Although Rainbow Publishing in-
ternational promised to refund the
money to those who were hired,
chases research shows it is hard for a
Michigan resident to collect from an
out of state firm and many firms set
difficult or impossible conditions.
Chase al 0 said there is no
evidence of a job boom in Kuwait,
particularly for unskilled workers.
ALTHOUGH THE Rainbow
company representative said that
there are "very high wages,"
$270,000 a year - tax free," -
Chase's research indicates this is
very unlikely to happen to unskilled
workers, or those with prison
records.
"There are many employment
schemes like this," a representative
of the consumer affairs department
said. "Appealing to desperation
caused by the recession."

not be illegal. The representative

among A.fJ'iQD Americans
minorities Is overwhelming.
A spokesperson, who asked to
remain anonymous defended the
eXams, saying "The exams are made . I
up of material that is basicially on a
high school level. There is nothing 'I
difficult about it. If tudents would
prepare themselve , by using the
Learning Lab or seeking help
through our tutorial ervlce, which is
free of charge, I don't see any reason
for failure.
Personally, I don't think we have
a problem. The media has blown this
thing all out of proportion."
Students on the other band, point
outit is not possible to do an in-depth
study of test results or difficulty be­
cause records from previous exams
are systematically destroyed.
�OBN STANIK, psychology
major, said he was humiliated after
he was asked to demonstrate his
English abilities to receive his de­
gree.
"I was never told that I had a
problem with English until I trans­
fe� to Wayne State University. I
think there are some ulterior motives
behind those exams. What purpose
do they serve? I feel it's a waste of
time, " Stanik said.
No one from the University will
explain what purpose the exam ser­
ves. They would only say that
failure is an indication the student
needs additional study.
"It's a 'weeding out' tool. Most
learning institutions have some
trivial rule that students must fol­
low," says Emma Johnston, 37,
economics major ..
"Generally, when there i a class
that doesn't make sense and has
nothing to do with your major, you
can be assured, that it is probably a
class that is used to weed out so
called 'Inferior' students. Therefore
in my opinion, the whole concept has
racist overtones, "Johnston said.
. "I FEE4 that if the Vice Presi­
dent of the United States can
misspell potato and survive, then I
can survive without. an English
Proflciency Examination," be said.
Or, they can petition the depart­
ment to offer other alternatives.
However, it has been noted that no
consideration has ever been given to-
a petitioner. 'i.,
It has been suggested that the
1- math and English proficiency re­
quirement nould be a barrier to
enter the University, not to exit.
