Views expressed do no! necessarily reflect the views of The College Times or U V S C News writer Most people have heard of Rotary Clubs, but fewer have heard of the Rotaract Club, an officially sponsored and endorsed branch of Rotary International. Chantel Kaiser, the community service chairperson of UVSC Rotaract, said, "We maintain the same standards, traditions and practices that take place in Rotary Clubs." Recently, the UVSC branch finished a large project that raised money for orphans in Ecuador. The funds raised were dispersed through Orphanage Support Services and went toward items like diapers, blankets and clothing. Kaiser also revealed that the club is currently working toward sending members of the UVSC Rotaract to Zambia, Africa to help with building orphanages there. Like regular Rotary Clubs, Rotaract requires a $10 monthly membership fee. The fee goes to various costs incurred either directly by the club, such as food at meetings COM; First isiue hfree, rach additional SI CITIZENSHIP from Al citizen responsibilities. Also, U.S. geography is a newly added subject that is not on the current test. Veronica Lopez, a senior at UVSC, is planning to take the naturalization test within the next two years. She moved to the United States from Peru about 10 years ago. "I have no complaints about changing the questions," Lopez said, "because you still have to study, and you still have to know the history." Many of the new questions are similar to the current questions; they are just asked differently. For example, the current test poses this question: 'What were the original 13 states?' The new test is worded this way: 'There were 13 original states. Name three.' Some questions were thrown out, such as 'Who helped the pilgrims in America?' and 'Who wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner?'" New questions were Students! added, such as 'What is freedom of religion?' and'What did Susan B. Anthony do?' Lopez thinks that the new test will affect the older people. "For me, I think it will be reaily easy just because I know the language, and I know the history; but for my parents, I think they will have a hard, tough time," Lopez said. "I am afraid for my parents and the older people who have a harder time than others." The new naturalization test will not be offered until Oct. 1, 2008. This gives citizen applicants a year to prepare for the new test. The naturalization test is part of the civics exam in becoming a citizen. In the oral examination, the applicant is asked 10 questions from the list of 100 and has to correctly answer six in order to pass.
