Professionalism at Stevens

Even though Stevens Is supposed to be preparing Its students for a professional career, a professional attitude is lacking on campus. This Is especially apparent in people's attitude toward their studies, Certainly, there Is more to college life than just academic achievement, yet the average feeling about academics here is poor.

There are several reasons for this, Many people don't apply themselves because they have the "I'm Just passing through" attitude. Granted, your four years at Stevens are an inslgni!icallt amount of time as compared to the rest of your life. Vet, this attitude is deadly, Lateron itturns to "I'm not going to be with this company forever" and as a result, many never get around to applying themselves, •.

Others rest upon the laurels of the •. placement

Knowing that Stevens Is well known in the local bus.lness world. they feel getting a Job, just any job, will be no problem. This Is an especially easy path to take considering the Pllst record of the placement office, yet just as deadly.

Vet the faUlt lies not only with the students, but also with the faculty. Many professors do inspire their students; but all· too .oft,!n classes degenerate into a simple regurgitation of the book or mere statements of facts wliich should be learned for the next test. HovJ often do teachers give the impression that all they want to do is get across enough information so that the syllabus will be fulfilled and so that four tests, an exam and a final grade can be given?

What this leads to is an endless cycle where studentsaren't interested and don't perform since the teachers do only the bare minimum, and where the teachers feel no compulsion to add somethingmore tharr the basic facts of a subject because none of the students who any interest. The net effect is that the academic atmosphere becomes poor and the overall academic quality sinks.

What is needed is that everyone, both professors and students alike, put in the extra effort to improve the situation. The overall quality oflhe institute is dependent upon all of us and cannot improve· without a conscious, individual improvement on the part of all those con.cerned.

UPTAM Summer Program

For the past six summers, Stevens has conducted the Undergraduate Projects in Technology and Medicine (UPTAM) program. This program is ARSON•••

(Continued from page 1, col. 3) were set. In the past five years the HFD has suffered one death and three serious injuries while answering false alarms at Stevens:

Arson is a serious crime. Arson is the use of any type of a device to set a fire, whether it be one match or a mattress.

Anyone caught tampering with fire eqUipment will not only I'eceive immediate expUlsion, but the HFD will prosecute that person to the full extent of the law. The HFD has suggested other ways of cutting dovin on the barrage of false alarms. If needs be they will have practice fire drills at any hour of the night or day.' Others heve suggested that fi nes be imposed on all residents of the dorm in the case of a false alarm.

The IDC Is fighting to protect the vast majority of students who are Innocent, but we need everyone's cooperation. Already this past semester one individual was reported tampering with fire eqUipment and has been suspended from the dorms. We must prosecute the guilty In order to protect the innocent.

This Monday, April 10th, there will be a meeting in all dormitories to discuss the problems and prevention of faise alarsm. All students are urged to attend. If you do not show up for the meeting don't complain if we have to take preventive measures.

Dear Editor: Is Securliy lseasy, Simple. And It

designed to stimUlate and encourage talented u n-' dergraduate students (from all of Stevens' curricula) to apply their engineering and scientific training to research problems in , medicine and the life sciences.

Participants work with a faCUlty member, and have benefited greatly from the program many have published articles in professional journals and have continued their research, activities throughout the academic yellr. StUdent par-' tiolpants receive stipend support for th!, summer.

Plans are presently being finalized for the summer 1978 UPTAM program. If you are interested in applying, please obtain an applicstlon formfrom the departmental secretary on the 1st floor of the Chemistry/ChemicaI' Engineering Center. Application forms must be submitted by Friday, April 21. 1978. Questions about UP·· TAM should be directed to Professor Ajay ,. Bose or Professor. Aruthur Ritter in Chemlstry/Chemicai Engineering.

Holy Week in MSA

Holy week was coal miners' week in Stevens MSA Building.

A group within the new MSA Tenants Union (Chartered on November 1977) collected $15.91 In cash and over $100 worth of food and clothing for the miners and their famliles. The money and stuff was taken to the coalfields after a rally In Union Square, NYC.

First, the MSA tenants had to overcome an anti-labor attempt to stop students ed ucatlon and collection activities. For this,

the group secured the active help and support of the Residents' Committee to Defend Freedom of Speech. This committee, In turn, secured a 61 signature petition to the Stevens Management to guarantee freedom of expression and speech on campus, as well as the right of the Stevens community to be well informed on social-political matters here and abroad.

The Stevens Mmlnlstration Is expected to respond favorably.

Slow Start for Stickmen

Stevens sUck men have already lallen Into a rut. Things could be looking better on the lacrosse scene as the Ducks suffered three losses In their Ilrst three outings.

The opener versus Haverford on the 29th 01 March at ho me ended in a 16-7 victory lor the visitors. Tech started badly, lacing a 6-0 delicit in the first quarter. Things began picking up in the second quarter with Rick "Rocky" Abradl scoring with only 17 seconds Into the period. Dennis Lang scored later into the period getting one assist from Abradi but Haverlord countered with two 01 their own.

The second hall proved much better with Haverford only outscoring Tech 8-5. Goals for Tech were turned In here by Caramante. Chuck "Chuckles" Matcovich and frosh Bob Cornero. Oelensemen, Marty Farrell, even helped out the ollense by putting one Into the net himself.

On Saturday, visiting Montclair also played the Ducks early taking a4-0 lead at the end of the first half. In the third period Dennis Lang put the Ducks on the scoreboard. but Montclair added three more. Pat and Rocky each added goals In the fourth period but Montclair countered with two of their own. The final tally saw Montclair victors 9-3.

In the most recent game, the stickmen fell prey to FOUTeaneck. lQ..7 at Teaneck. Unfortunately with under a minute into the game Teaneck was on

the scoreboard. Another tally was added five minutes later, but the Ducks were not golngto give up so easily. Minutes later Mike Antieri fed Rocky and Tech was on the scoreboard, Another tally was added five minutes later. but thl! Ducks were not going to give up so easily. Soon afterwards, FDU C reciprocated with' another givIng FDU the advantage 3-1.

Mike Antlerl seemed to be the hot man of the hour as he added another goal in the second period, but Teaneck would not let down their offense either, tallying another to keep the Ducks 2 goals behind at the end 01 the half.

The third period saw both teams trade goals, with guess Who, Mike putting in Tech's. Entering the fourth period both teams were setting their sights lor the win. FDU put in the first goai here with Tech in a mandown situation. Mike (agalnl)

Antleri fed by Alex Marra countered with one to- keep things tight. On penalty situations, FDU S<lored twice more and then added another to bring the score to 10-4. But spirits did not lower for the Ducks, Pat Caramante and Dennis Lang each put the ball into the nets. With 50 seconds left. (do it again) Mike brought the final score to 1Q..7.

varsity games. Back there with Bob, seniors Scott Silverness, and Jim Daly along YJlth Marty willi BPoreagaln) Farrell, are doing one heck of a Job. Even though things have looked bleek for the Ducks ao far, one must rememberthatthe stick men had no scrimmages prior to the IIrst game due to h1clement weether. Along with this, there is a very.young offensive unit with 'but one season beneath their belts. Looking back on the Ilrst thre; games, Tech has been late starters. If the stickmen can overcome their IIrst half problems. the remainder of the season should prove excellent.

The team's next out.lng Is versus Kean et1:00 p.m. on Saturday at Kean. Hopefully there will be some 01 the old home crowd there, as was the case Wednesday when five fans ed the team. For information concerning rides to the games contact Doreen Foster, Box 386 or Cathi PiZZO, Box 1323. -

First and week, I would 'like to tliank all the people 'l!ho cQntrjbuted· tolast.'week's.5TUPE, while hoping that those players, coaches; and administrators Who appeared in the STUPE realize it was all In ·fun,.·

Second, and next to foremost, it is ti me to slart eating some crow over those preseason, prediotlQrl.s that I So' far, the baseball, racrosse, and ·tennis. teams are a combined and things don't look all that go.od:for this upcoming weekend for Improvement. , ,

The weaknesses that remain on the threE1- teams are becoming mo.re. obvious.with each:9I1me

In baseball, the lack of a deep pitching staff, and· long ball hitting is beginning to show through as Bob Torre has started both games, and Tech's pitching starts and·ends with .him, While the big rally on Wednesday was two walks, a sacrifice, and a walk to load the bases.

The tennis team Is young, and is definitely in over its head in the case of. matches such as Upsala.

The big weakness in lacrosse Is the stick handling

The Stlckmen are in good shape and are working hard, but their stlckhandllng Is not as good as Itshould be. They are throwing away some excellent opportunities because their passing and stlckhandling Is weak.

I have not written off the chances for winning seasons for all three of these teams. All three have spi rit and character and talent, and as soon,as they gel they will be tough. They 'have the potential. to overcome thei r shortcomings, and I'm confid.ent they will improve, but I may have overe!ltlmated them'\;'and It may be time to admit II. My sources in the Intramurals committee. notably, my roommafe the commissioner, has stated that softball intramurals may be In the .'works. I think softball Intramurals are a good idea, butthere are two good reasons against it. First, It is too late for ·an effective' program. Second, there Is no field time for it. The athletic "field" Is' already home for two spring varsity sports, and iFO softball. There is just nowhere to put the program. sy the way, all questions, comments, and volunteers to work for the STUTe Sports Dept. should drop a line In box 5-164.
