Page 7 Library Conducts NIGHT 1988 AWARDS For the last two years the library has been conducting inter-library surveys. The library has passed out student and faculty questionaires relating to the library and its services. The surveys consisted of 25-30 faculty, approximately 50 percent, and 100-104 students, approximately one twentieth of the total student body. The surveys tevealed that a high percent of the Students have attended a library orientation, and that several faculty members instruct students on library skills in their classroom. Questions reguarding the library's general book collection and reference book collection were categorized as "good", with percentages ranging from 32 1/2 percent of the faculty in 1987 to 72 percent of the students in 1988. All the figures indicated that the library adequately supports the needs of the faculty and student body. "you consider the use of library materials", was one of the questions directed at students which averaged a 73 percent in 1987, ranking “very important", and for 1988 also ranking “very important" with a 77 percent. The library's work-study staff and librarians were rated as always being helpful to the students. They were also evaluated as cone excellent coi Law Enforcement Club Changes in Journalism There is a change occuring in the journalism department. James Miesen, instructor and advisor to the Lumberjack, will be leaving the program. Miesen accredits his decision to step out of journalism to his accomplishing the three main objectives he set when he re-entered the department. The first objective was to make the existing journalism class from a two-credit hour class that was not transferable to a three-hour transferable class. The second accomplishment was to incorporate computers into the newspaper production. Last of all, to move the two-person staffed paper to a larger staff of 15 or more people. "Since all has been accomplished, I can move along,” Miesen explained. Miesen will still be teaching at ACC, but will only teach freshman English and American literature. With his major interest being in freshman English writing, Miesen said that the journalism time infringes on the time needed for students in English. "I do not think anyone who has not played a role in publishing a community college newspaper really ees the unique, — Miesen believes that there is a number of people in the community who are qualified to teach journalism and be advisor to the Lumberjack. "T would like to see second- year journalism as an independent study program, so that a student who is majoring in journalism, and being on the Lumberjack, would have a two-year plan to study." Miesen also commented that the staff and editors had been a real pleasure to work with and it is a comfort that "I leave this position at a point which our college newspaper is quite firmly established." Some members of the Lumberjack had this to say about Mr. Miesen’'s leaving. “I think he is a wonderful teacher, and I have learned more from him then any other instructor. He will be greatly missed in this department," commented Tracey Buchner. The editors' response to having Mr. Miesen as their advisor he “faculty. The library hours were approved at approximately 50 percent in 1987 and approximately 65 percent in 1988 These figures show an increase in the approval of the library's hours which was probably contributed by the extension of the library hours during 1988. These surveys reveal that all are satified with the performance of the library. Dinner At Awards Night HIGH demands placed ed upon a community college newspaper staff.” Proven Job Placement Looking for a job? The Concrete Technology program has proven to be very successful in job placement, and the future looks quite good. Even through recent bad times and recessions that have plagued the economic growth of almost every aspect of our economy, the success rate of job placement in concrete out of our college has always been on the up side. James Donajkowski, Director of Concrete Technology at ACC, stated that "Most employment ities are not in Northeast PAYING Immediate Placement in Chicago Land Area JOBS Available Now !!!! Days off Permanent & Summer Reasonable Working Hours Send for your Application today NO AGENCY FEE call Niki or aS Employment Agency collect at 713 Main Street Maia International (312) 491-6243 Evanston, IL 60202 Michigan." But, if the students are willing to relocate, "They find it worth their while.” Pay starts from about $19 thousand to $26 thousand a year. This, of course, depends on several different factors, such as location and local econom: Donajkowski continued, say- ing that "There are about two to three jobs per student available," which might seem a little suprising considering jobs available on the local level. So, if a good job interests you in a program that has already proven itself, maybe an Associate Degree in Applied Science of Concrete Technology could change your life... definitely for the better. that ie -would-always sere! behind us no matter...how many people were in the snack bar line, court line, etc. Thanx mizder meizon, fer teeching us evrythin' we now abowt eddittin’."
