Hopefully, an agency can be selected which will enable the student to gain experience in their chosen field of major study.

Usual work load is 15-20 hours per week, with the student's salary being paid by the Tri-County Neigh borhood Youth Corps. Stu dents are responsible for making their own work schedules as well as keeping a time sheet of their hours.

Also, the SGA would appreciate each organiza tional president's class schedule for the winter term. The schedules can be left in the SGA mailbox in W-110 OUR COVER Photo by Mark Feldman Mr. Paul strikes again! by Phil Zimmerman This has got to be the last straw. Mr. Paul has abused his authority once to often. This last incident is inexcusable. What happened you ask--Mr. Paul sneezed while walking past two students the other day, and at least six witnesses will swear that he tried to assault one of the students. Absurd you say, not so on this campus. Mr. Paul's reputation will always overshadow any good deed he could ever possibly think of doing. The first thing we hear upon arriving at Capitol Campus is that we have a security officer that is out to get us. So to be on the defensive we always avoid him and believe everything we hear about him. Usually the rumors are stretched so far out of proportion that no one knows the difference between fact and propaganda. So we continue to gossip and retell the same stories over and over, and each time they get better. Last year a group of "con cerned students" had a Student Committee on Security Mat ters formed. I was asked to be a member of the committee because I was a junior. Guess I was the only member of the committee that hadn't already decided on the removal of Mr. Paul from his present position. The committee presented Jerry South, Director Student Affairs, and Mr. Dressler, Administrative Officer, a document of recommended changes and a list of alleged abuses committed by Mr. Paul. This list would question anyone's integrity and credibility. if they were true. However, the chairwoman of the committee hastly drafted the document and relied upon rumors and propaganda to defend the allegations. The explicit purpose of the com mittee was to put the ax to Mr. Paul. The few leaders of the student grievers which I met seemed to possess a dislike for Mr. Paul to which objective analysis could share no part. In all my research into the student court records and talking with individuals per sonally involved with cases brought against them by Mr. Paul, no evidence was given that MR. Paul overstepped his authority or used undue in fluence upon them. If your reputation or my reputation was questioned by a list of alleged abuses, we would demand action to produce evidence of misconduct. We would want our name cleared, why wasn't Mr. Paul given the same consideration? One good thing came as a result of the committee's ac tion, a student security force was established. However, I question the overall actions of the committee. It appeared evident that the committee was a tool used by a few to persue a personal vendetta. Most of us have had little contact with Mr. Paul, yet approximately 30 individuals last year kept the rumors flying to cloud the atmosphere of real issues being confronted. If Mr. Paul is wrong in en- regulations of the college, then why have the rules in the first place? He's not to blame for restricted parking areas or the awkward parking situation which we have. If you want to complain about them, com plain to someone who can change policies--SGA. The one fault Mr. Paul does have is that he goes strictly by the book, and it gets him a bad reputation. But because you don't like the rules, don't degrade and slander the body of individuals enforcing them. The grave peril resulting is that a small minority, ap proximately .015 percent, can influence the majority in their thinking. Try and recall if you signed one of the many petitions circulated last year regarding Mr. Paul. You probably did, just because Mr. Paul'a name was mentioned. One thing I can't understand is why students are so repressed by the thought of security on campus. I was informed that the "big yellow and red lights", on the security T BE ATLES vehicle, psychologically upset some individuals. Does this occur when they are in a town, municipality, or on a state road and a marked police vehicle passes them? The group pressuring for the removal of Mr. Paul were against "pigs" in general. Even the student security force became the brunt of verbal assault after their implementation. So is the real problem Mr. Paul, or what he and the student force stand for and represent? I'm sure Mr. Paul has made mistakes. But why should mistakes of others be overlooked and forgiven and not the mistakes of Mr. Paul?

I believe the faculty and students need to review their prejudices regarding the subject. Put yourself in his shoes, before you critize! Although they are no more ...they live forever in Finally, after years of experimentation in the media and entertainment industry, a breakthrough that can truly be called a breakthrough has emerged. The discovery is Multi- Media, and it has emerged in the form of "THE BEATLES: AWAY WITH WORDS". If you only go to see the technological tri umphs and have no interest in the aesthetic, nostalgic, or musical value of the show, by all means go; for you will behold something you've never before im agined. Not a crude at tempt at Multi-Media, but Multi-Media itself. Twenty six projectors, thousands of feet of film, and a 360 degree sound system, all tied into a computer, and all aimed right at your soul. Producer Earl Jarred, who has won acclaim intMationally for his feats in the entertainment world, says "trying to describe this show is like trying to describe music to someone who has never before heard it."
