Show Page 2 The Tfumderfrird Monday, April 16, 1984 Council rejects land swap proposals, but may lease The Institutional Council Friday rejected a proposed swap of SUSC property to help pave the way for a ski resort but left open the idea of leasing the land. The action simply followed the recommendations of a college committee, which had been evaluating the land-trad- e proposal made by the Clark Livestock Company of Cedar City. Clark Livestock last September asked to trade for acreage in Cedar Canyon owned by the college for development of the Engen Mountain resort. We are putting the ball back into the Clark court, said Council Chairman Dale Zabriskie. We make it known. ..that if the Clark Livestock Co. is interested in pursuing the issue further, they let us know within a years time as of today. If Clark agreed to a lease, the council agreed that all college frontage property adjacent to Highway except for a would be needed for the ski resort. The committee of students, faculty and staff members considered the proposal for some six months before deciding on the lease idea. Committee Chairman Frain Pearson said his group was concerned that the U-1- right-of-wa- college might get stuck if the ski resort were to go bankrupt. The committee also asked that profits from a lease go for educational purposes. The college would also negotiate with resort developers for recreational opportunities for SUSC students, such as reduced lift tickets, ski school classes, and scholarship possibilities. Negotiations would be handled by a special team, including assistance from the state Attorney Generals office, if Clark agrees to a lease. Institutional Council members felt the lease price should be based on gross sales at the resort, not on a percentage of lift tickets. In other action, the council approved money requests for capital improvements on campus, with renovation and cooling of the science building the top priority. Requests for the capital improvements will be submitted to the Board of To Regents to consider for 1985-8and ceilings laboratories, repair mechanical systems in the science building, $209,000 is being requested. The councils second priority is to repair structural cracking in college buildings caused by soil compaction. To repair an antiquated electrical system, the college is also seeking $201,000. The campus electrical system was installed many years ago, noted Sherratt, noting that money is also necessary to bring exits in the student center to state standards for fire safety. Other capital improvements planned are library recarpeting, tennis court renovations, replacement of the PE building floor, and an upgrading of auditorium safety, particularly a worn-ou- t rigging system that prompted Sherratt to comment, Were fearful somebodys going to get their foot cut off someday. In the area of capital developments, the Institutional Council will request $40,000 to buy a house partially on land needed for the SUSC Centrum. I dont think the family would enjoy being there during (Centrum) construction, Sherratt remarked. The second development priority for 1985-8- 6 is a vocational and technology center to train students in high-tec- h areas such as robotics and computer graphics. Were having a very tough time providing workers for this area, Sherratt said. That means this is our first priority for facilities on this campus. The seventh priority listed by the council is a new math and computer science building needed to accommodate the fastest growing programs at SUSC. While the college is requesting money for development. Executive Vice President Paul Southwick reported that student services are starting to move solidly into the black. The food services program, which ran up a deficit of almost $80,000 in 1982-8this year is estimated to lose only about $15,000, Southwick said. We expect it will have a surplus he added. operation for 1984-8The Institutional Council also promoted six faculty members to the rank of full professor: Dr. Kathryn Berg, Dr. Hal Campbell, Dr. Phillip Carter, Dr. Michael Cohen, Dr. Blair Maxfield and Dr. James Miller. Berg is currently assistant athletic director and department chair, Campbell is dean of arts and letters and Carter is assistant provost for academic programs. h Cohen, who was also given a sabbatical, is chair of the English department, Maxfield is a geology professor, and Miller is dean of the School of Education. nine-mont- Campus clubs are main concern at senate meeting The role of the ASSUSC Senate in the operation of student clubs was clarified last week, and club officials explain the budgeting policy and answer questions concerning proper procedures. Bills for allocation will now only be accepted for review on the first and second senate meetings of the month as routine. This, explained Wright, will enable senate members to have the time to devote to other concerns they have been assigned to deal with. The senates request for access to information on clubs off campus financial accounts caused concern to be raised among some club members. Financial Coordinator John Christy explained that this is needed in order to make certain clubs are not misrepresented when they request funds and for the senate auditing committee to review if deemed necessary. were given the names of senators who will work with them throughout the year. Among other things, individual senators will consult with club officials to make certain that bills are written correctly before they are submitted to the whole senate. We are going to be very strict in following these bylaws and guidelines that we have set down, said Senate President Steve Wright. It is hoped this arrangement will save time and effort as fewer errors should be made and that communications will be enhanced between clubs and the senate, said Wright. Friday, the senate met with club representatives to Sperry elected district governor for Circle K by Lanai Greenhalgh SUSCs Circle K Club recently swept the Utah Idaho District convention that was held at the Marriott Hotel in was also awarded outstanding officer. Other awards included banner patches for having the most members at the convention and attending all of Also concern was voiced over the April 30 deadline for clubs listings of all sources of revenue and expenses for the upcoming year. Some clubs do not yet know their plans for the new year. In answer Wright said that there will be a budgeting session at the beginning of fall quarter for clubs to attend if they are not ready to submit the list by the end of April. We feel as the senate, explained Wright, we have the responsibility to have control and know exactly where all the money is going to end up thats been entrusted to us by the student body and thats the reason why theres going to be a little bit more paper work this year. Like I said, we feel like we have a responsibility not only to you but to the rest of the students on campus.
