Jfolovidh Fills Sluoes Brown by Cheryl On November 26 Floyd George officially stepped out of his shoes. The shoes were well worn and maybe a little tight for him, but as Sondra Jolovich steps into them shell carry on his work and have room to grow. Jolovich is the new AS WC Treasurer replac-- i n g George who resigned because of h is job and College Forms Band by Karen Holmes As part of the school's plan to reinstitute a music program at Westminster, Dr. Charles Dick, president of the College and Robert L.

Jolovich is a junior majoring who has come to Westin chemistrypre-me- d minster this year from West Virginia University. e student who applied Jolovich is a for the job as treasurer because she wanted to get involved in Westminster. I enjoyed Westminster from the start, she said. The professors and faculty put a lot of effort and support into the school. Id like to do my part to add to the effort and support of keeping Westminster a great school. Jolovich worked as a bookkeeper and accountant for the McDonalds corporation last year. She feels this job gave her the experience that is necessary to be the ASWC Treasurer. She says she enjoys working with figures and she has the knowledge needed to work with computers. The ASWC office has a new computer which they hope to use to incorporate budgets and financial plans with. The job of ASWC Treasurer requires working closely with the executive branch to make up budgets and to send out requests for money to Westminsters clubs, according to Jolovich. The treasurer is in charge of all requests for money and must account for all money allotted to the clubs, she said. As Jolovich starts her new job she plans to first catch up on the paper work that has fallen behind. She plans to see that all budget reports and financial statements are in on time, and that money is used appropriately. "Id like to keep everyone aware of where the money is being used and see that it is used to benefit the students Gf Westminster, she said. As for making any changes in the ASWC Treasury, Jolovich feels that for now things will continue to be run as in the past George will be working with Jolovich for a short time in order to show her where Westminsters treasury is at this point. Floyd has done an excellent job as the ASWC Treasurer," she said. That will make my job easier and make it an easy transition once he shows me the ropes. Jolovich also added, I would like to thank the students for trusting me in this position and I will try to live up to the expectations. full-tim- Brockmyer says that the holiday season brings an expected crime wave, as has been the case in the five years hes been at Westminster. This wave usually includes vending machines broken into, cars burgled and radios and tape decks stolen. He states, They got an early start this year. The attacks on the campus buildings were vandalism, and as such were not reported to the police while the robbery of the bookstore, which is rented to Follettswas reported. In the Foster Hall break-in- , many doors were tried but only Dr. Ray Ownbeys office was successfully broken into. Access to the office was made through the transom above the door but theres no evidence that any one was even in here, said Dr. Ownbey when asked if anything had been damaged or stolen. Bryan Larson, Security Chief, believes that Utah college students are in full support of a bill to give approximately one million dollars in state support for Westminster College of Salt Lake City. Thus reports David Goularte, Westminster student body president and a delegate to the Utah Intercollegiate Assembly (U.I.A.). The U.I.A. is a mock legislature where representatives from every college and university in Utah meet and experience government in action. The 1985 U.I.A. was convened November 13 through November 16. Because Westminster is a school with a relatively small student body, only four delegates were sent: Goularte, who is from Gridley, CA; Kathy Schultz, Ogden, UT; Donna Newsome, Olympia, WA; and Patti Litchfield, Santa Barbara, CA. Kim Andrews, also from Olympia, accompanied the delegates for staff support. Even though we were the smallest delegation, we seemed to earn the respect of the other delegates, said Goularte. session, bills were lobDuring the three-da- y bied for and voted upon. The top fives bills, as determined by the Utah Council of Student Body Presidents, will go before the Utah State Legislature to be lobbied during its January session. Among the numerous bills discussed during the U.I.A. meeting were the quarter vs. semester system, the fifth year accountancy law, and a tuition hike for College library improvement. The bill requesting state aid for Westminster will be made during the January general session, according to Westminster President Dr. Charles Dick. Goularte says that since the bill passed in the U.I.A. with a consensus, U.I.A. Governor Patricia Simmons of Utah more offices could have sustained damage if not for the fact that good deadbolt locks were installed as part of a preventative maintenance program. However, the studio on the top floor of Foster did sustain damage. Otto Max Zingler, groundskeeper, had some artwork stored in the studio that was demolished. He was in the process of moving his art- work elsewhere, but waited too long," he said. He had two large glass sculptures and four glass windows smashed. Although not insured, he plans to rebuild the sculptures. He puts his financial loss at about $1000 to $1200. He couldnt see any evidence of break-i- n around the door to the studio, which is usually padlocked, and didnt know if the door had been locked prior to the incident. Zingler also stated that he had some canvases in the studio, but they must have missed being seen by the perpetrators. Access to Foster was believed to have been through a ground level window, the screens having been removed on some of the windows in response to some professors concern about exits in case of fire, according to Zingler.
