EMERNEWS Highlights of the School Year as reported and published by The Berkeley Beacon Berkeley Beacon October 25, 1 982 A $22,211 Oversight SGA Deficit Incorrect by Terry Waller The final session of Representative Assembly for 1982 was held Tuesday night. And with its conclusion came probably the most applauded an- nouncement of the semester. Director of Accounting Bob Mem- molo allayea remaining representative suspicion by stating the SGA student debt was not $45,000. The figure of $45,000 came from an accounting error in the fiscal reports. A review of the fiscal expenditures revealed the duplicate booking of two SGA expenditures in the year that ended June 30, 1982. These two items included Hunter Publishing in the amount of $10,522.82 and the Hyatt Regency in the amount of $11,688.47. Thus it resulted in the SGA deficit being overstated by the amount of $22,21 1.29. According to memorandum produced by the Director of Ac- counting, Bob Memmolo, the errors have been corrected. Now ' the adjusted SGA deficit is $23,358.89. Representative Assembly was prepared to enact legislation to real- locate the existing funds. However, a majority of the representatives were ab- sent from Tuesday’s session. The as- sembly did not reach a quorum, so it was unable to take action on a number of crucial questions — those are; (1) Should SGA follow the initial repay- Elayne Berman, Representative Assembly Secretary ment and pay the first installment of $17,000, thus leaving a $6358 debit balance to be paid? (2) Should SGA reorganize a new payment plan where the deficit could be repayed over the same amount of time but in smaller amounts? (3) How would the ad- ditional funds be reallocated? (4) Should the money be used to bring organizations to 1981 - 1982 level fun- ding? These were Just some of the ques- tions raised for general discussion since there weren’t enough representatives there to vote. So resolution of student activity funds will have to wait until after the winter vacation. Said one representative, “Here it is December, and the error was just found. Hmm - 1 guess that’s Emerson; I guess that must be our Christmas present’’. 23

Berkeley Beacon October 25, 1982 Students Form Escort Service by Eileen McDermott Resident Assistants at Charlesgate, Ruth Twichell and Janet Jennings are in charge of a new project here at Emerson, a Safety Escort Service. Stu- dents who were concerned about their safety at night in Boston, felt they needed escorts. The Safety Escort Ser- vice will provide those escorts. After preliminary planning with Leslie Luft, Director of Programming at Charlesgate, the format for the program was set up. The Service will be available Monday through Saturday nights, from 7.00 p.m. to 2;00 a m. A place has been set up where people who want escorts can call and speak to a dispatcher. The dispatcher will ask a series of routine questions and call one of the escorts on duty. The Safety Escort Service will be coed, since both males and females need escorts. There are volunteer positions available for students who wish to par- ticipate. Escorts, Phone Dispatchers and Shift Supervisors art needed. Escorts will be “on call from four to eight hours per week. They will be paired or tripled up to lead students to or from their destination. They live in either Charlesgate or Fensgate It is hoped that once a specific work space is set up, students • not living in Charlesgate or Fensgate will be eligible to work. For the time JJ being, the positions will only be open to Charlesgate and Fensgate residents. 3 Telephone Dispatchers will answer 3 phones, ask questions and call the es- corts Another position available is q that of the Shift Supervisor. The will be g responsible for making up schedules f for both the escorts and the dis- patchers People are needed to fill these positions. There will be interviews for those interested. The week trial period for the service began on October 18. Overall reaction to the service has been favorable. Harriet Mohr, Direc- tor of Housing, is looking into the pos- sibility of the Escort Service becoming a Work-study program, much like the Escort Service at Boston University, but for now, the program will be com- pletely volunteer. Kathy Manning, Assistant Dean of Students, is also enthusiastic about the program. She offered the possibility of using the desk at the Student Union as a work area. She would like to get reflecting vests and indentification cards for the escorts. Although some students feel that it may be difficult to get students to call the service, most think it is a good idea. Everyone is concerned about their safety and many students said they would use the service. If any student would like to volunteer their time to the service, ask questions or give suggestions, they may call Ruth Twichell at 247-3798 or Janet Jennings at 247-9217. The Escort Ser- vice number is 247-8408. It is hoped that many students will use the Escort Service ' to get from place to place. It is for your own safety. 24
