4—N. ews THE COLLEGIAN MondayJVf ay 2,1994 TASK, from page 1 Among the items the task force is putting forth is smaller class sup. The items the task force indicate are not really recommen¬ dations, but the task force is sim¬ ply identifying possible problems found in the general education program. The GE Task Force has been meeting weekly since die middle of November and they are just now ready to move on to phase two of their review, which in¬ cludes recommendations for re¬ visions of GE. Hoff is going before the Aca¬ demic Senate simply to give them an idea of where they presently stand. There will be no voting on any of the issues as of yet; the voting wiU probably not take place until next semester. The main question now is who will head the task force in the future since Hoff will not be work¬ ing with them for much longer. Although Hoff will no longer be associated with the task force, he seemed confident that they will be successful. "It's an interesting process, and a complex program," Hoff said. "But we have made progress." The task force will continue meeting into the fall '94 semes¬ ter, in which they willcontinue to steadi ly work towards their goal of implementing all of the ideas they come up with as a team. Their next weeks' agenda calls forjhem to start identifying prob¬ lems with in the breadth courses divisions 1-9. Free rooms for fighting fires COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE Portland, Maine-While most students at the University of Southern Maine in Portland are safely nestled in their beds, three students who work for the Gorfaam County Fire Depart¬ ment are fighting blazes and re¬ sponding to other emergencies. In exchange for the odd hours and tough work the students re¬ ceive free room and board and $5.75 an hour when they re¬ spond to an emergency call. The students are required to be in the station from Sunday to Thursday, 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Since the program began four years ago, the station has had no problem finding students will¬ ing to become part of-the fire rescue team. Although students are re¬ quired to sign a six-month con¬ tract, all of the students have elected to stay longer. Chief Robert Lefebure at¬ tributes the success of the pro¬ gram to the excessive cost of housing in the Portland area. "The students have it better staying here for free," he said. There are no set requirements for the program, but Lefebure said he prefers students who are physically fit and have previous fire fighting experience. ."We're looking for students who belonged to their home¬ town fire and rescue and al¬ ready have an interest in the : :'d ■ Two essential ingredient* for a perfect date: _) A date and this. K • yoy. vza**t to be.' \ O VIM U.S.A. Inc. 1994 service," he said. In addition to responding to calls, the students help the clean¬ ing and maintenance of the fire station. During the winter months the students also help shovel snow from fire hydrants. 'It's a good way for them to earn some extra money," Lefebure said. Students attentive to violence COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE p Greensboro, NC - Students in Dr. Emily Edwards' class take notes when tiiey see reports of shootings, bombings, plane crashes and car wrecks on the evening news. They pay close attention to "gangsta" rap music, prime-time TV dramas, children's cartoons, professional sports and video games. N The activities are required viewing in Edwards' freshman seminar on "Violence.in the Mass Media" offered at the Uni¬ versity of North Carolina at Greensboro. "The students are getting a chance to examine a topic that they've probable heard a lot about and have been exposed to, but haven't really studied," said Edwards, associate professor of broadcasting. "I think it's been an eye-open¬ ing experience for them." Since the seminar began, See SEMINAR, page 5 Spring 1994 Used Book Buyback May 19-27 Thurs. May 19 ..8:00-6:30! Frr.
