Page 4 Work Study: Should open positions be offered to students who do not qualify for work study? Yes, I think all work study positions should be opened to all students. I don’t think it is right to base hiring eligibility on a student's parents' income level. I work in Dobbins and by the current system, this is the only job I qualify for on campus. -John Butler 05 Accounting You always see signs up, “Work Study,” for people who qualify. They seem to have more positions than students who qualify. They should offer them to students who don't qualify. -Dan Jaecks 07 GAS It would give the people who don't qualify for work study the opportunity to work on campus and become more involved on campus. -Brian Morton 05 Accounting I think that people should have the opportunity to work any where they want to regardless of having work study or not. Not everyone qualifies for it and there are still people who need jobs. If the only place with job openings is for work study then they should be given an equal chance at getting that job. -Danielle DeCarolis 02 DUS -James Bunce 01 Engineering Responses compiled by Doreen Foutz Theatre professor fails as cop, gets nabbed by Justin Bergman * The gw Hatchet officer, the police repot said. Sabelli was released on a summons pending a court hearing. If convicted, he could face a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $2,500 fine. According to The Washington Post, Sabelli told police he didn’t like the way the girl was driving. “A police officer who saw driving behavior like that would stop someone,” Officer Cherly Watson said. “But obviously it doesn’t give someone else a right to put a flashing red light in their dashboard and do it” Sabelli did not return several messages left at his office last week requesting that he comment on the incident. He has been a theater professor at GW for 20 years, said Leslie Jacobson, chairman of the theater and dance department WASHINGTON-- It seems as though George Washington University theater Professor Bradley Sabelli could benefit from some acting classes himself. In fact, his latest performance in his latest role was so unconvincing, it could land him in jail. Sabelli was arrested recently for allegedly impersonating a police officer when he stopped two girls who were driving recklessly in Centerville, Va., on Oct. 23. According to Fairfax County police reports, Sabelli, 47, was driving west on Northboume Drive at about 8 p.m. when he said he approached a vehicle that “appeared to be weaving within its lane.” Sabelli was not without his theatrical props. In attempt to get the car to pull over, he placed a flashing red light in his front windshield. The occupants of the other car, two girls also from Centerville, ages 16 and 18, refused to pull over at first and allowed Sabelli to follow for several blocks with the flashing red light on, the police report said. Finally, at the intersection of Ghoptank Court and Indian Rock Road, die girls stopped at a red light and Sabelli pulled up beside them, rolled down his window and implied that he was an off duty police officer and could write the driver a ticket. The girls were apparently unconvinced by Sabelli’s performance, so they took down his license plate number when he drove away and later called police. Sabelli was arrested last Tuesday and charged with “falsely assuming or exercising the function or duty of police Question of the Week- "lt dosen't give someone else a right to put a flashing red light in their dashboard and do it" Officer -Cherly Watson University officials would not comment on the incident, either, because it is considered a “personal matter,” according to Mike Freedman, director of Public Affairs in the University Relations office. Freedman did say, however, that in any case, Sabelli should be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. No, the system is set up so people get the money they need. They work study positions should be reserved only for those who really need it. -Kevin Wellejus 01 Engineering They should be offered to other people only after a certain date to fill unused positions. -Spyce McMahan 04 DUS No, the work study positions are for people who are financially disadvantaged. If the program is working correctly, then the people on work study need and deserve that money. -Brendan O'Donell 03 History Yes, the money is used for what the students need. If it is not used for tuition then it should be open to all students. Everyone can use money for anything. -Steve Pavlock 03 MET Yes, everyone needs the money. There are plenty of open positions that work study students aren't taking. Why not open those positions up to students who are willing to work. Linda Salamon, vice president of Academic Affairs, called the arrest “a civil matter,” which occurred nowhere near the GW campus and did not affect GW students in any way. Therefore, she said the University will not involve itself in the matter through the judicial process. Freedman said the University might have reason to get involved if Sabelli is convicted in court, though. He said the university has a faculty code of conduct to evaluate incidents like this, and if convicted, “the issue would be looked at to see if it merited further attention.” He added, though, that he thought this crime was just a misdemeanor, and not a crime of “moral turpitude.” Jacobson, who said she has known Sabelli for 18 years, agreed with Freedman. She said she thought Sabelli had acted with the best intentions, because he was worried the girls “would kill themselves or someone else.” “It was possible that he did save lives,” Jacobson added. “(Sabelli) is one of the most moral and decent people I know.” She said that Sabelli will “absolutely** continue teaching at the university for the time being, as he is one of the most “valued members of the department." News "It was possible that he did save lives" -Leslie Jacobson SGA Report The Student Government Association holds its weekly meeting every Wednesday atSdS in Reed conference room tl*. Whether or not SGA should publish a student-faculty phone directory this year has been a topic of debate for more than a month. It appeared, based an recent committee reports, that the question had been answered and that a phone directory would almost assuredly be published and available by the start of the spring semester. But now the question of to publish or not to publish is back on the table, and hopes of a phone directory being out next semester are growing dimmer. SGA President Timothy MaUon gave no explanation for the new twist in the phone directory saga, saying that it would be published by January If SGA still backed the directory. “We’re wondering if it’s something we should do now,” Matlon said. The petitions against cuts in state funded student aid which aft currently being circulated across campus by SGA senators have been signed by 600 students, SGA had an initial goal of receiving signatures from half of Behrend’s student body.
