Show Coalition to inform studentsabout "non-psycho shrink" aspect of counseling BY KERI KING Staff writer of The Signposl The "Wellness Coalition" is approaching Health and Wellness Week (this week) with two thrusts. First, they want to inform students, faculty and the community about a "non-psycho shrink" aspect of counseling services. Second, they want to promote "the remarkable array of physical education programs and diverse faculty at Weber State," said Dr. Richard Southwick, one of the week's organizers. "This week is just a kick-off to what we plan to do in the future," Southwick said. One major goal of the Wellness Coalition is to reduce unnecessary suffering, illness, disability and premature death among faculty, staff and students. The coalition also aims to insure a safe and healthy environment. When applying the entire wellness concept, employers will find sick days will be lower and the turnover rate will drop, Southwick said. 'The concept is not original with us it's just something that is in the air now," he said. The purpose of the Wellhess Coalition is to help faculty, staff and students achieve their potential to live full, active lives. This includes health in the mental, physical and spiritual as- Job hunting pects of life, Southwick said. 'The intellectual, spiritual and physical aspects complete the health and wellness aspects of the body," he said. "It's a crime for people not to knowabout the facilities that Weber has," he said. Weber's Counseling Center and Human Resources began planning the week last April. They created the Wellness Coalition for the Weber State community. Activities for Health and Wellness Week include panel discussions, speakers, music, a "Meditation Walk,", Employee Benefits Day, and a health and sports fair. See today's and Wednesday's campus calendar for more details. WORK (continued from page 1) There are more work study jobs availableon campus than federal funding can cover, she said. Often students find campus jobs in areas where there is no money allocated; in such instances, departments must either pay students or hire students with federal work study funding. To help insure getting financial aid, Paras encourages students to meet priority deadlines. For the 1992-93 school year, the deadlines are: April 1 - first priority; May 1 - second priority; June 1 - third priority. Eligible students who have sent in the required paperwork in by the April 1 deadline arc guaranteed first priority on available monies. Students who apply by the second and third priority deadlines are guaranteed money only if the funds are still available. Paras explained work study jobs pay at least minimum wage. Departments can pay student employees more if they want. Usually pay raises are based on experience, responsibility, work load and training, Paras said. Got a hot news tip?
