Show PACE 10 THE THUNDERBIRD TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 29, 1987 Older students face challenges The BY RAJEEV BHASI inmost t1Tsr?Tv flv students make up between 30 and 35 percent of the student population of SUSC, according to statistics at SUSC's Project ALTA. Their needs differ from the traditional students who are single, between the ages of 18 and 25 and who entered college right out of high school. According to Georgia Beth Thompson, director of student support services, there has been an increase in the number of students not only on this campus but campuses nationwide. The reasons for this vary from retraining, due to the introduction of new technology, to single parents, who because of the death of their spouse or divorce, have to find better jobs to support their children. Project ALTA, which is a part of student support services, keeps track of the statistical numbers and types of students that make up SUSC's student body. Student support services also provides counseling and tutoring to the student. Also, Thompson pointed out that SUSC has two full tuition scholarships for students based on need and ability. In addition, the collige offers help in English and mathematics for eligible students, through the student support services office, for those students al if al al SUlOBo Dress for success.

The ASSUSC has been attempting to meet the special needs of these students. Last year, the Associated Students created the position of student representative. This representative helped to organize activities geared towards the needs of students. One example of these activities was finals relief week, in which volunteers from the Circle K organization helped to take care of the students' children while they prepared for finals. Stacy Buchanan, ASSUSC administrative vice president, stated, that more activities are being students such as planned for the weekend matinee movies for the students' children, a barbecue, a scavenger hunt and other activities. Also, the Associated Students are trying to get a price reduction for the children of college students to college games and activities. She also emphasized that all student activities on campus are open to all students, and students will be welcome. Currently the position of student representative is vacant, and the ASSUSC is seeking applications from any interested student, said Buchanan. Information or applications may be obtained for position at the ASSUSC offices in the Student Center. al al al al Pizza Hut Now Offers . . . 2 Pizza Hut Pizzas For 1 Fantastic Price! military.
