Many students fail to realize or theyirealize too late that they need to show prospective employers that they are mature and responsi ble.

One girl, who was twelfth term in elementary ed ucation, was very disappointed when she realized she should have come into the center as a sophomore or junior to gain experience working with child ren. Students can also gain an awareness of things they find they would not like to do, especially if they are consid ering working in a certain field or with certain kinds of people. A former EEC major came back to the center after volunteering at Laurelton, and said she never realized it was like that, and she changed her major.

AWARDS BANQUET em Pennsylvania during the Irish potato famine of the 184 O's. Student Government Associ ation President Joseph C. Melnick served as master of ceremonies for the evening, and opened the banquet with a reminder to the guests that the favors could be obtained in the Student Affairs Office this week—the manufacturer forgot to make them. SGA Vice-President James Durso gave the innvocation, a re hash of a boy scout oath (Mur phy was a boy scout). Introductions for the club awards were performed by Ms. Frances Grencavich, president of the Student Union Board. Most of the active, and some not so active, clubs on cam pus spieled off a list of mem bers' names, and little more. The academic awards also went by quickly. Professor M. Leonard Shaevel said he was pleased to be there that "Thrusday" evening—Melnick had mis-spelled "Thursday" in his publicity flyers. Shaevel presented the academic awards for the various colleges; the Academic Achievement and Lead ership Awards for Bacculariate and for Associate Degree stu dents went to Grencavich and Ms. Cynthia Parsons, respect ively. The campus Eric A. and Josephine Walker Award, present ed by Joseph McCallus, Dean of Student Affairs, also went to Grencavich. Dr. William J. David, Campus Director, made the presenta tions of Freshman and Sopho more of the Year; Eonald C. Drum and Joyce Barton were the respective recipients. Mr. Eichard Paul, Assistant Prof, of Mathematics, received the Teacher of the Year Award, and is now ineligible for the com petition for the next two years. After the presentations and speeches were completed, facul ty members with 'sensitive ears began to leave the banquet hall. Negotiating the stairs to the lower level lounge proved difficult for some in dividuals, but the atmosphere provided relief for those sen sitive ears from the dance mu sic by Four-Way Street. The gathering concluded after 1 a.m., and there were a lot of empty seats in Friday morn ing classes.
