Show ]THE C:AMPUS~ Students sell contracts for upcoming quarters By DENISE NOLAN JOU RNAL STAFF WRITER As th e fall quarter comes to an end many students realize that they may need to move from SUV. Financial difficulties, roommate conflicts and marriage have students who are living in on- and off-campus housing trying to sell their housing contracts in order to leave SUV. Students who are living in the SUV residence halls of Juniper and Manzanita have a variety of options concerning their contracts. Students who drop out of school or decide to get married do not have sell their contract or pay a contract penalty fee. According to N euman Duncan, director of housing and resident life, "These students are released from their contracts when they show proof of dropping out of school or a marriage license or certificate." Students living in the residence halls who decide to move out for other reasons than leaving school or marriage must either sell their housing contract or pay a penalty fee. Duncan also said, "Students pay a contract fee when they can' t find someone to buy their contract. This fee is half rent for their time remaining on their contract." Juniper and Manzani ta residents sign their contract for one academic year, including fall, winter and spring quarters. The most a hall resident will usually have to pay is half rent for winter and spring quarters. Students living in offcampus housing do not have so many options when it comes being released from their contracts. In most cases students either sell their contract or pay rent for the remaining time left it. "I have had one person call since I put up my contract for sale about two weeks ago.

IGC leaders named The InterGreek Council (IGC) held its annual Awards Banquet last night, sponsored by the two fraternities and two sororities. T he highlight of the evening was the announcem ent of the new InterGreek Council officers for 1995. Monica Talbot, from Chi Sigma Upsilon, was named president and Terry Larsen, of Sigma Nu, vice president. In addition, Sigma Chi's Derrick Baca was elected Rush Chairperson and Bonnie Oates, from Phi Alpha Beta, will continue as secretary. Talbot said, "I'm really excited and I think next year will go really well." Athletic scholarships -at SUV and all NCAA schools-are based on skills and academic criteria. "Each coach recruits for his own sport and evaluates the skills of the individuals to determine whether they meet the needs of the team," said Kathryn Berg, SUV associate director of athletics. Berg said that at certain times throughout the year coaches look for future players who have the potential of strengthening the team. For example, one year a coach may look specifically for a center. The next year a point guard may be needed. Athletic scholarships are given to the athletes who can demonstrate a desired performance, Berg said. In addition to performance skills, there are NCAA academic criteria and institutional requirements that must be met before athletic scholarships are extended. Often, said Berg, high school coaches recommend athletes. When considering a student coming from high school, the coaches look at several areas, including core courses completed, ACT score, GPA and diploma. For students recruited from a junior college couches evaluate grade point average, number of credit hours taken and graduation. According to Berg, students who have not been recruited from a high school or a junior college can qualify for athletic scholarships. Students may choose to "walk-on." T he dollar amount of scholarships varies. An athletics scholarship may provide tuition or it may cover the cost of books.
