Show The Thunderbird Mondavi May 14, 1984 Telethon XIII exceeds goal We had 210 callers this year compared to 170 callers last year, Alger notes. Pledges range from $2 to $500 with several $100 donations. A $500 donation this year was made by an. alumnus matching program participating in a three-to-on- e with his company, meaning that the college will receive $1,500 from that one call alone. Clayton Frehner, SUSC Foundation Board President, was the champion bell ringer this telethon engraved bells are given the person who collects the most in pledges every two hours. He alone collected $3,000 over a period. Other bell ringers cited for outstanding success are Kent Myers, McRay Cloward, Rod Decker, Don Reid, Boyd Adams, Doris Williamson, Lori Morrell, Laura Searcy, Ron Halbert, Jean Newville, A1 Baker, Vicki Baxter, Dave Nelson, Anne Adele Jorgenson, Yolanda Montoya, Glenn Nelson, Eli Clark, Richard Kennedy, Golda Jean Orton, Andrea Stratton and Nanette DeFiesta. Weve come a long way since our first telethon in 1972, Bishop says. Thousands of dollars have gone into our scholarship fund and its because of the generosity of our alumni and the many friends of this college that were helping ease the financial students. burdens of our scholarship-worth- y be an unlucky number but certainly not in terms of SUSC's recent telethon drive. A goal of $35,000 in scholarship monies was set before the start of the March 29 through April 19 campaign and that goal was Thirteen may fund-raisin- g topped by an additional $2,700 in pledges. Jack Bishop, SUSC director of development and alumni relations, indicates that more than $20,000 of the total $37,700 has already been received at the development office. We get around 80 percent of the money pledged each year, and thats a very high percentage in comparison with other college and university telethons. Development Secretary Zelma Alger has a finger on all the facts about Telethon XIII and about a dozen previous telephone campaigns to raise scholarship money. Its earmarked each year, she says, for sophomores, and juniors and seniors, returning students who have proven their academic and leadership abilities here on campus. Golda Jean Orton and Paul Whetman, SUSC Foundation Board members, served as chair and of successful Telethon XIII. As in other years, students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the College manned telephone lines during 6 to 10 p.m. shifts every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday through the scheduled fund raiser. Young serves D.C. internship him 12 hours of college credit in the political science field. . My prior experiences in public service helped me develop interests in political science and public administration, said Young. I find I am enjoying myself and I enjoy working with Senator Hatch. Internships with Utah congressmen pay a. basic stipend of between $500 and $600, which is just enough to cover the interns living expenses in Washington, D.C. Many senators and representatives do not pay their interns at all. In addition to the stipend, SUSC interns earn 12 hours of college credit. The SUSC internship program began in 1979. Rodney Decker, chairman of the SUSC Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences, said the internships are very valuable in helping students take a definite course in life. Many students are very uncertain about their e plans when they leave for an internship, but when they return, most have a pretty good idea of what they want to be and do. Theres no better place to prepare for a career in public administration than in Washington, D.C., the heart of the nations political administration. Thats what Ken Young, a senior at SUSC, says. Young is currently serving as a legislative intern to Utah GOP Senator Orrin G. Hatch in Washington, D.C. The experience is one which I am sure will have a profound effect on my career and further schooling in the public administration field", said Young. Im having a good time here and I have learned a lot about the workings of the nation. Young is one of three interns sen? to Washington, D.C., annually by SUS.C Interns serve in the offices of Hatch, Sen. Jake Garn, and Rep. James Hansen; Political internships are available to all students. Young, a language major with a political science minor, was selected with two other students from several applicants to participate in the internship program.

The two Compugraphic Mini Disk Terminal 350s, Editwriter 2750 and Editwriter 7900 Universal, installed in April, 1983, will be replaced by a Compugraphic Modular Composition System which includes five terminals, a high speed typesetter, a dot matrix printer and an improved processing system. Also, a communications interface will .come with the system so that departments on campus may send typesetting to publications via the colleges central computer. Director of Publications and Faculty Adviser Larry Baker notes that the system, which will cost more than the one approximately one-thir- d currently in use, will streamline production for both the newspaper and publications department. It also will give students more adaptable experience and will take much of the production of the paper out of the hands of paste-u- p personnel and put it in the hands of the editors, You , , - 1 said iJaker. It will speed work as well as allow iore creativity in design. It will also save money in., the. long run and give the students hands-on- , y experience on relatively sophisticated vfdeo display terminals which are comparatively easy to master. Editor Lynn Nolan, a junior from Cedar City, agrees. Well be able to do a number of things with this new system which were impossible with the old system, she says. For instance, entire pages can be put together at the editors desks so that thefe are no surprises. Headlines can be made to fit exactly and other processes accomplished in a way that puts all decisions where they belong, with the editors, rather than with production personnel. The new system has been made possible through a substantial increase in advctising revenues for the paper. From a mere $2,000 ;n- 1982-8advertising income will approach $25,000 this year, with no increase in rates, according to Baker. Because there will be four terminals far the exclusive use of the newspaper, The Thunderbird will pay approximately of the $1180 per month payment for the equipment.
