"Huh? I'm Status 2 and I just went electronic today?" "That's it. Next!" I reach Station 17. I repeat the information. "Well, that's just fine, son. Now, do you have copies of the applica- tion, signed, typed and, of course, in triplicate?" Of course I don't. My mission aborted, I slink in shame from Station 17 while the man gives me his best you-poor-dumb-slob look. My resolve is firm, though. I will not be daunted.

But I will show them all. Especial- ly the man at Station 17. "Here are the forms," I say as I return, smiling triumphantly. "I believe you'll find them signed, typed and, of course, in triplicate." "So they are, my friend," he says in a cheerful voice. Not a good sign. "So I can go home now, right? I am free of you, right?" His grin widens; I grow frantic. "What more do you need? When will this madness end?" He folds his hands, mocking sympathy, concern: "My dear fel- low, these forms merely provide clearance for you to receive more forms, which must be filled out before we can confirm your GSL 2 status. And I think you'd agree that it is in everybody's best in- terest that your electronic posi- tion is approved, am I right?" I am unsure, but I must admit an unapproved electronic position does sound rather uncomfortable, See BURGARD, Page 23 When money, fun and stocks meet t:DAmn DD17C u _. v - - - Investment Club offers students chance to learn while making money By Dina Alcure The Brown and White Lehigh U., PA For those who have ever had a dream of playing the stock market, and who want just for a moment to be on the corporate circuit of Wall Street, the Lehigh Investment Club is for you. The club offers students first-hand experience in buying and trading stocks within markets such as the American Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange and Over the Counter stocks. Members are armed with a $65,000 portfolio and a broker from Prudential Bache Securities. The membership, comprised of appro- ximately 120 students, is divided into groups of three or four. Each group is given a set of money and has autonomy to buy or to sell stock. Before a group makes a trade, it must get approval from the club's officers or from the club's adviser, assistant finance professor David Leahigh. The group which makes the most money from the original port- folio wins a cash prize. "This way, people will feel closer to their own investment," club treasurer Karl Thunberg said. "They will have more control over their money." In addition to stock trading, the club offers tips on how to look for a good stock investment and about the investment process itself. "Students actively participate and take this information into the classroom and into the future. The ... club had greater appeal for students," club presi- dent Jeff Gendel said. "Our goal is not so much for students to make money, but for them to learn," Thunberg said. National contest gives competitors opportunities to win cash, prizes, trips By Stacy Sweazy Kansas State Collegian Kansas State U. While Wall Street tycoons are con- cerned with the buying and selling of stocks, a national corporation has come up with a similar diversion for college students. The First Annual AT&T Collegiate Investment Challenge is a competition open to college students across the country. Contending for the $200,000 in cash and prizes are thousands of students who began play in the stock market challenge game this month. For an en- try fee of $49.95, students take control See CHALLENGE, Page 23 I ~ ~ 0V6 V Im6IIuu1m3IIuaIIsItIIIIII IIIItm .zooms Pas 6laIas uww JOng~ id-easy ski week in Aspen grab you edible days in a great hotel, two ski resort lift tickets ew pairs of K-2® skis as well!! se heavy-duty library books back to your dorm! ,d with our very own Grape-Nuts® brand logo! irts.

Highly publicized accounts of white- collar crime have reached an alarming level during the 1980s. To combat the problem, corporate and academic Amer- ica are now attempting to educate peo- ple about the importance of ethical be- havior in the modern world. Revelations about Drexel Burnham Corp. have rekindled media attention that reached a peak more than a year ago. More and more universities are im- plementing ethical training as an integ- ral part of their curriculum. "If ethical training is applied to a number of business situations, the stu- dent develops a method of making value judgments," said Nancy Marshfield, a Georgia State professor of legal studies. "And that will be carried far into their business lives." For a school to gain accreditation, the IfI :ESSARY.1.
