problem-solving skills from their own academic and social experiences during
college, participate on a student panel during the College Logistics' class,
and help students at night and on the weekend in the dorm. Telephone

per hour for a total of 80 hours-- week-day, evenings, and some weekend
hours) and room and board for 
two weeks.   Specific schedules determined upon hire. Final
