A pool Lion’s Eye November 29, 1979 — CAREERS — Journalism probe backfi A continuing series of career news and information by Career Development and Placement Center (CDPC) Counselor Stephen M. ~ Sciscione. The process of choosing or deciding on a college major can be a frustrating time of indecision and stress. The starting point for making this type of decision is an examination of yourself. The first Career Station in the CDPC is designed to help facilitate this search by focusing on personal interests, values, and abilities. The self-assessment is accomplished through reflection on past experiences (for example: What are your ac- -complishments? Skills? Interests?). The use of references and pro- grammed instruction booklets that are self-administered and self- evaluated, as well as an occupational view deck, can help in the search. Self exploration is thought of as the first vital step in Career/Life planning and consists of such elements as short term goal setting, determining what your values are, lifestyle choice, and techniques for effective decision making. Five-week career exploration workshops will be offered in the CDPC during Winter Term. If you are interested in a self- exploration as part of your career decision-making, contact CDPC Counselor Stephen M. Sciscione. The Career Development and Placement Center is located in the Student Affairs Modular Building. In Other Eyes. . . . . .

COBSGA has parking policy revised card authorizes only one pool vehicle to be on campus at a time.”’ The Council of Branch Cam- pus Student government NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. (UPI) — The staff of Westminster College's student newspaper said it proved its point: it is not too difficult to sneak books out of the school library. Now, the college administra- tion wants to prove its point: crime — even if it is for the cause of investigative jour- nalism — will not be tolerated. The Lawrence County college filed suit against the Westminster Holcad and its staff for stealing library books. The reporters involved had been ordered to appear before the campus judicial board on theft charges. “I can’t believe it.” said Mark Bahr, co-editor of the newspaper. ‘The intention of the paper was to prove how serious the security problem is at the library. “We thought it would help the situation,” he said. ‘I feel we were doing investigative reporting and nothing illegal.” Eight of the newspaper's reporters managed to sneak 140 books out of the library within a 60-minute period on Nov. 4. The books were returned within hours of the “theft.” College adminstrators were primarily concerned with ‘the principle involved” in the mat- ter, said Dean William Wright. Wright said it marks the first time the college has brought charges against a group or in- dividual attempting to show a ER a BR ER J SIE PES NP TR J CRS Tc SE ee i res situation needs correcting by bending the rules. , “No group or individual has any super right to go beyond college regulations to prove a point,” he said. ‘If the paper were allowed, then other groups may want to break rules and say they are trying to prove a point.” Westminster also has never brought charges against students for stealing library books. The reason: the library has no security system to deter- mine whether a book is being taken out. ; The Judicial board cleared the students after its hearing into the case. Student Parking Areas Emphasized Delaware County Campus Business Manager Eugene Cloud has announced that students are expected to park their cars in those areas marked for student parking only. Parking in unauthoriz- ed areas will result in ap- propriate fine. Students are reminded that the new parking lot near the tennis courts will not be available until the new Library/Learning Center is completed. the use of the roadway leading to the Library/Learning Center is prohibited. — Reserved For Faculty Nader wants elimination of testing for admissions TUCSON, Ariz. (CCRS) --Consumer advocate Ralph Nader wants New York students to work to eliminate standardized tests in the admis- sions process if exam costs and availablity are affected by the new ‘“‘Truth-in-Testing’’ law. A major element of the law re- quires that questions and answers for every test given in New York after Jan. 1 be made public after 30 days. The Educational Testing Service, which develops many of these tests, and other opponents claim this disclosure would in- crease costs since testers would have to develop new questions each time the exam is given and then made public. Currently, questions are often repeated. To make up for the costs of disclosure, testers say, exam fees will increase, and they will be given less often. “It’s a phoney argument,” Nader recently told reporters before addressing students at the University of Arizona. He claimed ETS’s own documents show that less than five percent of its testing costs goes to ques- tion development. He added that the non-profit “corporation’s computers have 300,000 questions in storage. “Since ETS lost its battle in the legislature, it now turns to blackmail,”’ Nader said. He suggested that if prices increase and availability decreases as testers say, that New York students should then Continued on Page 7 Associations (COBSGA) presented a proposal to end the proration system _of carpool parking fees at the Student Ad- visory Board meeting at University Park last month. COBSGA members claimed that the new Commonwealth Campuses parking policy in- stituted Fall Term actually discouraged carpooling while increasing the University’s parking income. Students at several of Penn State's all- communter campuses, in- PENN STATE DELAWARE COUNTY CAMPUS BOOKSTORE cluding the Delaware County Campus, had complained about the unfairness of the plan. According to the plan, there were pro-rated parking fees for carpooling students. for exam- ple, two students in a pool would pay $8.00 a piece per term while a regular permit con- tinued to cost $10.00. But, the carpooling students would pay a total of $16.00 for one parking place (only one of the carpool cars is permitted on campus at one time). The University would net $24.00 for one park- ing place from a six-student car- pool ($4.00) a piece per term) - the same place that one student would pay $10.00 for. In light of COBSGA's arguments, the University has again revised the parking policy as follows: ‘Effective Winter Term 1980, the charge for a single parking place will be $10.00, including registration for one vehicle.
