Show THE THUNDERBIRD APRIL 20, 1987 MONDAY FACE 3 Senate scrutinizes funds BY KRIS and Letters Sen. Michael Bahr said the Broadcasters Club must get along on $600. Arts JOHNSON "The Senate is going to deeply investigate all of the funds that are allocated to clubs and organizations to ensure that the money received from student fees is being spent wisely," said K.C. Jones, ASSUSC academic vice president, in Wednesday's Senate meeting. A bill allocated $600 to the newly formed Broadcasters Club, which had asked for $700, but after a long debate, the Senate unanimously agreed the club needed only $600. "We understand that because of recent budget cuts money is t'ght and cannot be frivolously alotted. It is for th is reason (hat we have streamlined our needs," said Christine Camp, Broadcasters Club president. "With the purchase of tapes and microphones we should be able to apply our trade for the raising of our funds, thus producing a return on your investment." Following the meeting, Jores emphasized that the Senate would also like to work on improving the personal studentfaculty relationships that SUSC is well known for throughout the state. "With the increase in student enrollment, the one on one contact that SUSC professors have had with students in the past has decreased, we would like to restrenghthen that bond. It is our goal to improve this campus as a whole," he said. The redistribution of money to accommodate a shortfall in the allocation of funds for the ASSUSC budget was discussed at Tuesday's Executive Council meeting. The Stai light Club was among those activities hardest hit, losing some $1,000. "Our projections for this year came up short and as a result of this, we had to do some severe budget cutting," said Kent Gordon, ASSUSC financial controller. Students can benefit from special counseling courses BY GREG PRINCE The SUSCCounseling Center has begun a series of free workshops to help students prepare themselves for continuing in school and making it in the work place. "Our main objective is to help students in areas in which they need improvment, helping them in their overall success. An additional, less direct goal is to help inform students about the Counseling Center so they can take advantage of its services," said Jeff Sheffield, SUSC counselor. The first series is called the college survival series, which will assist students in developing skills in their weak areas. The workshops cover g topics such as listening and in class, textbook tactics, preparing for exams, taking exams, and just in time for finals, "Dealing with the Test Anxiety Bug." Another series, the personal development series, will cover selfmanagement techniques. The first class will address effective time management for students, focusing on how students should plan their schedules to allow for dates, adequate study time, and other activities. "The assertiveness workshop is geared toward helping students take more responsibility for themselves and make choices for themselves instead of having other people decide for them," said Sheffield. For those having trouble note-takin- with anxiety and stress, a stress managment course will be offered which will introduce relaxation techniques, guided imagery, and various biofeedback techniques. The career development series is designed primarily for students who have not selected or are thinking of changing their major and career objectives, said Sheffield. Classes will deal with choosing a major and choosing a career, with a special class, "Guys, Girls, and Careers," which examines the advantages of women finishing their education and being qualified for the workplace. The education and skills of women are becoming increasingly important, said Sheffield, noting that 90 percent of SUSC MASQUE CLUB Non-tradition- al scholarships are offered Utah families living below the poverty level are headed by single women. "Even if only two or three students come to the sessions, I'll feel it is worth it. Students can learn many valuable things if they come," said Sheffield. Although no limits have been placed on attendance, the groups are expected to be small enough to allow ample time for personal interaction between students and instructors, increasing the quality of personal help available. The workshops, are being conducted in the Counseling Center, located on the first floor of the Administration building.
