By John Thomas Pollard Staff WrUer
During thcpat summer the Counseling and Career Services office (CCS) underwent major staff changes including the resignations of former director RobcrtKcmmerling and John McLaughlin, coordinator of the Alcoliol Education Grant. Upon Kcmrnerling's resignation on June 30, officials from CCS and the S JU administration began a search for a new director. The search was unsuccessful, and as a result Barabara Peterson, a CCS career counselor, was appointed interim director.
GeraldincMcehan, has been hired as a permanent member of the CCS staff to fill Kcmmcrling's former personal counseling role, as well as assuming McLaughlin's role as coordinator of the Alcohol Education Grant. In addition to the naming of Mcehan, Mark Shimota was hired to assume the career counseling role that Peterson is foregoing due to her administrative duties as director. Mark Wenger was also hired as a career counselor and as a staff coordinator for the Peer Resources Program, The Challenge Course, as well as the Career Resource Center, a facility containing information relevant to all aspects of career acquisition. CCS also offers programs such as Adult Children of Alcoholics, The 10% Group, and a Dream Interpretation Group. 'These programs are offered on an individual or group basis depending upon the program," Peterson said.
"What we wish to stress is that all that is revealed
Barbara Peterson,
in relation to any of our programs is held in strict confidence," Peterson said. "One of our goals this year is to make our officemore accessible, and we have found that confidentiality is an important issue for many people in regards to accessibility."
According to Peterson the search for a permanent director has presently been postponed, but will be continued next spring. Peterson will remain interim director through June 30, 1989 in order "to establish stability" within the office for this academic year.

Thomas Andert, OSB, is the new headmaster at St. John's Preparatory School (SJP), which is the state's oldest private high school. Andert, a graduate of both the Prep School and the University has returned to St. John's after a six-year stay at Benilde-St. Margaret's High School (BSM) in St. Louis Park, Mn.
In his first stay at SJP, Andert was a disciplinarian and a German teacher. During a four-year presidency at BMS as Andert went to the College of St. Thomas and earned a graduate degree in school administration.
In his present stay at SJP Andert .would like to change its image, both at SJU and in the surrounding community. At SJU there is the "family problem"—that being SJU as the "older brother" to SJP and the passing down of problems that occur here to the "little brother," SJP. In the surrounding community SJP has the image of being a place for rich elitists. To combat these problems Andert is setting up better communications with the community and SJU. If there is something wrong with SJP, the communities will be able to communicate wiih the school and it will be able to change. To help stem the elitist stigma there was $250,000 in financial aid made available to students and about 80% or $200,000, went to students from the surrounding community. Andert will also defend the elitist image by saying that SJP has a standard
Thomas Andert, OSB
to uphold to keep it the best possible place for education.
Another ambitious program headed by Andert is a 5.5 million dollar capital campaign in honor of the late Otto Weber, OSB. Nearly half of this goal has been reached. The campaign will enable SJP to construct their own dining service, fine arts building and maybe a dormitory to house female students.

A temporary, movable addition to the Science Hall is helping to deal with the crunch for professors' office space. Thirteen math, science, and computer science professors occupy the new facility. SJU instructor in mathematics, Mike Gass, comments that the quiet, roomy new offices alleviated an immediate crisis for office space.
