Tutor hired for GSP-Corbin
By VERONICA JONGENELEN Staff Reporter
Some residents of Gertrude S. Pearson and Corbin residence halls are finding their homework easier to handle with the help of Bob Lozito, a Salina graduate student in pharmacology and physiology.
"I know the ins and outs of the system," he said. "I think that helps a lot."
Lozito was hired as a tutor after he interviewed for a librarian position at the hall. Now his help is available to the residents for six hours a week.
LOZITO SAID that his experience as a student included learning good study habits, something that a lot of freshmen needed to do.
"Some kids will call down here the night before a test," Lozito said. "I can't help them then. I'm not God. I can't bless them over the phone."
"I try to help the people that I can," he said. "I will help them, I can. If I can't, I don't waste my time. I don't know everything, I just tell people that I can't help them. I don't try to come off as Mr. Wizard."
Lozito said that use of the center was sporadic and that few students knew when he was working.
"I'm getting my studying done," he said.
LINDA LENTZ, resident director of GCS-Porbin, said the Academic Resource Center did not open until later and some residents knew about it.
"Now we are working on a kind of advertising campaign. We put it in the first newsletter that he was there," she said, adding that flyers also were sent up.
The center and Lozito's wages are paid for out of the hall's library fund. The students he does see, Lozoto said, often the ones who need his help the least.
“It’s those kids who get a 3.8 in high school, come to college and start getting C's and D's that don't get help.
"The people who need to use this library the most, we don't see."
THOSE STUDENTS who seek help from advisers or teachers probably will not get it if them, he added.
"I hope this lasts all year," Lozito said. "I really like it. I get a different perspective on how things look, compared to when I was in the world." He did not make the same mistakes I did because when I needed somebody, there was nobody there."
"The advising system has improved, but things are getting harder," he said. "You've got to know what you're going to do. The teachers here, I'm not saying they're not trying to help people, but they just don't have the time."
Equal pay for job skills to be the issue of'80s
Lenz said she planned to see how much Lozito was used. If the program is a success, she said, Lozito may work more hours.
NO OTHER RESIDENCE hall has a tutor, although some of them maintain a list of people who live in the hall and are willing to tutor others.

Equal pay for jobs that differ in content yet compare in required skill, intelligence and effort will be the civil rights issue of the '80s, Eleanor Holmes Johnson, chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, said yesterday.
Norton told a conference of the Human Resource Program in the Kansas Union that a recent Supreme Court decision could break "the proverbial sound barrier of equal pay for equal work and carry into the area where men and women are paid differently for different work."
In the Gunther versus the County of Washington case last June, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that wages paid to female guards at an Oregon prison were unconstitutional andpaid male guards, even though the men and women performed different duties.
Norton, EEOC chairman in the Carter administration, was the keynote speaker at the two-day conference on climate change of Human Resource Management."
NORTON SAID the decision promised a broader application of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which禁止 sexual discrimination in employment.
no easy and automatic way out of wage discrimination," Norton said. "Since 1964, the gap has actually widened between men's and women's wages."
Wage discrimination on the average job is up $2,000 a year from 10 years ago. Norton said. And while men receive large dollar increases when they earn a college degree, women with degrees can expect only small gains.
Norton said wage equality in the future would depend on the courts recognizing the value of "comparable worth," an evaluation used to determine wage fairness between jobs that greatly differ in nature.
It's not fair that the state of Connecticut pays medical stenographers the same low wages that it pays to a doctor. The jobs are not comparable, she said.
"The Civil Rights Act proves there is
Norton said that the only way the comparable worth test would survive was if its supporters started with jobs that were similar.
"If we feed the courts too much, too early, they'll regurgitate everything," she said.
