Pre FroshTour Stevens

Last Monday the Admissions Department sponsored its second annual Open House and It was even a bigger success than last year's. Over two hundred accepted applicants lor next year's Ireshman class attended.

The students arrived at 9:00 a.m. and were greeted by Dean Eversen. They were then assigned, by lours, to one of the 75 students who acted as tourguldes and support personnel lor the day. Alter the welcome, they were escorted to second and third period classes so they could see firethand a college classroom, Prolessors Jurkat, Lawlor, Nickerson, and PollOck gave special lectures to help handle the overflow 01 people. Next, a variety 01 reseerch presen-

tatlons were attended so that students would have opportunity to see the various lacilitles Stevens has to offer. The research presentations were spread from the Davidson Lab tow-tank on Hudson Street to a mobile van parked next to B& G.

Lunch was served at 1:00 p.m. and ac.ademic department presentations lollowed, at which the students diScussed the types 01 courses olfered.

Alter the business for the day was over. A· large number 01 clubs volunteered their time to talk to students about clubs and activities on campus. The Fencing team also put.on a special demonstration In the gym' naslum.

i,he'men will want to live on campus, but ,the question Is, WHERE?

It is the president's job to oversee every ,Iunctlon 01 the E.C. He is In charge 01 meetings , and presides at Inquisitions 01 the IDC. The vice president performs the, president's functions when the preslde'nt Is absent. as , well as being the student coordln.ator of the Dormitory Linen Service. The secretary Is to records minutes of ,the meeting and handles any communications. The treasurer handles each dorm's individual lunds, and the Athletic coordl nator organizes interdorm sporting competitions. The ECls totally independent 01 the Stevens administration; it is supported by STUCO funds.

At present'the commlteee consists of Ann Nevola, president; Alan Gutberlet, v.p.; Jim Comercl, secretary; Abe AddoniZio, treasurer; and Kavin Murphy. AC.

Nominees lor president Include Abe Addonizio, John Dearborn, and Bob Demkowlcz. Kathy Burkholder Is unopposed for vice-president, Bill Butler unopposed lor treasurer, and Mary Doddy, for athletic coordinator. No one was nominated for secretary.

There will be another meeting next Monday. At present, nominations are stili open, and they are open to the entire dormitory community. It must be repeated that nominations will stili be accepted. '

Remember, they're your dorms. It's your right and duty to have a say in how they're run by the' IDC.

Final note: to get a nomination all you need Is a petition with twenty-live signatures.

Engineers Attend Dinner

This past Wednesday night, the Pierce Room was the scene 01 the annual Hudson County Society 01 Prolessional Engineers dinner for all senior engineering students.

The buffet dinner was highlighted by a talk delivered by James T. Dette from Dames and Moore Consulting and Construction Firm. His topic centered on oll·shore oil drilling in the Atlantic City area.

The Math department could handle a move to new offices II necessary.

The President of the Hudson County SPE spoke on the new format 01 the prolesslonal engineering exams. The Board of Prolesslonal Engineers In New Jersey is currently voting on changing the structure oflhe EIT exams to inclUde all descriptions 01 engineering.

Ju.niors Beware!

It is. once again time for a statement of editorial policy for THE STUTE. Reasons for the reiteration of policy are many; the most important cause being the fact that the purpose of One Senior's Opinion column has recently not been fulfilled by its various authors. Specifically, as long as I have been reading the STUTE, and especially since I have been editor, the authors of the One Senior's Opinion column have failed to live up to the purposes and goals of the column. Instead, the opinions rendered in the column have degenerated into self-serving declarations of the individual's vanity. Also, the seniors whose opinions were canvassed in the column every year belonged to the same secretive, .select clique (whose 6pinlons, due to their positions and ability to verbalize, no OQ.e cared to hear anyway.)

Tl11s selfish use of the STUTE cannot be allowed to continue. Therefore: the editorial policy of the STUTE in_ regard to opinions will be that anyone regardless otclass (I.e. freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors) or position can write a (limit of 300-50Q words) statement of their views of life while they have been at Stevens. The last of the One Senior's Opinion column appears this week while the first of the new statements begins. These statements will be published (at a maximum of four per week) in the paper starting at mid-term of the fall semester and running every week to the end of the spring semester. The only restrictions on the column will be that a person can only write one for his stay at Stevens, and that the content of the statement reflect a truthful view of one's experiences at Stevens. If the author I nsists on attempting to copy the style of past authors, who bastardized the purpose of the column, their own statements will NOT be published, lest the column again degenerate Hence, statements will be grouped under the column titled: Students Speak Out! With these restrictions I hope When someone sits down to write their statement that they take it:. seriously. and not play the game of finding the answer toJhe. question: If I had the chance to relive these past four years- since the question is meaningless.

-the ctiange In editorial. policy forces me to reevaluate the performances of the student organizations. To date, can you mention onl! thing that any organization has done this semester. What has -5'(I,JCO, SRB, Honor Board, Khods, etc. done for you this

thaI's what! The ill-fated Tom Rush and Dick Clark affai rs are prime examples of the plans that have failed. I am not being negative for the sake of criticism but attempti ng to warn the juniors al)d other underclassmen of the thing that is happening to the seniors in charge of these organizations. What is happening is not just a bad case of senioritis, but also a case of believing in the myth of their own importance.

Dear Editor,

I would like to express my sincere gretltude to a certain group of people here at Stevens. They've madp my fou.r years of playing basketball for Tech exciting and very enjoyable. I'm speeklng of the Tech basketball fans. You, know, the ones that scream so loud at times you can't hear yourself talk.

This year the basketball team has played twelve colleges. on the road. During these games, I got a good chance to see the support other teams got from their students. Comparltlvely speaking, I firmly believe that our support is by far the best. The- numbers might not be as great, but the overall orazlness, vociferousness, and enthusiasm that makes good fans is definitely greater.

I know that other teams are afraid to play us at home. They know that we are a different team at home. That difference is mainly due to 'the fact that our fans are the greatest. Once gain, from both the team and me, thank you.

Dear Editor,

Any solution to the current campus housing problem should Include an end to the segregation-by-sex policy in effect here. Our more enllghlened rivals (Caltech, for one) do not hesitate to treat their femal -students as adults where housing is concerned.

They have opened all dormitories to women. Women participate with men in thestudentrun room selection process, and have an equal chance of getting a single room. There are no gimmicks to Isolate the sex_es; men and women occupy the same floors and share toilet and shower facilities: shower curtains ensure privac5'. There are no locked doors.

While we cannot unlock the entrances to the dorms because of urchins, and others, we can standardize the locks and provide each registered student With. a master key. This would allow free access to the dorms by all stUdents, and also reduoe lhe incidenoe of broken fisls. Implementing both policies would be simple, and would contribute to a more relaxed and pleasant atmosphere on campus.

To the STUTE: Regarding the letter to the Editor about Friday nights in Hoboken- where have you been? Do Stevens students have blinders on? I've been associated with this school and the city of Hoboken since 1966. There have been a wealth of beautiful events in town that have died mostly because of non-participation. How about the Monthly Movies? Where were Stevens students then?

How about the Country Western concert at the Shannon Sar? The Girls concert? The Run Off Cafe where they had excellent entertainment?

In other words, these students (for that Is ALL that they are) really are members of the "all powerful" student organizations who have retreated Into a clique which none may enter. A case in point Is 'Boken. What the hell Is 'Boken? No one knows what this day Is supposed to be except the Jamaica crew. The Idea of 'Boken was supposed to involve everyone, but Is ending up going down the same road as Dick Clark. The concept of 'Boken can work, but oniy if those In charge of it get off their Rathskeller benches and their minds off the beaches of sunny Jamaica and tell people, Involve people In the planning of events of '80ken. Other flop events are the 1st Ann ual Senior Class Dance and the fabled senior class trip to Jamaica. These have gotten little publicity and even less Involvement from the students. The point of these examples is to show the stupidity of the view: "We're having a party, but If you don't come we'll stili have a good time." I Just hope the juniors take heed and do not let the same thing happen to them. Otherwise, the same thing will happen to the juniors as It Is happening to the seniors.

As a side pol nt, who moved the date of the Senior Class Dance Into direct conflict With the WCPR All Night Movies (which was originally to be the only event on February 24th)?

Stevens DOES Have A Bowling Team

The Stevens Tech bowling team is alive and well in Hoboken.

Various colleges gather there every Sunday to match their speed, accuracy and general mastery 01 the sport. Although the mood is usually light, the competition is strlotly profeSSional.

Junior Malt Kuzel and freshman Gary Smith round out a solid starting lineup, The team's main problem is lack 01 depth which usually results in absent players, When there is no one to fill a starting position. A 120 is presented lor every vacancy which spells almost certain defeat.

A rough early schedule plus a laok 01 bowlers almost wiped out any ohance of victory in the nesr luture. The team found Itself 1M 14th place (out of 16 positions) as February began. DelermIMed to post a winning reoord, they responded with a 5-2 victory over Cooper Union.
