It is this type of comment that
Rouis said gave her the initiative
to start Teachers of Tomorrow.
"From the. feedback of other
students, I began to formulate
some ideas for the club and how
it could get started. I researched
some ofthe other colJeges that
have education clubs and what
they do, what they find success-
ful and what worked for them. It.
has ended up working out great,'-'
Rouis
said.
The Teachers of Tomorrow held
a book fair last week, and Nocella
said it was a great-success.
According to Nocella; the sale
made all types of books available,
including children's books and
school books.

According to Rouis, they are
also hoping to create a channel.
for education majors to findjobs
after graduation.
"It's in the works to formulate
some kind of career expo just for
education majors, Rouis said. "It
would definitely have to be later
on in the year, because that's
when schools are looking for next
year's teachers, and they know
what spots are open.''

picked because it is part of the
original campus," she added.
The purpose of a school ring
is symbolic, said Cox.
"If
you customize your ring, it
really wouldn't be a Marist ring,"
said Cox. '.'It's like a wedding
band. It shows the commitment
one person has to another.
Marist alumni with the same ring
would recognize the ring on the
hand of the wearer," he added.
Contemporary and modem style
rings allow Class majors, Greek
lettering, and athletics to be
_im-
printed on one side, replacing the
Marist seal, but all rings bought
through the college would have
one of the two historic buildings.
Other limitations apply to the
choice of stone. It has to be ei-
ther a garnet or ruby, and the
color of the stone must be red in
commemoration of Marist Col-
lege.
A choice of metal, either gold

or lustrium is also limiting, and
students say they feel the prices
are extremely high, ranging from
$200 for the lustrium metal, to al-
most $600 for the most expensive
gold ring.
Junior Charlie Melichar said the
prices are just too damn expen-
sive.
"I can barely afford to eat in
the cabaret, let alone buy a class
ring," he added.

You know, "Where's the 't'?
Okay, got that down, now
where's the 'h'? Okay, doing

Absorbed. with technology as
I
was at that point is was no small
wonder I noticed anything at all.
Anyhow, it seems that the com-
puter next to me was broken, and.
out of commission. Well, what
really happened was some hoo-
ligans were making shenanigans
by stealing the little ball out :of
the mouse, thus rendering that
particular machine utterly use-
less.
With a broken mouse, it's ob-
vious lo see what exac.tly the
problem is; you can look right ar
the thing and see it's busted. It's
simple.
But these people would just
stare blankly at the mouse like it
was some sort of advanced alien
technology.

impossible, they can't believe it.
Their little task or activity sud-

Dear Editor:
I am a senior and I thought that
getting
an
internship would help
my chances of getting a job.
Currently,
I intern at the Hudson
Valley Film and Video Office
and
it is much different than I ex-
pected. Everyone thinks that
they will be working on sets of
movies but actually my job is
much more important .. At the
film office 'Yelocate scout,s for
feature films as well as.television
commercials. About a month
ago Michael Jackson filmed ms
video in Warwick County.
My
goal is to become·a filmaker
and my internship has_taughtme
a lot'about the film fo~ustry. I
have worked on a student film
as .,a second assistant director,
production assistant and as a
grip. Having this internship has
lead me to work on l;lCtual
projects as well as meeting
people in the business. To any-
one who· enjoys film, The

The team now has its goal set
