He also said that the building has passed safety spcifications. Most residents, however, felt that control of parties was not an issue. "I feel parties at Kanty aren't out of control and feel that the students here do a good job of controlling them," one resident said. A fellow resident commented that "there have been a few incidents out of control, but usually they are individuals' self-control problems rather than the party's." Lochbaum said alcohol is not allowed at Kanty although he does not inspect rooms. He also said security guards patrol the halls from 6 pm to 3:30 am seven days a week.

This year, publicity on campus included not only posters and brochures but actual sapeeches, which were presented by students in Mrs. Cathy Mester's advanced public speaking class. "The principle goal was to have students face the realistic challenges of speaking in a different, more difficult setting," Mester said. The student speeches were given during the noon hour and included campaign presentations for presidential candidates Mike Dukakis and George Bush, Vice- Presidential hopefuls Lloyd Bentscn and Dan Quayle, and Congressional candidates Tom Ridge and George Elder. "We wanted to contribute to the education of the campus as a whole by bringing in the issues," said Mester.

He said that the heat is controlled by the residents, but some residents weren't getting much heat because they had covered their registers with clothes, blocking them. Regarding complaints of no toilet paper, Lochbaum said he had tried to remedy the problem by giving the resident's each their own roll. He said he'd looked into getting locking dispensers to keep the rolls from being stolen, but had heard "horror stories" about students stealing them and "making lamps out of them." Responding to the complaints that the pays phones were often out of order, Lochbaum said that he was never aware of any being out of order for up to a week, as reported in the Collegian.

Job boards at schools as varied as Kirkwood Community College in lowa, Miami-Dadc Community College, Mississippi State and California State- San Jose Universities, Franklin and Marshall College and the universities of Maryland and Miami reportedly remain full of listings for students who, now avidly wooed, sometimes find themselves weighing competing job offers. Nationwide, "college students should be able to find plenty of part-time and entry-level full-time jobs,” said Vicky Bohman of Manpower, Inc., the New York based temporary employment agency which released a survey of such jobs the last week of September.

Lochbaum feels he gave "way too much" last year and is stricter this year. He said that last year he provided appliances such as mixers, silverware, and irons to the students only to find these items "hanging in the bushes." Lochbaum repeatedly stressed his concern that residents learn that they're responsible for their actions and the discipline required to live in a communal setting.

Nearby Ganon Universisity has met with computer virus problems of their own. On October 28, a strain of the Pakistani or Brain Computer Virus was discovered in the university's IBM computer lab. While the PC lab is now thought to be free from the virus the possibility for reinfection remains.

At the University of Colorado, student Greg Youngs found that about 85 campus Macintoshes were infected with another type of virus, and then eliminated the vims before telling CU's Computing and Network Services office about it, the Campus Press reported.

"There have been forty viruses discovered this year in the IBM community, and only three in the Apple community," he said.
