Emphasizes Cooperation (third in a series)

by Louis Schultz

When Mike Blackburn, Research Associate for the Office of Student Life, invited me to participate in the Woodstock weekend Retreat, images of 'flower power,' streakers, and Jimi Hendrix flashed through my mind. "Isn't that just a big desolate farm field now?" was how I responded.

The course of my misdirected thoughts were quickly corrected however, when Blackburn ex­plained that the Woodstock I'd be going to was Woodstock, Illinois.

Two weeks later, I found myself, along with other student leaders, stepping off a bus at the Woodstock Conference Center

near suburban Woodstock, Il­linois. The purpose of our weekend retreat would be to attend seminars designed to enhance student performance in group leadership environments.

The Woodstock Center pro­vided us with conference rooms, a lounge, and adjacent rooms where we could later retire for the eve­ning. The facility is situated on a 74 acre wooded lot with a private lake, hiking trails, and recreation facilities. The wooded surround­ings of the center provided a relaxes envirorunent, where confer­ences take place with minimal distractions.

Tom Descenzo, Director of Stu­dent Life, described our mission as, " ... participating in an atmos­phere that... will enable us to learn and interact so that we can all learn to work together."

Students involved in Student Life clubs and organizations at GSU were required to participate

in the conference retreat. The event was held on October 21st and 22nd.

Throughout the weekend, stu­dents participated in several workshops, which were geared specifically toward eliminating problems faced within groups and organizations. Catherine Taylor, Dean of Student Affairs and Ser­vices at GSU, led off the event, with a presentation describing the governing structure, and adminis­trative bodies in lllinois higher education. Taylor outlined the process of proposing a tuition in­crease, as an illustrative example to convey to students how dif­ferent administration levels in the state interact to finalize such a proposal.

In a conference titled "Time Management," students were pre­sented with 13 questions regard­ing meetings and orgamzations. One question read, "Should stu-

The Innovator has been running a series of articles on drugs in the United States. One of the most shameful realizations of this in­vestigative series has been that the C.I.A., and members of the Reagan administration appear to have been using the drug trade to finance the Contras in Nicaragua

Researching into the drug prob­lem we have been stumbling over accusations that covert efforts to supply the Contras involved the CIA. and the Reagan Administra­tion in special arrangements with the Columbian Drug Cartel as a means of raising funds to finance clandestine "GUNS FOR DRUGS" operations.

We have encountered several news articles, books. speeches. and television news documen­taries which make a strong case for the contention that over zealous fanatical members of the federal government have inflict­ed a major drug epidemic on the United States-in a cynical effort to circumvent Congressional re­strictions on Contra Aid.

With the assistance of Pro­fessor Nancy Shales. we gained access to the UMI Newspaper Ab­stracts which are stored on disk in the GSU Library. On the first run through we encountered the following information:

Los Angeles Times April 7 1988: Sec. 1, pg. 13

By-line: Paul Huston Fonner pilot tells Senate sub­

committee that US govt. paid him to deliver supplies to Contras while he was dru� smu�ling.

Boston Globe Apr 8, 1988: pg. 1 coil

Headline: Congress is told of Con­tra tie to drugs

Convicted drug kingpin and for­mer Contra leader George Morales tells congressional committee about drug money going to Con­tras with knowledge of CIA: By-line: Michael Kranish

Los Angeles Times May 29, 1987: Sec. I, pg 1 5 col. 1

Charles B. Rangel, chm. of House select com on narcotics. accuses CIA, Justice Dept. of in­terfering with probe mto link be­tween Contra supply flights, drug smuggling.

The most damning case against the government is made in the 1987 book "Out of Control " by Leslie Cockburn of CBS News. In this book Ms. Cockburn docu­ments the callous actions of the Reagan Administration in taking part in the drug trade as a means of partially funding covert Contra activities. The basis of the book is research and interviews conduct­ed with people involved in Contra support activities. Of particular interest are chapters nine and ten which bring the whole "Guns For Drugs" picture together with overwhelming clarity.

In these sections she docu­ments the story of Ram' on Milian­Rodriguez, a convicted drug money launderer who handled more than $200 million a month for the Columbia Drug Cartel. Milian-Rodriguez got his start in the money laundering business in the mid-1970s when he arranged the covert delivery of several million dollars in CIA funds to Anastasio Somoza the fanner dic­tator of Nicaragua.

Live from Tinseltown:

Need a break from your studies? Have you been sitting too long? Come join the Campus Com­munity Center for an aquacise class either once a week, twice a week or three times a week. Are you thinking now that you don't know how to swim- don't worry, you don't need to learn to swim to enjoy the water aerobic classes. The class is held in the shallow end which is 3'9" with an added benefit of not having to get your hair wet!!

by Ron Young A contemporary fairy tale?

Once upon a time there lived the "Teflon King" and his queen. They presided over a wonderland where all was believed well - at least in "Kings" blind eye. Being blind to the thought that there were problems in his own land, he needed to enhance his image as a decisive action oriented king. "Star" had told him this. His des­tiny would not be assured unless he demonstrated. the ability of a decisive leader. She had read it in a comic book of Zodiac signs. "Star" had a thing for astrology.

"King" was not allowed in the bathroom until "Star" checked out his chart first. If his moon was not in the right house, his lower level constitutional functions would be in for a tough day. He would be forced to give up throne sitting, porcelain type or state type until his stars got their act together. ''King" loved to sit on the throne. It fed his self image. When he was on the throne he could wax nostalgic about the times he chased the bad guys out of "Death Valley," and saved the maiden from the crooked land speculator. Being deprived of such kingly rights af­fected his place in the cosmos, and sense of destiny.

"King" and "Star" did agree that he would have to find some ac­ceptable adversity to overcome. Nothing domestic, domestic prob­lems were not a part of his creed. He had a fetish about government intervention in domestic prob­lems. It was acceptable to muddle around in the affairs of other 'lations, but the people or his kingdom were expected to go it alone. It was a matter of principle with him.lf you did not have clout, 'tough tomato," any worth while citizen of his kingdom was expect­ed to learn how to connive on their own. "King" had no tolerance for the free lunch unless you were connected up with the right crowd.

Poverty was a just punishment for those who lacked the clout to pillage the system. "King" had pontificated loudly on that topic during his rise to power. His citizens had blessed it with fervor. He had to find another cause - a common enemy. Something that would allow him to speod billions

policy geared toward accomplish­ing goals.

Dom Dascenzo presented a conference session titled "Meet­ing Robbers," in which students reached a consensus that group meetings are not necessary dur­ing all decision making processes. Several 'meeting robber' types were outlined during the confer­ence. Examples included: 'The Show orr - the person who is clever, but does not contribute to grou goals; 'The Abuser' - a person who criticizes everyone's con­tributions; and 'The Ramblers' -people who think that everything is pertinent to them.

Students concluded the weekend retreat by going on a hike through wooded areas surrounding the conference area. As a participant, I felt the trip was a worthwhile ex­perience where I gained useful knowledge.

I thought the premise of getting a group together to discuss how to improv.e group relations and goals, was an ingenious concept.

Counselor's Financial Aid

easier to obtain

by Peggy G. Woodard Col unm UNIVERSITY PARK -Changes

in the federal financial aid for­mula for college are making it easier for persons with depend­ents to receive aid.

Annabelle came to the Office of Student Development a few weeks ago to talk with a counselor regarding her hearing and speech impairment. Her COf\Cern was not with the fact that her speech and hearing is impaired, but the way in which people react to her because of the handicap. In her classes, An­nabelle feels that her instructors and other students are afraid to approach her with questions or to include her in general class dis­cussions. She realizes that it takes a little more time for her to com­municate; however, she has a lot of ideas that she would like to ex­press and share with others. Out­side of class, Annabelle has tried to get involved in various student discussions and activities. She stated that everyone is always "nice," but they appear to be un­comfortable talking with her and treat her special or different than their nonhandicapped peers.

Annabelle is representative of a lot of handicapped students at GSU who do not want any special treatment, but want to be accept-

ed based on their ability, knowl­edge, motivation, personality, etc. just like everyone else. All of us can benefit from sharing our time and knowledge with handicapped as well as nonhandicapped stu­dents. Hopefully, we can increase peer awareness of handicapped students as individuals as op­posed to just categorizing them as handicapped. I urge ycu to make a special effort to talk with and in­teract with handicapped in­dividuals as you do with others at this institution. In addition, if you are a handicapped student or have a concern regarding this issue, you may want to talk with a coun­selor in the Office of Student Development which administers the Handicapped Student Ser­vices Program. Counselors in thii office see students with a rang� of problems, including personal, academic, and career issues. All counseling sessions are confiden­tial. For an appointment, contact Peggy Woodard, Counselor, in B1400 or call 534-5000, extension 2142.

According to Douglas McNutt, assistant director of financial aid at Governors State University, persons who are married, married with children or single parents may qualify for aid this school year.

"If you're an independent stu­dent with dependents and you've been turned down for student financial aid in the past, I suggest you apply again if you feel the aid will help you continue your educa­tion," McNutt said. "You may be pleasantly surprised.

"Many students who in the past were disqualified could find they are now eligible for grants and/or government subsidized student loans because regulations allow for additional deductions before determining their available in­come for educational purposes."

The changes will make more in­dependent students with depend­ents eligible for low-interest government subsidized student loans, and perhaps some grant money in lower income categories, McNutt explained.

Professor Blood does research

with introverted children UNIVERSITY PARK-What

can a teacher do with an introver­ted child who finds decision­making difficult?

Research on school children and teachers in the Minooka School District by Dr David Blood, a professor at Governors State University. may lead to several workable suggestions.

Nearly 500 children in the Minooka schools have been test­ed in the largest student per­sonality-type study in the U.S.

The research uses the Myers­Briggs Type Indicator that helps one understand if the test taker is an introvert or an extrovert, pre­fers details and specifics or the "big picture," is a logical thinker or has greater tendencies towards making decisions based on their emotional impact, and is someone who can make judgments prompt­ly or prefers to consider the sug­gestions longer before drawing a conclusion.

Test questions for children in­clude: "In a new school, making friends is A) Exciting or B) Hard. A teen should A) Play well and win or B) Get along and win." Test questions for adults include: "Does following a schedule A) Ap­peal to you or B) Cramp you. Do you usually get along better with A) Imaginative people or B) Realistic people."

Minooka Schools Superinten­dent Dr. Tom Allen decided to test his students to determine if per­sonality traits had a correlation to learning ability. Children in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 were test­ed in reading, math, science, so­cial studies, and language in Spring 1988 and again in Spring 1989.

All teachers in the district took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test for adults.

Allen said he and Dr. Blood decided to test students and teachers to get data for three fin­dings: What children achieve �st in what environment? Do certain personality-type teachers get bet­ter results from certain person-

ality-type students? If teacher and children personality types match, does it guarantee better results?

Dr. Blood said the intention of his work is not to get teachers to change their personalities, but rather for teachers to understand that all children don't process what is being presented in class the same way.

While research continues, Dr. Blood said some observable trends are occurring. Data for the grades 3, 4, 5 group shows chil­dren who had a more difficult time at deciding and answered more questions "undecided" tend to have lower achievement scores than their class as a wole.

Many of those children are from homes with family problems, he said. Teachers have already begun to put several activities into place that will help children recognize they are not all the same and that each of them can develop a strong self-concept, the

superintendent explained. Although the grades 3, 4, 5

children are still quite young and decision-making may not be perti­nent in all areas, Dr. Blood said it is believed personality traits are developed by the time a chidl is age 5.

School children are "looking for nurturing" Dr. Allen said, but teachers generally have struc­tured class activities as though all children were the same. Those who weren't able to join in where considered to have problems.

Now, Dr. Allen said, his teachers are recognizing that children need nurturing in dif­ferent ways. "Because we recog­nize that each child has a different personality," he said. "it is our in­tention to do the best job we can for the development of the child."

As part of a recent journalism assignment at GSU, students were asked to search the campus for story ideas.

Each student had to look any­where on the grounds or inside the university itself, for five topics that might turn into newspaper stories. Maybe even good ones.

Some of the topics that were a result of the observations were pretty interesting.

For instance, why do the rest­room faucets here only allow you to wash one hand at a time, won­dered one student. And the lack of lighting in the restrooms is said to deflate even the strongest ego looking in the mirror.

While digging for stories, another student reported the uni­versity is digging for a new patio. You may have noticed the con­struction in progress outside and it has nothing to do with Archeol­ogy 301. Which the college doesn't offer anyway.

The quality of the water, not atGSU but in University Park

well, was mentioned as a seemingly frightful topic. The

turned someone's hair ··navid Bowie orange" while she was shampooing, one student claimed.

The Wednesday evening News­writing and Reporting class. taught by Linda Steiner. provides some other relevant but tamer issues.

Things such as parking prob­lems. the non-smoking area in the cafeteria. drainage of rain water, an update on GSU athletic pro­grams, why the cafeteria. book­store and other facilities are closed on Saturdays. the wonder­ful "car sculpture" and clean­liness on campus.

"There aren't enough garbage cans," Steiner said, agreeing with the suggested topic.

Tammy Cantelo, a student in the journalism class, said a good story might answer why class­rooms never provide clocks.

"Especially for teachers," she said, on behalf of students who anxiously await a break in the middle of three hour lectures.

So dont' be surprised if one or more of these topics turn out to be real stories in future issues of the INNOVATOR.

Above all, feel free to be an ob­server and report story ideas or comments relating to student life at GSU to me.

I might need some help when I run out of these.

Grad present art show UNIVERSITY PARK - Gover­

nors State University presents a graduate art show by Lynn Rozyc­ki through Nov. 15 in the GSU Art Gallery.

"Sewing Impressions" is a free exhibit featuring 20 prints by Rozycki. Through her printmak­ing classes she developed talents in lithographs, intaglio, silk screens, wood cuts and mono­prints, and her prints show will feature each of these techniques.

Rozycki said her intention is to "glamorize s�wing; to show it from the artist's viewpoint as art that can be hung on a wall rather than something you wear."

The Matteson resident has a bachelor's degree in art education from the Umversity of Wisconsin­Oshkosh and a certificate from the National School of Dress Design. In the future Rozycki said she would like to apply printmaking techniques to fabric.

Rozycki's exhibit can be viewed from 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, Nov. 3 through 15, and dur­ing her graduate show reception at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 7.

For further information on this show contact the GSU Division of Fine and Performing Arts at (312) 534-5000, extension 2461.

The Public Forum : Opinions on University Concerns

Students need better nou rishment The Weekend College is turning

out to be very successful as re­sponses to surveys have proved. There is however. one area that should be given more considera­tion, and that is to keep the cafeteria open on Saturdays. Stu­dents that are studying hard in class need more nourishment

Dear Innovator,

As a GSU student, I find that there are no quiet places for stu­dents to study nowadays. Now that the trimester is beginning to wind down, the problem has gotten much worse. Recently, I was in the library and found no place where I could sit down and do any of my

than a vending machine can pro­vide especially if they are in class all day.

Since the vending machines do a good business on the weekends why not keep the cafeteria open when the Weekend College is in session? A suggestion would be to open the cafeteria a half hour

before the Weekend College begins and close it a half hour after the last break or keep the same hours as Friday.

These students and others that take workshops on the weekend work full time, and spend at least an hour traveling to and from the

university. Who wants to get their meal from a machine after going through all that? It would be so much nicer to be able to get a hot meal before going to class.

The cafeteria prepares meals for workshops on Saturday, so it would make sense to open the cafeteria to all students, main-

Student says GSU is too noisy work. Even when I do find a seat in the library, there always seems to be some rude people who like talk­ing to their friends, and they are totally unaware that they are distracting.

I used to study in the cafeteria next to the old YMCA center, but now they have a TV set there with

the volume set so high, that I can barely hear myself think. Worse yet, the university recently in­stalled video games in the same area. To compensate for the noise of these machines, students turn up the TV set volume even higher! Home life must be getting pretty bad when students come to a uni­versity to watch TV.

On Wednesday night, when I have classes, the situation in the computer lab gets pretty chaotic. It's usually very hard to find a computer terminal that is not being used. It's even more dif­ficult to find one that has a printer attached, or one that is not being used.

I think that GSU should con-

!Poe fry

taining regular Saturday hours. What's the difference if the cafeteria people have to prepare one meal for a workshop or keep open for the rest of the students? They will have to use the kitchen to prepare the meals, in either case.

sider adding more QUIET study areas in the future, in order to combat this problem. I am sure that there are many other stu­dents here that will agree with my position.

GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUT.

I AMERICAN WCANCER � SOCIElY

A FEW QUIT TIPS

Hide all ashtrays, matches, etc.

Lay in a supply of sugarless gum, carrot sticks, etc.

LEAVE THE PACK BEHIND Drink lots of liquids, but pass up coffee & alcohol.

Tell everyone you're quitting for the day. Join the Great American Smokeout on Thursday,

November 1 6. M i l l ions of smokers across the country wi l l take a break and try not to smoke for 24 hours. How about you? Or, if you don't smoke, adopt a smoker for the day and promise to help that friend get through the day without a cigarette!

When the urge to smoke hits, take a deep breath, hold it for 10 seconds, & release it

slowly.

Exercise to relieve the tension.

Try the "buddy system," and ask a friend to quit too. 89-6MM-No. 5680-LE

The 13th Great American Smokeout is coming; mark your calendars for Thursday, Nov. 16. For smokers this could be your lucky day-quit smoking for 24 hours and with luck, you may decide to become quitters for good. Who knows? This could be your year to become one of the 40 million ex-smokers in the U.S. today.

U you're a friend or a co-worker of a smoker, plan to adopt him or her for the 16th. The Personnel Of­fice has adoption papers, buttons, stickers, and postcards to help you. Give a lot of positive support and make it a fun day. Provide a survival kit with raw veggies, fruit, sugarless gum and candy, straws, pencils to chew on, etc. A lunch or dinner can be a reward

for making it one day without smoking or flowers, candy or balloons can be used to celebrate. Give up something that day you dearly love-alcohol, chocolate, soaps-misery loves company!

Nicotine is as addictive as heroin and cocaine and will kill 390,000 people in 1989 according to the American Cancer Society. Nicotine increases blood pres-

sure and heart rate and can paralyze breathing. It is about as lethal as cyanide-and smoke pollutants such as carbon monox­ide can endanger the health of children and co-workers. We en­courage all smokers to join the challenge of 24 hours without cigarettes-you can do it!

Please participate-take one day at a time!

I would see you walk to nursing school,

Because you didn't have money for the bus,

Giving it everything you had. To make life better for us.

Mother, I am so grateful for you,

And I thank God that you are mine,

Because of your trials and tribulations,

I'll make it through life just fine.

Searching for Planet X What would it be like to dis­

cover a planet? Or to spend years searching for something beyond the known bounds of the solar sys­tem? Share that excitement and explore the. possibility of a planet beyond Pluto with the Planetar­ium's newest Sky Show "Search­ing for Planet X."

Only one human being alive today has discovered a planet, notes Planetarium Semor As­tronomer Phyllis Pitluga, author of the Sky Show. "Although most people don't realize it, Pluto was discovered as recently as 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh."

The term "Planet X," according to Pitluga, is used to designate a planet that scientists believe ex­ists but that has not yet been seen. "Pluto was once a Planet X. If Tombaugh had not been executing a methodical search, Pluto might have remained unknown for decades." Actually, the two planets farthest from the sun -Neptune and Pluto - were dis­covered as the results of searches

for predicted planets. \ Uranus, the seventh planet

from the sun, was discovered by accident in 1781 by English amateur astronomer William Herschel as he was mapping the distribution of stars. Irregular­ities in the orbit of Uranus led mathematicians to suspect the ex­istence of another planet. How­ever, due to politics and a lack of enthusiasm on the part of as­tronomers, Neptune was not dis­covered until 1846, a couple of years after the original predic­tions were made. Irregularities in Neptune's orbit and the fact that Neptune could not completely ac­count for the differences in Uranus' orbit led to the prediction of a ninth planet.

"Our most recent searches for Planet X have been inspired by a controversial theory about the death of the dinosaurs," says Pitluga. Some researchers see a pattern of mass extinctions occur­ring about every 26 million years. One clue that suggests a Planet X

of a metal called iridium, which is found all over the earth at the times of mass extinctions and is otherwise uncommon on earth. It is, however, often detected in as­teroids and comets.

Following this clue, one group of scientists calculated that a Planet X at twice the distance of Pluto and with a very stretched orbit would periodically pass through the zone of comets that seems to form a halo around the solar system. This disturbance could cause a shower of comets to rain down on the known planets, including earth.

"Searching for Planet X" also reviews the unsuccessful search in 1883 for the predicted planet Vulcan, which astronomers thought must be between the sun and Mer­cury. A predicted planet between Mars and Jupiter was never found either, but the search for it led to the discovery of the asteroid belt in that region of the solar system. The current search for planets

Opryland to scout I l l i nois talent NASHVILLE, Tenn.-Represen­

tatives from Opryland, the Nash­ville theme park with a reputation as a stepping stone to the movies, Broadway and the recording in­dustry, will be looking for talent in the Chicago area on November 16.

The auditions are part of a 30-city nationwide tour that con­cludes in Nashville Dec. 9.

Along the way, Opryland's audi­tion team will see several thou­sand hopeful performers, musi­cians, conductors, stage man­agers and technicians in 25 states. Only about 450 will pass the test.

No appointments are necessary for the open-call auditions.

John Haywood, Opryland's en­tertainment director, says those auditioning have only a short time to impress the scouts.

"When you audition, it is very important that you're relaxed. Do the material you feel you do well, material you are comfortable with. Most importantly, do what you do best and do it first," he said.

According to Haywood, Opry­land is looking for performers proficient in virtually all styles of American music, with versatility being the key factor. Both non­country and country entertainers

are being sought. The audition team that searches

for those performers consists of the park's entertainment director, a show director, a choreographer, a choral/musical director, a pianist/accompanist and a co­ordinator.

Singers should be prepared to perform three numbers that show ability to handle both ballads and upbeat selections. Singers should bring sheet music in the proper key.

Dancers will be asked to pre­pare a routine of no more than one minute. A cassett� player will be available.

Most instrumentalists will be asked to sight read, and woodwind players must be proficient doublers. Conductor/pianists must submit a resume and references, and a piano audition will be required.

Stage managers and technicians should bring resumes. Stage managers will be interviewed at the auditions, while technicians' resumes will be forwarded to Op­ryland's technical director.

"Without bragging a bit, I can say tha we fmd-and hire-some of the best young performers in the nation," Haywood said.

Performers who are cast will begin rehearsals as early as Feb.

In addition, the most recent im­ages of Neptune from Voyager 2 can be seen in "Searching for Planet X." "The recent Voyager flyby of Neptune and the ongoing search for Planet X illustrate one pf the more exciting aspects of as­tronomy - there is always a new 'frontier' to be explored," con­cludes Pitluga.

Counseling offered

UNIVERSITY PARK - There's no need to muddle to yourself. You can tell your troubles to someone who'll listen.

A free counseling program is being offered by Governors State University as part of its training program for advanced graduate counseling students.

Counseling can focus on a w1de range of situations or problems such as parent/child relation­ships, depression, stress, com­munication difficulties, loneliness, lack of self-confidence, ad­justments to major life changes such cis unemployment, a death in the family or job changes, or per­sonal growth and family enrich­ment.

Members of the GSU region are invited to participate in t he pro­gram. Most sessions are scheduled on campus, although some sessions can be arranged at other locations.

The sessions will be tape­recorded to assist the student­counselor's training and may be reviewed by supervising faculty or other counselors in training. All material presented by clients dur­ing counseling sessions is con­fidential and available to no one except the supervising faculty and students in advanced training.

Persons interested in the pro­gram can contact the staff of the GSU Division of Psychology and Counseling at (312) 534-2439 or (312) 534-5000, extension 2394. (The area code changes to 708 after Nov. 1 1.)

UNIVERSITY PARK - "Man­agement opening ... experience necessary." "Cost Accountant with proven experience ... "

Governors State University is providing students the opportuni­ty to receive the valuable exper­ience necessary to stand out in today's job market.

Through the GSU Small Busi­ness Institute, opportunities are created for students to get busi­ness experience while still in school and at the same time local businesses gain an awareness of GSU's curriculum.

According to Reggie Green­wood, director of the GSU Small Business Institute (SBI), the role of the SBI is to get students valu­able business experience while they are still in school and to simultaneously encourage busi­nesses to send their employees to GSU for upper-level coursework.

Greenwood said the SBI creates a relationship between GSU students and the private sector where the students benefit from working with the local companies and the companies benefit from having their employees update their skills.

"There are two particular ways to accomplish this goal," Green­wood said. The SBI is responsible for organizing student intern­ships where students can receive three-hours elective credit by working at area companies in any business related capacity: person­nel, marketing, finance, etc. Or, students can enroll in the ''Manag­ing for Quality" course which re­quires students to do a quality improvement project at a local company. In this capacity the stu­dent actually serves as a consult­ant to the firm.

Although Greenwood has only been involved with the SBI for a year, he has given the SBI's role in the local business community a new meaning. "The particular as­pect of the Small Business In­stitute that is responsible for creating an interaction between companies and students has been around at GSU in various formats, but never has the program been as focused and emphasized like it is now," he said.

Greenwood, whose background is in economic development, is very much interested in quality improvement projects. He be­lieves quality is the competitive issue in the 1990s. ''The future of American business is in its ability to create organizational cultures that produce higher quality pro­ducts," he said.

"I've always been involved in either quality improvement or quality management and I see universities as the key to that. If you look at other places in the country that have dynamic local economies, you often find uni­versities in the middle, with close interactions between businesses," Greenwood added.

Local busmesses appreciate the SBI program. Greenwood asserts, because they realize the long term future of any major business can be improved by hav­ing a strong relationship with a college business curriculum,

"Having some sort of program (like SBI) where you search out and create a productive relation­ship with local companies is an idea business leaders are all fully committed to."

Greenwood said the stage is set for SBI to be a major player with the corporate community in help-

ing GSU continually improve its business school.

Greenwood very much believes in the connection between the uni­versity and the private sector. In his own career he serves as a con­sultant for two local companies along with his GSU responsi­bilities.

"I think there is a lot to be learned from being connected with a university and the private sector. The kind of thing I'm tell­ing students to do, I'm doing myself."

The students that have par­ticipated in the SBI program so far have had very positive exper­iences, Greenwood said. How­ever, most of these students participate in SBI programs their last trimester and are not avail­able to share their experiences with other students. Greenwood says the key is "to get students aware of the SBI internship pro­gram as they first create their educational curriculum."

To help increase student aware­ness of the SBI program, the College of Business and Public Administration has designated Nov. 20 "Internship Day," giving companies and students interest­ed in SBI internships for the Win­ter trimester an opportunity to meet informally on campus.

Page 8 CIA (Continued from page 1)

He also served the CIA when he arranged $200,000 in payments to the Cuban burglars jailed during the Watergate break-in. In 1981, he was invited to the Reagan in­auguration because of campaign contributions he channeled into the Reagan victory for druglords. In a June 1987 interview, he revealed that he had laundered a $ 10 million dollar contribution to the Contras from the Columbian drug cartel at the behest of a CIA veteran and key figure in the White House contra network.

Cockburn then continues to document government involve­ment in drug flights, and ship­ments that were brought in on shrimp boats. Two Miami based firms are singled out as CIA fronts that imported more than a ton of cocaine every week.

In chapter 10 she brings out in­formation supplied by Colum­bian-American George Morales, and Octaviano Cesar his CIA con­tact. Morales would ferry guns out of Florida for the Contras, and return with plane loads of drugs to pay for the weapons. One of Morales pilots, Gary Betzner told CBS of two loads of cocaine he flew back to the Umted States from the Costa Rica ranch of John Hull, an American associated with the CIA by many investigators. These two loads totalled nearly one thousand kilograms.

Betzner explained the break down of proceeds from the cocaine trips in this way. "Say five

hundred kilos was worth ... ten million ... the Columbian connec­tion ... two point-five million ... my part and Morales was probably another ... million and a half ... they probably came out clearing four million off that load."

Cockburn then goes into the ac­tivities of another drug pilot who flew a load of marijuana in to Homestead Air Force Base with only a prearranged transponder burst. Cockburn then concludes this segment by pointing out that the Boston Globe has quoted U.S. Customs officials as acknowledg­ing that special arrangements ex­isted with the CIA for special clearance of between 50 and 100 uninspected flights between 1985 and 1987.

The propensity of the CIA to in­dulge in drug traffic has been demonstrated in the "Golden Triangle" of Indo-China during the Vietnam conflict. Other jour­nalists have revealed CIA involve­ment in the oriental drug trade during that era. It is a shameful realization that the federal gov­ernment of the United States would will ingly inflict a major and destructive drug epidemic on the citizens of this nation while pre­tending to conduct a ··war on Drugs."
