There was some discussion about whether the I The ASSUSC Senate selected Laryn Jones as its newest member Tuesday, to replace Keilani Lindsay, who has left school to serve a mission for the LDS Church. Jones is an industrial education major and will be a student teacher at SUSC next fall. Jones told the Senate, "I'm not a quitter," and gave members some of the reasons he thought he would make a good senator. "I ran my own business and understand budgets," he said and added that he thought one of the body's main concerns should be the summer student fees. The senate gave the Inter-TribClub $2,500 for its activities this year, the biggest of these Michael Bahr said being the annual Pow-Wothe club "has done a lot for our campus," and added "There's no way they can afford these (activities) without our help." The International Club was given $905 for its year's activities. They said their expenses would come to about $1,900, but they would raise $1,000 themselves. Marilyn Perry, adviser to the group, said, "It's imperative that they have this support group." The Soccer Club and AUSA (Association of the United States Army) Club were also present to request funds. The Senate will vote on these proposals at their next meeting. The ASSUSC Executive Council rechartered the Cheerleaders and Songleaders Club last week. Dave Duce, who represented the club, said, "What's a college without cheerleaders and songleaders?" ASSUSC President Monica Moe said, "It's a college line item, which means group qualified as a club, and the executive council decided to recharter it this year. This was done so that members would have time to increase their line item and would not ned to be chartered as a club next year. Mike Roddy, assistant director of clubs and organizations, said, "In other words, we like you." The Masque Club's charter was also approved. Vickie Vorwaller, assistant director of the Student Service Center, said the group needs to "get funding and provide more avenues for theatre students," but added, "We do have some of our own fund raisers, like the spook alley." Moe said the club's "Stage II production is always highest quality. The students do everything themselves.''' The council, again, discussed its objections to the amount of funding The Thunderbird receives. K.C. Jones, academic vice president said, "It is a good paper.. .They have received awards," and also referred to the time when the paper came out only sporadically, unlike it is now. The council will look into how The Thunderbird spends its money. Moe told the The Thunderbird got the idea that council we're here to screw the students. There shouldn't be this tension. People are not apathetic anymore. We (student government) are creating momentum, The Thunderbird could supplement it. We could work together as a team. Let's not breed a bad attitude." SUSC departments give 1 variety of scholarships BY RAJEEV BHASI Scholarships are something many students are interested in, and there are a variety of them. These scholarships and grants are made to new, transfer and continuing students. They range from partial to full tuition and fees for up to four years. The various types of scholarships available are academic, leadership, talent, athletic, private and departmental. A breakdown of the endowment scholarships and grants-in-aiboth college-wid- e and by the various schools, is given in the fees and financial aid section of the college catalog. According to Marlynn Smith of the Admissions Office, all the scholarships and grants are being fully utilized, and none of them have been affected by the budget cuts. Awarding of these scholarships and grants depends upon both the student's eligibility and the availability of funds. Students should also be aware that the different schools attempt to gather additional funds through fund raising, said Al Tait, dean of the School of Science. Applications for scholarships and grants should be made as early as possible to assure consideration. Interested students are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office, as well as their various schools and departments to find out just what scholarships are available. d, Munsons Music percent discount on all store merchandise to SUSC students 2 588 South Main 10 586-874- I 1 i 1 j I I VJAUT TO BE INVOLVED IN DIQECTING THINGS AT SUSC?
