the base­ ment o f Riley hall. All entries are not guaranteed publication. In fact, if they're not flattering, then We won't print them at all... unless they are ex ­ ceptionally funny, o f course.

Oh, by the w ay, check o u t O ur neat little addition. T hanks loN ew s­ peak for putting U s on the W orld W ide W eb. Y ou can c h e c k o u t all o f O ur previous issu es, or at least you w ill be able to soon. Now you can read P h iller anyw here you can log in. O ur guess is th a t it w ill take at least an o th er w eek before W e have an im m ense follow ing in S outhern C hile. Im agine that...

Hey, m aybe Weshould run for Presi­ dent o f the Institute... We wouldn't become corrupt. Us? Never. (G ee, do you think that the Career Development Center would help U s to realize our career goals?)

What, me exercise!?

by Christine von Ulrich, M S Fitness Coordinator, Healthy Alternatives Dept.

W hy d o we ex ercise? T w o o f the m ost com m on answ ers 1 h e a r is to look attractiv e to o th ers, and to lose w eight. H ow ever, there are o th e r reasons to exercise and I w ould like to em phasize that o n e o f the m ost im portant reasons to exercise is to increase o r m aintain your card io v ascu lar fitness (fitn ess o f heart and lu n g s) w hich con trib u tes to p rev en tin g disease. S tudies h av e shown that the e a rlie r one d ev elo p s a pattern o f staying p hysically active (m eaning, d o in g som ething as little as w alking, or as m uch as v igorously run n in g ) the m ore inclined o n e is to keep d o in g that for the rest o f o n e’s life. Interestingly en o u g h , the co rrelatio n betw een being active in sports and phy sically activ e after school is very low. In o th er w ords, many stu d e n ts w ho presently play football, soccer, fie ld hock ey , or w restle, for exam ple, w ill hardly be active after the season an d /o r after th ey g rad u ate because they are presently e x ercisin g only because they are train in g fo r a sport. So the m ore we know ab o u t m aintaining or in c re a s­ ing o u r ca rd io v a sc u la r fitn e ss, the b etter eq u ip p ed we are in developing an ex ercise habit that is both healthy for our b o d ies today and u sefu l in preventing c ard io v ascu lar d is ­ ease in the future.

C ard io v ascu lar fitness is ben efited by d o ­ ing aerobic ex ercise. W hat d o e s “a e ro b ic ” m ean? It sim ply m eans that the body is g e ttin g en erg y fro m m e ta b o lic p a th w ay s w hich use o x ygen to function. T he term “a e ro b ic ” w as o riginally d ev elo p ed by scien ­ tists such as L ouis Pasteur who studied g ly ­ colysis in yeast a n d other u n ic ellu la r o rg an ­ ism s in test tubes. T ypes o f activ ities that are aerobic are any activities that use large m uscle groups (i.e. sw im m ing, rowing, ro llerb lad in g , w alk in g , cross-country skiing, etc.). The g u id elin es set by the A m erican C ollege of Sports M edicine (after com bining y ears of research from d ifferen t areas) fo r exercisin g aero b ically include duration, in ten sity , fre­ q u en cy , and progression.

T h e d u ratio n o f exercise re fe rs to the

am o u n t o f m inutes o f aerobic ex ercise w ithin the “ target heart rate zone.” T h e general reco m m en d atio n is betw een 15-60 m inutes ex ercise d e p en d in g on o n e ’s startin g fitness le v e l. To exercise w ith in o n e’s target heart rate zone m eans to exercise an y w h ere b e­ tw een 60% to 85% o f o n e ’s m axim al heart ra te , and o n e ’s m axim al heart rate is either d eterm in ed by doing an exercise tolerance te s t on a bike or tread m ill, or estim ated by su b tractin g o n e ’s age from 220. T he exercise frequency is gen erally recom m ended as 3 to 5 d ay s per w eek. F in ally , the rate o f p ro g res­ s io n is b ro k en dow n into three stag es where th e initial stage m ay last betw een 4 -6 w eeks (d ep en d in g on the rate o f a d ap tatio n o f a p articip an t to a program ), the conditio n in g stag e usually lasts for 4-5 m onths, and the m ain ten an ce stage u sually b e g in s after 6 m onths o f exercisin g on a reg u lar basis.

Declaring a major in December: What am I going to do?

by Francesca Escoto Major Selection Program Peer Advisor If you don’t know what to do about your major, don’t w orry, you are not the only one who feels disoriented or confused.

Declaring a major is probably one o f the hardest decisions anyone has to make while in college. Alm ost every college student changes majors once (o r more) during their four years in high school.

So, the question is: What can I do? Well, the M ajor Selection Program offers students like you the necessary resources to help you choose the right m ajor. We have a library full of information o n job opportunities for different fields, the kind of career that matches your

personality and much more. Also, we set up visits to com panies in the area to provide you with some real life experience on what each major offers after graduation. We also offer the Purdue Interest Questionnaire which provides information on how your aptitudes and skills link up to a range o f science and engineering majors. The Peer Advisors supply you with additional support by developing a m entor rela­ tionship which can be o f invaluable assistance in your decision making process.

W e are here for you. Please take advantage of our services. Com e to the M SP office located on the 3rd floor o f Boynton Hall (Career D evelop­ ment Center) or call ext. 5012. We will be glad to help you make one o f the most important decisions of your life.

A view from above

by Brian Carmody Class o f ‘95 Do you know what the Earth looks like from th e s e a to fa U H -1 helicopter? N o? Then ask an Army ROTC cadet. Army cadets were training at Ft. Devens from late afternoon on Friday, November 4th until Sunday afternoon, N ovem ­ ber 6th.

After w atching an A ir Assault dem onstra­ tion, where tw o Army ROTC cadre rappelled from 100 feet in the air, out o f a UH-1 wearing Swiss seats, an d two others rappelled A ustralian style, the anxious and aw e-inspired cadets piled into their assigned choppers and flew in a thirty minute ride thorough the sky. Imagine yourself strapped into safety by your seat belt, chopper doors open fo r maximum view of the tree tops below. For thirty minutes you sail, hover, and twist through the forbidden playground o f the birds; a roller-coaster ride w ithout the endless

lines and astronomical ticket prices. In fact, many cadets are paid a $ 150 stipend each month, in addition to $225 each semester to pay for books, and annual scholarships worth either $5,000, $8,000, or $12,000.

Cadet teams also raced through a timed ob­ stacle course to determine who w ould receive first place awards in a formal cerem ony held on Saturday night. Some o f the obstacles cadets successfully negotiated included the seven foot wall, log hurdles, three and tw o-rope bridges, and a twenty five foot wall o f netting. The teams crossed the finish line more than twenty minutes after they started. As the cadets wiped sweat from their faces, quenched their thirst with the water jugs on site, and quickly regained control of their breathing, many wore grins that spanned the width o f their jaw s. The team w ork and unifying spirit the cadets shared together on the course filled a bag of memories that they will enjoy carrying for the rest of their lives.
