At Northwestern, the campus bar's official title (I believe) was The
Gathering Place, although everyone knew it simply as The Bar. The Bar closed
down last year due to too many underage students getting in and rapidly
declining attendance, so yes, I would venture to say that a campus bar is not
such a social centre (unless it doesn't card). There are, however, certain
off-campus bars that are considered to be hot spots. I think there is somewhat
of a contradiction in a campus-sponsored bar where the majority of students
are underage, and that is why off-campus joints seem to be livelier. I'd like
to hear what anyone else has to say about this.

'Tis that time.. you are a college student and you need to do something with
yourself in the summer.  The only question is WHAT? Do you

1) Do somehting not that exciting and make some $$$?

or

2) Do something possibly exciting that doesn't make much $, but is a great thing to go on a resume or grad. school application?

or
3) Do something really exciting/fun, make no $$, and possibly have it go on
a resume etc?

This is the problem I am facing in starting my job search this summer.  Also

1) Go Home

r

2) Stay around school area.

I am a first year student at Macalester and I think that there are many more
things available now that I hav e completed one year of college then last
summer ofr before because I had not done/been in college.  Correct me if I
am wrong though.

So does anyone have any answers to these questions.. or suggestions on jbobs
(er jobs) or anyhting of relevance to the subkject.  We could get a thread
going if there was sufficant interest.. cc any follow-up to me but if you
forget I'll hopefully see it here as well...

For various reasons that I'd rather not get into, the faculty at Muskingum
College are considering forming a union.  Of course, the proponents of unions
have brought in several organizers who paint a relatively promising picture of
the benefits of unionization.  It seems to be more difficult for opponents to
find sources presenting the downside of unions.

If you have any experience with faculty unions, I would be very interested to
hear from you, either via email or a followup discussion.  I'm very
uncomfortable making a decision when only one side has been presented.

After reading this thread, I think everyone should be let in on
exactly what is going here. Here goes:

Very recently, in fact the day after Greg posted his message, Wash U's
student paper Student Life ran an article about the student
government's compensation for its officers. An SU (the government)
senator conducted a study of 20 schools and found that Wash U's
compensation was, what I will call, unusual. The study had some pretty
big time schools in it (I have thrown away the article...). I believe
that SU is now conducting its own survey about the issue.

Much of the debate comes at a time when SU (and many other campus
organizations; SU being real big and very powerful) has budget
problems and funding across the board has been cut. In fact, SU seems
to be trying to do all it can to preserve programs with the money it
has, but lately their publicity has been very poor and if the recent
election turnout was any indication, the student morale is very low to
say the least. It is a bad situation and the recent
salary/compensation issue has not helped any.

I just thought everyone should be clear on where (I think this was
coming from..)...

Feel free to email directly, but I'll deal with flames in the only way
I know...by flaming back...

Three basic laws of unions:

   1) Your pay increases

   2) Union dues usually equal your pay increase from #1

   3) The cost of whatever service you are providing increases
      (in this case, tuition will either increase or budget
      cutbacks will be made)

Subject: Financial Aid Computer Program?
Date: 28 Jan 93 08:05:24 GMT
Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services  (408 241-9760 guest)

The application for financial aid for college students is put through
a computer and the computer spits out a number which determines whether
or not you will get financial aid.  Wouldn't it be nice to see what
you're going to get before you send the application in?  Wouldn't it be
nice to try what-if values and see if you can increase your eligibility
for financial aid?  Wouldn't it be a surprise to find out that the cost
of going to Harvard University is the same as going to State University?

I am thinking of writing a shareware program that does these calculations.
I have a Pascal version of it working right now but it's now pretty
outdated due to the major changes in financial aid this year and the 
user-interface stinks because I only wanted numbers, not pretty screens
at the time.  I want to write an updated C version of it and market it 
as cheap ($5 registration fee) shareware. 

But I forsee a few problems:

1)  Is the formula the government uses public domain or is it copyrighted?
Would I be able to sell my program when I use their formula?

2)  Am I repeating someone else's effort to provide cheap or free 
financial aid calculation programs to students?  Basically, I want
to know what are any existing packages that does the above.

  I'm a French student currently studying Computing For Real Time Systems at
The University of the West in England, Bristol and hopefully will be 
graduating this year. After that, I would like to further my education in a
American university. As yet, I have no details of any such establishments in
America, and I would be very grateful if anybody could send me information
regarding computer courses within all American Universities.
  
  Also it would be very helpful to me, if people could send me any personal
views that they have about life in any American University.

 Could all responses be posted to me via this news group.


 Many thanks for your help.

A good source of information on American Universities and their
courses is the American Embassy. There are also several publications
which should be available in your college library with info. on
colleges in the states and on funding which is a major issue 
stateside.
