It's part of a novel program offered by the Graduate School of Social Work to encourage students to conduct research, in part, with the lure of "seeing their names in principal function as that of a role model who delights in success and understands failure. "The program is designed to offer students an opportunity to have the positively reinforcing experience of having something of their own published." They really get excited when they see their name in print, she says. Of course, the students also have to learn e to deal with the bane of writers the rejection slip. "Some papers have to be submitted more than once before eventual acceptance," Kane says. One apparent result of the program, she points out. "is greater interest among students in research." Kane notes that writing for publication while still in school is a "demystifying process." Students learn that research is possible even with limited time and money, and that they can aspire to produce articles which will withstand critical appraisal. usually fr 1 1 d free-lanc- print." 1 1 University professor, who sees her free-lanc- Guided by a professor who doubles as an "editor," the graduate students fulfill master's degree requirements including writing a thesis when manuscripts they've written about there original research are published by professional journals. "We have found this approach to be lots of fun for our students as well as lots of work," says Dr. Rosalie A. Kane, an associate professor who developed the optional program two ears ago.

In a letter to President Gardner, Haig lauded the U programs fro achieving "a very high degree of success and prestige in the relatively short-livejeriod of their existence.

His academic - d U iIm-vctag- e ASUU compensation The Associated Students of the University of Utah (ASUU) Assembly passed a bill on July 21 uhich increased compensation for all ASUU officers effective with the tuition increase fall quarter to $196.50. The bill provides that the amount of tuition reimbursement given to the members of the assembly and the cabinet at the end of each quarter will be adjusted each fall to reflect the fall quarter tuition rate. The amount is to be determined on the basis e of undergraduate fees. tuition and Previously, compensation has been a fixed amount established in 1970 when it was instituted. These figures were bised on the tuition at that time which was $160.

Under this plan, the president and vice president will receive compensation equal to full tuition, fees and one fourth tuition for books.

Goddard said that many of those who opjxsed the bill were concerned about what it would do to the assembly's image. He said that the students don't see all the things ASUU does for them, and will think that all they do is give themselves raises. 221 South 1300 East e 1 co-spons- or DRIVE master's degree from Georgetown University.

Dr. William Partridge, vice president for research, says the University remained a national research leader by attracting 510,501,828 in federal money during the period ending June 30. He says the figure fell slightly below last year's total of $41.2 million because the federal government's fiscal year now ends on September 30 three months later than the University's. Many projects normally approved during June will be funded too late this year for inclusion in the fiscal 1977 total, according to Partridge. He says the University experienced rapid gains in energy research funding during the past fiscal year and the trend should continue because of the school's growing national reputation in the geothermal and th government. More than $2 million of the S12 million currently alienated by the National Institutes of Health for research in pharmacy colleges has been awarded to the Utah researchers to support 29 projec ts. During the past year, the University became one of only four institutions in the nation to receive a $150,000 National Science Foundation grant to purchase a computer which the Computer Science Division w ill use in basic research. Partridge says research funds attracted by the University provide millions of dollars in direct salary support for faculty and staff and financial assistance for hundreds of graduate and undergraduate students.
