business/careers What you'll need to know 111 By JIM WICKIZER Collegian Staff Writer Now is the time to start filling out all those applications and sending out resumes. Although the University's Career Development and Placement Center, 408 Boucke, doe 3 not recommend that students pay to have their resumes. prepared, a variety of firms are avail able for students who either don't have the time or the confidence to do it themselves. 'I would like (customers) to bring their transcripts. Some students don't know how marketable their courses are.' Dick Hess, associate director of the center, said there is no single correct way to write a resume. "There are as many formats of resume writing as there are people," Hess said. • Students who are unsure about how to prepare a resume should see a career counselor for help -- free of charge, he said. The center offeks resume workshops fourth period on Tuesdays and sixth period on Thurs ' days at 108 Boucke, as well, as by individual appointments. The center does not recommend a particular private resume services to students, he said. But such services do .7 exist. • " Linda Price, area director for Best Resume Services, 103 E. Beaver Ave., said Best. Resume offers 20 years of experience as well as marketing pro ' fessionals and researchers to a sta. dent searching for a job. • `We're a marketing firm.

Beet Reseffle Services, 'established instate college four years ag°"4the first Pure seryice in the area, ill Center to begin programs for 2-career couples By REBECCA CLARK Collegian Staff Writer If finding a job for one person is tough, trying to look for a couple can be twice as hard. - Questions such as: "Can we both find a job in the same location?"; "What area of the country do we want to work in?"; "Do we want to get married right after graduation?"; and "If we get. married, when do we want to start a family?" have arisen for John Dreyfuss (10th nuclear engineering) and Darlene Buscaglio (12th-communications studies) and other dual career couples at the University. According to a recent article in Journal of College Placement, the number of dual career couples is increasing possibly because the number of working women has increased by 205 percent since 1947. - After graduation, Dreyfuss wants to go into 'research either in private industry or govern ment while Buscaglio will be enrolled in Georgetown University's paralegal program from September to January. • They have discussed the problems and future effects of having different careers, but stressed they have not fully thought out all the questions about having dual careers "because things are still so up in the air." Although they do not want to give up their individual career goals, neither. Dreyfuss or Buscaglio thinks the situation will pose a prob lem because after getting experience, each hopes to be marketable in any geographic area. "We still have a long way •to go because we both need experience in the careers we've chosen," Buscaglio said. "Because I have the chance to make a good living and use my education, I'm going to make the best of it." And Dreyfuss said, "At this point in time, we are striking the happy medium —rather than splitting up, we are letting each other follow our separate career paths and goals. "I'm taking a chance of letting her slip away, but she needs to get a feel for her career she needs to get assertiveness. Experience is the key.

"First, the student will go through a one-hour interview with me," Price said. "You don't have to bring any thing to the interview." On the basis of the interview, Price and her co-workers develop the re sume. Best Resume Services offers a spe cial student package that includes 50. copies of a typeset resume for $69.95, Price said, "No financial commitment is —Ruth Aitken of Aitken Associates needed until you've proofed their re sume, and you're happy with it,"sh'e said.

"We built our success on our service." Ruth Aitken of Aitken Associates (formerly House of Resumes), 124 S. Patterson St., said she charges a $5O base fee plus $25 a page to construct a resume. The base fee includes a free rough draft and consultation. If student writes the draft under her instructions, the fee is $25 less, she said. :A student doesn't need to bring anything with them when they come for an interview with her.

Some problems with having to deal with the dual career situation such as being separated when a mate works in a different location, deciding between individual career goals and career goals as a couple and deciding when to start a family seem to be inevitable. To help students deal with these problems, the Career Development and Placement Center had a program last term in which career counselors helped student couples anticipate possible problems that might result from dual careers and advised couples on how to deal with those problems. Counselors Mary Surridge and Mark Guido started counseling student couples in dual Ca reers last term and will hold dual careers seminars beginning today. The program will start with a dual career "Job Search" at 1 p.m., followed by "Employ er's Perspective" at 2:30 p.m. and "Couples' Perspectives" which will start at 4 p.m. All three programs will be held in the HUB Gallery lounge. "We try to get the couples to eliminate the idea that they both will find jobs that are suitable and that will be in the same geograph ical location," Surridge said. Guido said although counselors try to help student couples deal with dual career conflicts, no concrete questions and answers exist about what students can do when they are faced with dual career problems. Instead, Guido said, "We have students learn about the issues and develop strategies on how to deal with them." The best way for student couples to approach these problems is to tell each oiler what they want in a job, where they want to live and how they feel about family matters such as when to start a family, Surridge and Guido said. ' "We stress that each couple has to determine for themselves how they will deal with their problem," Surridge said. "Both students should understand what each is willing to compromise in choosing a job how much each is willing to give up and how they are going to approach employers." dents don't know how marketable their courses are." Vickie Esc.helman, typist and re sume Interviewer for A-1 Copy serv ice, 224 Fraser St., said they'll do anything with a resume , that a cus tomer wants. "We'll do your resume from scratch if you don't know what you want," Eschelman said. "We'll type, copy, edit, interview you, everything." The firm charges $5O to do a,resume from scratch, but the resume could cost as much as $lOO. "Whatever we do with your resume, the charge is for the time it takes us," she said. "We guarantee our work. "We make all kind of corrections free of charge," she said. "Some places will print it with mistakes; nothing gets out of here unless it's right." If the resume only needs to be printed, the service can have it ready in two hours. The cost: 6 to 8 cents a page to have it copied on quality paper. Bill Brickley, jobwork supervisor for Collegian Productions, 7 Carnegie, said a student needs a rough draft of his resume in order for the Collegian to print it. • "We don't feel we're qualified to advise students as to the format they should choose for their mime," Brickley said. Collegian Productions charges $l5 for the first typeset page and $lO for the second page. "This week for the first time well be able to offer students 50 copies of their type-set resume for only $22," he said. One thing the Collegian service does differently than most services is that it emphasizes in bold letters 'the stu dent's best qualifications, he said. "The interviewer can clearly see what you think your best qualifica tions are," he said. "It's neat, orderly and professionally done."

However, Dreyfuss said that as graduation nears, decisions get tougher to make. "As time draws near, things get desperate," he said. "If we are . sure of marriage, we are willing to sacrifice our career goals and geo- graphical preference." Some students who are confined to a geo graphic area because of personal commitment fear that employers might not consider them for jobs.

Even though these companies try to help relocated executives' mates find jobs, Guido said, companies are moving slowly in setting up programs to help established and entry-level dual career couples. However, because the trend is toward dual careers, Guido said, businesses are beginning to deal with the problems of dual couples and the future "is hopeful" that businesses will continue to deal with the problems of dual career couples. Tuesday, March 30 Photo by Nathai USG LENI BARCHILEE FACETTI Financial Aid, Calendar Conversion, and Collective Student Action is of utmost impor tance to you, as a student, and therefore forms the basis of the BARCHIFACETTI platform. Students must vocalize their concern for financial aid reductions. At the same time we must expand our options in coping with re duced financial aid. BARCHIFACETTI has al ready laid the groundwork for instituting alternatives by: implementing an ongoing jobs file, negotiating with the Downtown Business men's Association, sponsoring a mentorship program between Alumni and students, and creating a financial aid review committee. Students' concerns over the Calander Con version can be recognized and vocalized to the Board of Trustees through the U.S.G. Presi dent. A review board will be established for assessing the viability of a waiver system for those caught in the transition, the Impact on the educational quality at P.S.U., as well as, the logistical problems that may arise for hand icapped students and others. An enrollment of 30,000 students at P.S.U. can constitute a significant coalition in.achiev ing student goals within the University, State College, Pennsylvania, and America. U.S.G. must act as a vehicle for articulating student issues within the larger context of economic and political reality. U.S.G. can be that vehicle through BARCHIFACETTI by assessing and addressing those issues affecting the entire student body. These interests are, in many cases, shared with the Administration, Faculty, and Borough Officials. U.S.G. collectively with other organizations must develop and strengthen , the ties with these factions. Through Cooperation and not confrontation, our goals can be recoghlzed. Vote for a team that has worked for your interests in the past! , VOTE BARCH/FACETT'I Fraternity JOSEPH T. CLOUSE I believe that it is important for Fraternities to maintain a close relationship with as many University activities as possible ... espe- cially the Undergraduate Student Government. Since fraternities make up a major portion of Penn State students, it is essential to be well represented in any area that can affect us, whether it be positive or negative. Above all, I am a God• Fearing American citizen who believes in the American way of life; and I go to The Den on Tuesdays and the Skellar on Fridays. JON DAVID McCULLOUGH EXPERIENCE, it is an essential element when serving the students as a USG senator. Throughout this past year, my work as a senator has involviii me with SOFAR as an area coordinator. I've also worked on the Calendar Conversion. Communications Committee to better inform students of the upcoming change. I have dedicated myself to the fight against financial aid reductions and to a smooth calender conversion. Now I need your help to continue my work FOR YOU!!! MARK NAIDOFF , As Town senator, I've worked to represent student needs. I'm one of the Business Departments Board of Directors, a member of police services, political affairs and University Concert Committee. This broad range of experience enables me to best serve the students. As Fraternity senator, I'll focus on representing the specific concerns of my constituents, such as calendar conversion and financial aid. Because of my experience and dedication within USG, I'm the most qualified candidate for Fraternity senator. MICHAEL PAUL Hello, my name is Michael Paul and I would like to be one of the next USG Senators from the Fraternity District. I am a fourth term Business Administration major. Located at Skull House I will always be available for your input. Financial Aid, Teaching Assistants and the Semester Change are all areas where we can make a difference if we work together. Vote March 31 and April 1. Town RICHARD ANTHONY GARCIA As a Student Senator, I would like to serve as a go-between for the represented student township constituents and the U.S.G., to be accessible to hear their complaints and Ideas and at the same time promote the University's Undergraduate Student Government and its organizational policies to them. ROSS KATC H MAN The biggest problem with the USG Town Senate is a lack of communication between senators and their constituents. As a mem ber of OTIS (Organization for Town Independent Students), I believe I have a good understanding of the problems and needs of town students. I hope to make the Town Senate a more visible and active organization that speaks for the town student population instead of just sixteen individual senators. • SCOTT M. KELLEY —The problem with the present USG is that its perceived as a political organization, actually it's a service organization. —More time and research must .be spent before the calendar conversion Issue can be decided. —Financial aid cuts fundamentally unfair USG must still voice the needs of the students opposition to them. —Pattee library should have longer hours to fulfill the students needs. —Finally, USG, needs more involvement so it's possible to use its power to meet the demands of the students. DANIEL R. KWEDER I will maintain close contact with my constituents as an accessi ble, and effective liaison between the town area students and the USG. While promoting the usefulness of USG for the town area students. Above all, through my work and my vote, I shall emphasize the complaints, concerns, and opinions of the town area students. The USG Is the students government. With your help it will work better for you!!! JOHN J. LOMANNO Being a student counselor I am aware of the many problems that confront the Penn State Student. I feel that students living off campus are not adequately represented. Furthermore I feel that many of the students are unaware of the beneficial activities the Undergraduate Student Government has to offer. Upon being elected I will be an accessible liaison between the Undergraduate Student Government and the off campus student. LAURA W. MORRISON Since the town area is much more diverse and lacks the unification that the dorm areas possess, the need for a strong senator is essential. I want the students to know who their senators are, what they are doing, and to be able to use them as their link into the student government. Because I have been secretary for the East Resident AsSociation for the past year, I understand how the governmental system here at Penn State operates; therefore, I believe I am qualified for the position and will able to represent the students quite effectively. MARTY NORCINI The senate needs a creative, spirited voice faithful to promoting a better Penn State atmosphere. Being a four-year veteran of the air force, I have developed qualities necessary to the office of town senator: responsibility and leadership. I am sure that my professional ism and devotion to the senate will be beneficial to the entire Penn State community. JIM KRAUSSISTEVE LUNGER USG is a student service organization, first and foremost. • USG is a representative/reactive , student group, second. USG can be better; to be the best student government, student leaders have to mold these two aspects of student government together effectively. Jim Krauss and Steve Lunger can do that. (1) Breakdowns in communications, both internally and externally (i.e. a lack of student input). . (2) A lack of a formal organizational pattern, structure, or guidelines. (3) A lack of perceived credibility among students and the administration. All of these poblems have plagued USG in past years. It's time for a change! It's time for someone to do something about these prob lems. KRAUSS/LUNGER can Make the differ. ence between a floundering organization and an effective, representative student service government. For too long, USG has been a single issue organization. USG must avoid haphazardly diverting valuable resources to these personal whims without necessary student support. Many of these situations arise due to a lack of continuity in the personnel of USG. We'll strive to get more freshmen and sophomores involved, so USG can maintain certain levels of underclass participation. ' Both Jim Krauss and Steve Lunger are qualified, experienced, and ready to serve the student community. We're ready to serve, now we need YOU to give us an opportunity! VOTE FOR JIM KRAUSS AND STEVE LUNGER FOR USG!!!!!! DEBBIE RIEBMAN USG is only as effective as we make it. As a Senator for the past two years, I have seen the highs and lows of student government. USG reached a high by awakening students to financial aid cuts. I think USG can go much higher. I will work as a Senate leader to smooth the transition after elections and to motivate new Senators to work with me on more campus-wide Issues and services. STEPHEN A. RIPP "Why am I running? Students have a limited voice in University affairs. USG is the fink between the student's opinions and the administration in Old Main. For two consecutive years I have worked as a USG Senator from North Halls to improve these relations. in addition, this past year I chaired a committee that solicited over 1,500 summer jobs from Penn State alumni. USG works, and the University will change, but we need your help. Thanks RAYMOND G. SCHAFER • During my 11 terms at Penn State, I have faced many of the problems that students encounter at the University. Being in an engineering discipline, I am familiar with the College of Engineering and difficulties such as scheduling courses, class size etc. In my role as a USG Town Senator, I hope to work both inside and outside the organization to help solve these and other problems that students encounter. Thanks for your consideration. LAURA SCHECTER If I am elected senator for the town area, my main concern would be getting the townspeople more involved with the student govern. ment. I would be available to listen to and try to find a solution for complaints of my constituents. A major problem seems to be CATA, the bus system, and I beleive that representatives of the student government should have seats on their board and offer input from the students point of view. I would also take an active part in any programs and try to come up with some innovative fundraising events. ERIC TENCATE SCHNATTERLY As a USG Senator I would emphasize direct student representa tion, seeking to promote the greatest amount of student input. Because of my past experience with the USG, serving as senator and committee member of both Transportation and the Student Appoint. ment Review Board during the 12th Congress, I need not spend precious time for orientation, but rather can devote all efforts towards obtaining the greatest amount of relevant student issues and acting on them. Please allow me to address the issues that concern you! Centre Halls PATRICK J. BUCKLEY As member of the Federal Liaison staff of Political Affairs, I have gained valuable knowledge on how the USG functions. If elected as a senator of Centre Halls, I will use this knowledge when attending C.H.R.A. and senatorial meetings, when organizing students opinions and when representing my constituents. I am enthusiastic, hardwork ing, and productive so vote and allow me to prove myself. BRAD DESCH Centre Halls we're in this together. The days of resume motivated and "donothing" senators are over. As a freshman senator from Pollock Dorms, I'm a part of the change. A leader in SOFAR Week, student rights, and student awareness I have the experience needed to serve Centre effectively. Planning to live here for three years, I have the time to help build the strongest student governent anywhere. Centre Halls we're in this together. ELIZABETH A. SAYLOR I, Beth Saylor, would continue the present effort by USG to increase its credibility and effectiveness among the students and administration. My underclassman ranking and my considerable knowledge of the workings of USG offer a small step towards this goal. I also hope to further USG's actions towards financial aid cutbacks and realize the need to increase student awwareness concerning the semester system switch. I would like to take an active role in the best interests of those students I would represent. East I KEITH E. BURRIS A senator is a representative of the students. if I am elected, I'll be voicing your opinions and viewpoints in regard to university policies. Rather than make a promise I won't be able to keep, I'll make one that I can: so that I can represent you well, I will give of my time to make myself available to you and listen to your views. Your voice WILL be heard if you vote for me. GREGORY J. TOUHILL From the moment that a student enters Penn State he or she faces many serious problems. Financial aid cuts, the proposed change from the term system to semesters, the simultaneous departure of the Oswald administration, and overcrowding of dorms are all problems that one faces. The student government of Penn State represents everyone at Penn State and is currently working .on the above mentioned Issues. As a USG Senator, I would bring my experience of living In the Towers for the past three years to represent the Towers. I am against the simultaneous change of the semester system and the transition of administration. I also do not favor Reagan's aid cuts as they stand. The USG Senate Is a means by which the students can voice and act upon their complaints against Penn State. I would be accessible to my constituency and try to best represent them. • East II DARRYL B. DAISEY As your USG Senator this past year I have stood up for East Halls on many occasions. I feel senators should represent their areas first, then USG. I think after three years I know the people and their needs as well as how to get things done in the area. This year I have established communications with many student organizations and administrators. I feel this will make me an even more effective senator for the coming year. President/Vice-President ANDY LEISNERIBOB NOLEN Four major goals of the Leisner•Nolen ad ministration are; forming a task force of con cerned Penn State 'students, establishing a General Assembly of student organizations, dealing with all facets of higher education cutbacks, and conducting a fund raiser to benefit Pattee Library. The Task Force, which already has a poten tial 50 members, will serve as a pool of volun teer manpower.. They will be the backbone of all future USG endeavors, the success of which will depend on them. They will also serve as a form of Public Relations for USG, something that is sorely needed. The General Assembly will be composed of all registered student organizations at Penn State. The Assembly will meet once a term and will serve as a forum for various viewpoints, as well as a place for organizations to solicit membership. Our administration will continue to fight education aid cutbacks. Just as importantly, we will work to educate students on the effect of cutbacks and how to cope with them. We will also solicit more scholarships from busi nesses, since it is in their interest to do so. Finally, we will set up a USG scholarship fund. A fourth goal of our administration will be to hold a fund raiser for Pattee Library. The library is something we all have in common and it's continued well being is to all our interests. Andy Leisner and Bob Nolen are the only alternative to a tired and ineffective USG. Join us and together we will make it work. Senators DONALD L. DAVIS During my first year here at Penn State University I have grown concerned and interested in the problems and 'relationships of the students at the college. I have tried to do my part to enrich life here at Penn State as an active member of a number of student organizations such as WDFM, WEHR and the Race Relations Board. I have become involved In many phases of student life here at Penn State. I am also a member of the Black Scholars program and have participated In many of the special activities and programs here such as the IFC Dance Marathon and Brotherhood Day preparation. Not only am I well acquainted with the various functions and branches of the USG but I'm a humanist who feels that government should work for the individual in society as well as the group or broader Issue. As a candidate and a student I will work for you, with you and never in spite of you. Together we can insure that USG works as an Instrument for the entire university community. RONALD L. HICKS, JR. Do you know what a USG Senate is?? Many don't, thus demanding a change: a new face that is determined to expand communication to you about USG. A member of the University choirs, Penn State Singers, fencing club, and Alpha Lambda Delta, and a two-year resident of East Halls, I have heard the students' needs and Intend to voice them. Bring USG to you by electing me to the USG Senate. BETH REISMAN The office of U.S.G. senator is one that carries with it the utmost in responsibility. I feel that I am a qualified, mature individual, and I will do my best to represent you the student. One of my major objectives will be to enhance the quality of campus life. My past experience includes serving my high school as Student Government President in addition to being the Staten Island representative. With sincere thanks for your support, lam looking forward to serving you with great enthusiasm. ANNETTE TORCHIA My main priorities in running for the USG Senate consist of maintaining close contacts with the constituents, and making the USG's uses and services more accessable to students and their needs. My previous experience in dealing with student governments has given me valuable insight to the workings of organizations and the input required to get things done. By use of these assets acquired, I will earnestly strive to promote the best interests of the constituents of East Halls, and serve to voice their opinions and needs to the Undergraduate Student Government. East 111 DARNELL K. DAISEY As an East Halls Senator for the last 1 1 / 2 years, I have agressively sought Input from the student body and strongly voiced student concerns to both USG and the administration. If reelected I would continue my efforts to improve student representation to administrative committees. I also hope to continue my role as an information source. My long experience in student government and in dealing with the administration hopefully gives me enough knowledge to answer many questions about this university. KELLI CHESTNUT As a senator, my first objective would be to derive a suitable alternative to the present means of submitting dorm contracts. I would also try to achieve a more personal relationship, than presently exists, between myself as a senator and the students I would represent. Already, students have come to me with their suggestions. To serve the student would be my main reason for existing. Let me work for you. Nittany Halls CHARLES J. BLACKWELL It is my belief that the student body deserves a voice in the direction of their lives here at Penn State. I believe that voice should come from one of their own kind. A fellow student who cares about their problems, someone who is tired of seeing "Joe Public" being kicked around by biased personnel. I am that voice. I feel that with the views of the students who elect me into office, all Undergraduates will be heard, all matters brought before the Senate for approval or disapproval will be reviewed carefully, with all parties involved taken into full consideration. Don't you think it is time "YOU" were heard? THOMAS K. MILLER Establishment of an effective student lobby in Harrisburg and Washington to work not only for student aid and education but also for other vital concerns such as low-cost off-campus housing and public transportation. —A student voice in the selection of the new University President —An end to discrimination against sororities and other archaic rules and regulations —Aiational solutions to dorm lines —Better maintenance and facilities In Nittany North Halls KAREN M. MOORE WE ARE ... PENN STATE. Is this familiar chant a reality or just an ideal? Do we, the students, truly have the power to influence the decisions of the administration? I believe that the treasured voices of the students are somehow silenced, one fine example being the controversial semester switch. If I am elected senator, my goals are to inform the students of their opportunities. Come on P.S.U. students. Let's make the chant a reality. EMIL PARVENSKYIJIM McJUNKIN Student Government can and must deliver more effective services to the students of Penn State. With continuity and long-term planning, we can achieve this goal. We feel the new executives must address the following issues as an obligation to pre sent and future Penn State students. FINANCIAL AID We will continue fighting aid reductions, exploring every possible ave nue. 'RISING TUITION The radical trend in financial aid reduction makes the upcoming tuition hike an even greater concern. We sup port the organizing of P.S.A.S.R.U. (Pennsylva• nia State Association of State Related Universities), which will finally bring effective student lobby to Harrisburg. CALENDAR CONVERSION Through Aca demic Assembly, we will utilize student coun cil aid from each college to examine the conversion's affects individually, thus break ing an insurmountable task Into more easily manageable parts. MINORITY AFFAIRS The Minority recuit ment/retention system at Penn State is a farce. We must promote Penn State to minority communities by actively attracting students to the university and helping them feel unalie nated once here. STUDENTS RIGHTS We will establish a Students Rights Committee to investigate students' accusations of academic violations, and see that appropriate action is taken. INTERNAL AFFAIRS To provide effective student services, U.S.G. must increase internal communication between ALL branches of stu dent government. LONG-TERM PLANNING U.S.G. must formulate strong, consistent long-term goals concerning perpetual issues, e.g. tuition, finan cial aid, Minority. recruitment/retention, and student/administration relations, which every U.S.G. administration must deal with. Penn State students must decide, for them selves, what issues are crucial and who will take proper action. THE DECISION IS YOURS VOTE Parvensky/McJunkin The Daily Collegian Tuesday, March 30, MATTHEW WOLFORDI ROBERT McGONIGLE Who are your senators? They're making decisions about giving away money they've made from you, but unless you belong to an Interest group of some sort, you're probably not getting any of it. And you can. We believe that as President and Vice President, we should concentrate our initial efforts on small er problems; getting your senators to go out and meet their students, finding out what those students want for their individual areas, and if feasible, getting it done for them. No USG has effectively taken that first step In recent years. If you were to see things done, even small 'things, you may be motivated to voice some support. That's where the power is. Bill Cluck has dealt with some critical issues: financial aid cutbacks, the calendar conversion. He has opened some doors, but he's done a lot of on his own. We would like to continue with what he's done; however, we don't look forward to turning blue •in the face talking to that brick wall called Old Main unless we thought we could get something accomplished. Without more support, we wouldn't, regardless of how right we happened to be. Old Main might be in a position to Like us more seriously, though, if they thought they were listening to the stu dents and not just USG. We really think that to get that kind of support, USG has to prove itself. Let's face it, if Rob and I couldn't prove our credibility with you students, we sure as hell couldn't prove it with Old Main. And how do we prove anything with you? Through your senators. Let's get back to the basics. RITA Y. CHUANG My purpose far running for Senator is to act as a messenger, to bring up issues at U.S.G. meetings, that concern the students in North Halls. I would also act as a messenger between North Halls' students and University administrators. One of my goals is to make sure that the people in North Halls are well informed by the University regarding issues that effect them. Such issues include the semester change and financial aid cuts. Pollock Halls JOAN M. WASSIL I've gained valuable experience in the USG as an appointed Senator. I hope to continue to actively participate in the planning and -operation of programs that benefit the student body. Students are sometimes unaware of relevant issues, and I will meet them to disseminate information and to hear their needs and opinions. I strongly encourage this interchange, which will enable me to properly represent undergraduates by vocalizing and voting for their concerns. South Halls DAVID H. BRANDSCHAIN My goals are: 1) to strengthen communication between USG and the student body by newsletters, open forums etc. 2) to continue support of programs like; a)SOFAR its momentum must be maintained ... b)Summer Jobs Program —students must find alternate ways to finance their education. c)Health Expo, Horizons, bus services etc. which aid students in their daily lives at Penn State. 3)To ensure that Calendar Conversion is effected smoothly and with the student body's best interests considered. JOSEPH W. LENZI JOHN E. SHAVINSKY The senate of USG is dedicated to the service of the students. Furthermore, each senator must represent the feelings, attitudes, and opinions of those whom he or she represents. To that end, I do hereby announce this platform. 1)To urge the administration to reassess the calendar conversion in view of the recent unrest. 2)To lobby for continuing opposition to financial aid reductions. 3)To provide additional student services through direct senate sponsorship. SANDRA DEE WILLIAMS If elected to the position of USG Senator, there will be ample communication between the Senate and my constituents. Currently, the USG's Secretary, I found my enthusiasm was directed more toward the position of Senator; where I could become actively involved in the various issues facing the undergraduates. I am a person of dedication; I would not be one who was "too busy" to fulfill the obligations I would have in retaining such a position. West Halls MARC WARREN WATREL USG needs to establish credibility among administrators and students. An organization establishes credibility by consistently proving to be useful and viable to whomever it serves. If re-elected, my experience as an USG senator would be useful in helping establish consistency and credibility, as I already understand the workings of USG and know what helps and hinders it. I plan to continue to oppose the financial aid reductions and I will continue to support the proposal of a USG scholarship. USG is here to help students and to be the voice of the students in the face of the administration. I can help make that voice strong and heard. ANITA DOMALIK QUALITY SHOWS ... I'm a member of USG's Academic Assembly, which works on tutoring, academics, and Calendar Conversion; I'm the Assembly's liaison to the USG Senate, a member of the Race Relations Board, /Ind USG Political Affairs, fighting hard against financial aid cuts. THREE ORGANIZATIONS —THREE ISSUES: Edu cation,,Getting along with people, Economic survival The issues West Halls cares about. This is what YOUR USG Senate should work for. It will, if you elect ANITA DOMALIK. CHARLES T. SEDLACKO As your representative, I will be receptive to all your ideas and complaints. Not only will I work hard to promote new programs to the USG, but I will also pass on and publicizp all USG programs to my constituents of West Halls. I will encourage an active involvement of all students in these programs in a bold attempt to remove the alienation of the students from theirgovernment. LARRY MAKOWSKI Endorsements? Experience in PSU student politics? None. I am not running for office to add any'flashy titles to my credentials or to move up Penn State's ladder of student political success. I am running In a sincere attempt to use my past experiences and training to better inform West Halls students about what's going on in this university and voice their concerns to the USG and administration. Promises? To represent my constituency and fulfill obligations. 0 U• 268
