March 7, 1990 The Broncos' Voice Page 5 Announcements Forward March! By AAS 1st Lt. Lasheeco Fellina Best Public AfTairs Officer Attention! Arnold Air Society would like to welcome returning and new Air Force ROTC cadets. Most of you are probably saying, "What is Arnold Air Society?" Arnold Air Society is the "elite" group of Air Force ROTC cadets who are serious about becoming Air Force officers. AAS's main purpose is to conduct social activities to enhance and benefit our campus and local community. We accomplish this goal through the use of a variety of fund raising activities. AAS strives to instill an attitude of unselfish dedication and responsibil ity in all of its members. Last semester AA? did several activities within the community. For instance, we gave food and clothing to needy families over the holidays; also we conducted Rent-A-Cadet, where we did yard work and moved furniture for donations. What do you have to do to become a member? First, you have to be a member of Air Force ROTC. Second, you have to pledge to become a member. The pledge peri od is from 19 Feb. 90 to 13 April 90. Some of the items pledgees will be required to do are run the 1.5 mile in the allotted time and pass a writ ten test on the pledge manual. The pledgees will also have to type a let ter on who is Robert H. Lawrence and conduct several fund raising activities to help underprivileged children. At the end of the pledge period Pianist Patricia Goodson: From Pac-Man To Prokofiev Pianist Patricia Goodson, who performed at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 1, 1990 in Seabrook Auditor ium, Fayetteville State University, has a career that, in addition to recitals and chamber music concerts, has included such diverse activities as writing music and sound effects for video games and playing for radio commercials. A graduate of Duke University and the Peabody Conservatory, Ms. Goodson performed solo piano recitals in several North Carolina cities in late February and early March as part of her preparation for international piano competitions. Currently, Ms. Goodson performs and teaches piano in the Boston area. She serves as a music tutor at Harvard University, where she also coaches chamber music. A member of Musicians from Wall Street, a chamber music consortium based in Concord, NH, she also performs reg ularly with the Harvard Group for New Music, for whom she has given many premiere performances of new works. Her playing has been fea tured on public radio broadcasts. Not long ago, however, Ms. Goodson spent her days overseeing music and sound effects for video games at a company which designed Atari products. Her work appears in approximately 35 games cartridges, the best known of which are Jr. Pac- Man and Ms. Pac-Man. She credits Ms. Pac-Man with paying for the Steinway piano. Though she has left the world of video games, unusual jobs still come her way. A recent one was playing music ^art of a Chopin etude) for a radio commercial for tombstones. Another was playing the soundtrack for the feature film "An American Summer," due for release later this year. Ms. Goodson recently appeared with Nobel Prize-winning poet Joseph Brodsky in an evening at Harvard dramatizing the life of poet Anna Akhmatova. While Mr. Brodsky spoke of Akhmatova’s life, Ms. Goodson performed works by Scriabin, Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev. Upon returning to Boston, she will perform a number of cham ber and solo recitals. The March 1, 1990 program in cluded selections from Prokofiev's Visions Fugitives, several short pieces by Rachmaninoff and Scriabin, Bach's French Suite in G major, Mozart’s Sonata in F, K. 332, and Mendelssohn's Variations Serieuses. Affordable Education in America: The Disappearing Dream? (NSNS) During the 1980's, the cost of getting a college degree sky rocketed while funding for higher education barely rose, according to recent studies. With the burden of education funding falling increasing ly on students’ shoulders, many are finding it more and more difficult to finance college, and many others are being priced out of an education entirely, according to student lead ers. Nationally, the average tuition at public colleges and universities has increased 23.2 percent above the inflation rate over the last 11 years, according to a report from a Washington, D.C. research firm. The same report shows that state spend ing for education has risen only 1.3 percent above inflation over the same period. At the nation's private schools, tuition increased more than 35 per cent above the rate of inflation between 1978 and 1989, according to statistics compiled from College Board data. "The bottom line is that many states are backing off from their commitment to making education freely available," says Jonathan Darnell of the Student Empower ment Training Project (SET), a national resource group for student government associations. "The evi dence is clear. Students now bear 24 percent of the cost of their educa tion, as opposed to only 21 percent ten years ago. Meanwhile, the share of state tax revenue supporting high er education has declined over the same period." Many public colleges and univer sities that once provided quality edu cation for little or nothing are now pricing low-income and non-tradi- tional students out of the higher edu cation market. "It's impossible to quantify how many people are being shut out of higher education," says United States Student Association President Julianne Marley. "To tell people that their state school is going to cost them $3,000 a year is so intimidating that many don't even apply. We know it's keeping people out," The cuts have been particularly hard on those who must work full time or raise a family while in school. "It’s been devastating for non-traditional students," says Marley. "Child care is not counted as an expense when financial aid is cal culate. The impact this has on sin gle parents is unbelievable. It says, 'No, we’re not going to give you a chance to improve your life or your children's lives.’’’ Classified Advertisements Spring Break Jamaica $449 Complete!

South Carolina Students Defeat Opposite-Sex Visitation Policy By Rebecca Matheny COLUMBIA, SC (NSNS) Thanks to a student lobbying cam paign, when residents of two University of South Carolina dormi tories return from the winter vaca tion, they will be able to entertain guests of the opposite sex in their rooms again. By persuading the school to change a policy that prohibited such visitation in two first-year dorms, students defeated the most restrictive element of a plan to phase out all overnight guests in USC campus housing by 1992. Many students consider this policy an infringement of their rights. The new policy was developed largely as a result of efforts by USC trustee and South Carolina state Representative Mike Fair. Fair, who describes himself as a fundamental ist Christian, has advocated more restrictive guest policies for several years (see NSNS Vol. 4, No. 1). In an August article in the New York Times, Fair predicted that the new policies would become popular. However, only 36 of the 2,900 incoming first-year students opted for the dormitories with the restric tive policies. University student affairs staff, who attributed the lack of response to poor pubUcity, then assigned 465 other students to the dorms. Of those, 450 soon signed petitions opposing the policy. Another 4,000 students signed a petition circulated campus-wide. "The (protest) was definitely a student initiative," says Mary Louise Ramsdale, presi(fcnt of the USC stu dent government. "The students were very dissatisfied with the dorm situation .... We wwked very hard to get the administration to change the policy.” The petitions and lobbying by the student government convinced the school in October to give Douglas and Burney dormitories the same visitation policies that now govern the rest of the campus. The change in policy takes place in January. The change does not affect rules also established this year that limit opposite-sex visitation to noon to 11:30 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and from noon to 2:00 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays in all dormitories. In the past, students in each dorm were allowed to deter mine their own visitation policies. Ramsdale says that she expects the controversy to heat up again in the spring. She says the student gov ernment will again oppose the restrictions. "This is not an issue of morality," says Ramsdale. "This is a question of student rights, student privileges, roommate rights and maturity." For more information, contact Mary Louise Ramsdale at (803) 777- 2654 and State Representative Mike Fair at (803) 734-8493.
