I have heard of other colleges that have a co-ed roommate program in the
campus residence halls.  Does anyone out there in net-land know of such
a program, its effects on campus, successes, failures, praises,
downfalls, etc.?

I will be graduating this year with distinction from Concordia University
in Montreal.  I am considering pursuing my studies by entering an MBA or
an M.Sc. Admin. program.

I would appreciate advice from professionals and human resource managers
as to the value of each of these degrees in the work market.

Thanks !

(Followups to rec.music.misc)

Now this is not a formal call for discussion, mainly because I dont have
the power to initiate a new newsgroup.  Instead, I’m just throwing the
idea out in the air to see if it appeals to others.  If it does, then
maybe an alt.radio should be created, or possibly a call for discussion
for rec.arts.radio.

Anyway, is there any interest to starting a new newsgroup to discuss
RADIO?  This would/could encompass many different avenues of radio (not
just music).

Possible Ideas Of Discussion:

Talk Radio:  Larry King, Bob Grant, Paul Harvey, etc.
Personalities:  Howard Stern, Scott Shannon, Rick Dees, Jonathon Brandemeier,
                Casey Kasem, Dr. Ruth.
College Radio:  What are they programming?  Under what constraints?
Formats: Pop, CHR, Urban, Jazz, Country, All News, All Sports, Talk Radio
Syndicated Programs:  American Top 40, House Party, Dr. Demento, Oldies
Networks:  Westwood One, The Wave
International:  What is radio like around the world?
Armed Forces Radio:  What are the soldiers hearing?
Sporting Events:  Coverage of Baseball, Basketball, Football
Special Events:  Minute of Silence, John Lennon Tribute.
Stations:  K-Rock versus WNEW  KLOS  WCAU’s big switch
Morning Shows:   Zoos, Personalities, Music/News/Traffic Jokes Of The Day
Overnights:  Tom Synder
Music:  What are Pop Stations playing?  Where is the Jazz station in Detroit?
World Premieres:  When does <favorite artist> new single premiere?
Promotions:  Contests, wacky DJ stunts, guest DJs
Legal:  Will FCC issue a new indecency law?  
Business:  Will CBS have to give ownership of its radio stations after Paley?
Technology:  Will the FCC ever agree on a standard for AM Stereo?
Future:  How soon will digital radio arrive?

While some may say that radio is a local thing, I am interested in hearing
about local programming.  Vanilla Ice "Ice Ice Baby" was (according to Shadoe)
originally a ‘B’ side hit that was played repeatedly by a Southern DJ.  So,
postings of what is happening locally is interesting because local
stations can indeed influence others.

Now, while my friends may say that this is just an excuse to read what Howard
Stern is doing on a daily basis, I am interesting in hearing about the radio
industry as a whole, and I am hoping there are others out there with the same
interest.

So, any interest?  That’s just a short list above.  Feel free to add.  And if
it seems like there’s enough interest, how about someone who has the power to
create new newsgroup taking charge?

Colleges and universities receiving federal aid will soon have to provide
campus crime statistics to students, employees, and prospective students upon
request. The legislation is pending President Bush’s signature of the bill.
I am currently researching the relationship of the security conditions and
incidents on the college campus with the admissions process. Are crime
statistics important indicators of the level of security provided at a  
particular school?
Does the "image" of a school have close ties to the crimes previously  
committed?

There is a very good conservative magazine at Notre Dame — "Dialogue at
Notre Dame".  It isn’t quite as extreme as the Review, but it’s really good.
As far as quoting Hitler, I don’t know the exact circumstances around the
situation, so I’m not going to pass judgement on it.
