In July of 1983, there will bemajor changes in the Student LifeOffice at RWC as key members ofthe Student Life office will leavethe staff.

"I think the organization of theStudent Life Office and theconsistency of its policies will bemaintained," Capozzacomments. "My main focus willbe on doing some creativeprogramming for the residentialstudents and staff."
Dean of Students, KarenHaskell, explains:"Traditionally, the Student Lifeoffice is one where individualsbecome involved with thedepartment for several years andthen move on. These threeindividuals have been with us forseveral years and have done a
p.rn . However, there is still somedoubt as to if the Building will beready by then. If this happens, theneverything will be shifted to theCafeteria. This causes some concern with the Care ers Office. "Wewould have to bump at least one ortwo guest speakers," says Katzanek, due mostly to the spacerestrictions of the Cafeteria whichwould still have to serve three mealsthat day .
Because the Spotlight runs allthrough the morning and afternoon, and because the sponsorsfeel it to be a very important program, they are not only urgingstudents to participate, but theyhave sent a memo to all facultymembers asking that all of theirstudents be encouraged to go to allof the workshops that day.
When asked if she thought thatthere would be more recruiting nextyear, Ms. Katzanek replied, "Absolutely" , but added that the"Spotlight on Careers this yearshould really help the students."
students. " Last yea r we wereable to meet the needs of about 1out of 4 students who applied.This policy should help us extendaid to more students because wewill ha ve more funds to workwith .• " The student who was hurt lastyear was the student with a needfor only $800, in comparison toone with a $3,000 need becausethe student with a smaller needwas at the bottom of the list.Again, with this policy, we'll beable to extend aid to a greaternumber of students. "
The policy will begrandfathered so that studentswho are presently employed bythe college, but who are noteligible fill .a aid w.il:l beallowed to continue to work untithey graduate.
Iydifficult to do so. Because of thedeclining job market, Katzaneksaid that she had to send out 250invitations last year and receivedonl y about 50 responses. She saidshe knew she would have to sentout twice as many requests to getone-half the response, so this yearher office is trying a new slant.
In two separate programs, one inthe morning and one in the afternoon , twenty-four speakers fromvarious businesses and industrieswill give short lectures on subjectsranging from "What an Interviewer Looks For" to "InvestmentDressing", a brief fashion show forjob applicants. Other forums include, "Foreign Students andWork," "The Systematic JobSearch," and "CommunicationsSkills, " as well as many an arrayof talks dealing with some of thespecific divisions of the college.
The Spotlight on Careers isscheduled to take place for the veryfirst time in the new RecreationBuilding at 9:45 a.m. until 3:00

At a meeting held for thebenefit of those concerned aboutthe policy RWC ControllerRichard Szrom explained,"Nobody would be working forless or more money. In order tobe hired as an RA you would haveto have a financial need equal tothe amount the job pays."
In response to the Senate'sconcern about the number ofpeople the policy would affect,Dean of Admissions andFinancial Aid Robert Nemecexplained that approximately 60percent of the students at RWCwould be eligible for an RAposition.

On April 13, shortly after thespring break , the Career ServicesOffice will once again sponsor theirCareer Fair, this year " Spotlight onCareers." This all-day series ofprograms, co-sponsored by theBusiness Club and the Cultural Affairs Committee, is designed tohelp RWC students in understanding their possibilities after graduation. According to Fran Katzanek,Director of Career Services, theemphasis will be on helpinggraduates understand the hiringprocesses used by many, if not all,of the hundreds of companies thattheir peers will be applying to forjobs.
"There has been a major changein the program", says Fran. Inprevious years, the Office has hadrepresentatives from several companies and corporations visit thecollege for the sole purpose ofrecruiting graduates for work immediately after graduation.However, it has become increasing-
After a twohour senate debatewhich concentrated heavily onthe status of ResidentialAssistants, the Student Senatepassed a motion against thecollege's policy that studentsmust show financial need in orderto be employees of the college.
Much of that debate centeredaround the concern that thequality of the RA program couldbe effected by the policy. "Ifthere are two equally qualifiedpeople for an RA position, andone doesn't show financial need,he or she will be discriminatedagainst on the basis of wealth,"one Senator suggested.
Another concern discussed wasthat under the policy some RA'scould be working for $300 Cbasedon their need), while others, whomay have a great financial need,

To the Editor :Last night I went to see the
theatre area's production of TheRope Dancers by MortonWisbengrad, and directed by PeterWright.
What I experienced was not justan evening of entertainment but aglimpse into time and place not myown but nonetheless real. The actors transcended mere characterization and became vividly dimensional people. I was deeply movedand touched by the production.
I would like to thank PeterWright and all involved in one ofthe finest college theatre productions that I have ever seen.

action, the injunction normallywould apply only to the six nonregistrant plaintiffs. MPIRGlawyer Daniel Lass aid MPIRGstaff believe that for technicallegal reasons the injunction willapply nationally. In any event,Lass said, it would be hard for thegovernment to justify enforcingthe law against all but six nonregistrants.
The law, passed as the Solomonamendment to the 1983 DefenseAuthorization Act, would requireall students-including womenand others not required toregister-to sign a statement ofcompliance with draftregistration laws when receivingtheir checks for student aid. Menrequired to register would haveto show proof of registration,such as an acknowledgementletter from Selective Service. Theaid programs affected would beGuaranteed Student Loans,PLUS Auxiliary Loans, NationalDirect Student Loans, PellGrants, Supplemental Grants,College Work/Study Assistance,and State student IncentiveGrants. Enforcing regulationswould take effect July 1.
The injunction was granted ontwo grounds: first, that theSolomon amendment is a bill ofattainder, prohibited by theConstitution-an act of Congresspunishing someone without acourt trial-and second, that itviolates the Fifth Amendmentprotection against selfincrimination. The suit alsocharged that the law violatesconstitutionally required equal

The preliminary injunction isin effect only until the case isdecided . However , to grant suchan injunction, the judge must rulethat the case has a good chance ofwinning in the final decision . Theinjunction stops enforcement ofthe law as if it had never beenpassed.

Non-Smokers to stop apologizingwhen we ask Smokers to please putout their cigarettes.

• " Why did I leave my gas mask athome today?" I can remember asking myself this question as I glanced around the smoldering remainsof what was once a classroom ofhigher learning. A friend of mineonce suggested that I could bringmy Tony Randall Smokers' Fan toschool every day. and when thesmoke began to get rather thick, Icould prop it up on my desk, turnit on, and watch as the smoke madea quick U-Turn, blowing back into the faces of those portable littlesmokestacks.

The Solomon amendment hasbeen opposed by several collegesacross the country, includingYale University, the Universityof Minnesota , and SwarthmoreCollege. Officials at Yale havesaid they would use universityfunds to compensate for any aidlost by students who, for reasonsof conscience or pacifism, did notregister for the draft. EarlhamCollege, a Quaker college inRichmond, Ind ., has alsocommitted itself to providingalternative financial aid.Officials at Swarthmore andHaverford Colleges have saidthey might take similar action.
Swarthmore joined in theMinnesota suit by filing a briefcontending that the lawunconstitutionally discriminatesagainst men and poor men.Swarthmore president DavidFraser has said he was alsocanvassing other colleges in aneffort to gather a group of collegepresidents who oppose linkingmilitary regulations with studentaid .

New Committee ReviewsAdmissions Statement
A University Woman'sPlace is in AAUW
by Lorraine Corvese
The Academic Status Committeeformed an Admissions Committeelast fall to clarify the wording (\f
the admissions procedure listed iitthe catalogue.
The purpose of the AdmissionsCommittee is to "examine the adrnissions statement to see if anychanges ought to be made," saysDr. Shel Kagan, a member of thecommittee.
Chairperson Anne Barry, says,"We'relooking at the catalogue totry to modify it, spell it out moreclearly for the benefit of parentsand students. Each member of thecommittee rewrites the statementthen we all talk it over at themeetings and try to come to conclusions of our own . It's not aneasy thing to do ."
The committee is made up of afaculty member from each division,Shel Kagan, Thomas Holstein,Benjamin Carr, Betsy Argo, BruceThomson and Earl Gladue.
Dean of Admissions RobertNemec, works with the group andattends the meetings. "We justwant to spell out what we're looking for, help the student identifywith what we want," Nemecsays. "We're also trying to definethe word 'skill' in the policy."
Namec continues, "When flook
at a transcript, I have to know thegrading code system the highschool is using, the level of the highschool and the graduation requirements of that school. Highschool grades, letters of recommendation and interviews are what wego by when we decide to admitsomeone.
"When it comes to grades,"Nemec goes on, "it depends onwhat the student's major is. If he'san engineering major, I don't careifo1Je failed English as long as his
' math grades are good . f know hewon 't need English for his major.Likewise, if a student wants to bea writing major, f don't care if hefailed math."
According to the Collegecatalogue a student who plans to gointo engineering should have takenand done well in algebra, geometryand trigonometry in high school. Abusiness or computer programmingmajor needs to have taken twoyears of algebra because he'll begetting calculus in his freshmanyear.
Nemec explains that if a studentdoesn't know what his major willbe then he goes in as an undecidedliberal arts major. If he wants tochange his major he goes to his advisor who will tell him to see thedivision head of the major he's interested in.
"Then the student will have toclear the major with me. I will lookover the high school transcriptagain to see if the change is a wist'one in light of the g...des the student received in those courses,"Nemec says.
'. "A letter of recommendation isalso important, along with thegrades," he continues, "becausethen I can know something aboutthe student that grades don't tellme. If the student failed a lot ofcourses, a letter will tell me that hemay have been sick for half theschool year. Also, letters tell me ofa student's relationship with histeachers or if he has personalproblems.
' I don't look at SATs," Nemecsays. "I don't believe in them .SATs only measure geometry andthere's a lot of .verba l guess work.There isn't even any essay writing .The SATs tell me nothing. For theinterview, I try to see if the studentknows what he's talking about.Does he understand the requirements for the degree? All ofthese figure into whether we accepta student or not. And this is whatwe want to try to clarify in ' thecatalogue. There are 30 differentmajors, 30 different requirements,therefore, there are 30 differentthings to look for."
