Fee
by Jennifer San SouciThe $30 registration fee is not being
cred ited tow ards tuition accord ing to CJ
unanimous decision by the BudgetCommittee . Before this decision, the$30 was cred ited from tu ition s.
Mr. Stanley Jacobiak , Director ofPersonel, and Mr . Robert McKenna,Vice President of Student Affairs,both said that the fee is for the cost ofpr oces sing course schedules andholding students position in a class."Money had to be raised and this was away to obtain more funds:' stat edMcKenna.
" The problem was also th atstudents would tie up a seat in a courseand then not show up for class , o rcha nge their sched ules," he continued,"the $30 would still have been creditedtowards tuition even rf the studentdidn't attend the class, " Ot hcr colleges charge a fee and do not creditthis fee fom tuiti on , making registra tion a "privilege" .
"1 think the $30 can not possibly bethe cos t of pr oce ssing studentsschedules per student, in an informalsurvey around campus, said FreshmanAmy Duggan, it was not ed that themajority of students questioned were'lot in favor of the fee.
On Apri l 29. President Rizziniissued a memo rescinding the fee:"Because legitimate questions have
been raised about the legality of enacting th is fee at this time . I am rescinding the fee effective immediately""For those students who have paid
the fee already, the amount pa id willbe cred ited to their tuit ion paymentfor next year as has been past practice... I am taking under advi sement
various options open for considerationregarding the cost involved for earlyregistration."Please understand that I accept
responsibility for this error "
NORMAN , OK (CPS) - For college students, access to cable television , automated banking machinesand an occasional lobster dinner orlate night pizza used to mean having togo off campus.
Not anymore,Thanks to administrators' worries
about attracting students to theirdorms and intensifying competitionfor rents with off-campus apartmentcomplexes, an increasing number ofschools are offering a smorgasboardof once-unheard-of amenities for nextfall .
At the University of North Dakota,some dorms have weight rooms andsaunas.
At Eastern Michigan University,som e on-campus residen ts have accessto computer rooms in their dormitories , and are offered 12-monthleases.
At the University of O klaho ma, freecable television in dormito ry lou nges,a pizza bar and an auto mated ba nki ngmachine are in the works fOJ next fall .
The school also has hired a newfood service director and given freereign to plan what adm inistrators call" monotony breaker s," such as lob sterdinners.
" T ry as we might , there are someareas in which we ju st cannot competewith apartment complex owners, "says au assistant housing directorCraig Pulliam.
"But there is an awful lot we cando." .
Dormitory residen t s are notpampered at every school. Many institut ions still face perennial do rmitoryover-crowding, particularly at thebeginning of the school year.
" It' s sporadic across the country,"says Jim Grimm, housing director atthe University of Florida and presidentof the national housing officers group .
Grimm estimates that between 20and 25 percent of the nations ' collegesnow have a hard time filling theirdorms. .

Tech Writing: Career Option for Teachersby Anne B. Wagner
"In seven years on the job, I've onlyexperienced five bad days ," documenta tion specialist Richard Howard toldhis audience at the 4th Annua l Conference for Teachers of TechnicalWriting held on Ap ril 20 at RWC .
Howard urged teachers contemplating a career change to considertechn ical writi ng. " You' re creatingand learning some thing new every dayand working with br ight, energeticpeo ple," he said.
Howard joked about his adjustmentto industry standards after enjoyingthe flexible schedule afforded by college teaching. " Do they really expectme to be here at 8:30 an d to stay until5:30 every day?"
Holding a Ph .D. in forestry,Howard made the transition fromacademia to indust ry in 1978 when hewent to work for the Lab Data Products Gro up at Digital Equi pment Co rporation. Three year s ago , he transferred to Rainbow where he is currentlyworking on version 150 of the software user guide.
According to Howard, producingmanuals is on ly one optio n in writingfo r the elect ronics ind ustry. Writersalso produc e field manuals for hardware, market ing and sales lite rat ureand training materials . He listedwriting, plan ning, inter personal communication and technical knowledgeas skills necessary to the documentation specialist and pointed out thatmost teachers already possess the first

TheBoard decided that as of April I ,RWC st uden ts in EngineeringTechnology no longer may take theEngi neer- in-Tra ining examinationupon graduation. The reason is thatRWC education does not preparestudents well enough to pass the exam.The facts as reported support the decision only too well - of IS studentstaking the exam in Fall 1984, all failed.

Whathas disturbed them most, I think, isthat they were caught by surprise.Many apparently believed that theywere qualified and eligible to sit forthe exam when they graduate.

by Dr. Mel A. TopfA recent decision of the R.I. Board
of Registration for ProfessionalEngineers and Land Surveyors,reported in the last issue of theMessenger, is important to RWCstudents whatever their major. TheBoard decided that as of April I,RWC students in EngineeringTechnology no longer may take theEngineer-in-Training exami~ation
upon graduation . The reason IS thatRWC education does not preparestudents well enough to pass the exam .The facts as reported support the decision only too well - of 15 studentstaking the exam in Fall 1984, all failed.
Engineering Technology studentsshould be and are concerned. Whathas disturbed them most, I think, isthat they were caught by surprise.Many apparently believed that. theywere qualified and eligible to sit forthe exam when they graduate. Theycertainly deserve to be. President Rizzini is quoted as saying the collegecatalog doesn't state that engineeringtechnology students are able to take

Commentary
RWC's Reputa!~2~But~~~st!~~A student alJending RWC has every
right to believe that the programs inwhich they work for years, at great expense, are acceptable to professionalorganizations and to the public.
That's why all students should beconcerned about the Board's decision .It will affect the college's reputationand hence the credibility of the degreethat, once received, is part of a studentall his or her life.
A college's reputation isn't just amatter of vague opinions. It is real. Ithas consequences . It affects a college'sability to attract funds, quality faculty, and qualified students. It affects astudent's chances of getting into pro fessional and graduate schools and ofgetting jobs. A college's bad reputation is like a person's bad breath. Fewpeople will tell you about it directly,but you start noticing how peopleavoid you if they can.

Dear Editor:The current regulations of the
Rhode Island Board of Registration 'for Professional Engineers and LandSurveyors provide a route by whichRWC graduates could qualify for theEIT examination two years aftergraduation.
The regulations, as exerpted onpage 7 of the last issue of theMESSENGER, state that an applicantwith at least eight years of "progressive experience" may be allowedto sit for the exam. Each year of studyin an Engineering Technology program can be counted as 1.5 years ofthis requirement up to a maximum of

An additional four years of workexperience would be necessary foranyone wishing to take the Professional Engineers examination .
These regulations specifically referto the situation in Rhode Island andmay not be the same as those in otherstates. However, there are reciprocityagreements which insure that .anyonepassing the EIT exam ~d being ce.rtified as an Engineer-m-Trammg many state would have that statusrecognized in Rhode Island.

by Doug CloutierPr oof sets are an easily collect ible
style in the coin ma rket fo r the personwith an interest in collecting , Eachyear the San Francisco Mint offersproof sets for sale th ro ugh the mail,which in past years have cost $11 each.
A set of proof coins is a grou p withone of each value coin (a penny ,nic kel, dime, q uarter, and Ken ned yhalf-do llar) poli shed 10 mirror finishand set in an a irtight easel disp laycase.
If you write t0 1~2 ~ mint , they willsend an orde r form , from which youmay order up to six sets.
O f course th ere's alway s anoth erway. Co in dealers ar e very willing tosell you the co ins, but they ha ve to sellfor pro fit .
" I've see sets as high as $20, " saidMar k Kallmeyer. an RWC studentwho has been co llecting for manyyea rs .
Proof sets a re a favori te among en thu siasts becau se of their superio r co ndit ion . In the hid den ha lls of the mint .these coins are made in airt ight room sand on ly touched by machines. Proofco itu s produced after 1936, aregenerally called " brillia nt proofs."
During the sixties , proof co ins werehoarded by collectors. As a result . allthe sets (except 1964) tha t sold fo r$2. 10 a re now worth $20 or mo re according to Apri l issue o f Coin pricesMagazine,
Tha t rush has co nversely created adrop in the value of 1970' s proof sets,a gold mine for coin pro spectors.Som e sets from that period are worthup to $5 less than original costs, whichranged from up to $9. Gr abbing thesewill probably mean dropping by a coi nshop and haggling with the dealer topa y less th an origina l valu es .
.. At least knock out the sales tax,"said Kallmeyer.
But it coul d prove to have beenworth th e trouble in 20 years .Remember, proof coins are in idea lcondi tion, valuab le forever.

Suoerior and Oshko sh campuses ofthe University of Wisco nsin amongthem - are being forced to closedormitories.
But the schools still have to pay offmortgages on closed dorms, so, toavoid similar fates, 1I10St vacant dormsare turning increasingly to more aggressive marketing .
And some schools that are still fullare offering students more to stay oncampus, if only to keep their dorms asattractive as those on other campuses.
Grimm notes the University ofFlorida is establishing dormitorieswith a strong academ ic thrust: cornputers, quiet halls and live-in facultyadvisors.
In some cases, innovative universityadministrators are acting on their owninitiative. In others. they have nochoice .
Norman, for example , ha sdeveloped a massive apartment glutoff campus, Pulliam points out .. Landlords are offering a range ofmducemen ts to attract students in-cluding a month's free rent. '
Other forces wor ked to underminethe university's housing program.When the sta te' s minimum legaldrinking age rose to 21 last year, theschool was forced to issue citations forunderage dr inking in the dorms.
"We don't have the luxury of saying we're not going to enforce statelaw," Pulliam says .
The number of au students livingon campus reached ail all-time high in1982-83. Dormitory enrollment hasdeclined by about 10 percent sincethen, and school officials expect it togo down again next year.

SHORT TAKESMs . Margaret Siebe r, Account
Manager from Microtemps, discussedthe opportunities available forengineers who might prefe r temporarypositrons. Although the ma rket forsuch personnel is limited and there areno fringe benefits, the hourly pay canreach as much as $40.00 per hour. Sheindicated that it takes a certain kind ofengineer to accept different positionswhich offer no permanence. There isvery litt le learning on the job, but ,rather, the engineer must be able toassume the position , do the work required, and leave within the shortesttime possible.
Mr. Hunter discussed his position asEngineering Supervisor. emphasizingthat his concern is for the companyand , in order tha t he produce for thecompany, he must assemble the bestteam for the job . His company will do"comparative shopping" and look forthe person with the most potential andtha t did not necessarily mean thehighest grade point. He reiteratedwhat Mr. Brennan had emphasizedregarding resumes and appearanceand atti tude, but he also added thatthey look for past experience in theengineeri ng field.
Two former Roger Williams Collegegraduates also spoke about theiremployment experiences. Edward Collins, EET, 1983, is employed forOcean Technology as a field serviceengineer for the Trident SubmarineFleet service. He stressed the fact thatit tak es about 6 months of "sett lingin" before you are expected to really"pro?uce." This time is best spentlearnmg the company structure. itsproducts, and their expectations. Healso remarked that you cannot stop atthe Bachelor' s level but should go onto graduate school. Larry Bass, EET,1979, is employed at Federal Products.He stated that his biggest problem injob hunting was the fact that jobs being offered were not in the areas whichinterested him. He concur red with Mr.Collins that "you can't learn it all infour year s." He is currently attendinggraduate schoo l at URI.
A question and answer period washeld following the speakers' presentations . One student asked the speakersto comment on advertisements whichlist as one of the requirements that thecandidate have 2-5 years of experience. It was suggested that even ifthe student does not have the experience. sending a resume could prompt other job possib ilities within thatcompany. It was also suggested thatbecause resumes were often thrownaway immediately after filling theposition, a job seeker could send additi~nal .resumes to that company, andthis might draw the interest and attention of the employer.
The evening's events concluded witht~e presentation of gifts of apprecianon to the speakers . Larry Pelligrino,RWC IEEE president, attributed thetremendous success of the StudentNight to the joint efforts of the club'sofficers as well as the support and suggestions of Mr . Earl Gladue, the club'sfaculty advisor.
o
to "see what the students were like andto see what other companies were interest in as far an engineering studentswere concerned ."
Following a formal hot buffetcatered by the RWC food service, Mr.Hunter prefaced the speakers ' introduction by stating that the "purpose of the discussion " was to "respond to students' anxieties and fearsregarding employment. " He felt thatteacher's could not really answer questions regarding employment as well asthos e who were actually working in thefield . Mr. Paul Brennan, Person nelMan ager with Federal Products, wasthen introduced as the first speaker .
Mr. Brennan briefly discussed hiscompany's history and the productswhich it pro duces . Since he is involvedin recruiting and assessing new talent,he described what his company looksfor in a potential employee andemphasized that the "mos t significanterror we can make is to have thewrong staff." Although they do notdiscount grades, extracurricular activities , his company is most interestedin ho w well the candidate can presenthis or her case to the prospectiveemployer. He suggested that the student submit a simple, legible resume ofone page, free of errors, and that helearn as much as he can about thecompany. its history, its organizationand its products. The candidate shoulddress for professional world sinceeverything the interviewer sees is a persona l statement abou t the candidate.In closing remark s, he summed up thethree candidates that are interviewed :those who lido not have it together,"those " who are fair, run of the millcandidates," and those "who arebright, willing candidates who will behired by Federal Products."
Mr. Thomas Marron, Account Executive with STORTI Associates,answered questions about professionalemployment agencies. He began bydescribing his firm as a service cornpany which provides services to corporations in the executive placementof Engineering and Manufacturingpersonnel. They represent the companies in their search for the propercandidates and their goal is to "connect" the company with the bestquali fied person. He stressed that recent college graduates have not "proven themselves" and do not have"track records" and thus should notexpect feasible results from agenciessuch as his. First jobs can be found byattending job fairs, by reading thenewspaper, and by mailing resumes tocompanies who are looking for entrylevel candidates. Mr . Marron stressedthe importance of the first job andthat all factors, not just salary, shouldbe considered when accept ing an offer. To stress how vital placement services are to companies, he remarkedthat they are paid up to $10,000 to findthe proper can didate for a particularposit ion .
