Russian to be changedto two-year program

President Hulbert has an-nounced that our Russian pro-gram will be changed to a two-year rather than a four-yearprogram. Students who are ju-niors in the program will beoffered the fourth year so theycan earn the Certificate ofTechnical Translation.Hulbert noted that one of the

recommendations of theCommission on the Task Force

on Global Education was thatour language programs shouldemphasize the cultural and so-cial aspects of foreign lan-guage education and reducethe emphasis on technicaltranslation.Hulbert said he hopes that

our foreign language programcan be expanded to includeSpanish, which was anothertask force recommendation.

Rose leads state in helping fill blood bankWednesday wasn't just another

blood drive for the Central In-diana Regional Blood Center.This was the day the local agen-

cy makes its quarterly stop atRose-Hulman, which has the high-est percentage of participation ofany Indiana college.In fact, Rose-Hulman's stu-

dents, staff and faculty annuallydonate five to seven percent of allblood given in the Terre Haute re-gion, according to CIRBC's MikeSullivan."The drives at Rose-Hulman

are always special, something ourstaff gets motivated for," Sulli-van said.

On this particular Wednesday,Rose-Hulman donated 297 pints —a record for the winter quarterdrive. Three blood drives are or-ganized in Moench Hall Au-ditorium during each academicyear. Rose-Hulman has now dona-ted 7,772 pints of blood since the1977-78 academic year. The rec-ord year was 1990-91, during Des-ert Storm, with 722 pints

"There's a sense of commit-ment by our students, faculty andstaff to donate to the local bloodbank," says Donna Gustafson,director of student activities atRose-Hulman. "This is one way

our students can assist the localcommunity, along with all of thefraternity service projects. Also,they have a lot of fun."

Student groups challenge eachother for prizes. A $25 prize wasgiven to Mees Hall, the hall withthe greatest number of partici-pants. The floor with the greatestpercentage of participants, Dem-ing Attic, will receive the use ofthe big screen TV for the quarter.A plaque is awarded each quarterto the fraternity having the high-est percentage of donations. T-shirts were given to every tenthdonor.

Graduates face mixed job market

by John WilliamsCollege Press Service

Despite an improving economy,college graduates face a mixedjob market this spring. More jobopportunities may be possible,but expectations for salaries arelower, according to a leading em-ployment report."There is widespread anticipa-

tion that the new administrationand Congress will put programsinto place to stimulate the econ-omy," said Victor Lindquist, as-sociate dean and director of place-ment at Northwestern University.He is the author of the 1993 North-western University Lindquist-Endicott Report.

The 47th annual survey of busi-ness and industrial firms nation-wide found that corporate Amer-ica is "relatively optimistic," butthat the outlook for 1993 graduatesis only slightly better than 1992,the worst market for graduates inthe past 20 years.Most of the 258 businesses sur-

veyed are cutting back on recruit-ment on college campuses and arereducing hiring in several dis-ciplines, most non-engineeringgraduates.

"Students will have to marketthemselves more effectively andhave more flexibility," Lindquistsaid. "They must realize thattheir 'dream job' may be in anoth-er location or at a level less thandesired."Some other findings of the re-

port include:*Students with degrees in

computer science will find an 18percent increase in job opportuni-ties.*Demand for students with

master's degrees in accountingwill fall nearly 66 percent.*At the bachelor's level, 47 per-

cent of the firms will need morepersonnel, but 42 percent willneed fewer new employees. Forstudents with master's degrees,42 percent of the firms will hiremore graduates, but 34 percentwill hire fewer students.*A majority of the firms con-

duct drug tests and many checkeducation and past employmentreferences. Many firms are nowusing psychological testing.*Students with degrees in

engineering can expect salaries0.2 percent higher than 1992 gra-duates; liberal arts, 1.3 percenthigher; and mathematics or sta-

tistics, 1 percent higher.

Patrick Scheetz, director of Col-legiate Employment Research In-stitute at Michigan State Univer-sity in East Lansing, found in anational survey that employersare projecting a decrease in thehiring of college graduates for thefourth straight year.

The results were reported inMichigan State's 22nd annualnational survey, which said thatthe most serious problem facingcampus recruiters is the limitednumber of minority and femalejob-seekers, and the need formore applicants with work expe-rience. Graduate students alsohave unrealistic expectations, thereport said.

*Employers are becomingmore selective about their newhires, and some firms won't con-sider applicants with a gradepoint average less than 3.0.

*Job availability, while com-petitive nationwide, is better inthe Southeast and North Central,and more competitive in theSouthwest, South Central, North-east and Northwest.

Opinion

German beer and health careby Kevin Neilson

Thorn Foreign Correspondent

I've heard it said that whenAmericans get drunk, they talkabout girls and beer, whereas Eu-ropeans contemplate politics overa brew. I've also heard it said thatGerman beer, which is requiredby old law to have no other in-gredients than hops, rye, water,and yeast, is far superior to Amer-ican beer. Perhaps the constrainton its contents omits the in-gredient that befuddles the in-toxicated American mind.However, this time the speaker

was a Canadian, and the beer wasIrish Guiness, a thick mixturewhich I believe could be used,after being treated withdecoagulating agents to reduce itsviscosity, power semis. It wasWednesday (yes, my Rose read-ership, Wednesday) and the thirdparty we had been to. The Guinesshad been having a visible effectupon the Canadian for quite sometime. He was attempting to speakin German, and his sentencestructure had degradedenormously. The subject washealth care and he repeated hismain thesis in a slurred voice:"Maybe it's just my Canadian up-bringing, but I think it is immoraland wrong to let a person die justbecause they don't have themoney to pay for medical care."He was, of course, referring to

the treatment of the less fortunateby the U.S. health care system.As we all know, health care was

a major issue in the last U.S. elec-

tion. During the campaign, thehealth care systems of many Eu-ropean countries, Germany inparticular, were cited as ex-amples which the U.S. should fol-low. What is so great about thesesystems?"In Canada, you don't have to

pay the doctor," the Canadian an-swered the question for me. "Andyou only have to pay a couple ofdollars for drugs."This is definitely the case here

in Germany. The doctor isn't paidby the patient. He sends his bill tothe insurance company (in themajority of cases, a branch of thefederal government) and the in-surance (government) pays thefees. But how much do the in-surance rates differ?I pay about $45 per month to be

covered by insurance here. This iswell over twice the rate I wouldpay at Rose. And this insurancerate is low, because it is the fee forstudents, who are not only healthi-er but also subsidized by the gov-ernment. Workers here may have15-20 percent of their pay withheldfor health insurance."So, the main difference be-

tween our systems," I questionedthe Canadian, "is that in your sys-tem, the sick and the healthy allpay the same, whereas with oursystem, the healthy save moneyand the sick are hit hard." Thehealthy and the sick pay the same,but one can always be assuredthat he will not be overburdenedshould he become sick. These arethe markings of any socialistsystem.

"Correct," he answered. "Butin your country, someone who hasbeen healthy and worked hard allof his life to save money cansuddenly lose all he has struggledfor if he gets cancer or something.And when his money runs out histreatments stop. That's just likemurder." Apparently he had got-ten most of his information from aCanadian-produced TV program.Most of his information was cor-rect, but he was also under theassumption that a dying personwas refused admittance to a hos-pital until he showed he had thecash to pay.I admitted there was some truth

to the fact that even with in-surance, one could lose his life'ssavings if he developed a seriousdisease. So it boils down to a ques-tion of whether it is better to bur-den everyone with increased fees,or let the healthy pay less and givethe sick astronomical fees?Socialism or capitalism? "Eventhe unemployed can get a waiverfor state insurance and still betreated as well as everyone else,"the Canadian informed me.But wait, there's more! "What

about the hypochondriacs who goto the doctor all the time becauseit is free?""Yes, we have those, but not too

many.""What about the quality of

health care?" I asked."Health care in the U.S. is the

best in the world. But it costsmore, and fewer receive it."

Letter to the EditorNormally I would just again

ignore Senator Young and lethim go about his way. But thistime I question his true intent.This Senate meeting took placealmost 2 months ago and he justnow decides to write this letter?Does the timing of this have any-thing to do with election time?In my opinion, Senator

Young's true motive was toattack Tom Tyson, the SGA VicePresident, before the Tuesdayelection. Vice President Tyson,as usual, properly conducted theDecember 15th Senate meeting.

After speaking with Presiden-tial candidate Kevin Hayes, Iknow for a fact that SenatorYoung is not working on Mr.Hayes' campaign (That's prob-ably to Mr. Hayes' advantage).In fact, Mr. Young worked onMr. Piper's campaign earlier

character and actions in a news-paper is not only immoral andunethical, but also illegal. In myopinion, Senator Young quicklyneeds to learn the difference be-tween fact and fiction before itgets him into even more trouble.

Senator Rob Wallace

In response to Senator MarkYoung's letter to the editor pub-lished in Friday's January 29thissue of the Rose-Thorn:

Once again Senator MarkYoung has twisted the factsaround to fit his needs. The mo-tion to "suspend the rules" doesin no way give absolute power to

the Vice-President during Sen-ate meetings. It simply allowsthe Senate to consider a bill orresolution, in this case the pur-chase of the SGA computer, outof order of business.Senator Young states that the

Vice President decided to kickout all students from the SGAmeeting. Once again SenatorYoung does not understand thatit was the Senate, not the VicePresident, who asked students,but more importantly the SGAExecutive officers who favoredthe purchase of an Amiga, toleave during the considerationof the proposal. Then Mr. Youngwent on and gave a nice littlespeech about student represen-tation, to which I could hear theBattle Hymn of the Republic.Sounds like a little propagandato me.

Straigthen up, sophomores?by Chad Zigler

Thorn Features Editor

On January 21, the sophomoreclass had the distinct pleasure ofbeing entertained by JamesEifert, vice president for academ-ic affairs and dean of the faculty.The meeting was called after thetopic of poor academic perform-ance by the sophomore class dur-ing the fall quarter was addressedat the President's AdministrativeCouncil.This meeting was a big surprise

to many students who were in-formed via the NeXT e-mail sys-tem. The message struck fear inthe minds of many, and othersscoffed at it. Rumors started tocirculate, and no one knew forsure what the meeting was about.At 5:15, the sophomores met to

listen to Eifert say, more or less,that we (sophomores) haven'tbeen doing well and that we needto straighten up. He informed uswith some startling statistics: 57sophomores (about 20 percent ofthe class) are currently on aca-demic probation, and the mid-term grades for Winter quarterweren't looking any better.Basically, it was one of those"shame on you" speeches.I don't mean to make light of the

matter. In fact, this issue shouldbe a major concern of both facultyand students. But the source of theproblem is were most of the con-flict arises. This is why I thinkEifert should have opened thefloor for comments concerningwhat the students thought. In-stead, he just scolded us and toldus to do better.

I believe the problem lies inmany areas. Yes, the studentsmay be struggling with theirclasses, but I don't think the prob-lem should be blamed completelyon them. With the continualchange in the curricula here atRose, the students often receivethe worst end of the deal whenthese new ideas are instituted.Basically, we serve as guinea pigsfor educational research.Isn't Rose supposed to be a

teaching institution and not a cen-ter of research? I agree that inorder for Rose to remain at the topof the engineering college rank-ings, the teaching methods haveto be constantly upgraded. But do-ing this at the student's expense isgoing a bit too far.Because of these kinds of

complications, I think some fac-ulty members need to take theirfeet off the accelerator and let thestudents catch up. With the im-plementation of computers intothe mechanical engineeringclasses in the 1993-94 school year,students are going to be hit againwith a change in the curriculum. Ihope the professors don't steam-roll the poor students with compu-ter problems in classes that arealready hellish, like Dynamics(just ask some of the survivorsabout the nicknames for thatclass).Rose-Hulman is already one of

the most rigorous engineering in-stitutions of which I know, and it isa leader in new educational tech-niques. But please, let's not over-do it. Maybe this moderation willbe the remedy the sophomoreclass is waiting for.

GERMAN: continued from Page 2So one advantage to our system

is better health care. Incidentally,the doctors here are the best paidin the world, which explains whymy hometown doctor emigratedfrom Canada to set up a practicein Indiana. I would venture to saythat our doctors are the best in theworld.I posed another question to the

Canadian. "If you need a surgeryin Canada, can you get it im-mediately?""Another advantage of the

U.S.," he conceded. ",is if youhave the money in the U.S., youget your surgery immediately. InCanada, you are put on a waitinglist for complicated surgeries.""So in Canada, more people get

health care, but they get less of it,both in quality and the amount oftime one has to wait for it. Tell methis. If one needs a vital surgery,and has to wait or has treatmentswidely spaced, and this individualdies whereas his counterpart inthe U.S. who received immediatecare recovers, isn't that also mur-der?"There is a fuzzy line there, he

admitted. I queried again."Aren't there abuses of the sys-tem? If doctors are paid by theamount of work they do..."He admitted that Canadian doc-

tors often overbook and rush peo-ple through, because they arepaid by volume."What we need," the Canadian

said, "is a combination betweenthe American and the Canadian/German system." I.e., bettercare, as in the U.S., for more of thepopulace, as in Canada. Takingthe best of these qualities requiresone important commodity — capi-tal. And more capital means high-er taxes.

I do definitely agree thatchanges have to be made in ourhealth care system. PresidentClinton and his wife, in charge ofmaking a draft of the new system,have some very important deci-sions to make. Some problems,such as the legal aspect of medi-cine and the lawsuits, may bechanged by legislation. But tomake an effective change in oursystem, it can be certain thathigher taxes will be needed.
