Editorial Welcome to the IR® a I W®irM, because you've come a long way Blake Frizzell Editor-in-Chief Two magazine features I read recently were quite disturbing, so I decided to share them with you. The first is from Harper's, the second from SELF magazine, which is primarily for women. "Say Hello to the Class of 1998," featured in Harper's magazine, is a reality check for the truth behind admission to college. "50 ways to FLIRT" is a shameful attempt at a Cosmo-girl viewpoint from a decent magazine. The first tells us what living in the "real world" is like, and the second is an example of the ridiculous expectations of the media upon women. SAY HELLO TO THE CLASS OF 1998: "From a guide sent by Columbia University alumni associations to alumni ivho interview applicants to Columbia as part of the admissions process. The guide asks the interviewer to record his or her impressions of the applicant and provides examples from past alumni interview reports as a model. Each satnple report is followed by a critique from the Columbia admissions office. Most freshman entering Columbia have a combined SAT score of between 1250 and 1450; the student described below scored 950. He was admitted to the university." "Tom's interests and accomplishments are in sports, and he exhibited little intellectual curiosity or ambition during the interview. He is not much of a reader and is generally not very verbal. While he is reasonably articulate once you get him started on something in which he is interested (like football), he is not much of a conversationalist. He is very pleasant and polite, and I'd like to give him a better evaluation. However, he seems to have little achievement in his life off the football field. He really didn't present himself very well, and I have real questions about whether he would survive academically or "Caring/' Cont'd from Page 13 persistent." He repeated that last word twice. The other conversation was with another professor who was sharing his excitement about a recent major positive change in a (not identified, of course) very bright student who had been barely functioning. When he had asked her bluntly several weeks earlier if she was depressed and she said probably, he immediately helped her call the Counseling Center and make an appointment. His action involving noticing, caring, and communicating initiated the turnaround. Doesn't it often seem just too simple, too elementary to need mentioning? Caring and showing it may be basic, but they also can be life changing. And thanks for reminding us, Brian. Alice Weldon Perry Instructor, Spanish WC Question of the Week: Wlh&tt telhinag©© wnW y©.tja lilk® IF©! dlto® EKSW Clhsm(e(ellll®3r ft® mulk© sift W.CUJ? Send responses to PO Box 66, or through campus mail bj? be happy at Columbia. He said he is interested in business (accounting, perhaps), but I don't think he really knows. I almost checked 'not recommended,' but if he's a real good football player and has done well scholastically and on the Boards, he may be a soft- spoken hard worker who's never had an interview before, and worth a chance." "Admissions Office Critique: The write-up brings the boy to life for me. I get a clear impression of what a conversation with him would be like. The writer describes a lack of personal depth, which might be missed in a reading of the application alone. The alumnus is familiar with the process of athletic recruiting, and his appraisal is on the mark." "Decision: Admitted." In a world that puts sports over academics, this is only a sad reminder. I can only wonder about the poor soul who was rejected from Columbia with a SAT score of 1450 in order for the previous boy to play football. For some strange reason, I am forced to compare the athletic computer facilities at WCU to the English department's. "I'm sorry," one coach told me when asked about this matter. "But we make the money, so it is only right that we have the equipment." No, I'm sorry. I thought we all came here to learn. 50 ways to FLIRT: Monica Moore, Ph.D., a psychologist at Webster University in St. Louis, has been studying flirting for more than 15 years. According to the article in SELF, Moore's instructions are "a mating ritual that is guaranteed to get him out of his chair and over to your table. Maybe even onto the dance floor." Please. I am providing Moore's tips to show the stupidity within. I hope no one reading this takes them seriously: 1. Start with a Type I glance. It's a generalized introduction to your environment. You simply "scope out" the room until you see someone you like. 2. Now that you've found him, focus on him with a bout of Type II or "short, darting" glances in his general direction. Gradually work some smiles in. 3. If you're talking with a friend, stay animated. Primp a little. Touch your clothes even if they don't need adjusting. Toss your Read, run your fingers through your hair and do some hair flips. 4. If he still doesn't approach, "parade" past him on the way to the restroom or jukebox. On your way back to your chair, throw him a glance. 5. Back at your seat, give him more direct stares. If there's music, move your body to the beat. If that doesn't get him, he's probably married; try another guy- I'm just sorry that Monica has wasted so much of her time.
