A recent report from the Departments of Transporta- tion and Haith and Human Services show that drunk driving fatalities have gone down in .... a11 categories; t The report also states that rais- ing the drinking age has not acted as a serious ~eter,:ent to drinking among;, Juveniles and young adults.

"Stu- dents support tough. drunk driving laws, designated. driver programs and In- creased education and alcohol awareness programs, but we also support the right to drink for adults.

Professors rubbing students the wrong way For the two issues previous to this, the Counselor's Oor- ner has dealt with the topic of student behaviors that are inappropriate for the college setting and are therefore counterproductive. There Is a fIIpslde to this topic: the proverbial "other side of the coin," If you will. It can only be a small number of students that has never experienced a semester during which one professor or another (or all of them) did one thing or another (or everything) that somehow had the effect of "rubbing you the wrong way. H Professors are, for the most part, human; they make mistakes and have character flaws as everyone does. Be that as It may. many professors d1splay actions a:n d attitudes that are, to varying degrees, less than eonduarve to the learning environment. The Ranger \1&8, for the past couple weeks, solicited re- apon.ses from you In regards to professor behaviors that, much as the inappropriate 'student activities of the CowI.Ielor's Comer, are unfit for the college setting. The toUowlng are the most common responses. • I.,ecturlng without allowing time for questions. Not only does this prevent tmportant quesllona from being an- swered, It aI80 handicaps the learnlng experience for the students. • Assuming what you know and don't know. Professors are not mind readers. • Talking down to students. I'm the professor, you're the student; I'm the teacher, you are the learner. There w1l1be no line crossing. • Uncourteous behavior to students. • Late to class or not showing up at all. This Is especial- ly lnconvenlent for students who have to drive a great dis- tance to Parkslde. • Exceeding the set class time. For one thing, this is callously unfair to students who may have another class or a job to go to immediately after class. • Not adhering to the syllabus. • Not adhering to office hours. If a professor designates a time when they will be available for students, is it not their responsibility to maintain this schedule? One obstacle to effectively communicating class mate- rial to students may be that most professors are not re- quired to take courses in teaching methods and practi- cum. This Is somewhat of a irony seeing as education majors are required to take this type of coursework. What this means is that most professors learn how to teach on the job. The process of higher education is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. On the other hand, each semester is culminated with most students knowing more than they did the semester before. It Is true that students and professors are on opposite ends of the learning spectrum (students are receivers, professors are broadcasters), but is this any reason at all for both types of participants in the arena of education not to attempt to better facilitate the learning process? These articles are not run to make a mockery of the higher education experience; Instead. the purpose Is to facilitate a dlalogue on the subject of classroom communication. People, both student and instructor, often do not see their shortcomings. The Ranger hopes that by pub1lshlng class- room hindrances to learning (from both sides of the podi- um) some of these problems can be resolved.

If you are the student who purchases their books the day before class, because of pro-: crastination or for reasons beyond your control, you know what new book prices· can amount to. The depress- ing aspect of the unavoidable investment is that as soon as two weeks pass, you can count on your books depreci- ating at least 50 percent or more. Don't worry about keeping them free of marks or outlining, because it won't make any difference when it's time to return them. by Curt Sbircel There is a virus infecting every student at Parkside. It could be best described as a cold virus, because it is una- voidable and makes it pres- ence felt twice every semes- ter. The effects of this virus can be treacherous, a child going to sleep hungry, a coid house, candles as the only means of light. What virus could' be so devistating? If there is a name, it would be _FolletBookstore. The ridiculous manipUlation of the students by the FolIet Bookstore is just another ex- ample of how a company monopoloizes a market that is depended on every semester by thousands of people. The students are constantly sub- ject to enormous prices for new or used books, the return rates for used books are even more ridiculous, and, to gaff a netted fish, they lure you to sell your books back to them with a contest as phony as isn't a rip-off? If you are one of the few. the proud, the used book buyers, the insult is just as great. Although you may save a few dollars, what is It that you are actually purchasing? A book cluttered with notes and outlining that. unless dis- continued, will surely be. passed along for years to come. Each year, with the possibility of the book being discontinued, the . return decreases the maximum use of the book.
