2 Get Key Promotions


In Personnel Bureau


Two key promotions have been
announced by the Personnel Bu-
reau.
David J. Niedzialek, Chief, Ad-
verse and Disciplinary Actions
Section, has been promoted to
Chief, Wage and Classification
Branch, and Julian P. Rodriguez,
Personnel Management Specialist
in the Personnel and Policies and
Programs Staff, has been moved
up to Chief, Employment and
Placement Branch.
Niedzialek is replacing Emmet
J. Jacques, who has resigned to
accept a position in the United
States, and Rodriguez succeeds
William R. Zemites, who recently
retired.
Born in Syracuse, N.Y., Nied-
zialek was graduated in 1963 from
Syracuse University with a bach-
elor of science degree in personnel
and industrial relations.
He has been with the Canal or-
ganization since November 1970
when he was hired as an employee
relations specialist at the Per-
sonnel Bureau's Cristobal office.
Niedzialek was promoted to Chief,
Cristobal Offices, the following
year, and in 1972 was transferred
to the Pacific side as Chief, Ad-
verse and Disciplinary Actions, the
position he held until his recent
promotion.
Prior to joining the Canal orga-
nization, Niedzialek was employed
from 1965 to 1967 by General
Motors as a quality control analyst.
The following year, he served as a
personnel assistant in the Per-
sonnel Training Program at Aber-
deen Proving Grounds, Md., trans-
ferring in 1968 to the Jefferson
Proving Grounds, Ind., where he
was a position classification spe-
cialist. In 1969, he returned to
the Isthmus employed in the same
capacity by the Civilian Personnel
Office at Corozal.
Immediately following gradua-
tion from college, he served in the
Army and was stationed at Fort
Clayton as a lieutenant.
A captain in the U.S. Army
Reserve, Niedzialek is a member
of the 2790th USAR Regiment in
the Canal Zone and a member of
the Canal Zone Reserve Officers
Association.
He and his wife, the former
Delmira Molina Gustines, of Pan-
ama City, have two sons: Larry,
8; and John, 5. For relaxation,
Niedzialek enjoys spending off
duty hours with his family at the
beach house that he built at Playa
Corona.
Rodriguez, a native of Boston,
Mass., has been with the Panama


Canal since January 1965. He is
a 1958 graduate of Georgetown
University where he received a
bachelor of arts degree in English.
He also has done graduate work at
the University of Oklahoma in the
Canal Zone.
After teaching school for 5 years
in Forestville, Md., he joined the
Peace Corps in November 1962
and came to Panama with the first
group of volunteers, serving in
Santiago until November 1964.
With that first group assigned
to Panama also was Latvian-born
Verenanda Leitans, whom Rodri-
guez had met at Peace Corps
training in New York City. As a
member of the Peace Corps, she
was sent to Sona, also in the in-
terior of Panama, about 30 miles
from Santiago. They were married
6 months before leaving the Peace
Corps.
Rodriguez began his Canal
career as an employee develop-
ment assistant at the Training
Center and a year later was trans-
ferred to the Atlantic side where
he worked for 2Y2 years in Ad-
verse and Disciplinary Actions. Re-

4fW-


The subject of Canal Zone Col-
lege school tuition has been the
topic of continuing queries, which
apparently need further clarifica-
tion.
An article in the July 16 issue
of the SPILLWAY announced an in-
crease in tuition rates for the
1976-77 school year and an im-
portant policy change with regard
to sponsorship at Canal Zone
College.
A second article, published the
past week, pointed out that the
change in sponsorship policy for
the college, which was to be im-
plemented at the start of the fall
term, is being deferred for 1
semester.
The deferment, it was noted,
was given to provide more time for
other Government agencies to
examine alternatives for students
affected by the sponsorship change
at the college, including the pos-
sibility of obtaining authority and
funds to sponsor such students.
Not affected by the deferment will
be the increase in tuition rates for
both sponsored and non-sponsored
students.
Under the law, the Canal orga-
nization is required to be self-
sustaining and to obtain full re-
imbursement for services provided
to employees and dependents of
other U.S. Government agencies,
including education. In the case
of the Canal Zone College, the

Civic Councils To Hear

Emergency Planning Talks
Dr. Paul J. Campanella, of the
Executive Planning Staff, will dis-
cuss "emergency preparedness
planning" before the Gamboa
Civic Council at 7:30 p.m., Au-
gust 31, in the Gamboa Civic
Center.
Dr. Campanella will travel to
the Atlantic side September 2 to
deliver a similar talk before a joint
meeting of the Gatun, Margarita
and Coco Solo-France Field Civic
Councils. This meeting will begin
at 7 p.m. in the Cristobal High
School Auditorium.
Both talks will be followed by
question and answer sessions.

Canal organization by default has
been subsidizing the education of
various students affiliated with
other U.S. Government agencies
by extending the sponsored rate
regardless of reimbursement by
such agencies. These agencies pre-
sently will sponsor only unmarried
minor dependents under the age
of 21 for full-time study at the
college. As a result, the Canal or-
ganization has for some time been
absorbing the difference between
the actual cost of providing educa-
tion at the college and the low
rate of tuition being paid by all
other students affiliated with these
agencies, including all part-time
students. No authority exists to
continue this practice.
Following are questions and an-
swers intended to clarify the school
tuition policy:
Q. What is a sponsored tuition?
A. A sponsored tuition is one in
which the agency of the employee
pays the difference between the
actual cost of providing education
at the college and the low rate of
tuition charged the student. For
example, sponsored tuition at
Canal Zone College in the coming
fall term will be $220 per semester
for full-time students and $18 per
credit hour for part-time.

Q. What is a non-sponsored
tuition?
A. A non-sponsored tuition is
the tuition cost charged to an in-
dividual who is not financially
sponsored by a U.S. Government
agency. Non - sponsored tuition
rates at Canal, Zone College this
fall will be $1,050 per semester
for full-time students and $65 per
credit hour for part-time.
Q. Which students are spon-
sored by the various agencies?
A. Presently, the Canal organi-
zation provides sponsorship for all
its U.S.-citizen employees, spouses
and dependents and those of non-
U.S. employees living in the Canal
Zone for full-time and part-time
study at the college. The Depart-
ment of Defense, Department of
State, FAA, Smithsonian Institu-
tion and other U.S. Government
agencies provide sponsorship only
for unmarried dependents of their
U.S.-citizen employees under 21
years of age for full-time study
only.
Q. Does the tuition assistance
or tuition refund program of a
U.S. Government agency consti-
tute financial sponsorship for en-
rollment at the Canal Zone Col-
lege?
A. No. The tuition refund or
assistance programs are designed
to defray the cost to the employee
of obtaining additional education
or training which will be useful
to him in his present or future
position with that agency. It does
not involve payment to the Canal
Zone Government of the difference
between the cost of providing the
courses at Canal Zone College and
the tuition rate paid by the
student.
Q. I am a military wife who
paid only $15 the past semester
per credit hour at the college and
will have to pay $18 in the coming
term. How much will I have to
pay during the second term?
A. If the U.S. Military obtains
funds and authority to pay for
your sponsorship, you will con-
tinue to pay $18. If not, however,
you will have to pay the non-
sponsored rate of $65 per credit
hour.

Monday will be the happiest
day of the year for Maria Aldridge
-the first day of a new school
year.
Greeting a class of youngsters
with "Buenos dias, nifios," she will
begin to expose English-speaking
youngsters to the Spanish language.
And as months pass, she will
reap a teacher's reward-the ex-
citement in young eyes when,
suddenly and unexpectedly, the
strange sounds of a foreign lan-
guage become meaningful.
Maria was born and attended
elementary school in Told, Pro-
vince of Chiriqui. She came to
Panama City for high school at the
Liceo de Sefioritas and, after com-
pleting her third year, received a
scholarship to the normal school
in Santiago to study teaching.
As soon as she received her
teaching diploma, she was em-
ployed by the Canal Zone Divi-
sion of Schools and she enrolled
in the University of Panama. After
attending the university at night
and during summers for 5 years,
she received a bachelor of arts

Maria Aldridge


degree in elementary education in
1962.
For 4� of those years, she taught
full time at the Rainbow City Ele-
mentary School, commuting from
the Atlantic side each evening for
classes.
When Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity opened an extension pro-
gram in the Canal Zone, it pro-
vided Maria with an opportunity
to work toward her master's degree
She completed work for 23
credits in the Canal Zone-still
working full time-and then took
a 12-week leave of absence to
complete her graduate work on
campus.
She received her master's de-
gree in education in March 1975
with a major in elementary educa-
tion and a minor in curriculum
which qualified her to teach at
elementary and secondary levels.
After completing her education,
Maria continued to teach at the
elementary school in Rainbow City
for part of the year and then was
transferred to Cristobal High


School where she taught first,
second and third level Spanish
during the 1975-76 school year.
This year she will teach Span-
ish in grades 1 through 6 at the
Fort Gulick Elementary School.
Maria considers her membership
in the Canal Zone Chapter of the
International Reading Association
her most important extracurricular
activity.
Maria, and her husband, Canal
Zone Police Officer Calvin R.
Aldridge, live in Margarita with
their four sons: Patrick, 16; Mark,
15; Ray, 6; and Brian, 2'/. Patrick
and Mark are students at Cristobal
High School and Ray attends Mar-
garita Elementary School.
A wife, mother and teacher has
little time for hobbies, but Maria
manages to make the time to care
for her ever-increasing collection
of African violets and to do the
cooking and baking she enjoys so
much. Her speciality is Chinese
cooking and she haunts the market
searching for exotic ingredients for
Yen Wo, the Chinese soup she
prepares for special occasions.


A letter from President Gerald R. Ford arrived last week commending
well-known local sculptor, Rudy Burda, for his Bicentennial gift which
the President called a "special part in America's national celebration."
Burda cut, bent and welded Panama Railroad spikes into "The Spirit
of '76" and personalized it with two citizen soldiers-one carrying
a rifle and the other an American flag. The art work was then set on a
metal plate, mounted on a piece of native mahogany, and the plate
engraved. Burda and his unique version of one of America's most
famous patriotic symbols are shown during a show at Stevens Circle.
Isthmian residents who visit Washington, D.C. this year can see it on
display with other Bicentennial gifts in the Great Hall of the Com-
merce Building on E Street, between 14th and 15th streets. Burda, a
former optician at the Balboa Optical Shop, retired in January and
makes his home in Panama.

ments and two containing six
apartments.

Two newly promoted Fire Division officers receive the insignia of their
new ranks. At left, Fire Division Chief Frank Berry pins a lieutenant's
badge on Arthur Evans while Mrs. Ronald M. Guilliams pins a captain's
badge on her husband. At the time of their promotions, Evans was
named station commander at Fort Sherman Fire Station and Guilliams
station commander at the Mount Hope Fire Station.


Williamson Place was selected
for the new quarters for two
reasons. The present 12-family
apartments are the most substand-
ard buildings in the Canal Zone
and their demolition will provide
a low development cost area for
the new construction.
Plans and specifications for the
work, which includes the removal
of existing wood-framed 12-family
apartments, were issued on Au-
gust 9. They may be picked up
together with bid forms at the En-
gineering Division, Balboa Heights.
The design for the new quar-
ters was executive by the Canal
organization's Engineering Divi-
sion.

El asunto de las tarifas de las
escuelas de la Zona del Canal ha
sido tema de muchas preguntas,
que aparentemente necesitan ser
aclaradas.
En un articulo del SPILLWAY del
16 de julio se anunciaba un au-
mento en las tarifas durante el
period escolar 1976-77 y un cam-
bio important con respect al pa-
trocinio de estudiantes en la Uni-
versidad de la Zona del Canal.
Un segundo articulo, publicado
la semana pasada, sefialaba que el
cambio en la political de patroci-
nio para la universidad que habria
de entrar en vigor a principios del
period de otofio, habia sido pos-
puesto hasta el pr6ximo semestre.
Se sefial6 que fue aplazado con
el objeto de permitir mis tiempo
a otras dependencias del gobierno
para examiner alternatives en be-
neficio de estudiantes afectados
por el cambio en el patrocinio de
la universidad, incluyendo la po-
sibilidad de obtener autoridad y
fondos para patrocinar a dichos
estudiantes. El aplazamiento no
afecta el aumento en las tarifas
para estudiantes, patrocinados o
no.
Bajo la ley, se require a la em-
presa ser autosuficiente y obtener
el reembolso total de los servicios
que suministra a empleados y de-
pendientes de otras dependencias
gubernamentales de Estados Uni-
dos, incluyendo la educaci6n. En
el caso de la Universidad de la

Preguntas y Respuestas


Referentes a Matricula


pendencias de los Estados Unidos
haci6ndolos acreedores a la tarifa
patrocinada sin considerar si las
dependencias reembolsaran o no
el cost. Estas dependencias en la
actualidad patrocinan solamente a
los dependientes solteros menores
de 21 afios en studios de tiempo
complete en la universidad. Como
resultado, la empresa del Canal
por alg6n tiempo ha estado absor-
biendo la diferencia entire el cost
real de la educaci6n en la univer-
sidad y la tarifa baja que pagan
todos los demas estudiantes afilia-
dos a dichas dependencias, inclu-
yendo estudiantes de tiempo par-
cial. No existe autoridad que per-
mita la continuaci6n de dicha
prActica.

A continuaci6n, algunas pregun-
tas y respuestas encaminadas a ex-
plicar la political de las tarifas
escolares:

P. dQub es una tarifa patroci-
nada?
R. Es aquella en que la entidad
en que trabaja el empleado paga
la diferencia entire el cost real
de la educaci6n en la universidad
y la tarifa baja cargada al estu-
diante. Por ejemplo, la tarifa pa-
trocinada en la Universidad de
la Zona del Canal el pr6ximo otofio
sera de $220 por semestre para es-
tudiantes de tiempo complete y
$18 por hora de cr6dito para los
de tiempo parcial.

P. dQu6 es una tarifa no patro-
cinada?
R. Es el precio complete de la
matricula para un individuo que
no recibe el patrocinio econ6mico
de la dependencia gubernamental
de EE. UU. en que trabaja. Las
tarifas no patrocinadas de la Uni-
versidad de la Zona del Canal este
otofio seran de $1,050 por semes-
tre para estudiantes de tiempo
complete y $65 por hora de cr6-
dito para los de tiempo parcial.

P. 8Qu6 estudiantes reciben pa-
trocinio de las distintas depen-
dencias?
R. En la actualidad, el Canal
proporcionan patrocinio a todos
sus empleados de ciudadania nor-
teamericana, c6nyuges y depen-
dientes y aquellos empleados no
norteamericanos que resident en la
Zona del Canal y estudian tiempo
complete y tiempo parcial en la
universidad. El Departamento de
Defense, Departamento de Estado,
FAA, Instituci6n Smithsonian y
otras dependencias del Gobierno
de EE. UU. patrocinan s6lo a los
dependientes de sus empleados
norteamericanos cuando son solte-
ros y menores de 21 afios de edad
y estudian tiempo complete.

P. dConstituye el program de
ayuda o el de reembolso de la ma-
tricula de una dependencia guber-
namental de los Estados Unidc
patrocinio financiero al matricular-
se en la Universidad de la Zona
del Canal?
R. No. Los programs de ayuda
o de reembolso tienen por objeto
sufragar los costs del empleado
al obtener educaci6n adicional o
adiestramiento que le sea uitil en
su posici6n actual o future con la
dependencia en que trabaja. No
contempla el pago al Gobierno de
la Zona del Canal de la diferencia
entire el cost de proporcionar los
cursos de la Universidad de la
Zona del Canal y la tarifa pagada
por el estudiante.

P. Soy una esposa de un military
que s61o pag6 $15 el semestre pa-
sado por hora de credito en la
universidad y tendr6 que pagar
$18 el pr6ximo period. dCuanto
tendr6 que pagar durante el segun-
do period?
R. Si los militares de Estados
Unidos obtienen fondos y la auto-
ridad para patrocinarla, continua-
ra pagando $18. Si no, tendra que
pagar la tarifa no patrocinada que
es de $65 la hora de cr6dito.

El lunes sera el dia mas feliz
del afio para Maria Aldridge-el
primer dia de un nuevo afio es-
colar.
Con el saludo de "Buenos dias,
ninos", introducira el idioma espa-
iol a j6venes de habla inglesa.
En el transcurso de los meses,
cosechara los frutos que dan satis-
facci6n al maestro, el de ver re-
flejado en los ojos de los nifios el
entusiasmo cuando sibita e ines-
peradamente los sonidos extrafios
de una lengua extranjera empie-
zan a tener sentido.
Maria naci6 y curs6 su educa-
ci6n primaria en Told, Provincia
de Chiriqui. Se traslad6 a la ciu-
dad de PanamA a estudiar la se-
cundaria en el Liceo de Sefioritas.
En el tercer afio se hizo acreedora
a una beca en la Escuela Normal
de Santiago de Veraguas.
Tan pronto recibi6 su diploma
de maestra, se emple6 en la Divi-
si6n de Escuelas de la Zona del
Canal y se matricul6 en la Univer-
sidad de Panama. Despu6s de asis-
tir a classes nocturnas en la Uni-
versidad en verano durante 5 afios,
recibi6 su licenciatura en educa-
ci6n en 1962.
A la vez que estudiaba daba
classes de tiempo complete en la
Escuela Primaria de Rainbow Cit,
v viajaba todas las tardes desde
el sector Atlantico para asistir a
classes.

Maria Aldridge


Cuando la Universidad de Penn-
sylvania estableci6 un program
de extension en la Zona del Canal,
Maria tuvo la oportunidad de ob-
tener su maestria.
Complete 23 cr6ditos en la Zona
del Canal-trabajando tiempo com-
pleto-y luego pidi6 una licencia
de 12 semanas para terminar su
trabajo de postgraduado en la
misma universidad.
Recibi6 su Maestria en Educa-
ci6n con especializaci6n en educa-
ci6n primaria en 1975, titulo que
la califica para dar classes en las
escuelas primaries y secundarias.
Despuds de completar su edu-
caci6n, Maria continue dando cla-
ses en la Escuela Primaria de Rain-
bow City durante casi un afio y
luego fue transferida a la Escuela
Secundaria de Crist6bal donde en-
sefi6 espafiol de primer, segundo y
tercer nivel durante el afio escolar
1975-76.
Este afio ensefiara espafiol del


primero a sexto grados en la Es-
cuela Primaria de Fuerte Gulick.
Maria consider que su trabajo
en el Capitulo de la Zona del
Canal de la Asociaci6n Internacio-
nal de Lectura es una de sus acti-
vidades mis importantes.
Maria y su esposo, el agent de
policia de la Zona del Canal Calvin
R. Aldridge, resident en Margarita
con sus cuatro hijos: Patrick, de 16
afios; Mark, de 15; Ray, de 6; y
Brian, de 2�. Patrick y Mark son
estudiantes de la Escuela Secun-
daria de Crist6bal y Ray asiste a
la Escuela Primaria de Margarita.
Siendo esposa, madre y maestra
le deja poco tiempo libre, pero
Maria se las arregla para cuidar
su colecci6n de violetas africanas
y cocinar. Su especialidad es la
cocina china y pasa much tiempo
en los mercados buscando ingre-
dientes ex6ticos para confeccionar
el Nido de Golondrina, la sopa
china que prepare en ocasiones
especiales.

PLANTS - APARTAMENTOS DUPLEX DE 2 RECAMARAS


Sept. 22 Inician 2a Fase de Obra

En Viviendas de Williamson Place


La segunda fase del proyecto de
remodelaci6n de Williamson Place
empezara el 22 de septiembre con
las licitaciones publicas para la
construcci6n de 24 unidades de
vivienda.
El proyecto require cinco nue-
vos edificios-3 de cuatro aparta-
mentos y 2 de seis apartamentos.
Los apartamentos de ambos ti-
pos de edificio serAn id6nticos, de
dos pisos con dos recAmaras y
11/2 baios.
El patio cubierto y los garajes
estarAn separados por areas para
dep6sitos.
Ya empez6 el trabajo de demo-
lici6n en la ubicaci6n de William-
son Place donde la primera fase
del proyecto consistira en la cons-
trucci6n de 34 unidades de vivien-
da. El contrato se adjudic6 a
Hammer Corp.


Williamson Place fue selecciona-
do para la construcci6n de las nue-
vas viviendas por dos razones. Los
apartamentos de 12 families que
existen en la actualidad son edifi-
cios de calidad inferior a las exi-
gencias normales en la Zona del
Canal y su demolici6n desaloja
un area propicia para la construc-
ci6n de las nuevas unidades a un
costo minimo.
Los planes y especificaciones del
trabajo, que incluyen la elimina-
ci6n de apartamentos de madera
de 12 families actualmente en exi *-
tencia, fueron expedidos el 9 de
agosto. Pueden obtenerse junto con
los formularios de licitaci6n en la
Division de Ingenieria en Balboa
Heights.
El disefio de las nuevas vivien-
das fue confeccionado por la Di-
visi6n de Ingenieria de la empro'
sa del Canal.
