Security, according to Fitzsimmons, is.also working on a plan to provide better lighting around campus. Fitzsimmons said that the Continuing Education department will be conducting a survey of students 25 and older, concerning"theneedsoftheolder students." For example, Fitzsimmons said that the non-traditional student may prefer more classes to be held on weekends or at nightime. Thecounselingcenter,as well, has many new plans in store for '88. Fitzsimmons said, "TAMECE is doing a great job and will continue to grow even more." He also said that Dr. Katherine Preston, director of the counseling center, has 14 new programs planned, involving the entire campus community. These programs will entail lectures and seminars on dating and sexuality, stress reduction and personal enhancement. On Feb. 28, Donna Seckar,

career counselor, and the business department will be sponsoring a lecture on dressing for success. Seckar will also be providing counseling for students in areas such as home financing, car purchases and insurance payments. Fitzsimmons said that students can discuss which type of life insurance is better: whole life or term. He also stressed that career counseling and the newly developed cooperative education program would work together in new areas. Dr. Joseph Romano, vice-president for academic affairs, said, "One of the biggest goals for the academic department is to establish co-op as a formal program." Cooperative education is a newly developed academic program in which students will be paid while working in an "on-thejob" setting. Several steps have been taken so far toward the establishment of co-op as a formal program. Dr. John Carroll has been hired as director of the program, and Ellen Kaplan, hired as job developer, is responsible for finding jobs for students. more GOALS on 3
