Hwy.91 North Interchange Cedar City, Utah Dally Specials 506-062- 7 more to preparing a dance than gathering records and word. Before the music plays, sponsors must apply the spreading for the dance and be accepted by the ASSUSC Executive Council. Dances taking place on the SUSC campus are scheduled one quarter in advance. Without scheduling and complying with student activity guidelines, dance rights are not granted. According to Director of Student Activities Tony Pellegrini, this advance planning is necessary so students will be aware of is upcoming dances. This scheduling also allows for more publicity, which usually results in a better turn out at the dance which makes it more worthwhile for the sponsors. The process starts at the beginning of each quarter when Cathleen Castle, ASSUSC clubs and organizations director, formally announces the dance slots for the following quarter. Packets with dance information and general procedures are available to all interested and prospective sponsors. Those interested in sponsoring a dance then apply. The application requests such information as the desired theme, type of music and dress, decorations and a detailed plan of the event. Everett Kelepolo, ASSUSC administrative vice president, and the Executive Council then decide who will be allowed a dance sponsorship. Dances are scheduled according to a priority list. First precedence goes to student government. The second priority includes chartered clubs and organizations, followed by other approved groups, said Kelepolo. Accompanying this priority list, the Executive Council considers other factors. These considerations include individual funds that each club receives from the ASSUSC Senate. Those who obviously need the money will be prioritized, said Kelepolo. Pellegrini said, We like to provide first to the clubs who are out there working and doing service projects. Despite all the considerations and priorities, all clubs have the same and definite procedure that must be followed, said Pellegrini. ROTC solicits funds (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3) We want to be more involved than simply guest speakers, he said. One complaint Burch had of the Convocations system is the lack of questioning and discussion time students enjoy with selected speakers. Convocations dont give students enough time, it is a limited realm. We want to continue the atmosphere and expand the realm, he said. Sen. Dave Duce concurred with Burch. He said, Id like to see speakers that are more intellectual. We have problems getting speakers to satisfy everybody. In old business, senators chipped away ROTCs bill from the $1,975 request to $775. Funds will be utilized for commission ceremony graduation, color guards, field training exercises, and Cadets for Christmas, a community service project. Sen. Patti Esplin disagreed with the allotment for the graduation ceremony. The graduation thing is nice, but it is a club, she said. I still have a problem with this theyre goverment funded, said Esplin. Other senators disagreed with Esplin and thought the commission ceremony was a good idea. Its like a said Cadet Sgt. Jason Woodford. Woodford was also concerned with the appearance of color guard equipment. Some needs replacement. The equipment was ready for the trash when we got it two years ago, he said. He explained the equipment was given to the college from Brigham Young University when the ROTC program was initiated at mini-graduatio- n, SUSC. Senators also inquired about field training exercises. It provides hands-o- n training, said leadership experience actual hands-o- n Woodford. Sen. Mark Holyoak added, Its open to all students. He continued by telling senators that most ROTC activities are offered to students free of charge. They are opened to all students like rappelling, and students dont have to pay, he said. In other business, senators discussed Intramurals Director Billy Roberts request for funds to carpet the weight room. A few senators wondered if the physical education department would share some of the funding burden. Whats being done with our fees they the physical education department arent giving anything, said Sen. Ceci Williams. Other senators agreed. It was decided to circle and post the bill for an additional week. |
