Sometimes we overlook opportunities to let just how well they are doing. Two years ago it was determined to change Program to Focus for the Interior Design and Textiles portion of Family and Consumer them know Science. During the last two years, it seems that in this Focus has grown, and we have the largest group of students completing the designated courses for this Focus than in the recent past. We provide Departmental Awards of Completion and are happy to see these students achieve their goals and move on to further schooling, into the job market or other personal life directions. A few years ago, Family and Consumer Science was divided into three areas IDT, NFW, and FCS. The decision has recently been made to put things back together. Students will Find courses in IDT, Interior Design, and Fashion Sewing now listed under the FCS heading in the schedule for Fall 2002 classes and in the new Dixie State interest College Catalog. Although some courses may not be available, the main list of courses for interior design has not changed appreciably as the courses in business, drafting, and art remain the same, along with the FCS basic design courses. Structural changes may change process, but not necessarily progress or opportunity. Students interested in a future in interior design and fashion can visit with Dr. Sandacross-discipli- berg. Just so you know the kinds of things that have been going on in Interior Design, those students have accomplished a great deal. For example, last spring semester the Design Project the students took on was to change the womens bathroom in the south hall of the Family and Consumer Science Building from a dark blue, noisy, dim and place to a light and bright, comfortable place to use. Those students gained experience in refurbishing furniture, planning desirable change, designing artwork, selecting colors and lighting, arranging space for function, and applying paint. The custodial staff contributed by removing and transporting the heavy stall dividers to the Auto Body Paint Lab where Jim Jensen and his students (for brownies, bless their hearts) graciously painted the metal panels, after which the custodial staff brought them back to the FCS Building and reinstalled them. The electrical staff put the fan and the lighting on separate switches (peace and quiet at last) and installed a new light. Wow! What a difference! Thanks and recognition are long past due for those who assisted in making the needed space into a user friendly and pleasant environment. Thanks to all for each one of their ideas, their hours, and their accomplishments. This year, students have worked with historic furnishings and time period'. They have planned (measured and made bids) for furnishings for an entire home, complete with schedules, sources, and costs. They have designed space and presented renderings and ideas to two separate outside clients. They are currently working on FCS office space arrangement in preparation for the program and staff shifting that will take place soon on the Dixie State College campus. Come on Wednesday, April 17, from 2:15 to 4:00 p.m. to see some of their work. Also on April 17 at 2:15 p.m., in Room 113 of the Family and Consumer Science Building, you will be able to see displays of students Interior Design work and observe a Fashion Show of work by sewing students in beginning, intermediate, and directed lab courses. Take advantage of this opportunity. The Fashion Show is at 2:15 p.m. Yale to fund aid students whove been busted for drugs. Associated Press NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) Skirting a federal policy, Yale University will become the fourth college in the country to reimburse students who lose financial aid because of convictions for drug possession. Yale joins Hampshire College and Swarthmore College in adopting such a policy in response to the federal "Drug-Fre- e Student Aid" law. Western Washington University gives a scholarship of $750 to those who lose aid. The Ivy League university will not reimburse students convicted of drug offenses other than possession. The Hartford Courant newspaper reported Tuesday. The law prohibits students convicted of drug offenses from receiving federal financial aid. Students lose their aid temporarily or permanently, depending on the severity and number of offenses. "It comes from a desire that Yale students not have their education interrupted because they could no longer afford school," Yale spokesman Tom Conroy said. officers said university Conroy approved the change and told students of it last week. The law has been in effect since 1998, but only since President Bush has been in office has it been enforced. By early March, I about 47,000 of the 10.5 million federal aid applicants for the school year faced possible denial of aid because of the law, according to the U.S. Education Department. Yale administrators say no Yale student is in that group. Groups that support Yale's decision call it a powerful statement that will spur momentum for their cause. "This sends a message loud and clear not just to the education community, but also to the lawmaking community," said Darrell Rogers, the national outreach coordinator for Students for Sensible Drug Policy. Under the federal rules, those with one offense are ineligible for federal college aid for one year after convicor fir st drug-sal- e tion. A second conviction means ineligibility for two years. More convictions bar aid indefinitely, unless the offender undergoes drug rehabilitation. Police report April 9, a women's CTR ring was found and turned in. April 11, a student reported a laptop computer was taken from his apartment. was arrested for April 13, a nt possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia and obstruction of justice.
