CSR
Maintenance
Change
By TOM ANGELO
Maintenance workers from Jani-tro
n ic s—who oversee maintenance,
house-keeping, and set-up services at
CSR—will be leaving Janitronics to
work for the College of Saint Rose,
according to Andrew Harnichar,
Director of Information and Planning.
Harnichar says that, hopefully by
July 1, 1990, Janitronics employees
will be reporting to Michael Ko-walczak,
the Director of Physical
Plant. Kowalczak has recently been
made responsible for all CSR buildings
maintenance.
According to Harnichar, the goal of
the transition is "improved maintenance
services.” He adds, ”It is our
hope that, should we be able to
successfully negotiate a contract with
Janitronics, they will continue their
housekeeping and set-up services.’*

Advanced Independent Photographic
Study traditionally concludes each
semester with a week long exhibit.
This year unsurprisingly catered to
everyones expectations by providing
the high print quality that has become
the reputation for students in this
course.
The artists’ statements that follow
will aid one in more fully understanding
what each artist sought to
tackle by fusing his/her theme with a
representative photographic image. Of
course, viewing the prints in conjunction
with their intended thematic
s tatements proves most rewarding,
and does justice to viewer and artist.
"These photographs constitute a
creative collaboration between myself and
my five year old son, Andre. Our
intention was to explore his imagination
as well as those environments which are
condusive to that imagination.”
—Desiree Krueger
"Music is everything to me . . . sure
it's tough sometimes, playing in front of a
hunch of strangers—most of whom are
too drunk to care. But you do it. Yeah,
it's lonely too—sometimes you can feel
like you’re the only one there, all alone
on stage singing to yourself. But man, it
never heats those times when it's pure
energy. The whole crowd is going, you're
going. The whole place is this big bundle
of energy and everyone's adrenalin is
pumping. It's incredible—it's really great.
But it can get real persoruil too. You put
your heart arul soul into some songs. You
know—sing from your gut. Every ounce
of energy you have you pour into that one
song, give it everything you’ve got and
before you know it, it’s over . . . then you
do it all over again . . . ”
•—one musician, Cathy Cassese
"I felt certain that interesting design
elements could be found in what might
ordinarily he considered banal subject
matter. Using a process of selective image
cropping to suppress any concern for
literal subject matter, the content becomes
line, texture, and space.—

Congratulations to Trevor, Desiree

melded theme/intention with photographic

the group to wish seniors well at the
end of their undergraduate careers.
Seniors will then be welcomed as
"almost-alums” by a representative of
the Alumni Association. In addition,
the type of senior gift selected by the
re cent ''B e g in n in g s . . . *90” poll
will be announced.
Plan to attend this party . . . the
snacks will be plentiful, and it’s a
once-in-'a-lifetime chance to be waited

Collegians in Virginia, Rhode Island
Face Nation's Heftiest Tuition Hikes
The Sears-Roebuck Foundation
$ 1 ,0 0 0 T e a ch in g Excellence a n d
Campus Leadership Award went to
Kristine F. Herrick, assistant professor
of advertising design. The College also
received an additional grant o f
$1,500. The program is administered
by Dr. Leonard T. Grant, president.
Independent College Fund of New
York, Inc.
College President Louis C. Vaccaro
said, "We are of course delighted with
these most recent awards, which will
be used to strengthen and improve the
College. Most significant is the fact
that the awards go directly to students
and faculty, the very heart of The
College of Saint Rose.”
(CPS)—In what may be the most
drastic tuition hikes in the nation,
education leaders in Rhode Island and
Virginia at the end of March an-nounced
they would hike rates for the
1990-91 school year by as much as 21
percent.
I t ’s still too early to figure a
national average for 1990-91 increases,
but so far it appears that most
collegians will pay an average of about
7 percent more for school next year.
Citing Rhode Is lan d ’s economic
slump, officials there said they will
ask students to pay 9 percent more
for tuition next year. The money will
help make up for a $13 million
shortfall in state funding for higher
education.
Students are willing to accept the
higher-than-average hikes, says Mike
McGee, a student government leader
at the University of Rhode Island.
"Those tuition hikes are the maximum
amount which we can absorb,”
he said. "The other problems facing
the university are too severe for us to
complain about tuition hikes.”
Rhode Island collegians, McGee
says, worry more about the university
being able to recruit students, attract
good faculty and secure research
funding. "W e ’re more concerned
about preserving our education,
period.”
In Virginia, where legislators recently
finalized a 5 percent budget cut
in higher education, George Mason
University wants to raise its prices 9.4
percent to $2,508 per year. For out-of-
state students, tuition and fees may
increase by as much as 21.5 percent.
At the University of Virginia, a 9.6
percent hike for residents and a 14.8
percent increase for out-of-s ta te
s tu d en ts is under cons ideration.
Students at Norfolk State University
are looking at paying 15 to 16 percent
more next year in tuition.

Until I became the Editor of The
Chronicle, I never understood how
important the student newspaper is to
a college community. Once I realized
that, I began by endeavor to lead my
staff in producing the best paper we
possibly could, to best serve the
students of CSR.
There have been quite a few
changes in your student newspaper in
the past year. Most noticeably, the
name was changed from Inscape to
The Chronicle. Prompted by He ath
P, Boice, SA VP of Communications
1988-89 and 89-90, this was a much-needed
and refreshing change.
Our new masthead was designed by
CSR Graphic Design student Carl
Mattison, and it helped give the
paper a great new look. Both Carl and
Heath are graduating this May, and
The Chronicle staff wishes both of
them the best of luck.
J u s t G ra p h ic s to o k over the
production of the paper, with outstanding
results. Jack Labanauskas
and Sharon Donato care as much
about the paper as The Chronicle staff
does and we are looking forward to
working with them next year.
This year a new co n s titu tio n for
the student newspaper was passed.
After a great deal of research, a new
co n s titu tio n with improved staff
s tru c tu re and bylaws to facilitate
operations was approved by the
Student Assembly.
Our new advisor, Gary McLouth,
has been supportive and trusting all
year—a student leader’s dream. The
staff thanks Gary for his confidence in
us, and we look forward to spending
more time with him next year.
There is an individual who has
shown great dedication to the Adult
and Continuing Education students
through The Chronicle. Graduate
intern Tom Dvorsack has coordinated
the N ig h tiin e section all year.
This is a valuable section for these
extraordinary students: an outlet for
their work and an organized area for
information expecially for ACE students.
Tom has worked hard all year
to bring this section to our community
and has done an outstanding
job.
Paula Alpa rt is a graduate student
who is in charge of the Community
Involvement program at CSR, aside
from her other duties. Paula is the
most dedicated and tireless individual
I have ever met. She is always trying
to spread the word about Community
Involvement and volunteering at CSR.
One way in which she does this is by
keeping in constant contact with the
newspaper office, submitting something
to each issue. Paula was also
responsible for the creation of the
Reaching O u t section of The Chron^
icle. Her commitment to volunteerism
is truly inspiring.
I would like to take this opportunity
to thank David Kisselback,
SA President 1988-89, for believing in
me and having confidence that I could
handle this job. David’s dedication to
the students of CSR has been and will
continue to be a great inspiration to
me in my obligation to the students of
CSR.
Each of my editors and columnists,
and all of my staff have been a joy to
work with. Congratulations to Lisa
Cassera on your graduation, good
luck at RIT, and thanks for that great
movie review that always made us
laugh. (Luckily, Lisa is the only staff
member I am losing at graduation.)
G lad y s Alcedo deserves special
recognition for her work as Photography
Editor this year. Special thanks
to Lisa Anne Vitillo, Arts Editor,
who put her section together almost
single-handedly, and who is always a
supportive and understanding friend.
To my officemates A n n Carter,
SEB C h a i rw om a n , and W e n d y
N o r tz , R e f le c tio n s E d i to r—SEB,
Reflections, Chronicle, Silver Bay,
Semi-formal, what haven’t we done?
W e ’ve got next year if there is
anything we’ve missed. Congratulations
on your appointment as ACUI
Region 2 Representative, Ann! Wendy,
see you next year as my new SA VP
of Communications!
Thanks to Dave ’’F o u r Eyes”
Render for going above and beyond
the call of duty when it came to
lending me his ear—usually without
an appointment.
Thanks to all of my personal
friends who somehow were always
there to listen and make recommendations
when I was excited, frustrated,
or ready to give up. Art, Joan, and
everyone else—hopefully I didn’t drag
you too far into my insanity!
I would like to wrap up my self-indulgence
by saying "See you next
year, CSR!” I will return to the
Editor’s post in the fall and am
looking forward to another year of
working with the people of CSR to
make the best newspaper we possibly
can.

annual graduation ceremony.
Commencement exercises will be
held at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, May
12 in C onvention Hall on the
Concourse level of the Nelson A.
Rockefeller Empire State Plaza.
Saint Ro$e will graduate the largest
class in its his to ry . The College
expects to award 852 degrees—478
Bachelors’ and 347 Masters’. In
anticipation of a large number of
people, the College is limiting tickets
to four per participating graduate.
Honorary degrees will be awarded
to Osgood, Sister Maureen Joyce,
RSM, and Robert H. Sloan.
C h a r le s O sg o o d lends his eX'
pressive face and unique personality
to the news every weekday morning
on CBS This Morning. His opinions on
world affairs and life in general are
compacted in to daily and weekly
segments o f television and radio
commentary known as The Osgood
File.
After earning a Bachelor’s degree in
economics from Fordham University
in 1954, Osgood held various mana^
gerial positions in broadcasting. He
then worked as a news reporter for
the ABC network from 1964-67.
In 1967 he began his career with
CBS, where he worked as an anchor-man
for WCBS in New York City
until 1972.
Osgood now co-anchors CBS Morning
News with Faith Daniels and anchors
news blocks for CBS. This Morning. He
is a frequent contributor to the CBS
Evening News with E)an Rather, and
Sunday Morning with Charles Kurault.
He also writes a twice-weekly, nationally
syndicated column for Tribune Media
Services.
Osgood has authored three books:
Nothing Could Be Finer Than a Crisis
That Is Minor in the Morning (1979,
Holt, Rinehart and Winston); There’s
Nothing I Wouldn’t Do If You Would
Be My POOSSLQ (1 9 8 1 , Holt,
Rinehart and Winston), andOsgood on
Speaking: How to Think On Your Feet
Without Falling on Your Face (1988,
William Morrow and Company).
He has been awarded honorary
degrees from St. Bonaventure University
and LeMoyne College in
recognition of his contributions to his
profession and to society.
His achievements have been recognized
with six professional awards, all
of which are as well-regarded as they
are well-known.
He received the George Foster
Peabody Award in 1985 and again in
1986. He has also been awarded the
highly respected "Best Broadcaster”
award from the Washington Journalism
Review for the past three years (1988-
1990), and this year received the
Broadcasting Hall of Fame Award
from the National Association of
Broadcasters.
Capital District businessman and
Massachusetts native R obe rt Hood
Sloan has made many contributions
to upstate New York during his long
career.
After service in the U.S. Navy
during the Second World War, he
s tu d ied at Lowell Technological
In s titu te (now the University of
Lowell), where he earned his Bachelor
o f Science degree in textile en gineering.
He began his career with Albany
In te rn a tio n a l as a manufacturing
trainee in 1950. After 34 years and a
succession of promotions in managerial
positions at the company, he
resigned as the company’s president
and chief executive in 1984. During
his tenure with the company, Sloan
saw Albany International grow from
two loca tions in the U.S. to an
international corporation with manufacturing
plants in 72 countries .
Albany International remains one of
the world’s largest manufacturers of
paper machine clothing (which aids in
the transformation of wood and fabric
pulp into paper products).
He joined Norstar Bank of Upstate
New York soon after his resignation
from Albany International. In 1984 he
began supervision of the installation
of Norstar’s corporate headquarters at
Union Station, the former home of
the New York Central Railroad,
located on Broadway in downtown
Albany. The involved restoration of
one o f Albany’s finest national
historic landmarks was completed in
less than two years under his direction.
Robert Sloan served as a dedicated
member of The College of Saint Rose
Board of Trustees from 1977-1986.
During his years on the Board, he
chaired the Finance Committee.
He cur rently serves on several
boards of directors of Capital District
organizations and businesses. Among
those institutions are: Norstar Bank,
St. P e te r’s Hospital Foundation,
Senior Service Centers of Albany, The
Albany YMCA, and the Schuyler
Meadows Club.
He and his wife, Valerie, have three
children: Robert J. Jr., Stephen R. and
Rebecca (Sloan) Tyrell. He lives with
his wife in Loudonville, NY.
Sister Maure en Joyce, RSM, an
Albany resident, graduated from the
Vincentian In s titu te in 1961. She
completed her Associate’s degree at
Maria College in 1965 and received
her Bachelor of Arts degree from The
College of Saint Rose in 1966. In
1964, before she received her degree
at Saint Rose, she began teaching at
Christ the King Elementary School in
Guilderland. She then held a position
as a medical social worker at St.
P e te r ’s Hospital in Albany from
1967-1969.
She followed two years of education
at the School of Social Welfare at the
State University of New York at
Albany with close involvement in the
Catholic Charities Organization in
Albany.
Her next professional position as
executive d ire c to r o f Community
Maternity Services combined both her
teaching and her social work experience
in an endeavor to help
pregnant teenagers. CMS o f the
Albany diocese, a division of Cathohc
Charities, was the result of pioneering
efforts on the part of Sister Joyce and
the Board of Trustees of Catholic
Charities . Founded in 1971, the
organization is devoted to the physical
and spiritual care of young mothers
and their infants.
In her work with CMS, Sister Joyce
led the organization from its start as a
local residence for nine pregnant
teenagers to a comprehensive program
with offices in Albany, Warren,
Washington, Herkimer, Schoharie,
Fulton, Montgomery, Rensselaer, and
Otswego counties.
She has chaired several local and
statewide groups seeking to deal with
teen pregnancy. She is also a member
of the St. Peter’s Hospital Board of
Trustees. Her work continues on a
national level with her active membership
in the National Organization of
Adolescent Pregnancy and Parenting.
Sister Joyce has made major presentations
to the March of Dimes in Los
Angeles; the National Conference of
Catholic Charities, and the New York
State Nurses Association. She also
delivered a report on her work to a
U.S. Senate Ap p ro p r ia tio n s Sub-
Committee Hearing on Health and
Human Services Education in 1981.

Class Agents A n n o u n c ed
By A lum n i Of f ice
The College of Saint Rose Office of
Alumni and Parent Relations is proud
to announce that Barbara Alexczuk
U*90 and Kari Gifford U ’9 0 have
accepted the invitation to become
Class Agents for the Class of 1990.
In addition to school, jobs, and an
anything-but-dull social life, these
young women managed to find callers,
do all the scheduling, send the
correspondence and tend to the
myriad of chores that needed to be
accomplished to complete a successful
Parents’ Phonathon. Due to their
efforts the College realized over
$ 2 2,000 in pledges for Parents
Division of the College Annual Fund.
This money is used for such needs as
books, computers, and scholarships.
Barbara and Kari are both education
majors and both claim Mohawk, New
York as home.
Why do you need to know who
your class agents are? Class agents
are your liaison with The College of
Saint Rose and your classmates. Their
voices will most likely be the ones
you can count on hearing from again.
They will be the ones who will
represent you and your class when
you have a reason to express your
ideas as to developments at your alma
mater. The class agent is an historic
part of the tradition at most private
colleges and partly accounts for our
ability to maintain a spirit of camaraderie
among our graduates and a
sense of loyalty and commitment to
the institution.
As time goes by, and you find
yourself distanced both physically and
socially from your friends at Saint
Rose, you will have many occasions
when you will want to "track down”
a former classmate. Even more, you
may want to assure that your friends
know what your new name is, that
you’ve moved to a new town, been
recently married, entered a new
profession, etc. You may eventually
find that you want to share ideas
relative to your profession with others
in your field who you trust.
Further information regarding how
you may contact Kari and Barb in the
future will be provided in your alumni
newsletter, Contact.
Congratulations on your accomplishments
at The College of Saint
Rose. Please don’t forget to keep in
touch with us regarding major (or
even minor) events in your life. We’re
interested. We don’t want to lose
touch with you, so we hop>e you will
be in touch with either your class
agents or the Alumni Office.
N i n e O u t o f T e n S t u d e n t s A d m i t
T h e y ’ v e P l a g i a r i z e d P a p e r s
(CPS)—As many as nine out of ten
students have plagiarized a paper
sometime during their college careers.
Miami University of Ohio professor
Jerold Hale and two colleagues
surveyed 234 students, and found that
91.2 percent of the students admitted
to having committed at least one of
four academically dishonest practices
in connection with written assignments.
Of those, 74.2 percent failed to cite
a reference for paraphrased or quoted
material, 44.2 percent passed off
another student’s work for their own,
40.8 percent failed to note a word-for-
word quote as a direct quotation,
and 39.9 percent used misleading
references to hide plagiarism.
The results echo a survey released
by Harvard University’s Institute for
Educational Management in early
March that found about 30 percent of
the n a tio n ’s college students have
cheated on term papers or exams.
In addition, 43 percent of 5,000
professors told the Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancement of
Teaching that today’s undergraduates
are more willing than their p re decessors
to cheat to get good grades.
The root of the problem, Miami’s
Hale says, is the intense pressure
placed upon s tu d en ts to achieve
academically.
But not all students say that justifies
cheating.
"If the overall goal is to succeed in
college, you’d think students wouldn’t
cheat,” said Paige Foster, a student at
the University of Kentucky. "Our
s tu d en t handbook is pre tty clear
about what is plagiarism.”
"Pressure to get good grades is no
excuse to cheat,” added Bonnie Wiese
o f Keene State College in New
Hampshire.

Radical Feminism Comes to CSR
By TOM ANGELO
Radical feminist Maura Baleful*
appeared at The College of Saint Rose
on Wednesday, April 25, under the
sponsorship of the women’t organization,
Calling All Sisters To Rally
A g a in s t T h e E x p l o i t e r M a n
(C.A.S.T.R.A.T.E.M.)* Speaking to a
group of twenty college students and
faculty members in the only facility
she would agree to utilize—the
women’s bathroom in the Activities
Center—Baleful treated her all-female
audience to a selection of readings
from her most recent book, Adventures
in Misanthropy.
Included were passages from such
chapters as “Men Who Hate Women,”
"Men Who Rob
Who Yell At
Women,” "Men
Women,” and "Men
Who Insist on Vilely and Chauvinisti-cally
Holding Open Doors for Women.”
Baleful commented on several well-known
aspects o f her celebrity,
including her notorious twenty-three
year refusal to speak to a man. "I just
haven’t had the occasion to talk to
one of the swine for some time now,”
she commented, minutes after hurling
her podium at an unwary male
student who had peeked inside to see
what was going on.
Baleful also addressed audience
questions, such as these:
STUDENT: Do you ever allow
males to attend your lectures?
BALEFUL: Occasionally, as ushers.
STUDENT: Why do you hate men
so much?
BALEFUL: Because th ey ’re p e rverted,
brainless, sick, hairy sex fiends
who have no love in their souls!
TEACHER: Why are your books
so hard to find?
BALEFUL: It’s a plot. Men all over
the country roam through bookstores,
tu rn in g the spines o f my books
towards the wall!
Baleful mentioned th a t she is
writing a new book, to be titled,
What^ Me, Paranoid? She said she will
begin a cross country lecture tour of
select women’s locker rooms this fall,
when the work is to be published.

Predictions
By KATI KOWALCZYK
For those of you who have been
faithful (o r even half-heartedly)
following my column, you’ll know
that last time I mentioned a rap song
by the name of "Somebody Farted.”
Based on the craziness of the music
Avorld today, I have predicted the top
10 rap songs in the year 2000 and the
names of the groups as well.
LM.A. Pigg—I Burped (and it felt
good!)
How Now Brown Cow—Yo, yo,
yo (I said yo!)
Yo Hey Yo—I eat my snack (and
dinner and lunch and breakfast, too!)
J im m y Jo a n d Jo ey J im —I’m
gonna barf (all over you!)
Ho BL—I get off on myself.
Babe Z—One Love
SQ,Bo—Shut up!
Old MC—Get Funky!
C rude Posse—Razzin’
Fiz Edd—My butt is big (and so is
yours)

Godfruit Juice Source o f Troubles
The Tentacle Is a
spoof on The
Chronicle and Is
published purely In
the spirit of fun.
Views expressed In
The Tentacle do not
necessarily reflect the
views of the staff of
The Chronicle] the
Student Association,
or the College of
Saint Rose.
By CHRISSIE MACK
A shadow fell across the otherwise
bright existence of the trio known as
the Publications Girls, after they were
rumored to have been discovered in
an incident of loud and disorderly
conduct in the lower level of the
Campus Center.
Dirk "Four Eyes” Rendo, Conduct
Master, declined to give any details to
The Tentacle, but did confirm that
something did happen somewhere.
Several chairs were found at the scene,
but Rendo was able to ascertain that
the chairs were broken before the
incident, and the trio was not assessed
for the damage.
When asked about the pa r t a
mysterious concoction called "Godfruit
Juice” might have played in the
incident, Rendo stated, "We don’t
know what the ingredients of Godfruit
Juice are, or what Godfruit Juice
had to do with this incident, but we
know it was involved, because when
the Publication Girls were all declaring
"This is the best Godfruit Juice we’ve
ever had!” Unfortunately, only empty
b ottle s with Veryfine labels were
found at the scene, and the Publications
Girls declined to comment, so
the entire situation remains a mystery.
W h a t I Learned at Saint Rose
By DIANNE SALLY
Well, I have only a short amount of
time as a Saint Rose student. In four
years I’ve learned much in the studies
of: Finance, Management, Computers,
and relationships. On May 12, 1990, I
will accept a Bachelor of Science
degree that represents a wealth of
knowledge and there are a few things
that I’ve learned at "The Rose” that
will remain indelibly etched on my
brain forever. To name a few:
• Teachers do test on material that’s
been assigned, but not covered in
class.
• There won’t be heat in December.
• There will be heat in April.
• Regarding meals: The entree of your
desire will be in the other line.
• When you’re down to your last
dollar, the food machines only accept
coins. • .
• Whether you open the book or not,
the buy-back price will always be
$2.00.
• The night before your midterm or
final is the night that everyone goes
out.
• Sometimes waiting until the last
minute earns a better grade.
• The human body can function on
four hours of sleep every weekend.
• When you’re down to your last pair
of panties, there are 6 loads of
laundry ahead of yours.
• When you want to go out,
teacher will keep you late.
• Each incoming class gets better.
• When you oversleep, all of
shower stalls are taken.
• Don’t believe everythinn you hear.
• Father Fay does grade lower than an
"A.”
• Unless it starts snowing hard by 6
a.m., we will have school.
• Very few teachers give the same
tests each year (contrary to popular
belief).
• Nothing counts between Thursday
night and Sunday mornings.
• Nothing is free, everything has a
price.
Here are the facts. Enjoy! Congratulations
to the Class of 1990!

I n f o r m a t i o n B y a n d F o r A d u l t S t u d e n t s NIGHTLI
Ruth Jandreau Award
By TOM DVORSCAK
The second annual Ruth Y. Jandreau
Memorial Award was presented at the
Honors Convocation on April 25,
1990 in recognition for outstanding
scholarship of Adult Continuing
Education students.
This award is in honor of the late
Ruth Jandreau, an educator and labor
leader who earned her Bachelor’s and
Master’s Degrees from The College of
Saint Rose as an adult student. Ms.
Jandreau was also a prominent leader
at Saint Rose, having been the
director of Financial Aid, Continuing
Studies (now ACE), and Planned
Giving during her tenure here. Ms.
Jandreau died after a long illness in
1986.
This year two students, Kris Smith
and Susan Martinare co-recipients of
this award. Both students are graduating
in May, and have earned a
perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point
average. Kris and Susan completed
their degree as part of the college’s
Experienced Adult Program (EAP).
Kris Smith, a Public Communications
major, has used her years in
the field to help her pursue her
degree. Having been a reporter and
producer at Channel 10 for seven
years, Kris used her experience to gain
experiential credit. This spring, Kris
has worked at two jobs and an
internship while finishing her degree.
She works full-time as the Associate
Director of Development for Public
Relations for the American Lung
Association. One can also hear Kris
report the morning weekday news on
SHO Radio (98.3 FM). Kris is doing
an internship at Artography, a graphics
design firm. Kris has completed her
degree requirements by transfer credit
from Maria College, part-time evening
and summer classwork at CSR, and
EAP Portfolio credit—entirely completed
in four years!
Kris said she was "fortunate to have

the next step is for students to bring
great teachers at Saint Rose, who
respect her opinion as well as share
their knowledge.” Kris said her
husband and daughter have been most
suppor tive o f educational pursuit
("they 'ran’ the house” ). She would
also like to thank both o f her
employers who were very supportive
and flexible, allowing her to attain her
degree.
S u s a n M a r t in is an Interdisciplinary
Studies—Special Studies major,
with a concentration in Elementary
Education. Susan returned to college
after receiving an A.A. S. degree in
Early Education at S.U.N.Y. Coble-skill
in 1971 and pursuing additional
coursework at S.U.N.Y. Albany in
1973. For the past 14 years, Susan
has been the Owner-Director-Teacher
of the Live &. Learn Nursery School
in the Clifton Park/Mechanicville
area. Susan has pursued her studies at
Saint Rose as a part-time day student
and documented her work experience
in an EAP portfoho.
Susan said that "life begins at 40,
and Saint Rose has made it easy,” She
added that although it has been
difficult to juggle school, work and
family. Saint Rose has helped her
pursue her education smoothly. Susan
said she would like to thank Ginger
K n ig h t and Maggie Kirwin, both of
whom she said were instrumental in
developing her program which made
her education possible. She also
thanked her family, who have been
very supportive of her as she pursues
her degree. Susan is planning to
continue her education, and has been
accepted to The Graduate School of

It’s been a busy year in the Career
Center. So far, over 5,100 people
have come to the Career Center for
various services. Also, over 2,400
people have called us for information
and help and that is not counting the
dozens of calls we get for our Job
Ho tlin e (4 8 2 -5 6 9 7 ) each week. We
have offered over forty workshops
since September of 1989 and the
turn-outs have been good. We ask all
students to evaluate our workshops
and for the most part, the students
have given us very good to excellent
evaluations. We tried to address all
criticisms and negative comments that
were brought to our attention. In fact,
the most common criticism was that
the workshops should have been
longer or broken up into two parts,
and we will try to adjust o u r
schedules next year to remedy the
situation. Please let us know if you
have any comments, criticisms or
suggestions to improve our services to
you.
There have been several career
preseiitations sponsored by the Career
Center this past year. We were
pleased to have many experts from
various fields come on to speak to the
students. For example:
Karen Stanley from the Saratoga
Springs City School District.
Arnold Rbthstein from the Guilder-land
School District.
Paul Picard from Pitney Bowes.
Thomas Corbin from the New York
State Department of Labor.
Mike Davis from the New York
State Department of Civil Service.
A Business panel of Saint Rose
Alumni.
We videotaped most of the presentations,
so if you missed them, you
can come down to the Career Center
and watch them at your convenience.
This past year we focused some of
our programming for Education and
Business majors. Next year we plan to
develop some workshops and presentations
for Social Sciences, Art and
Music majors. If you have any
suggestions please let us know.
Our only disappointment this year
has been the lack of student participation
in the On-Campus Recruiting
program. Several recruiters cancelled
their schedules with us due to the lack
of interest and it will be very difficult
to convince them to come back next
year. Many companies have scaled
back their recruitment programs and
they will only go to colllges that have
many interested students.
Presently, we have over 300 job
listings in our Job Banks. This
includes full-time, part-time, summer
jobs, internships, and international
jobs. Most of the job listings are
organized by academic major to make
your job search easier. We get dozens
of job listings each week and you can
find out about our most recent listings
by calling the Job Hotline at 482-
5697. We will be open all summer, so
if you need a job or would like to
find out what the job market is, stop
in to look at our Job Banks. We are
looking into the possibility of developing
a computerized job bank to
make it easier to access the job
listings.
Well, it’s been a fun year and we
really enjoyed working with you.
Remember, we will be open all
summer so if you need a job, career
counseling or advice, vocational
testing, resume assistance, interviewing
tips, or just want to say hello—stop in
to see us. If you hear about any
interesting job openings, let us know
about them so that we can share them
with other students. Have a safe and
happy summer and don’t forget that
we are here to help you with all of
your career needs. We are presently
located on the lower level of the
Campus Center, but we will be
relocating to the Ins tructiona l Cen-te
r early this summer. Our phone
number is 454-5141.

Lambada—Kacma. The forbidden
dance! This tune has a strong Latin
influence. It’s an unusually catchy
dance tune that has a sexy dance to go
along with it.
Ohh La La—Perfect Gentlemen.
These guys sound like New Kids on
the Block clones. I think the maximum
age for this group is 13—then
you’re out! I can’t say that I like this
song, it’s too typical of a love song.
The only good thing I can say is that
the group has a cute name.
How Can We Be Lovers—Michael
Botton. It’s a shame that this song is
suffering from overkill. It’s a really
good song with a valid point. The
trouble is, people won’t listen to it
befoire long. Instead, they’ll ignore it.
Got to Get—Leila K. with Rob ’n
Raz. Leila K. sounds almost exactly
like Neneh Cherry, who’s been hiding.
It’s got a funky beat to it, very
danceable.
W h ip A p p e a l—Babyface. This
song puts me to sleep. I guess you
have to be in a pretty mellow frame of
mind to appreciate it.
U Can’t Touch This—McHammer.
This song incorporates little bits of
Rick James’ old hit “Superfreak,” It’s
a little repetitive; how many choruses
of **Ho!!” can we fit into one song?
Still, it’s pretty good.
Well, it’s finally the end of the
semester. Is everyone as happy as I
am? I’d like to wish everyone a great
summer vacation—a summer of catching
rays, swimming and/or listening to
the radio station of your choice. Have
a good one!

Another semester is coming to an
end. For me, four years is coming to
an end. It has been a funfilled
semester, and an exciting four years.
I’m somewhat remorseful, but I am
glad to be moving on to new areas of
life.
The Student Association has been
very active in campus life this year,
and I urge everyone to get involved
and participate next year, even if it’s
by joining a club or attending an
event. There are so many activities on
campus that students are unaware of;
make full use o f your student
activities fee. Remember, you count.
Let those who are involved know
what you would like done on campus.
Student input is the most vital aspect
on campus—MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
I would like to thank all of the
Student Assembly members and the
Executive Board for making this an
unforgettable year. All < o f your
hardword and dedication is greatly
appreciated and you DID MAKE A
DIFFERENCE!
I also want to thank all of the
students for electing me to serve as
your Student Association President—
It was an unforgettable experience.
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!

On April 2, just as I was leaving for
my computer class, I received a call
from Marianne Smith, the program
director at the Albany YWCA, where
I work. Her first words to me were
’’Now don’t freak out.” At first, I
thought I was in for some bad news.
Quite the contrary! Marianne was
offering me a two-minute spot on
Channel 6’s 6:00 news.
Tom Mailey had called Marianne
that morning about the spot. Apparently,
he saw the piece in The
Times Union advertising my cheer-leading
clinic. With the NCAA finals
coming up, he wanted to learn a cheer
other than "Ya stupid ref!” He also
said that I could bring two of my
students.
It turned out to be a solo trip for
me. That afternoon, Marianne and I
tried to reach all of my students. One
was sick, another had a load of
homework, and the others weren’t
home. I was a little nervous about
going by myself, but I shouldn’t have
worried. I had fun!
After I called some friends with my
good news, I arrived at Channel 6 in
Schenectady at about quarter of 6. I
was starting to get shaky at this point.
What if I blanked out and couldn’t
speak?
Tom Maiiey gave us a hearty
welcome. I liked him immediately
upon meeting him. He was a very
relaxed man and I could easily chat
and joke with him. I think this helped
me to pull off the spot without
goofing up.
While we were waiting to go on, I
learned a few things about newscasting
th a t I h ad n ’t known before. For
instance, most of the reporters have
teleprompters, which are just electronic
cue cards. Also, John Cessarich isn’t
pointing at a real map. What he has is
a blank board and he interprets the
map from two monitors—one on each
side of him. The map is edited onto
the TV showing. There are about
three cameras doing the filming.
The camera crew is an extremely
important part of the news industry.
They are the ones in charge of the
timing and they keep everything
running smoothly. While I was on the
air, a cameraman would hold up cards
to tell Tom the amount of time he
had left. I looked to my left at one
point to come face to face with a big
1/2 drawn on the card. It cracked me
up.
Personally, I thought the spot was
successful. I didn’t draw a blank or
mess up any words. I wasn’t nervous
once I was on the air. It was really a
lot of fun for me. What helped was
the fact that it wasn’t very formal.
Tom Mailey was relaxed in his
presentation, which, in turn, made me
relaxed. That, and the little quips he’d
slip in made the whole news team
laugh while watching it.
It went by so quickly that I couldn’t
believe it when it was over. Moreover,
I couldn’t believe that I didn’t mess
up. After all, it was a live broadcast
and it wouldn’t have been edited. I
was then excited and wanted to do
another broadcast!
I must say that this was a great
experience for me. Surprisingly, very
few people saw the spot. But it didn’t
matter, because I had sincerely
enjoyed myself and learned a lot of
new things as well.
I saw a great number of people on
the news team while I was there. In
general, they were all pretty nice to
me. John Cessarich told me that I had
done well. Judy Sanders, Ernie
Tetrault and Tracy Egan were all
watching the interview and laughing.
No one appeared to be arrogant or
stuck on themselves! We did get
teased by John Cessarich, but he was
doing it in a joking manner.
If given the chance, I’d do another
spot on the news in an instant! It was
a great experience for me, especially
since my major is public communications.
Thanks to everyone at
Channel 6 for a great time!
