Nl li' Being a pre-engineering coop student and actively involved on campus, keeps sophomore Tony McMullin on the move. Tony enjoys spending his time on campus sewing on the Student Senate Appropria- tions Committee, as treasurer of the College Hispanic American Students, and as chair of Program Council's Hispanic Events Committee for the past two years but admits that he has to balance his extracurricular ac- tivities with his demanding academics. For the past two years, Tony has been the Assistant Systems Manager for the CME departments computer lab and says that he has enjoyed working with computers since he was in high school and developed a tutor network to assist elementary and junior high students with computers in his district. Tony continues to try to help people relate to com- puters and get over their fear of computers in his coop position with Rockwell International. He is cur- rently working on a program to help with the automa- tion of office procedures. Tony is quick to point out that cooping is so different from class work. If there is a problem with an assignment the professor can either help you or change the assignment, but if there is a 'glitch' in the program or it doesn't completely meet its intended needs, you have to work with it un- til you can come up with something that works. Tony describes SMU as a trying, maturing ex- periencef' He sees that students are hasseled as op- posed to being treated as consumers - it is taken for granted that we will come back. Tony also feels that it takes too much to change things on campus. For coop students, Tony points to problems with housing, financial aid and meal services as areas that coop students are seldom considered and few excep- tions are made. He says that it is hard to be a coop stu- dent when only the engineering school supports the program. He admits that it would be easier to go to Texas A8cM, but believes that SMU is a challenge and is going to make something better of me in the long run.
