It highlights SUSCs composite degree, its programs, and the successes of its students, including the colleges forensics, theatre, and business programs.

The awards, one for each of SUSCs academic schools, have been established this school year to honor students not only for their academic success but for their participation in extra curricular activities as well. According to William Brad Bennett, SUSC director of student activities , the awards are presented by the ASSUSC Senate on the recommendations of deans and department heads from each of the respective schools. Recipients receive engraved plaques from their senate presenters. Outstanding Student Awards for fall quarter 1984 have been awarded to Mitch Connell from the school of arts and letters; Maria Josefina Navarette from the school of business, technology and communication; Susan Bond from the school of education; and Brigitte Wexler from the school of science.

Campaign rules are assessed by Senate The ASSUSC Senate Thursday set down a list of election largely to clarify campaign rules, and an information meeting on the will be held today at noon for possible candidates. The which will be added to the student constitution, clarify many of the election rules used in past years, said Senate President Steve Wright. Election committee officials will explain the to interested candidates at noon in the small ballroom. These rules arent strict as much as theyre clear and more solid, Wright said. s One change the senate made in the was to limit campaign spending to $1,000 for a party or $250 for an independent candidate. Wright noted that the limit was set because these can get out of hand. He added that $1,000 is not that much, when you divide it up among all the people in the party. Another change in the rules will require candidates only to fill out an application in which they agree to comply with the election and ASSUSC Constitution and e declare they are enrolled as students not on s, by-la- s, by-la- by-la- full-tim- academic or social probation. Previous applications required the candidate to state his or her reasons for running and past experience. We felt like, who are we to tell someone theyre not qualified to run for office, Wright said, and we felt like candidates would just put down what sounded good as reasons for running anyway. While the will yield to existing resident living and campus policies, candidates are prohibited from using the college PA system or KGSU radio, and they must hand all handbills directly to voters, not leave them under windshileds or on tables. s The also contain provisions for penalties against cand'dates who conduct unethical campaigns. If somebody used a really unethical campaign practice, then the elections committee ca)s recommend they never be allowed to hold an office, Wright said. Election officials this year will also pay closer attention to voters, who will be able to vote only with a student body card with a winter sticker' by-la- Students to vote on nuke free campus Swimmers use city pool Senate plans to put nuclear freeze zone bill on ballot by Ralph Schriock Limiting debate on the matter, the ASSUSC Senate agreed Wednesday to put a resolution making SUSC a nuclear free zone on the ballot in the Feb. 27 elections. The senate agreed, with Lana Houston abstaining, to put the resolution on the ballot only with after approval of its final wording, however. It also formed an ad hoc committee to organize an open forum debate on the issue before the election. Bill Honeck, who sponsored the resolution, urged the senate to look at this in terms of its content, in arguing for the bills approval. The resolutions author, Coordinator of Student Affairs Mitch Connell, asked the senators not to debate the matter because this isnt the correct forum for this to be discussed. Theres a great deal of student interest in this pro and con, Connell said, noting that he would seek signatures to have it put on the -ballot if the senate did not. Although the senate does plan to put the question before students as a resolution, it will not propose it as a constitutional amendment, which bill sponsors originally sought. The bill, which Honeck said is arguing against the philosophy of nuclear weapons, would direct the ASSUSC president communicate this colleges opposition to nuclear war to the leaders of the U.S. and Soviet Union. Connell explained to senators last week 'hat the intent of this bill is to get the students politically involved and politically aware of the issues of the day. Students taking swimming classes this quarter will have to finish out their classes at the city pool because repairs on SUSCs pool will keep it closed all quarter. Steve Lunt, athletic department chairman, said an arrangement was made with Cedar City and the local school district to use the city facilities on weekday and Saturday mornings. He noted that about 100 students need to finish their lifesaving, scuba diving, or beginning and intermediate swimming classes to maintain the 12 credits needed to be a e student. Those who can delay it a quarter, well give them a withdrawal, Lunt said, noting full-tim- that many of those who do need the credit would lose eligibility for scholarships, sports programs, or veterans benefits. Each of the kids in the classes needs to get with his or her instructors and arrange a time to meet at the city pool, he said. The city facility will be open to SUSC students from weekday mornings and on Saturday. The SUSC pool was closed and drained at the beginning of winter quarter and a large crack in the deep end was discovered. Much of the water problem was Tiot from the swimming pool, however, but from runoff water from the gym roof and from the campus, Lunt noted. |
