Roose flies the coop BY Scarr R EED STAFI' WRITER Student Senate Adviser and Financial Aid Technician Rob Roose is leaving ACC after three-and-a-half years, for the position of financial aid officer at Northern Michigan Univer- sity. He is leaving "because of advancement, better pay and bet- ter opportunities. " While at ACC, Roose was also an assistant coach of the men's basketball team for two years and coach of the cross- country team for three. He received his degree in business administration from Michigan Technological Univer- sity in Houghton. Roose was born in Marquette and raised in Chassell, approximately ninety miles away, so he will be completely at home in his new surround- ings. On leaving, Roose says, "I've enjoyed my time here at ACC, the people I've worked for and with; it's a career move. It'll be hard to leave, but it's one of those things where you have to move up and on." From here, Roose will be moving to Marquette, where he will join a staff of four profes- sional and five clerical workers.

It's FREE and it doesn't even hurt. And, Tetzlaff continued, "If a controversial issue arises, both sides would need to be rep- resented." Plans are in the works for s1age two and three on channel seven. Stage two will involve air- ing prepared tapes of educational interest and generating live pro- ductions. At press time, broadcasts from the classroom had been at- tempted but sound difficulties prevented their airing. Correc- tions are in the works and broadcast could be a week or several months away, according to Tetzlaff. Stage three will develop, "if a full time telecommunica- tions coordinator is hired,• said Tetzlaff. It would involve "picking off' the satellite and broadcast- ing from the Mind Extension University programs. Tetzlaff emphasized that the channel will not limit itself to these programs, however, since the college will "always want the accessibility of the bulletin board, as well as taped and live productions.
