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. He said the ages

work for the big newspapers, you
must first show a commitment to the
business and an ability to work
hard," said Anthony Marro, manag
ing editor for Newsday.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Studies has discussed the legality of the service
and is concerned about possible copyright issues.
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.”

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. ”
