Attn: All residential owners The general misconception is that a building permit is required only if you are building a new home or undertaking a major construction, like the addition of another story to your home. However, building permits are equally critical for domestic remodeling. Home-improvement projects that require alterations to an existing structure may also require a permit. Any person applying for a permit to construct a facility or renovate a house must submit the following to the municipal office at least two weeks before the proposed start of construction: 1. Completed application form. 2. Erosion control plan(if the project will result in disturbing the ground due to use of mechanical equipment). 3. Four copies each of the site, architectural, and structural plans of the areas affected by such work. 4. Please indicate your proposed building schedule and the name of your building contractor. Construction work begun before a permit is granted will be subjected to stoppage and outright demolition at cost to the owner. After your application is approved, your building contractor will be issued a permit, which must be posted at the work site throughout the period of construction. Inspector Lyle Barns Rockhampton City Building Inspector

Notice from the University

The university has decided to carry out a new housing fee system next semester. For the past several years, housing fees have remained the same for all students, but since different students have different demands and the new apartment building has been completed, it is necessary to divide several grades of housing fees.

The students who would like to live in the old dormitory building will pay the same fee as before, that is $800 per year; those who prefer moving to the new apartment building will pay approximately 50 percent more, that is about $1200. This new fee system will take effect from next semester. More information is available on the campus website.

In spite of "endless talk of difference", American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. There is "the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness and absence of consumption" launched by the 19th century department stores that offered "vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere". Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite, these were stores "anyone could enter, regardless of class or background. This turned shopping into a public and democratic act". The mass media, advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization.

Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. Writing for the National Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reports that today's immigration is neither at unprecedented level nor resistant to assimilation. In 1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of population;in 1900,13.6 percent. In the 10 years prior to 1990,3. I immigrants arrived for every 1,000 residents; in the 10years prior to 1890,9. 2 for every 1,000. Now, consider three indices of assimilation--language, home ownership and intermarriage.

The 1990 Census revealed that "a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen most common countries of origin spoke English ' well' or ' very well' after ten years of residence". The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. "By the third generation, the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families. "Hence the description of America as a "graveyard" for languages. By 1996 foreign-born immigrants who had arrived before 1970 had a home ownership rate of 75.6 percent, higher than the 69.8 percent rate among native-born Americans.

Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics "have higher rates of intermarriage than do U. S-born whites and blacks". By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to non-Asians.

Rodriguez note that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet "some Americans fear that immigrant living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation's assimilative power".

Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America? Indeed. It is big enough to have a bit of everything. But particularly when viewed against America's turbulent past, today's social induces suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment.
