"We'd like to clean the stream running through the park so the park can be opened again, but we'll just have to wait until the results are in." Frank Furl, president of Citizens and Laborers for Environmental Action Now (CLEAN), said it would be ridiculous to clean the stream first if the site would continue to leak contamination into the stream. "The only sensible approach would be to wait and clean both the site and the stream at the same time," Furl said.

"In the future, we are going to make an effort to try to provide leadership that deals with the budget ary constraints we are under and to continue the quality of service," he said. "I've been generally happy with the course that we've set." Horn said he felt confident that the election would be in his favor, and that he was looking forward to work ing with the two incumbent commis sioners.

The remedial investigation phase began in July and is still being conducted. The investigation involved taking samples from the buildings to determine the extent of contamination and taking , an aquatic survey of the fish, water and sediment in Bald Eagle Creek and the west branch of the Susquehanna River. Additional samples were taken from mon itoring wells on the site to provide additional information on groundwater contamination.

In addition, Horn said he would like to see several local government offices kept open during the lunch hours so that more site has affected those aspects of the envi ronment. All of the samples were then sent to laboratories for testing. The test results will be compiled and a formal report will be released. • Luffy said there will be "some delay" in releasing this report because of the uncer tainty of when the results will be returned to EPA.

Latta said candidates must have at least 24 credits and a grade point average of 2.5 or higher. Applicants with a discipline record at the University are not accepted, he said. Because the University has one of the largest groups of residence hall students in the country more than 12,000 it also has one of the laigest RA programs, Diuckenbroci said. "To serve the needs of such a large popula tion, we put a lot of time into selecting and training residence hall assistants," he said. In phase one of the selection process, a team of staff members and six or more current RAs interviews a group of six candi dates. Each candidate is then individually interviewed by two members of the team. Druckenbrod said candidates in phase one are involved in a group task. The interviewers then evaluate them on certain traits and behaviors that might be related to what they would do as an RA. "Some of the roles that a typical RA would be involved in would be counselor, educator, friend, disciplinarian generally a person who lives on the floor who students can go to as a resource person," he said. Those successfully completing phase one select a residence hall area and are inter viewed for a position in that area, he said. Usually, this phase consists of individual mation and then appointed acting dean of the school before eventually becoming dean, she said.

The course that candidates must take, Counselor Education 302, is one of the best of its kind, he said. It was designed at the University and has been implemented at other schools across the country. The course has been taught for almost 10 years, but is constantly undergoing changes as students' needs and population change, he said. It is taught by both staff members and current resident assistants. Ben Bristol, a resident assistant, said he thinks resident assistants' input into the se lection process is helpful.

Boyle said the presentation by Zim merman will strengthen support of the bill, although he added that he is not aware of any opposition to its renewal. "We've been successful in various prosecutions that we would not have been without the use of wiretaps," DeCaro said. DeCaro, chief of the special investi gations unit in Philadelphia, said the use of wiretaps occurs "a lot" in many large criminal investigations in the Philadelphia area.

I really would like to stress that each evaluation that is turned in by students is read by a professional staff member," Druckenbrod said. The basis of supervisor evaluations includ es the RA's participation in educational pro gramming in the residence halls and how well they have worked with students to enrich their experiences as residence hall students, he said. Latta said RAs receive grants-in-aid, which pay for room and board and partial tuition. This year, the grants pay for one-half of the tuition, he said. . vision requires that state legislatures periodically evaluate the effective ness of many of the laws, Boyle said: Sen. J.
