Words you might soon be hearingin Engineering rather than theBombshelter. Due to recent safe-ty concerns for both people and equipment,there has been talk about changing the doorlocking policy in the Engineeringbuildings.No one has actually suggested locking upat 6:00 pm every evening, but it is withinthe realm of possibility.

To this end, the Engineering Society ispreparing a report to the Dean on the issues

of Safety and Access. The purpose of thisreport is to let the Farulty know how weas undergraduates feel about safetyaccess in and around the engineeringbuildings. It will look for answers andfeedback to such propa;a1s as a completelock-up policy, keyed or card access,increased foot patrols or new programs.

The fundamental concern of the Facultyis the safety of students aI1d equipment.Vandalized abs cost money and damagedpeople hurt the reputation of the school aswell as morale on campus.

This report has a projected finishing

date of June 1, 1993, so we have to workfast Surveys and questionnaires will be inPOETS, the C D and your class boxe'splease take time to at least look at them, andreturn them to the Orifice. A discussionsession will be meeting in the EngineeringSociety office to address concerns andbrainstorm. This topic will also be discussed at the Engineering Sodety meetings.Any feedback or input may be directed toRon Butler (vp-Extemal), or StephenKings-ley-Jones (VP-Fmance) both of whom havemailboxes, and can often be found, in theEngSoc. office.

1 there, hope you had a goodwork tenn. We look forward to a

ood term - we've been busyarranging it, so you better enjoy it or eJseNow to business:

1. Engineering Society" n in goodfinancial status. ''E Society seemed tohave a lot of stress last term regardingmoney, we won't ask why .. after allthey're B Soc.(? ).

2. The Engineering Society budget willbe published somewhere on ~ pagenext ~ e . ll1e budget will be presentedfor discussion at the first Engsoc Meetingand pas sed Q10pefully) at the second. Anyquestions, please ask yours truly ASAP,we will not be entertaining much discussion at the second meeting.

3. 111i.s an open call to any who feelthey are not getting their money's worthout of Engsoc, or feel that the services weprovides are insufficient. Any complaintscan be directed to myself or the othe r exec.- write me letters, rome and see me (l'mlonely ..), but if there are no romplaints weare going to assume everything goingperfectly. Of course helpful suggestionswill be even more welcome.

the VPX handles matters external to theEngin eeri ng Society. Maj or responsibilities include communicating with otherEngineeri ng Societies, managing relationswith the rommunity, and providing services to external organizations (such ashigh schools and element aIy schools). Themandate for VPX pretty broad, leavingthe person in the pooition with a lot of freedom for taking on special projects. So, ifthere is something in this area that youthink needs doing just leave a message inmy box.

Well, that's the job in broad strokes.Hereare some spedfic things I plan to do.I will be continuing work on Clare

Stewart's initiative involving t he promo-tion of engineering. The idea here toronsolidateall our promotional rommuni-ty services (Shadow Program, CampusDay, Science Quest, etc.) into one co-ordinated, well-docurnented plan, and to getthe a ~ t r a t i o n , the faculty, and ourEngineering Society behind itI also want to have a look at faculty rela

TIe office of the Waterloo Engineering Endowment Fund is back infifth gear for yet another term ofspending. After spending over 70,roJ dollars last term, we have regrouped and,with the aid of some creative economics,are prepared to spend more money. (Foran overview of the equipment purchasedand other project funding please see the"WEEF Spends Big Cash. ." article). Theexact amount to be spent has not yet beendetermined.

Last term the funding ~ o n raised anissue as to the amount of funding thatshould be allocated to course relatedequipment purchases. With regard to thesuggestions presented by the WEEFBoardof Directors last term, the spendingprocess will be more standardized thisterm in terms of proposals and actualfunding of equipment purchases and pn:rjects. The trial scheme should promotestu-

ble problems. Any useful infonnation willbe brought back to the next CCES.

The Engineering Student SocietiesCouncil of Ontario ~ having its6th AnnualGeneral Meeting (AGM). TheESSe:o AGM being hooted at the University of Toronto the weeke nd of July 23-26 this summer. Basically the AGM atime when all the societies in Ontario gettogether to discuss things that need to bedone. There are lots of workshops (see meif you want the list) and the new F1OCOexecutive will be elected at this meeting.We need to send a delegation to representour Engineering Society, so i you areinterested talk to me, or talk to our F1OCOrep, Nancy Faessen.

One more thing. This project is not sopolitical and sure to be thrilling - this summer's Ring Road Classic. The Ring RoadClassic was traditionally a race for roadbikes around .. big surprise ..Ring Road.The last summer I was at Waterloo theroad racewas replaced by an off-road racefor mountain bikes. Very soon (likeNOW ) some decisions will have to bemade. Will it be a race for road bikes,mountain bikes, or both? Will it be open

to the rommunity or run exclusively forengineers? Will it be a race for licensed ornon-licensed racers (apparently there aresome laws prohibiting both from rompeting in the same race)? If you have strongfeelings about the answers to these questions LET ME KNOW S(X)N. Or betteryet, beoome the,EngineeringSocietyDirector for the Ring Road Classic (very presti-gious ) because this position not currently filled. In the meantime, I will search forsponsors for the race so we can have lotsof cool prizes.I rould just go on and on (this article just

flooooowed out) but I need to keep somesecrets so I have something to write aboutnext time. Now I must go and buya Jargerhat

Oleers,

Everyday is .. WEEF Daydent involvement i.n proposals and ensurethat more money allocated to the pur-cllase of rourse equipment.

l1'\e first funding council meeting hasalready been held and proposals havebeen distributed to all engineering relateddepartments. Standard proposal foons areavailable for all engineering staff and students who wish to request funding.Remember that the Endowment Fundaims to improve th e qualityof engineeringeducation. You can pick up proposalfoons in the Orifice. Student/st aff proposals are due in by Friday, May 28th (proposals may be submitted to VSC reps orplaced in Morgan Day's mailbox in theOrifice). After this, each department willreview relevant proposals and submit allproposals, including proposals from thedepartment heads,byMonday, June 7.

In ronclusion, although economic times

cue tight and tuition has in reaSt.>ci, theovemll VSC participation is abo It 75% ofall engin >('ring students. This shows abelief in what the WEEF is doing and willcontinue to do. On behalf of yourself Jwould like to thank you for your rontinued support of the Waterloo EngineeringEndowment Fund.

WPIRG An IntroductionDaryl NovakWPIRG Coordinator

WHAT Is WPIRG?----------------------------------W IRG is working to achieve ajust, environmentally-sound,and democratic sodety:- we facilitate research that explores

and documents social problems- we publish our work and hold

educational events in order tospread awareness of these problems,and

- we work to develop and implement solutions.WPIRG is a bridge between the cam

pus and the community. Students, whooften feel isolated on campus, have anopportunity to apply their knowledge topressing social concerns. At the sametime, community members gain access tovaluable information and participate inWPIRG's activities.

As a campus-based organization,WPIRG reflects the interest of students ingoing beyond Simply learning about injustice, hunger , and pollution.

WPIRG works together with community-based organizations to provide avehicle for doing something about theseproblems

.WPIRG is committed to participatorydemocracy, that is, the right of all peopleto real control over their lives, and to sharein the decisions affecting them. We chal-the ooncentration of power in oursoaety, an a vocate ways of redistnbuting that power.

HOW WPIRG G TS THINGSDONE----------------------------------True democracy depends on access to

information for all members of society.

Yet, knowledge in our society is notviewed as common property; instead, it isoften the private preserve of professionalelites, corporations, and state bureaucracies. wpm.G strives to break this knowledge monopoly through its research -which we call public interest research - bydigging, prying, and probing to bring outinto the open what would otherwise behidden or only partially revealed.

Public interest research exposes anddocuments problems, but it also analyzes.It penetrates be yond the surface elementsof a problem to explain the underlyingcauses, such as the inequitable dinomic and political power.

Finally, public interest research motivates action. It points towards solutions toa problem and the means by which thesesolutions can be implemented. Publicinterest research has as its goal, change; ithas as its message, act

Public interest research guides muchof what we do and is carried out by individuals through our research-for-creditprogram and by workgroups that areformed by WPIRG participants around aspecific issue of common interest.

WHAT WPIRG DOES: SOMEISSUES

Because WPmG is involved with awide range of issues - instead of concentrating on only one or two topic; - we canprovide a broad overview of the issuesconfrontingour sodety.

WPIRG has part icipated in the exploration of many issues: nutrition, food toxins and allergies, pesticide consumption,food and development, corporate concentration, acid rain, excess packaging, toxicwastes, tenants' rights, energy, women'srights, native solidarity, alternative (to thecar) transportation, and many others.

WPIRG sponsors seminars, conferences, workshops and other educationalevents, both on and off campus, in whichfaculty and students are encouraged totake part. WPIRG also maintains a largeresource centre.

GETIING INVOLVED WITHWPIRGWPIRG is a volunteer organization.

Volunteers are involved in virtually everyaspect of our workWe welcome anyone with an interest

in what we do. There are dozens of waysto bea:>me involved - from filing to takingon large projects.

Lack of previous organizational expe-rience is no barrier. Through WPIRG, youcan share knowledge and skills with others, and gain practical experience youneed to be effective in working for yourconvictions. You can learn things thataren 't taught in the classroom, like how tomake decisions cooperatively, and how toinfluence important political decisions inour sode ty (we hope ).

WHY GET INVOLVED?Everyone gets something different

out of their involvement with WPIRG.The benefits include:Accomplishment: WPIRG provides avehicle for people to work on the socialissues which concern them. Over the history of the organization, volunteers haveinitiated and participated in a tremendousvariety of projects and activities.

Skills development WPIRG offersworkshops, resources, practical experience, and other forms of support in developing a wide range ofusefulskills.

Work experience: Getting involvedwith WPIRG can be useful in developingmany transferable job skills, as well as afoundation for future work with similarorganizations.Empowerment Getting involvedwith wpm.G may help in overcoming acommon feeling of powerlessness and dis-couragement. WPIRG provides an opportunity to become active, develop confidence, and discover hidd en talents.

Community: Through WPIRG youcan meet other like-minded people.WPIRG is a friendly, supportive, (andunpretentious) environment in whicll todevelop your ideas and abilities.

WHAT VOLUNTEERs CANEXPECT-----------------------------------to be treated with respect and con

sideration,-to be given the degree of responsi

bility which we are able and will-ing to accept, and the supportand training we need in order tofulfill that responsibility,

-to have the opportunity to experi-ment and receive feedback in asupportiveway,

E erybodY who watches any latenight television has noticed age in the last few years. Whereonce the only companies advertising tolate-owls were pizza delivery services,now we are deluged with ''Hi, my name:isKathy. Let me give you my special number.

Yes, the era of phone-sex is upon us.Proponents of the services claim they aremerely providing a service to the lonelyand frustrated. Some would even go sofar as to say they are providing a valuableoutiet for those with anti-socia1 tendencies,allowing them to live out their fantasiesvicariously. The flaw in this logic is thatthere are always those who will wantmore.l1lose who use one of these servicesto fulfill violent fantasies will eventuallyfeel the need to go further, to live out theirfantasies. We can't stop all these people byeliminating tilese ads, but maybe we canstopa few.

n fact, this is the same argument putforward a few years ago by those who feltchild pomography should not be banned.They felt that by prOviding this service,they would reduce the number of childsexual assaults (since pedophiles wouldpresumably be satisfied with magazines).Of course this argument s false.

By promoting the view of women as anobject, something which may be called ona whim to fulfill a need, these companiesare doing everyone a grea t disservice. Itsabout time some of the television mediatook a look past the financial aspec ts ofthese advertisers, and into the socialaspects.

It's also high time we, as consumers oftelevision media, took a more active role inwhat we accept. Why is it we feel thattobacco is so evil it shouldn't be advertised, and yet allow these degrading ads?Exercise your power over what youwatch: change the channel. Better yet, if itoffends you, inform the broadcaster.

51 Is Not A PassDon Bowman3A Systems

n Monday night there was a stunUng statistic released by the llUnistry of the Attorney General. It

said tilat, in Ontario, 49% of the population ov er the age of 14 thought thatwomen provoked sexual assault, whetherthrough action or dress. l1lat is one in twoOntarians This further broke down as54% of men who thought this, and 44% ofwomen. Not that large a split. My firstreaction was one of disbelief: half the population couldn't be that ignorant, couldthey?

The sad fact is tilat there are many mis-informed people out there, people stillclinging to outdated notions. f I weremugged in the street, no-one would evensuggest it was my fault for owning or carrying a wallet.. Yet people will still sugges ttilat maybe if women dressed more con-

servatively, or didn't flirt so, or whatever,tllat tilere would be no sexual assaults.

11lis survey was commissioned by tileMinistry of the Attorney General to determine the effectiveness of a current ad cam-paign (you remeber the-date-rape ulzlast fall).

I still have a hard time believing Ule 49figure quoted by Marion Boyd, but tllat isactually irrelevant: any number greaterthan 0 is too high. The need for betterpublic education is quiteevident in this area

I would be curious to know what tileIron Wanior readers think We'll run aninformal poll, and tile results will be published in tile next issue. Anonymous submissions may be made to the Iron Waniorsurvey box (in the Orifice undemeatil tiledirectors' boxes). f you put your classname on tile submission, we will awardP* 5 points to your class.

Reader eedbackf you have any suggestions or criticisms of the

Iron Warrior please drop them off in the Iron War-rior Survey Box in the orifice. We will respond toall (serious) criticisms, and will take all suggestions under consideration.One of the problems in the past with the Iron War-rior has been that people take issue with someaspect of it, but never speak out. Through thisfor 'um we hope to better meet the needs anddesires of the students we serve. f somethingbothers you, don't just accept it: speak out (P**5points for each suggestion and comment received.)

things that i occasionally think aboutbye.

fhe other day i was wondering exactlyow long it will be before i will be ablesit tiU'Ough all of my classes withoutgetting angry . some professors ma keevery effort to create a classroom environment in which everybody can be comfortable. these professors definitely have theright idea, and they don't make me angry.hearing engineers (and most of the oilierabstract people tllat pop up in examples)referred to as "he" makes me angry. tllattired old excuse about man and hebeing generic terms doesn't make anysense to me. language reflects underlyingassumptions, and is deeply connected tothe way people think when "he" is us:edto refer to the generic engineer, i have nochoice but to decide that the speakerthinks engineers are inherently male. i

fuink tilat apologizing for sexist content inself-written course notes, texts, etc. is notgood enough. if the author really cared,ilie offensive material would already havebeen changed. those copyright and timerelated excuses are getting just about astired as that generic terms excuse. i'm alsonot really interested in hearing about whata big, huge effort it is to change a fewwords here and tilere. for example, saying"person hours" instead of "person hours- guess i can't say man hours tilese days"is quite beneficial; my anger is prevented;the speaker does not date tilemselves and(as a special bonus) also conservesbreath.

all i really want to do is to go to classand learn some things. when i'm angry,my learning is intenupted. i don't fuinkit's fair to me, and i don't fuink tilat i 'masking for too much.

What We Don't Learn In SchoolCathy Richardson1B Systems.N o-op students, we are constantly in tile job market. 11lis co-opertive education system is supposed to teach us job skills that we willneed in ilie "real world of professionalengineering. But when your classmategets hired by the company you wanted towor y umploy rs are looking for in a candidate?

A professional engineer who hires i1large number of employl'CS, both }Xnlltlnent and students, maink1.ins Umt there arefour tiungs that employers look for whenreading resumes and conducting inl'rviews. These four elements ar technicalskills, the ability to communicate, leadership and team-work skills, and nlarketil1gability. Our formal education provides usamply witil technical skills, but what ofthe other necessary skills?

Communica tion skills, which are essential in any career, are sadly neglected bythis, and nearly every university's, Facultyof Engineering. What use is an employeewho develops a revolutionary theory butcannot dearly explai.n it to anyone? Jobs inevery field, induding engineering, requireilie ability to express ideas and concepts inwords. Our education, however, providesno formal training in this area.

First-year students are required to passtile English Language Proficiency Exam,which consists of scrawling four hundredwords in 30 minutes about an inane topicof absolutely no relevance. A mark of 60%on this "exam" is considered proof of adequate communication skills. When I wrotethe ELPE, I had to discuss tile concept thatNo man is a fire hydrant Someone was

obviously scraping the bottom of the barrel when they picked tllat one ..

The ELPE aside, ti le only time tilat engineering students are required to use theEnglish language is when writing workreports. Altilough the guidelines for workreports are very clear on the location of

page numbers and Ule format of the titiepage, tilere is little empllasis on tile use ofdear and concise English. Work reportsseem to be marked based on footnote format and pretty CAD drawings ratiler thanon tile use of language.

S ou've put in your 5 years and goten your BASc., now you're finallyan engineer, right? Wrong. As mostengineering students know, a degree inengineering does not grant you the rightto call yourself a professional engineer orto put the letters P. Eng after your name;this right can only be granted by a professional engineering association.

Engineering, like many other professions, is governed by a professional association. In Ontario, this association is theAssociation of Professional Enginee rs ofOntar io (APEO). 11le APEO is responsible for tile regulati on of professional engineering practice in Ontario. It ensures tIUltits members act in a manner which protects fue interests of the public. Anyonewho wishes to practise engineering inOntario must obtain a professional engineering licence from the APEO.

There are 2 levels of professional engineering licence offered by tile Association.Engineers wishing to offer sezvices to fuepublic must obtain a Certificate of Authorization (C of A . Employee engineersneed only obtain an ordinary engineeringlicence.

There are several requirements whichmust be fulfilled in order to be licensedbythe APEO. FIrSt, you must IUlve a bache-

lor's degree in engineering from anaccredited prog ram in a Canadian university. Engineering progra ms at the University of Waterloo are accredited programs.Second, you must pass the Association'sProfessional Practice Exam (PPE), and youmust be at least 18 years of age, be a Canadian citizen or pennanent resident, and be"of good character."

lows the Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board's 1991 guide-lines whic h recommends the 4-year minimum.

What work experience qualifies? Currently, the Association requires that itshould " ..enable the applicant to meet thegenerally accepted standards of practicalskill required to engage in the practice of

To obtain a C of A 5 years of engineeringrelated work experience are required after

graduationThe Professional Practice Exam (PPE) is

a tIrree-hour exam covering professionalpractice, ethics, law, and liability. Thisexam is compulsory, even if courses IUlvebeen taken in these areas. Exemption isgranted to anyone who has been a member of another professional engineeringassociation for at least 5 years. The PPEcan be written after completing 12 monthsof engineering-related work. It is held 3times a year (May, September and Decem-ber).

To obtain a C of A, 5 years of engineering related work experience are requiredafter graduation. Yes, tl1at means tllat yourco-op work terms don't count. For anordinary engineering licence, fue Association currently requires the completion of 2year's work experience. After January 1,1995, fuis requirement will be raised to 4years of work experience. 1115 change fol-

As proof of the relevance of your experi-ence, you must provide the Associationwith the names of three referees. Onemust be your direct supervisor, tile othertwo must be P. Eng's with whom youwork, clients, or customers. If you applyafter completion of your 2, 4, or 5 yearswork experience, your referees will becontacted to determine if your experiencequalifies.

You may apply to the APEO any timeafter graduation. If you apply before thecompletion of fue required years of workexperience, you 'lave fue option of becoming an Engineer-In-Training EITJ. EITscan take advantage of many of the sezvices

provided by the APEO to P.Eng's. Theseinclude group life, automobile and household insurance, as well as career counselling and a subscription to the Association's magazine Engineering Dimensions".

Why should you go to the trouble ofobtaining your P.Eng? Well, you must bea P.Eng to give yourself any titIe of "Engineer". Any engineering designs must bestamped by a P.Eng's stamp. Many jobsrequire you to hold an engineering licence,and many companies offer a salary bonusto licensed engineer. Besides, you'vespent 5 years training to be an engineer,why not get the title too?

Application to the APEO costs $175.Writing the PPE costs an additional $100.Finally a registration fee of$175 is requiredafter completing tlle licence requirementsfor a grand total of $450. AImual dues are$115 for P.Eng's, and SO for EIT's.

Friday, May 14, 1993 The Iron Warrior Page 7Soylent Green is PeopleJohn Kasunic3A Systems

T:"e above phrase is the big secret inthe movie Soylent Green. Themovie portrayed a futuristic society

which had solved Earth's population andfood shortage problems. Citizens over acertain age (651 think) were taken away toa retirement colony or something and anew food. source "soylent green" was discovered. It turns out that these elderly citizens were actually killed and transformedinto soylent green. TIle protagonist of themovie discovers this and freaks out, running through the streets screaming "Soylent Green is People You're eating pe0-ple "

What does this have to do with engineering you might ask, and more importantly what's it got to do witll you ? Asfuture engineers and designers we mustYou're eating people

make sure tllat we do not make soylentgreen. Pretty easy thing to do you mightsay. I don't want to eat people. TIle inventors of the internal combustion engine andhair-spray probably didn't want to fry theEarth eitller, but their inventions directly

not an environmentalist and that I am notagainst new technology. Quite the contrary, I believe that the only way formankind to progress and to heal the Earthis by advancing our technology, but moreimportant than advancement is understanding. Two things that I am against areignoranceand h o r t ~ i g h t e d n e s s

As engineers it will be our duty to applynew discoveries in the manufacture ofeveryday items. It is necessary that weunderstand all aspects of new technologies before we apply iliem in our products. We do not need a lesson on moralethics (we know that eating people iswrong). What we do need is a lesson inresearch. Research is the Engineer's mostimportant tool, much more so tllan Calculusor Linear Algebra or even a Nicolet 4404-channel digital oscilloscope (privatejoke).

TIle degrees we will receive will be inApplied Science. Scientists are constantlytesting new products and teclmologies.

The good, wise scientists discovered thehole in tlle ozo ne layer; tlle benevolent scientists tell us that smoking causes cancer.It is the evil, malicious engineers tlmt produce the pr oducts responsible for the stateof the Earth (Military Hardware, automobiles etc. .

We need to be scientists when dealingwitll new technologies. There is no onemore knowledgeable about technology'simpact on society than a modern engineer.We know that making refrigerators forInuit would be useless. What we didn'tknow was that Asbestos is poisonouswhen we make brake pads out of it. If theengineers had known about the adverseeffects of asbesto s when they first startedmaking braking surfaces, chances are they

would not have used it. As engineers wemust research new materials, we mustbecome scientists. As professionals we areresponsible for our designs. TIlat is whywe cannot just simply apply new technologies in our designs. Engineering students should be required to take a courseon research gathering. We must get sec-ond opinions" on new 'discoveries' beforeapplying them. We cannot sinlply take theword of scientists for granted. We mustlearn that CFC's are bad for the environment, we must learn about the adverseeffects of asbestos and we must learn thatthis new miracle food called soylentgreen is made from people. All thesethings cannot be taught to engineersbecause of the already overwhelmingworkload we face.

Engineers are taught to solve problemswith creative thinking. A little of our thinking should be applied to research and notjust problem solving. We have all heardilie saying don't re-invent the wheel ,which tells engineers to research alternatesolutions to a problem. Perhaps a new saying Don't eat people" should be coined totell engineers to research new teclmologiesbefore blindly incorporating them intode signs.

Page 8 The Iron Warrior Friday, May 14,1993Co op System RevampAndrew Netherton1 B Mechanical

returning from their latestwork tenns, co-op students in allacuities were met with an

unpleasant surprise. This term's co-opsystem has undergone two separate, significant changes, designed to speed the jobacquisition process.

As rumour has been the most common path for the facts about the new system to follow, many erroneous beliefs anddistortions of the truth have occurred.Such rumours include a 24-hour responsetime to anyone job offer, and studentsbeing responsible for mailing out theirown resume. Neither of these are true,along with the majority of other such stories floating around the campus.

To clarify, only two processes havebeen changed in the co-op system. FIrst,there will be no Want Ads published. Alljob offers will be pa>ted in Needles Hall,as well as in MC and EL

Second, students will be responsiblefor creating their own "resume package",including the mandatory Co-op StudentRecord, Student Examination Report, andresume, as well as any other informationthe student cares to include.

Aside from these changes, the systemremains largely the same, including jobrankingand scheduled interview weeks.

John Westlake, Program Administrator for Engineering, explained that exactdetails are not available at this time, asnothing yet is official, or agreed upon .Meetings are still taking place, and feedback from both employers and studentsalike is being collected. An official,detailed version is hoped to arrive sometime within the next few days.

The aim of this revamped system is to~ ~ 4 2 of studentsplaced by the firstday of the work

term"get into second rounds earlier than thecurrent system, thereby increasing thechances of everyone finding a job. Westlake agrees that "42% of students placedby the first day of the work term" is notacceptable. '1'd like to see all studentswork ing the first day of the work term."

A week of valuable job-finding timewill be saved by eliminating the enteringand processing of all job application formdata, copying Co-op Student Records andExamination Reports, and filing andretrieving resumes.

tion forms, data entry, and then interviews, spanning approximately tenweeks. The remodelled system hopes toreduce this process time. As an addedbonus, through posting all jobs, noemployer will have to be told to wait untillate pa>tings come out until their job canbe advertised. This may not only keepemployers coming back, but may attractnew ones.

What this system amounts to is atransition stage, from the old Want Ads- job application forms system to a moreinstantaneous on-line service, aiming tocut down the entire cycle time of theprocess to a few weeks, or less. For now,the "resume package" idea will be testedthis summer, and although it will be toolate for this group of co-op students, theon-line service will hopefully be operational this fall.

Despite the increased chances of getting a job sooner, and the reduced cycletime of this transitional system, studentswill still have to endure a virtual mosh-festaround the job postings, in addition tohaving to payout of their own pockets tocopy roughly double the amount ofpaperwork necessary for their resumepackages. Unfortunately, any intangiblebenefits inherent to the new system willnot calm students faced with somethingnew, untested, and worse of all, their onlyoption.

able to help save the environment andpossibly save you money. Each week the. :will change to cover as many aspectsas possible. If you have any tips that youwould like to share, please feel free to dropthem off in the Iron Warrior mail boxlocated in the Orifice.

This issue's tips will deal with energysaving tips durin g the swnmer.

Cover the windows during the hottestpart of the day. Keep your blinds or curtains dosed. Even close your windowsdur ing mid-d.ay. You may think you aregetting fresh air in your house but you areactually getting hot air from outside. Ifyou don't have curtains or blinds for yourwindows, you may want to leave the window open a bit to prevent the greenhouseeffect in your room

Although most of you starving studentsdon't have air conditioning, those of youwho do may want to turn the room airconditioners down when you leave aroom for 5 minutes or more. Consideringthat most air conditioners are anywherefrom 750-1050 watts, it should be left -offwhen out of the room. When you return,you will get almost instant gratificationwhen you tum it back on anyway. If youare really lucky and have central air, tumthe temperature up 5 degrees Celsius ifyou are going to be away for most of theday or tum it right off if you will be awayfor a day or more.

Tum off your fan if you'll be out of theroom for 5 minutes or more. If you leave iton while you sleep, you may considerputting it on a timer so it will tum off afteryou fall asleep.

Turn off appliances and lights when

you don't need them on Lights especiallygenerate a lot of heat and should be left offif not needed.

Open the bathroom window or tum onthe exhaust fan to get rid of all that heat inthe bathroom after someone has taken ashower.

Put the sunshine and warm air to usefor you If you want to whiten clothes, usethe sun instead of bleach. Dry your hairand clothes in the warm airand the sun.

Run dishwashers, washing machines(and if you have to use them) dryers in theevenings when demand for energy is less(after about 11 pm). It will prevent theneed for building more power stations byusing the electricity during the non-peakhours. I learned on my work-term justhow much industries are being chargedfor use of elecbicity during the peak hoursand was shocked

Turn down the temperature on your hotwater heater and try washing y our clothesin cold water.

In North America, every person consumes the energy equivalent of 22 barrelsof oil at home every year. There is plentyof room for you to conserve comfortablywith justa small effort.

had a good work term and I hope Ulat thissummer goes just as well.

Since I'm from the off-stream some ofyou may be wondering who the *&o/o# Iam. Well, my name is Colin, I just finishedmy 3B term in Mech Eng and I am also Ule"B" soc Treasurer. Right now, I'm working here. as a Graphics lab T.A. (I speekgooder English too ). I'm 5'-7", have blackhair, enjoy walks in Ule park. good dinnersand swimming. My ideal date wouldbe ..oops wrong newspaper [try the Pennysavef - ed].

A lot has happened d uring the last fourmonths. The co-op system is changing inthe fall to a system that is similar to sec-ond-rounds. The preliminary frameworkgoes something like this. An ad for a jobgoes up on the N bulletin boards onTuesday. At the same time, the ad is alsouploaded onto WA1STAR You read thead (eiUler physical ly or electronically) anddecide that you want it. You then prepareyour own resume packag e (cover letter,academic transcript, letters of reference ..)and hand it in the next morning at Needles Hall. The employer reads through allthe packages and selects those who theywant to interview.

A few days later (co-op estimates aweek) an interview list goes up and thepeople on it will be contacted throughWA1STAR After the company finishesthe interviews, they will decide who theywant to hire and will immediately contactboth the individual and co-op. At thispoint, you will have to decide whetheryou want this job or not. If you do, thenyou go into Needles Hall the next day andfill out the paperwork If you refuse, thenthe co mpany contacts the next person ontheir list. There are still some bugs that

need to be ironed out and co-op is welcoming any input through SAC (StudentsAdvising Co-op).

nlere are several key points in this system. First, there was a heated debate inone of our council meetings about thelength of time studenls should have beforeaccepting or rejecting apb oHer. Should itbe 1-day, 3-mployer's requirements. Ther was a oncem that 80mpeople would all'r their academicscript. Third, h w long sh uld th company hav to decide who they are going tointerview? Plec'lSe talk to Ule Eng-Soc SACrep if you hav any questions or comments.

On a lighter note, during the winterterm, Eng-Soc received some money fromthe Student life Fund for a new fridge inthe Orifice and a new stand-up bar forPOETS. The new fridge should be heresoon and the bar should begin construc-

a new stand up barfor POETS.tion in August. What is the Student LifeFund? Remember that referendum aboutthe Student Life Building about threeterms ago? Well, one of the results of thatreferendum was Ulat studentswould contribute to the Student Life Building only ifthey could see some immediate benefits.As a result, the Student Life Fund was created.. This fund has a mandate to improveaccessibility,safety and general student lifehere on campus. If you have a project thatfalls within the fund's mandate that youthink deserves some money, then pleasetalk to either myself (Graphic Lab) or JohnLeddy (Campus Centre).

Well, Ulat's it for now, I'll spew somemore in the next issue. 'Nuff said.
