Alumni welcome RAs Handing Out Deficiency Notices Raises Objections By CYNTHIA i. CHIEF A and JANE MARCUS Of th# Humean* Staff Under the sole direction of Maho-ney/Pearson Area Director Judy Koncsol the Resident Assistants hand delivered midterm deficiency reports to the students on their floors in a possible violation of the Buckley Amendment. The Buckley Amendment proposed by former Senator James Buckley in 1974 is designed to protect the privacy of university students' academic records. The amendment states that "the University will not disclose personally identifiable information from the educational records of a student without the prior written consent of the student, except under the conditions of directory information (name, address, phone number, major), or to a school official at a University to which the student plans to transfer, or to meet Federal U.S. requirements. According to George Smith, University registrar and the chairman of the University Steering Committee on the Buckley Amendment, the distribution was not a violation of the Buckley Act. "How can it be a violation if the RAs didn't actually see the grades or the classes that the person got those grades in. Besides, the RAs didn't know what they were handing out,” Smith said However, according to a memo sent out to all RAs from the Committee to discuss the future intellectual endeavors of the Mahoney/Pearson Complex, the RAs did know that they were handing out deficiency notices. At one point the memo said: "As you well know deficient grades are out. According to Koncsol. when the reports came into the complex they were not stamped through the U S. mail system as they usually are but came in a large package with just the student's name on them. "The staff put the room numbers on them and then had the RAs give them out." she said. Koncsol said that no students complained about the way the issue was handled. The Hurricane has received letters and phone calls from students who feel that their right of privacy has been violated. “I apologize to any students who were offended," Koncsol said. Mahoney RA Tom Block said that he thought it was a good idea to have them distribute the reports “Many people leave this school because they have such awful grades and if we can help them maybe they will stay." Block said "Also, many of the students on my floor are freshmen and they thought that they were being kicked out of school for failing and I was able to calm them down,” he said. Director of Residence Halls George Shoffner was unaware that Koncsol was going to carry out the distribution but when he found out he also said he thought it was a good idea. It may not bn n technical dotation of the Buck Icy Amendment, hut there'll a sense oj discretionary judgment which hns not been considered. "/ do not feel that ginng out deficiency notices is n dormitory social errili.'' XX ¡1 lia in Sherdcr Dean of Students "All they were trying to do was help ; 1 feel that the staff members should help students with their work. "This gives students in academic trouble the capability to get assistance when they need it," Shoffner said The Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) has been investigating complaints coming in from students who feel that their privacy has been infringed upon USBG Attorney General Nelson Conde has forwarded a memo to the Vice President for Student Affairs William Butler and it will be decided at a later date as to whether or not this action was actually a violation of students' right to privacy. Conde has asked that any students who have complaints about the action that was taken, please call him at x-3082 Officer Slate Finalized For Dorm Government By SARI SHAPIRO Hurncan* S9«f* Writ#r The dormitory government which works with the office ol Residence Halls has finalized this year's slate of officers. Apartment area governors elected Pam Sacherman as president; Barry Goldstein as vice-president; and Va-larie Martin as secretary /treasurer. In Eaton Hall. Andy Light was voted president; Rebecca Naistadt vice-president; and Mark Rubin, secretary/treasurer. Mahoney/Pearson president is Dave Liederman; Michele Smith is vice president; Jimmy Radogna. treasurer; and Lynn Rovner, secretary. 960 governors elected Bob Knapp as president; Randi Gold as vice-president; and Brenda Cohen as secretary/treasurer President of 1968 dorm governors is Ed Kardos.and Jaime Byington is the secretary/treasurer. Floor governors plan functions for their own floor and dormwide events. The governor's council in each dorm is responsible for allocating Ha pino Questions l ndeelured Ma jors h ut ares Student Academic Services Under Threat By SARI SHAPIRO Hurrirana Staff Wrltar Student Academic Services, better known as Building 48K. is under threat of being closed down "The Administration feels the school is losing students because of the center, so they want to close us down," Director of Student Services Thomas Papino said 48K is the home for students needing advising who have not decided upon their major, changed their majors or who find the service’s advising facilities more helpful and convenient than their own department’s. The center is the "most complete because the advisors there can answer questions concerning any academic area In any department," Pa-plno said “It is an important facility because it serves many important functions. "What we do here, we do well " Papino does not know where students with undeclared majors will go for academic advising if the center is closed down. Many students expressed concern ov*r the closing of 48K "If it hadn't been for the service, I would never have stayed here,” sophomore Linda Baron said. “They nelped me a lot. In fact, now, even tnough I have a decided major and •n advisor, l still go to 48K because they are so willing to help.” .ai?ter Tempkin said he felt that „ ¿V* °"e of the best services this school offers. „,Lh? **rv'ce not only waits for ua*nta R> come to them, they also go to the students Each advisor receives a copy of their student's deficiency reports. If the student does not get in touch with his advisor about his problem in the class, the advisor gets in touch with the student. The advisors even go to such lengths to find the problem by sending someone to the student's room, although most of the communication is done by telephone If a student has a conflict with a teacher, one of the advisors from the center will call the teacher, explain the problem to him and will set up an appointment for the student to see the teacher. “There is a need to be advisors for students when students need them," Papino said, “and the center always has someone available, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a m. to 5 p.m. "The advisors are here for the sole purpose of advising; thev have no classes to teach, no meetings to attend, no projects to work on. We encourage students from any department to call on us whenever they have any type of academic problem." money for events, such as Homecoming, Carni Gras, parties and educational programs. For some events, the governors' interact with governors from other dorms to plan functions Basically, they are there to help make dorm life better. The governors vote to form committees, and a governor is appointed chairman of that committee. The committees include programming, food, Homecoming, Carni Gras, vending machines, dorm renovation, publicity, budget and newspaper. Governors meetings are open to any interested students, but only the governors have the right to vote. The presidents of each dorm government have set goals for this year. Sacherman is working to "renovate the apartment area to make it more liveable. Our first goal is to have air conditioners installed in each apartment.” Liederman. is directing his efforts towards "more recreation for Mahoney/Pearson this year, which will include a new recreation room, all new sports equipment and various activities to get students involved in." "The board of governors is directing all of its energy in improving the overall quality of living in 960," Knapp said. "One of their major projects is a mural contest from which two designs will be selected for the walls of our concourses to the elevators This is a precedent for residence halls, and we look forward to continued improvements." Kardos said he wanted to make students aware that there is a dorm government and to get students involved in activities Hesaidthat 1968 officers would like to make improvements in the dorm for the betterment of the students. Consumer ( h cm rv A Fon t Sex ( rimes Part Of Snyder's Studies By CYNTHIA I. CHIEF A N»wl editor Have you ever met a chemist who writes about such subjects as sex crimes among mallards (the rape of a duck), original sin and anti-intel-lectualism? Organic Chemistry Professor Carl Snvder has written about these subjects. as well as having authored two texts on organic and inorganic chemistry Snvder. a graduate of University { of Pittsburgh (BS) and Ohio State i University (PhD) has been teaching at UM since 1961 In 1976 he singlehandedly began a consumer science program on "if all began when I learned that the National Science Foundation was supporting scientists in a plan of 'Science Applied to Social Prob- lems,” Synder said. “1, as a chemist, wanted at that time to do something about the serious inflationary problem. I felt that since all we consume are chemicals, we could become better, more effective consumers if we become aware of just what it is that we consume,” he said. In order to prepare for his consumer science class (Chemistry 101 and 102), Snyder studied for three consecutive summers at Cornell University (1975), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (1976) and the University of California (1977). Synder studied nutrients, textiles, food additives, detergents, consumer education and consumerism politics. “When I first began studying See page 3 Snyder W ork.s At Spectrometer ... cut part * Miami Humean* CO Git IFF in *4 conMumrr rh munir y rlann k
