Show Westminster College of Salt Lake City November 18, 1983 Volume 31, No. 9 Friday K Three Hundred Attend Homecoming Dance Where Dinner Service Causes Problems Alicia Dechart, Homecoming Committee member, said I am sure that if things were as they were supposed to be, everything would have been great but just because of that one problem with the food, it was a bomb. 9 Royalty for this years dance were Karl Thompson and Sabrina Morton, third attendants; Kevin Compton and Stacy Butters, second attendants; Robert Schorr and Julie Bell, first attendants; and Shukri Abdulmajeid, king and Idis Cuivas, queen. Approximately 300 attended the dance, according to Aloia. On Friday, Nov. 4, about 150 were present for the steak fry and 60 alumni attended the informal reunion at the Scoreboard Lounge. Idas Cuivas and Shukri Abdulmajeid were named Queen and King of Homecoming, 1983. Between 20 and 30 spectators watched the seniorjunior team beat the sophomorefreshman team with a score of 22 to 14 in the powder puff football game, according to Aloia. Three awards were presented at the dance. A community service award was given to PM Magazine Utah for their promotion of alumni activities and their commitment to the school The Manford A. Shaw Outstanding Alumni Award was given to Wilbert Gore from the class of 1931. Awards were given, royalty was announced, and dinner was served to 180 people at Homecoming, 1983, on Nov. 5. There was, however, one problem, according to Maggie Aloia, director of alumni affairs. The Marriott Hotel, "where the was held, made an error in the number of people contracted for dinner, said Aloia. When the amount of food they originally put out was gone, the hotel refused to serve any more. ce Janet McRoberts, chairwoman of the Homecoming Committee, was present with a copy of the contract that had been agreed upon. According to Aloia, the error between what was paid for and what was served was cleared up, and more food was brought out The problem with the food caused a handful of people to wait between a half hour and an hour for dinner, said Aloia. Some ended up not eating at all. Library Offers New Magazine Services Four new library services should make it easier to do research in the librarys magazine collections this year, according to Dick Wunder, librarian. Students who were here last year may not be aware yet of a new change of policy which allows you to take magazines out of the library, said Wunder. Before this year, magazines could be used only in the library; now they are treated like reserve and reference books, which means they can be taken out on a r loan, including overnight use. Secondly, library staff are preparing circulation cards to be attached to each magazine. When the project is finished, students will no longer have to wait while a circulation slip is made out for a magazine. Cards prepared in advance will leave less chance of an inaccurate circulation card, causing students to be blamed for not returning magazines they never had, said Wunder. two-hou- of older magThirdly, the library will provide free print-out- s azine articles this year. Many magazines more than five years old are available only on microfilm (reels of film) or microfiche (cards of micropages). When desired articles are in this form, the library will provide free copies for student who are willing to wait 24 hours for the service. Of course, if you have put off your research until too late, or if you dont want to wait, you can check out the microform yourself and use one of the librarys reading machines to look at it, said Wunder. Finally, a fourth service will be the provision of a series of pamphlets one for each of the librarys magazine indexes showing which magazines the library has that are indexed, or "Dr. Bob Warnock of the faculty received the faculty staff award for his service above and beyond the call of duty, said Aloia.

The first one, for the Reader's Gu ide to Period ical Literature, is expected to be available before Thanksgiving. Next to be issued will be guides for Business Periodicals Index, Education Index, and Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature. Before the end of the year we expect to have published guides for Humanities Index, General Science Index and Social Sciences Index," said Wunder. But when school began this semester, enrollment was up significantly which meant that there was more money to be allocated than was anticipated. The library also provides a number of continuing services with its magazines, said Wunder. For example, a briefcasesized microfiche reader can be checked out and taken home overnight Students can take home with them half a dozen years of a magazine e.g. The Reading Journal or The Journal of in a 4 x 6 file box and read all night long, Education Nursing Wunder said. All of the librarys back issues continue to be kept in a closed area behind the desk. This provides two major advantages, Wunder said. Acts of theft and are kept to a minimum and the library staff will locate magazines without students having to worry about where to find them. mis-shelvi- Schorr also said that the process of allocating the excess funds has begun and he encouraged the clubs and organizations that were denied budget requests last year to reapply. Their requests will take priority, Schorr said. Michelle Maxwell, speaker pro tern of the Legislative Assembly, the group that makes up the budget, said that there has not yet been a meetingof the finance committee to begin the process of writing a new budget There was a meeting scheduled, Maxwell said, but it was cancelled.
