In addition to providing the scoreboards, Pepsi gave the college the sandwich cooler in the Opus Game Room and a concession trailer, both on a permanent loan basis after the contract was established. Hanline said the board for the stadium was needed because the old one was a football scoreboard that was missing a motor. Scoreboards for the gym are now on campus and should be installed by the end of October. It will probably be in the best interests of the college and the cola companies to have a single vendor on campus at one time," said Hanline. Some students disagree. I think that they should be sold together, said Mike Pieper, senior. One freshman said, I think they should only sell Coke, or Coke and Pepsi, but not just Pepsi. a five-yePepsi donated scoreboards for Hansen Stadium (aboi'e) and, also, for Payne Gymnasium this spring in exchange for on cola sale the the sale for of exclusive contract for campus. products On-Camp- us English Language Study Center Receives Independent Accreditation International students should soon be able to study English d in the English Language Study Center in Converse Hall without declaring a college major, since the Center received its accreditation from the Council for Noncol-legiat- e Continuing Education on Sept 1, 1983. newly-accredite- The Center first began conducting English and cultural courses for foreign students and businessmen on the Westminster campus in 1981. Work toward accreditation started seven months ago for Brian MacKay, director of academic studies; Martin K. Hopkins, director of promotion and recruiting; and Michael Sudlow, director of special programs. According to MacKay, students with limited previous instruction will devote two to three full semesters, four to five hours per day, five days per week, learning the English language. Most students at the Center are working to meet the English proficiency requirement to enroll in regular courses. However, some residents and businessmen recruited by a Tokyo sister company, Excellence in Education, come just to learn English and study the culture. We will have 100 to 200 students this year, said MacKay. We anticipated 50 to 70 more students; but, because of recent changes in emigration laws, some consulates havent let their students out. Brian MacKay is director of academic studies in the neu English Language Study Center in Converse Hall. ar MacKay explained means the Center will be listed with the U.S. Secretary of Education. This has been a goal for some time, MacKay said, and will facilitate the fulfillment of more goals: devising an English U of U, study program for graduate medical students at the forms. and issuing emigration The directors now await written authorization from the forms, which Emigration Department to start issuing have, in the past, been issued for the Center by its host, Westminster College. The form is required of all foreign students studying in the U.S. When the Center is able to issue the forms, it can allow students to list the study of English as their only purpose in coming to this country without having to declare a major, MacKay said. observers were Amanda Copeland, Oklahoma State; Phyllis Safman, University of Utah; and The councils te Cheryl Brown, BYU. Based on the report of the examining team, observations of instructional methods, and review of instructional materials, our Accrediting Commission endorses the quality of the instruction programs being conducted," said Dr. Homer Kempfer, executive director of the accrediting Council. on-si- te Of the relationship the Center has with Westminster College, Hopkins said, Our arrangements with Westminster are ideal for our international students because the campus is small and our students are invited to participate in the coactivities. The student body is supporlleges tive and friendly, and a number of our students reside in the dormitories on campus. extra-curricul- that recognition by the national Council on-si- ar |
