Western Carolinian February 29,1996 News. Criminal Justice Majors are Olympic Bound by LeAnn Gibson Associate Editor WCU Criminal Justice majors, minors, and four faculty members are going to the gold in July of 1996 as they cruise south of Cullowhee to assist with security at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, GA. Over 120 criminal justice majors and minors participated in a rigorous pre- screening selection process within the Criminal Justice department to be selected as one of a hundred members of the campus community at Western to participate as Olympic security personnel. The students' participation in the. event is anticipated to provide significant interaction with athletes and officials from all over the world. Mandy Pence, a sophomore at Western, says of the upcoming experience, "It's the chance of a lifetime. I'm really excited...this will be a great educational experience for all of us." Upon arrival in Atlanta, the students will undergo yet another screening selection process by means of a criminal-background check and a drug- screening test. Participants will then undergo a 16-hour training program set up by Borg-Warner Security Corporation, which will offer training specifically oriented to each student's assignments and venues. Selected students will complete a five-day, 60-hour work week alongside other major security officials during the Olympic Games. Borg-Warner offered the students a payment option consisting of either a paid hourly wage or free housing and meals during their stay. WCU students chose the second option, which also includes free tickets to Olympic events that do not conflict with their schedules. Students will also receive a commemorative Olympic pen set and will be able to retain their security uniforms from the event. WCU Criminal Justice Professor Duane Davis was contacted by Borg- Warner Security Corporation to help in recruiting students to work security in and around the 1996 Olympic Games.When interviewing the students, WCU faculty took into consideration the forthcoming background checks and drug screening so as to provide Borgwarner with the most prepared students available. "The faculty was extremely impressed with the sophistication of the students in the pre-screening interviews," said Davis. "They provided well-thought out responses, and recognized the possible benefits and detriments to WCU from their participation in this event." Many students exemplified well-qualified skills and extraordinary leadership potential arising from past military experiences and fraternal organizations. Results of the pre- screening interviews demonstrated a qualified cross-section of the WCU community, with a significant number of women, minority groups, and majors chosen to participate in the event. Upon receiving the results of the pre-screening interviews, Borg- Warner contacted Davis with a commendation on the Criminal Justice department's procedures in the pre- screening of its applicants. "We were the first university to provide all of our materials, and we did such a good job, Borg-Warner was interested in our process becoming the model for others to follow in finding this security personnel." Faculty members within the Criminal Justice department will provide a course on private security in the first part of WCU's second summer-school session for chosen applicants. WCU will offer the students internship credit for their participation in the games, and the experience will provide an excellent resume credential. "This experience has generated an evident sense of enthusiasm within our department," says Davis. "It has been like a 'shot in the arm' to the morale of our program. The faculty has enjoyed getting the project together, and the students are enjoying the sense of collegiality through this experience. It is rare we get to work together on projects with such a large number of majors contrasted against a small number of faculty. This has been a pleasant experience for all involved." Scientist Tells WCU About Geosciences by Jessica Devaney Staff Reporter On March 6-8, Eva Zaleski, a research scientist from the Geological Survey of Canada, will visit WCU for Women's History Month and Celebrating Western. On Wednesday, March 6, at 7 p.m., Zaleski will give a lecture on "Volcanoes, Hot Springs and Mineral Deposits on the Seafloor—Ancient and Modern." She will also meet with geology classes on Thursday, March 7 at 8 a.m. and at 4 p.m., and on Friday, March 8 at 8 a.m. There will also be an informal reception for Zaleski on Friday, March 8, at 5 p.m.. in the University Club House. Zaleski's lectures will explain how mineral deposits form. Some of these mineral deposits are abundant in the WCU area and hopefully this information will stimulate research in mineral geology, since it is a relatively small program. Professor of Geology, Virginia Peterson, hopes that Zaleski will "expand students' horizons on what is available in the department of geosciences and anthropology." Also, since geosciences is a male- dominated profession, Peterson hopes Zaleski will encourage more female students: "It is important to see women in the field." Eva Zaleski's lectures are sponsored by the Visiting Scholar Program and are free of charge. For more information, contact the department of geosciences and anthropology at 227-7268. SGA Extends Easter Break and Kills Stray Cats by James Gray Staff Reporter This week, The SGA killed Stray Cats, the proposed student escoet service. Last week, the resolution was postponed. This weeks meeting began with Gene McAbee, Director of Public Safety, addressing the Stray Cats Security Service issue. McAbee presented statistics that supported the idea of an escort service and offered to help train Stray Cats employees. The SGA then voted the resolution down. With old business out of the way, the first new resolution was presented ' Resolution 1712, sponsored by Rhonda Cole, asked that the Monday after Easter be recognized as an official holiday for students, faculty and staff. "Some people have long church activities [on Easter]," Cole said. "And people have to say 'I can't go because I have to go back to school.' Or Jessica [Laverty] has to go back to Massachusetts, and I have friends that have to go back to Florida and if they want to celebrate that day, they can't, because they have to drive back to school.." "What sort of implications will this have to the entire school calendar?' asked one Senator. "And who will have to approve it?" "The Board of Trustees," answered Cole. "How do the rest of the state schools deal with this?," asked another Senator. "A lot of the schools coordinate their spring break with the Easter Holiday," responded Jessica Laverty. Another senator asked if it would not be easier to move spring break Laverty said it had taken years to establis the current time for spring break and added it would be easier to change one day than a whole week. Then someone asked when this change could take effect. Cole told him that the schedules are made through nex year (spring semester 1997) and the change would not happen until 199° a the earliest. Nevertheless, the senate approved S.R. 1712. .fl Jessica Laverty proposed resolu 1713, the appointment of five <"esidenCeetti hall senators: Amy Cauthen, Kim Ben" Jonathan Jorstad, Paul Locklear, and Jenny Trivette; and five commuter senators: Jason Podgorski, Heather Terrell, Amy Pope, Phillip Caldwell an Rob Getty. . Laverty and Cole said that the si of the SGA has decreased over this semester and that anybody interested i participating should be allowed. The Senate agreed and approved all the appointments with an affirmative vote-
