Park Place fed up with vandalism
by DAN DEM AY
LIFE Staff Writer ,
Park Place Apartment residents might think twice before vandalizing their own abodes, or face the threat of eviction and possible
prosecution. Manager Judy Green said Wednesday.
Green said vandalism to Building 0 has reached drastic
proportions and she's nqt going to tolerate it.
"We're sick of it,', she said, "and we're not going to put up with it
any more."
Green said other Park Place buildings, 1301 E. Bellows, are free
from vandalism, but noted destruction to Building 0 has increased
since four- CMU students in the complex learned they were being
evicted as a result of a party they hosted last Friday.
Park Place policy states parties shall be hosted inside rooms only
and guests should be controlled. y
One of the evicted students, Mike Hansen, Romeo junior, said
about 10 of his guests were in the hallway and some holes were
kicked in walls during the party.
Moreover, Hansen said his eviction marks the first time Green
has enforced the party policy, but Green disagrees. She said other
tenants have been evicted.
The others evicted this week are Jim Painter, Alpena junior; Dan
VanGoethem, Norway sophomore; and Dave Alrich, Traverse City
sophomore.
Although Green said Building 0 damage estimates have not been
completed, she noted it's extensive.
"There's like 12 holes now, and (this week) a handrail was torn
off," Green explained. "One hole went through a girl's kitchen. Now
what's the sense in that?"
Even though Green isn't pleased with the damage in Building 0,
she admits she has seen worse.
'"I had one year where kids destroyed an entire building in 48
hours," she recollected, "and a father asked what took them so long.

Administrators' secretaries found invaluable

..* *.w»s-.-*ii;*.iM,*f." 'A't&xrtt . .- i
Janet Mti^Wigester and Louise Ilene Covn
figure prominently in the business of running
CMU, even though they are virtually unknown.
The two serve as administrative executive
aides working directly with President Harold
Abel and Provost John Cantelon.
Just as diamonds are considered a girl's best
friend, these two secretaries are thought of by
Central's top executives as virtually invaluable.
"I couldn't function without them. They're
absolutely essential. They set the tone for the
office," Cantelon said.
Cova works directly with Cantelon while
Wagester answers to the president.
"An efficient secretary is the most important
aspect of my office. In effect, it lifts a bundle of
work for me," Abel said.
"It's an old jokej that secretaries run
organizations and I'm not so sure that's not far
from the truth," Abel added.
Being in a prestigious, but yet unheralded,
position requires a lot of flexibility in a diversified role.
"It's very interesting. It's busy in that there is
a lot of work—people coming and going,"
Wagester said.
"You talk to government people, your day is
varied and you never know what the next phone
call is going to be."
Neither of the two secretaries, who work in the
same office directly across from one another,
views her role as too executive.
"It helps to know people. I guess the title
senior executive aide is important but I don't
think the title secretary is degrading," Cova said.
"I've always been pleased to say that Irm a
secretary."

Just being a secretary is one thing but being a
secretary in the President's Office takes a certain
kind of individual, Canetlon confessed.
"They have to be highly versatile. They
probabiy'deal with a wider range of campus than
any other persons on campus," Cantelon said.
"They have to be public relations people and
have to be able to make mature judgements.
"There's just a tremendous variety to the kinds
of situations they have to know how to deal with,"
Cantelon added.
Abel went a bit further in his criteria for a
'secretary.
"I think most important of all, you must be a
pleasant person—not be short-tempered and be a
people-oriented person," Abel said.
"The way people are greeted in the President's
Office flavors their attitude toward the institution."
/Wagester, who will be entering her third year
assisting Abel Feb. 9, looks at her role as supporting the president and keeping him on track.
"Probably for every scheduled meeting, there
are as many unscheduled meetings," Wagester
said.
"It (the job) involves a lot of juggling with the
schedule and trying to work people in."
Being an administrator's aide involves more
than the traditional stereotypical view of typing,
filing and scheduling appointments.
For Cova it entails working on the Dean of Arts
and Sciences Search Committe, acting secretary
for the Institute for Personal and Career
Development Directors committee as well as
monitoring the beginning of the student/faculty
directory. .
Cova, who is in her seventeenth year at CMU
and her fifth with Cantelon, also works on the
administrative calendar and helps coordinate the
faculty line of march in the December and May

Cautious -collegiate? can control contamination
by TERRI FINCH
LIFE Staff Writer
Passing\ Valentine kisses
seems innocent enough, but if
circumstances are right, that
spark of passion could lead to an
• outbreak of mononucleosis.
But'the key, according to a
Health Center nurse practitioner, isn't the kiss, but the
general health of the kissers.
"The^ communicability of
infectious mononucleosis is very
low," said Fern Natzel, nurse
associate of University Health
Services. "A person has to be in
a most receptive state—
rundown, tired,
"This is why mono is so
prevalent in college students,
because they're usually not
resting or eating properly."
Often referred to as the
"kissing    disease,"    mono    is
"Females seem to be a little more
susceptible. I'm in the process of looking
up the physiological aspects to see if any
chemical factors might contribute to
this. "—Fern Natzel, nurse associate
transmitted through an infected
person's saliva. But mere
contact doesn't guarantee infection.
"Everyone who comes in
contact with mono doesn't get
it," Natzel said. "We all
probably come into contact with
it many times. You have to-he in
that rundown, susceptible
state."
Natzel said 90 CMU students
contacted mono last year. A
study she conducted on those
students revealed the greatest
number were freshman and
sophomore women.
"Females seem to be a little
more susceptible," Natzel said.
"I'm in the process of looking up
the physiological aspects to see
if any chemical factors might
contribute to this. My guess is
that maybe females can't stand
up to stress as well."
Natzel said the greatest
number of mono patients last
year came in during September,,
October, November and April.
Those high stress periods—the
beginning of the school year and
exam weeks—tend to lower
students'' resistance, making
them. more vulnerable to the
disease, she said.
