Serving USC since 1908 http://www.spacejam.com Citadel cadets try short cuts tn trr\i i IW tlWLiLyi^ COLLEGE PRESS EXCHANGE CHARLESTON, S.C.-Three female Citadel cadets decided their short regulation hairdos weren't short enough to blend in with the first-year male cadets, whose shaved heads give them the nickname "knobs." So they took matters?and a pair of scissors?into their own hands. The female cadets, among the first four in the military college's first-ever co-ed class, emerged from their barracks Nov. 7 with new hairdos resembling a man's flattop. But the new look did not go over well with Citadel administrators, who expect students to adhere to uniforms, codes of dress and appearance. "Obviously, you can't have a cadet standing in front of the mirror, designing [her] own haircut," said Judith Fluck, deputy director of public affairs at the Citadel. w The cadets?Petra Lovetinska, Jeanie Mentavlos and Kim Messer?will likely be confined to campus or given demerits The Carolina-Clemson Blood Battle will kick off Nov. 18 at 12 p.m. in the w; Russell House Ballroom. The bkxxl drive in will continue through Nov. 21. The avoid the long wait to donate tin blood, students and faculty may sign up Re for donation times. Sign-up sheets are Re located in the Russell House Campus Activity Center, Student Government blc Office and Residence Hall Area offices, tw ft - as punishment for breaking the rules. The fourth female cadet, Nancy Mace, did not participate in the make-over because she is a Citadel band member and wears a different uniform, Fluck said. Apparently, the women chose the extreme haircuts as a way to show they are as committed as the male cadets. This is the first year of coeducation for the Citadel. The state-supported college accepted women into its corps after the Supreme Court ruled in June that the all-male policy at Virginia Military Institute was unconstitutional. Administrators spent a great deal of time on the "painstaking" task of choosing a suitable haircut for women, which was to be short, but not as short as the men's, Fluck said. The Citadel's regulation cut for women is off the shoulders, off the collar and has ears showing. The three cadets were sent back to the Citadel barber, who "tried to repair the damage," Fluck said. VMI announced in September that its first female cadets next year will sport shaved heads like the men. That has angered women's advocates and civilrights groups, who contend shaving a woman's head is a form of humiliation. Although the Citadel women have made up their own minds concerning their hairstyle, that doesn't mean the college is going to change its rules. "That would be difficult to presume," Fluck said.

Each Residence Hall is going to make some sort of mascot out of recyclable material. The Residence Hall Association is sponsoring this event, with the help of Resource Conservation Programs, to make students aware of recycling on campus. Ai Liquor indu: MARTHA HOTOP News Editor The Distilled Spirits Counsel o the United States voted last Thursda; to lift its voluntary ban on broadcas advertising. In deciding to lift the ban, th< counsel said it wanted the freedon to advertise and promote its product in the same manner as the beer ant wine industry. Hie industry's decisiot will repeal a self-imposed ban, whicl was established in 1936 for radii and 1948 for television. Prior to the industry's decisioi to repeal the ban, one company House of Seagram, had already broken the ban. Earlier this year House of Seagram released ar advertising campaign for two of it) whiskeys, Chivas Regal and Crowr Royal Canadian.

Each of the spots is expected to carry the familiar ^ tagline, "You either have it or you 1 don't." Since the industry's decision, 3 local and national broadcast stations 1 have confronted the issue of whether J or not they will allow hard liquor companies to advertise with them. According to an associated press 1 article, NBC, ABC and CBS each 3 said they don't intend to change their current policies of not accepting liquor 1 advertisements. In 1982, each of the major stations ^ wrote their own policies concerning ' the criteria for accepting advertising. 3 Most of the stations decided not to 5 accept advertisements for hard liquor. However, according to USC ' professor Jon Wardrip, in the past couple of years some of the independent stations have agreed to run hard liquor ads. 3 T 11 117 A nn TVMr rrr 1 Jl i ijocauy, waun r ua o t saia mat 1 it doesn't expect to start accepting ' hard liquor advertisements at this time.

He said the station would need to look at the long term impact on young people and the world before agreeing to run hard liquor advertisement. Experts and people working in the advertising industry say there are several broad issues that will surface as a result of the industry's decision lift the ban. One of the issues is expected to be the influence that running hard liquor advertisements on television and radio will have on young children. Wardrip expects there to be a lot of consumer outrage initially. He said the outrage will come from consumer activist groups. The outrage is expected to be because of the fact there hasn't been hard liquor advertising in people's living rooms for several years. However, Wardrip said he's "amused" that people are so upset at the prospect of hard liquor ads on television, when many of today's programs deal with issues that are just as controversial, if not more so.

"Even crash courses in how to conduct a job search can't make up for four or five years of student procrastination on career issues,"is the conclusion of a report by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. "Students who wait until " the final buzzer is about to sound have missed opportunities to take advantage of internships and cooperative education experiences."

"If you started examining careers while an undergraduate, you.already have the advantage of an early start and possibly a job," said Arminta G. Hawkins, director of cooperative education and career services at Drexel University in Philadelphia. "We advise our juniors to compile names of companies, positions and contacts, and then, when their senior year rolls around, they're ready to roll." Drexel has some 5,000 students and almost all of them are in a cooperative education program. "We have a five-year cooperative ed program, and it pays off in jobs," Hawkins said. "By the time our students graduate, they have real work experience to put on their resumes. Usually, about 30 percent of them are hired by their former co-op employers. And, of last June's graduating class of 1,000, all have jobs." Thafs why Hawkins advises students to "start early, think about the direction you want to go, your plan.

The predetermined outcome of this project is to inform the students of what the blue bins are for, and hopefully make recycling a part of their everyday routine.

Thomas H.Triesenberg, 22, began his job search as a freshman in mechanical engineering at Michigan State University by serving an internship at a manufacturing firm. He has served two more internships, has a 3.88 grade point average in his specialty, will graduate in May'and started setting up job interviews in September. "I'm looking at the automotive industry and consulting, with a salary range of $35,000 to $40,000 a year," said Triesenberg, who is working closely with his school's career services center. "I'm interested in product and development, newer technology and in being on top of the field. I want to stay in Michigan."
