Activity Fee Changes by Tammy Arman trout As the result of a recent proposal by the Associated Students of Westminster College, students who plan to attend the school in the future may not pay the traditional activity fee. However they shouldnt make any plans to spend that money because the proposal wont abolish the fee merely rename it. According to Dave Goularte, ASWCs 1985-8president, the name Student Activity F ee, no longer represents the functions of ASWC. He feels the new name of Student Government Fee, would help emphasize the fact that AS W C does more for the students than sponsor dances. Goularte belives that in the future ASWC will take a more active role in political and student issues both on a state and national 6 level. In addition there will be more effort made by the student government to address the needs of students, including getting the students at the downtown campus more involved in student government, organizing activities for them to participate in and focusing more effort on issues which concern them. al Goularte stressed the fact that events traditionally sponsored by ASWC will not be eliminated and added that the fee may be raised by five dollars to help cover added costs.

Yearbook Arrives in May by Tammy Armantrout For the first time in at least five years students will be able to receive their copies of Etosian the Westminster College yearbook some time in May, according to Editor Kim Andrews. In the past the yearbook has been issued sometime in September said Andrews, who hopes that the earlier publication date will make the book more meaningful and interesting for students. .
