The Cultural Exchange Program budget was frozen during the summer months by the council. The council felt that no money should be spent for this until the Ethnics Association could present a concrete plan for the exchange program. Another major change which affects students is the change in cost of Student Identification cards. These cards cost the student $1.50 last year, but that price more than covered the cost of making the cards. Dean of Students and staff soon moves to student union The Dean of Students and his department will be moving into the Union building from the Student Personnel building due to a decision by the Union Policy Board at its Sept. 18 meeting. The board was requested to allow Dean of Students Alan Dayley, Assistant Dean of Students Jan Tyler, the new Associate Dean of Students and their secretaries into the U.B. to make space in the Student Personnel building for the School of Continuing Education. Weber State College President Joseph L. Bishop told the policy board the Dean of Students and his staff needed a place where they would have more contact with the students. He said their present location in the Student personnel building is one of semi-isolation.Reach more students A need for informality, and the ability to reach more students was the reason to locate the staff in the U.B., according to Bishop.

The council also voted to sell spouse cards this year as had been done last year. "Issues '74" "Issues '74" was born this year to use the reserve fund from last year. The council found that after last year's budget had been completed, there was a reserve of $9,700, of which $2,500 was allocated for the administration-funded student groups reserve. The balance was. allocated for a week of special convocation speakers. The council decided to bring in special speakers for every day of the week they would call "Issues 74." This year's topic for "Issues" is the economy. Speakers are still in the James R. Foulger, Weber State College business vice president, told the board there was a financial advantage to allowing the Dean of Students to move into the U.B. According to Foulger, by 1975 the Union Building must be completely self-supporting, receiving no funds from the general college fund. Presently the U.B. receives $100,000 a year from the general fund. Fees and building rentals bring in $130,000 a year. Foulger said that if the administration can find some excuse to pay rent to the Union Building, it could increase the income of the U.B. He urged the board to let the. administration use the Union building facilities in order to justify the use of general funds to help pay U.B. expenses. 'Can of worms' Student Academic Vice President Brent Johns warned the board against letting the EST'S Registered JeWelsr American Gem Society 230 So. Main Salt Lake City process of being booked for this week. The student council battled with the Athletics Department over student admission to the first two football games. The athletics department wanted to charge all students for admission to the game, since the first two games were played before fall quarter and no one was officially a student yet. The council wanted for any student with a 1973 spring quarter I.D. to get in free to the games. After negotiation, the Athletics Department agreed to allow students with a '73 Spring quarter I.D. into the game free, provided the student show his I.D. at the gate and state that he would be a student fall quarter. Dean of Students move into the Union Building. "I'm afraid we're opening a can of worms by letting the administration move in," Johns stated, "and the building will cease to function as a union." Johns said he is afraid more offices will be moved into the building. Moving the deans in would be the first step to the administration taking over the Union Building, stated Johns. Mike Stever, student activities vice president, and Union Director Joseph F. Shepherd both expressed belief that the Union Policy Board could always remove the administration from the Union Building. Established precedence Student Financial Vice President Ron Ray said a precedence has already been established for kicking people out of the Union any time the space was needed for something else. The board finally, passed a motion allowing the Dean of Students and his staff to be moved into the Union Building with the stipulation that the board may vote to reconsider the action at any time. A committee was established to study present available space and make a recommendation to the board as to the specific location of the Dean of Student's staff in the student Union. Dean Dayley stated that he is happy to move into the Union Building if that's where the students want to have his office located. Ombudsman space The Union Policy Board also voted to give the Ombudsman a larger office. A committee was established to study the space and make a recommendation as to where the new Ombudsman office should be located. The board denied a request from the Associated Women Students for a desk in the Union. No AWS representative was present at the meeting to tell the board why AWS wanted the space. The Union Policy Board selected a committee to study the proposed food price raise. (See page 8 for story on new approved food prices. ) |
