4—The Daily Collegian Thursday, Ocl. 23, 'I9BG Pros offer tips on media careers By CHRISTINE METZGER Collegian Staff Writer To find a job in journalism, stu dents were advised to show commit ment and dedication to the craft by a distinguished panel of print and broadcast journalists yesterday at a question and answer session held in Kern Graduate Building. “If you want to be a reporter, you must find a way to write and then demonstrate dedication and tenaci ty,” said Dave Jones, national editor of The New York Times. Jones, a 1954 graduate of Penn State and former editor for the The Daily Collegian, recommended that students “gain as much experience as you can writing, .reporting, and editing.” Members of the panel also em phasized persistence as a key factor in the job hunt. “Don’t end a cover letter with ‘please call me.’ Instead, try ‘l’ll call you to set up an interview.’ Getting an interview is the name of the game,” said Loren Ghiglione, editor and pub lisher of Southbridge, Mass.’ The News. Students who dream of immedi ately landing a job in a big eastern newspaper were warned to plan dif ferently. “Find a good regional newspaper where you can spend a few years writing a broad range of stories. To Children of alcoholics face barriers, prof says Adult children of alcoholics must “let go and grow” to overcome bar riers keeping them from developing positive emotional relationships, the co-founder of the National Associa tion for Children of Alcholics said last night. “For many adult children of alco holics, home is the one place they have to go eyen if they don’t deserve it,” said Robert J. Ackerman, profes sor of sociology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Ackerman, author of Children oj Alcoholics and consultant for the ABC-TV movie Shattered Spirits, said the nation has 28. G million chil dren of alcoholics. Of those, 22 million are adults who can be distinguished as people who have gone through pain in troubled families but will not lose sight of their ability to function.

Ghiglione, who rebuilt a failing newspaper early in his career, en couraged students to consider options other than big newspapers. “There are possibilities for people who want to do things on their own. Interesting opportunities exist which are not involved with big newspa pers,” he said. “It’s also important to think of the trade-offs that exist when you work in a large corporate environment with people always trying to get ahead,” Ghiglione said. Paul Duke, moderator for the tele vision program "Washington Week in Review” and senior PBS correspon dent, recommended that students who seek careers in broadcasting get the “nuts and bolts training” in the newspaper atmosphere. Norman Isaacs, author and former editor for the Louisville COurier- Journal, ended the session with some firm advice. “Recognize the power of the medi um you have access to and have respect for your audience so that you tell the stories honestly and clearly. If you have so much ego that you are more interested in your own mes sage, then do not enter the commu nications field,” he said. between 25 and late 30s are high developmental stages when family issues arise. He said college students assume they can escape a problem by getting away, but that it’s still there and sometimes causes resentment to in crease. They take themselves too seriously, struggle for control, become obsessed with success to validate their self worth, take on too many responsibili ties and suffer from emotional fa tigue, he said Ackerman advised children of alco holics to keep in mind that their lives come first when they go home for holidays. They must remember they are not there to change their family but should try to come to peace with themselves and their past experi ences, he said.

The day was high lighted by speakers, films, folk singers, slide shows and live performers. by Kerry Gildea WIN a cheeses teak from Rick’s Place hul CO 3 Nabil Salk (graduate-mineral engineering), right, takes information about abuses agains Jews from Joshua First, vice president of Yachad, at Human Human Rights Day sparks controversy By SUSAN KEARNEY Collegian Staff Writer Human Rights Day was not intended as a forum for controversy, but leaders of a few student organizations said they were angry be cause they were not informed of the event until it was too late to prepare a presentation. “Basically, the International Student Council wasn’t real up front and did not include various groups on campus,” said Josh First, vice presi dent of the pro-Israeli student organization Ya chad. Chaquir Achahbar, chairman of the committee for Human Rights Day, said he tried to invite all interested groups. Achahbar, ISC vice president and member of the Muslim Student Association, said he announced a general invitation at a meeting of the Minority’s Panel, the ISC, Collo quy and the Graduate Student Association. He also informed Undergraduate Student Govern ment President Matt Baker. in'the morning Achahbar was accused by First of keeping the day’s agenda secret from student groups with which he had political differences. However, Achahbar said the event was not biased, adding that the absence of some groups may be due to a lack of advertising for the program. First said the scope of the human rights issues emphasized was too narrow. He said the ISC only included Middle Eastern and South African is sues in the main events of the day, leaving out other important human rights issues including Soviet Jewry and gay and lesbian rights. “I think that our group should have been involved because gay rights is an issue not only here but worldwide,” said Sim David Aberson, co-director of the Lesbian and Gay Student Alliance. He said his organization was never asked to participate and that he was unaware of Human Rights Day until the morning of the event. Although Yachad was just made aware about the event Monday afternoon, it managed to present a table of literature, said President Andrew Grosse. He said Yachad was not given enough time to invite a speaker or bring a film. Rights Day in the HUB Ballroom yesterday.

Beaver Ave. 238-2862 26 years contact lens experience member American Optometric Association Jenifer Bolden, co-director of USG’s Depart ment of Minority Affairs and member of the Human Rights Day committee, said Achahbar announced the event but never extended an invitation to groups at the Minority Panel. But Achabhar said, “I did say we were accept ing more participants ” Grosse said Achahbar did not make it clear at the Minority Panel meeting that other groups could still participate. “I think there should have been formal invita tions sent out to individual groups,” Grosse said. Bolden said she was unaware of the organiza tions involved, the speakers and the films to be shown until two days before the event, when she saw a finalized program. Bolden said she thought the event was slightly biased because it emphasized certain human rights issues and completely left out others. “I did disseminate (the invitation) the best that I could,” Achahbar said. Sue Sturgis, USG vice president, said that when USG agreed to co-sponsor the program it was unaware that such a narrow range of human rights issues would be represented. She added USG would be willing to sponsor another human rights day to include a broader group. r A llfl «um niwn If you're an Aerospace, Aeronautical or Astronomical Engineering Major, you'll want to be part of today's Air Force.

Call 1-800-USAF-REC Collegian Photo Profs debate note-taking service By JIM HIGGINS Collegian Staff Writer Owners of a note-taking service for University students are optimistic about the progress of their new business, but University officials and profes sors differ on whether the service is ethical. Founded by brothers Jack (senior-mineral eco nomics) and James Reeder this summer, Nittany Notes, 117 E. Beaver Ave., offers notes for more than 100 University courses. Although some University professors say the service is legitimate provided the notes are accurate others say it may influence students to skip classes. University officials are still investi gating the issue. “We’re not out to step on any professor’s toes,” said Jack Reeder. “If it has existed at other universities why should it be any problem here?” James Reeder said. The service is available to students enrolled in courses with average class sizes of 125 to 150 students. Top students in the classes are paid $3 a lecture to take notes, which are then typed, copied and sold to University students, James Reeder said. A similar note-taking service is available at the University of California at Berkeley and the Uni versity of Missouri in Columbia, Mo.

James Reeder, a State College resident, said that to his knowledge the service has received only one complaint from a University professor, whom he refused to name. Reeder said the complaint came at the beginning of the semester but that since then there has been “positive feedback” from professors. However, business law Professor Benjamin Henszey, whose class is one of the courses that the service sells notes for, said he thinks the service is “superfluous.” It would not be worth it for students to buy notes because his business law course offered a supple ment guide to the textbook, he said. “In a fast-paced course you’re not going to get all the information, so (the service) is a helpful addition,” James Reeder said. He explained that students liked the service and said he believes professors are not against it as long as the notes are accurate. “(The professors) know we are marketing it not as a substitute but as a supplement,” James Reeder said. “I think it’s great,” said Julia Kunkle (sopho more-microbiology). Although she said she does not skip her Biology 41 class, Kunkle said she uses the service to supplement her own notes and that it helps her to “understand what’s going on in class.” Chairman of Undergraduate Instruction Judd • A $25 calculator was reported • Two fire extinguishers each va- Taylor, 20-L Vairo Blvd., Tuesday lued at $79 were reported missing by afternoon from Rec Hall’s men’s Earl Hudson, 10 Packer, Tuesday locker room, University police said. • The Penn State Objectivist Club • The lIUB Craft Centre will hold an open house at 7 tonight in 312 HUB. 10/24& 25 10/26 8:00 p.m. 214 Boucke 10/23- P.S.

SPECIAL EVENT Ag Arena Arnold said he did not know of any action that could be taken against the service. “The people who are providing the service may be copyrighting what they are selling,” and the Faculty Senate committee has to find out “to what extent faculty would copyright their own notes,” Arnold said. Although James Reeder said that nothing is definite, copyrighting the notes is a possibility. “You would have to have permission from a professor to copyright,” he explained. James Reeder said the service’s reason behind copyrighting the notes would be “just so people can’t copy our notes.” “We don’t want people who take the class giving (notes) to their friends,” James Reeder said, adding that this was because students who buy the notes could give them to their friends to make copies. James Reeder explained that students have to sign an agreement when they buy the notes saying they will not let others make copies. Arnold said he is against the service because “students can cut classes as they please” and still get the notes. Jack Reeder disagreed, saying that the service might “create incentive to miss class, but so does a sunny day.” Roy Olofson, chemistry professor, who teaches organic chemistry at the University, a class the service also offers notes for, said he has not seen the notes but “anything that helps the student learn is all right with me. ” S: Specialty Advertising Mr. & Ms. College of Ag Contest Pledge Meeting Regional Conference Forum Folkdancing/Teaching General General General General General Ave., between Monday and Tuesday, State College Bureau of Police Serv ices said. • A videotape recorder and two tapes valued at $340 were reported missing by Angela Pipher, 2 Ritner, from her room Tuesday morning, University police said. —by Gordon Zernich • The American Society of Me chanical Engineering will hold a hu man powered vehicle meeting at 6:45 tonight on the first floor of Mechani cal Engineering Building. • The Forestry Society will meet at 6:30 tonight in 105 Ferguson.
