"pena CAMPUS UPDATE February 15,.1984 Page 3 by Beatrice Kunath There is a particular instructor at ACC who is enthusiastic and re- sponds quickly to questions con- cerning his students and biclogy. Those students who do not have | classes in Ttte NRC may never have the opportunity to meet Mr. Russ Garlitz who has taught here for 19 years. Garlitz, who calls himself a per- petual student received his Bach- elor Degree at Michigan State, Masters Degree at NMU, and two years toward his Doctorate at Mich- igan State, U of M and Central Michigan. He worked summers for the U.S. Forest Service and Nation- al Park Service. Garlitz is married and lives in Al- and has. two daughters, Shelley, 17, and Shawna, 13. Reflecting on his childhood, he remembers living in the Royal Oak area with his parents and two bro- thers. The area at that time con- sisted of fields and farms, making jt-a haven for a boy who loved bugs. Garlitz thoughtfully added, “I've been a collector from early childhood.” Garlitz commented: that students should get all the education they "educated today to get a good job. When asked his impression of the students of today, he commented that the students are more serious about their education because of the job situation. He mentioned that the students are more cour: teous and serious than they were in the 70's. ‘ Commenting on his teaching techniques, Garlitz replied, “| use much more sight in learning than | did when [ first began; that way | can cover more material. | find that just lecturing is very boring for my “students as well as myself.’ There- Faculty Feature fore he uses visual aids, including his own collection of slides. He and his wife, Debbie, sometimes spend an hour on one slide. During the samer they may take 500 to ~ 1,000 slides. He continues to add new material to his classes. When asked his opinion concern- ing student/teacher relationship he d, “I ge i i out of seeing a student do poorly.” Something. Garlitz is concerned with is “not turning kids off.” He would stick with the long process of education that is needed today. Garlitz appreciates students who ‘are enthusiastic and who ask stim- ulating questions. He is impressed When students ‘are motivated. or have a desire to get a good educa- tion. In a. thoughtful way he added, ‘I like to watch people grow and mature and get where they want to go and be happy there.” Concerning his philosophy of teaching, Garlitz said, “indifferent teaching is easy and nothing is hard- _er than good teaching.” Enrollment Correction The Campus Update incorrectly gave some figures associated with student enrollment in the Feb. 1, 1984 edition, As reported in the February 1 edition, the enrollment was not down 9.6%. According to Michael Hood, Title 111 Director, student enrollment was up 1.35% from 2006 to 2033. The total number of credit hours was down .6% from 19303 to 19186. The male population on campus gained 5.15% from 990 to 1041, and the female population » Full-time dropped by 2.36% from 1016 to 992. There was a major difference in part-time and full-time students. students were down 4.46% from 895 to 855, in. compar- ison to a 6.03% increase in part- time students from 1111 to 1178. _ Generally spring semester counts decline significantly from fall. This is not the case this spring which, in trend analysis, indicates a true growth when compared to other years Student Parking Becoming by Julianne Michaels Student parking in the main par- king area has been causing trouble- some, illegal, and potentially haz- ardous conditions apparently due to the snow-covered, painted lines indicating permitted parking spots. Dean of Students, John McCor- mack, thinks ‘students should be aware of the problems arising in the parking areas, For example, cars have been triple parked, thereby virtually trapping earlier arrivals. McCormack feels that no students, after a long day of classes, are pleased to find their departure pre- vented by a seeming blockade of cars. Equally inconvenient are the cars parked in the access drive- ways running parallel with John- son Street located in the main park- ing: lot. Under these conditions, a A Problem student may come dangerously close to sideswiping the offending car while trying to reach an exit or entrance. _ Another restricted area that has been used for parking is the drive leading to Besser Tech from the main parking area. Because of the snow, students cannot see the yel- low painted curbs; however, McCormack stresses, the curve shaped drive must remain free of parked vehicles to allow easy access by fire trucks in the event of a fire. The above violations are not only. inconvenient and possibly danger- ous, they are illegal on the ACC campus. Students parking in restric- ted areas can expect to be ticketed. McCormack added that ticket fines, some 3,500 annually,, are deposited in a fund for blacktopping the park- — ing areas.

Movie Review by Julie BED _ Peter Markle's “Hot Dog... The Movie’. may be one of the most tasteless films currently offered for the public's viewing. The plot consists of an endless game of musical beds played by drunken characters who ski in a — free style cone ey a Squaw — Valley, California. Naturally, with its repugnan ie bedroom scenes, “Hot Dog’ depicts - women as insatiable strumpets. Z Although rated R, “HotDog .
