SEE PAGES 8-- 9. e Omnderfoird Tjitji THE STUDENT NEWS AND VIEWS OF SOUTHERN UTAH STATE COLLEGE CEDAR CITY, UTAH ASSUSC primary election set for Wednesday Balloting for three student government posts and two amendments to the ASSUSC Constitution will take place Wednesday, Oct. 19 in the Student Center. The primary elections will narrow the races for two positions open to freshmen on the ASSUSC Senate and Attorney General. The voting booths, to be located in the Student Center, will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jeff Maxwell, senate president, said the two senate positions are important because of the significant role the senate plays in the operation of ASSUSC. Adapting election rules, canvassing election results, establishing criteria for chartering clubs and organizations, approving presidential appointments, conducting investigations into matters concerning student welfare and appropriating student fees are but a few of the things we do, said Maxwell. One of the senates goals for the school year is a total reworking of the constitution which defines the students governmental powers. Candidates for freshman senator are Tom Sparks, Mark Miller, Shelly Stoker, Lana Houston and Duane Rawlinson. The candidates for attorney general are Stan Keene, Mike Hanley, Ann Wittkop and Dave Coles. A proposed amendment to the student constitution, Amendment 2, that will appear on the ballot, would change the title of the position to social affairs vice president and add more responsibilities. The current duties of the attorney general are to stay informed of ASSUSCs legal affairs. This includes insuring that all elected officials and all activities meet the requirements of the constitution. The proposed change would produce a more demanding and exacting office, said Student dy President Mark Wade. He said the new office would lessen the pressures and duties pf his own job. A second proposed amendment to the constitution would change the date that new student government officials take office. Instead of taking office at the beginning of spring quarter, if Amendment 2 is ratified, the newly elected officers will train under the current officers during the last two weeks of spring quarter, officially taking on their responsibilities at the end of the quarter. The proposed amendment reaffirms the term of office as one full year. Wade said the change would allow for a better trained and more efficient student government. Accreditation review team scrutinizes College Third in a series by Paul Husselbee An excellent reception was received by accreditation officials last week in a four-da- y tour of SUSC, said Joe Crowley, committee chairman for the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges. Crowley was one of 1 1 NASC representatives who visited the SUSC campus to review results of an internal and make a recommendation regarding SUSCs effort to receive accreditation. The accreditation application is the second such effort the college has made in the past 10 years. SUSC received accreditation from NASC in 1973. I know I speak for the entire committee when I say our reception here has been excellent, Crowley said. We found the campus to be a very friendly place with a great concern for the quality of the campus on the self-stud-y part of the administration, faculty, staff, students and even the community. Crowley said the committees visit was not only a learning experience for the college, but for the committee as well. As far as accrediting visits go, the process here has been a great learning experience for us as a committee,' Crowley said. We always learn something new, and this visit was no different. y The was well prepared, Crowley said. It certainly helped our project, he said. It helped us evaluate the institution and helped the institution see where it needs to improve, which is part of the reason we require a y for accreditation. Though he would not be specific, Crowley said the committee was impressed with many parts of the campus, and pointed to several strengths. The School of Business, Communications and Technology, one of SUSCs admitted strengths, received good reviews from the committee. self-stud- self-stud- Dean Harold Hiskey said he feels a dedicated facult makes his school a successful part of the college. We have people who show up at five oclock in th morning, are here all day and dont leave until late ; night, Hiskey said. They give more to their jobs than is expected in some cases. Most of the faculty members have had outside experience in industry, business, communications and government, Hiskey said. They are true professionals, and we are proud of that," he said. All classes are taught by faculty membeis and not graduate students. Thats something that the college as a whole can be proud of, Hiskey said. Our students can come here with the knowledge that theyll be taught by the faculty, not other students. Each department within his school has strong academic programs, Hiskey said.
