Show Nov. 23, 1976 Signpost Page 3 Dorms change policy by Kathy Connolly Promontory Tower dormitory has recently given birth to the "Roving Resident Assistant" system. Many dorm residents feel the new routine is threatening but according to Director of Housing, Monte Shupe, "We don't want the R.A.'s to act as policemen because our main concern isn't to regulate students' lives." The plan is designed for R.A.'s on each floor to alternate weekend shifts in which they will try to prevent problems in progress or before they start. Promontory's Head Resident, Dave Vander Linden, has studied 10 other colleges that practice the method in which it is a success. According to Vander Linden, Executive council by Bob Alzugarat Bills dealing with student government finances and the International Students banquet were the major items of legislation ratified at Thursday's meeting of the Executive Council. Bill 76-68 was approved calling for $85 to be allocated for an ASWSC representative to attend a workshop dealing with various aspects, of student government finances, to be held Dec. 2 and 3 in St. George. All the universities and colleges in the state have been invited to attend, according to Murray Olson, ASWSC Finan-cial vice-president. The bill states, "This workshop could be valuable in creating-better control of ASWSC funds and in improving the success of all ASWSC functions." Bill 76-69 was passed last Thursday with a very important amendment. Originally it called for a student loan of $500 to the International Student Organization for their traditional banquet on Feb. 5, 1977. Robb Alexander, public relations vice president, amended the bill, with the approval of the Council, so that the $500 will be frozen until, as the bill now states, the ISO shows "viable and exact use of the $500." Thursday's meeting also included the introduction of two bills. Bill 76-70 recommended five students for appointment to the Union Building Policy Board. They are Mark Ballif, Keith LaPlant, Steve Lucero, Kent Anderson and Jamshid. Voting on acceptance of the names will take place at the next meeting. Bill 76-71 would allocate $70 to send ASWSC president Jeff Flamm and Kelly McFarland, a student on the athletic committee, to the Big Sky Athletic Conference in Boise, Idaho, Nov. 28, 29 and 30. Flamm felt student input into the Big Sky Conference is extremely important. Student body officers from the other conference schools will be also there. Weber has "by far the most liberal" dorm policies. The University of Wyoming, for example, has daily, 24 hour strict patrolling by R.A.'s. Vander Linden views the system as "an attempt to try and provide as wholesome and academic environment as possible." The plan will increase student security and cut the alcoholic consumption down within the dorm. Mr. Vander Linden feels that half the R.A.'s believe the system to be a waste of time and the other half feel there is a need. Resident Assistant, Steve Odenthal, wasn't too enthused about "Roving R.A.'s" in the beginning but after experiencing a shift decided that "it's really not designed specifically to CATCH people." However, R.A., John Huisch, said, "Many people I've talked to don't like it because they don't want to see it come to their dorm." Carrie Stayner, girl's R.A. on the Tower's 10th floor, said her girls have expressed no extremes about the plan. Ms. Stayner is waiting to see its progression before forming any definite opinions however, she did feel negatively toward it in the beginning. Promontory is the only dorm so far, at Weber, that is trying the plan. Mr. Vander Linden would like to see it throughout the system. v fU ifjp- 'u -Alt MEMBERS of the KWCR staff are, from right to left, Bob Alzugarat, Bev Bingham, Randy Harper, Steve Papazaharis, Robbie De Roy, and Donna Petersen.

The good news: Lazare Kaplan cuts a diamond (see A) with 58 tiny facets each in precise symmetrical relation to one another thereby bringing out its maximum fire and brilliance. This rule is applied as faithfully to the smallest Lazare Kaplan diamond as to a multi-carat gem. It's a major reason why our Lazare Kaplan-cut diamonds are more beautiful and more desirable than all others. The bad news: The other way to cut a diamond is to compromise these ideal proportions in favor of producing a larger stone (see B). This way, brilliance is sacrificed for size. Come see our Lazare Kaplan-cut diamonds. From $100 to many thousands. 's IN THt |
