Drug Awareness Week funded by ASSUSC Senate ASSUSC Senators allocated funding for the Drug and Alcohol Awareness Week and the Political Awareness Committee during their Monday meeting, reducing the budget to $6,283. Also, three bills were proposed. Dan Hulet, representing the Block and Bridle Club, requested $1,943 in senatorial aid to help the organization attend a convention hosted by the national branch of the club in Denver, Colo., Jan. 11-1- 3. The money will go toward travel expenses, registration fees and lodging expenses. The club plans to raise $1,971 of its own. VICA club representative Aaron Daley requested $5,399 to fund the organizations base budget. We bring recognition to SUSC on the local, state, and national levels, said Daley. He cited the many competitions in which club members participate including the state skills Olympic competition, which emphasizes contests in leadership skills and other vocational skills like auto repair. Inter-Gree- k Council President Julie Stuart petitioned the senate for $700 in matching funds to help support the Drug and Alcohol Awareness Week grand finale to be held in the Student Center. According to Stuart, The main point is to let people know you can have fun and party without drugs and alcohol. The Greek club members plan to raise approximately $1,200 by themselves for the event, she said. Last weeks discussion concerning the Political Awareness Committees bill was renewed, though ASSUSC Academic Vice President Retta Judd was absent. I Craig Vernon, representing the club, asked the senatorial body for $362 to partially fund the organization so students could be politically aware. We are the power brokers of the future, said Vernon, regarding young peoples political impact. Sen. Patti Esplin said that a bill dictating the new sum proposal be drawn and presented again at some other time with the opportunity for stipulations. Sen. Tenaly Heaton proposed that the senate settle on $175 to be used for half the cost of general office supplies, all mail and copy costs plus poster expense. The proposal passed with a vote of eight in favor and three against. Darren Uhls bill requesting $500 to pay partial advertising expenses for the Alcohol and Drug Awareness Week was reduced to $270 by the senators. The allocation will pay for the printing of a brochure. ASSUSC leaders gain ideas, awards at state workshop BY MICHELLE LINDSEY AND JODI REINARD Twelve ASSUSC student government members recently returned from the National Association of Campus Activities convention held November 7 in Sacramento, Calif. According to ASSUSC President Jan Shelton, the trip was an education session for student leaders who attended more than 30 workshops during the week. Each workshop focused on ideas to incorporate more student campus activities into the calendar. The main objective of the SUSC delegation was to buying program. In this participate in the co-o- p program, colleges could join together to book top entertainment for their respective campuses. With the aid of Jennifer Rowland, ASSUSC united arts director, SUSC was able to book two prominent comedians for upcoming Starlight Clubs and a steel 3-- drum band for the Spring Wing Ding. We got a good deal, said Shelton, It was like a big bargain sale on artists, she said. SUSC made a good showing, taking home five of the top 12 awards. The SU delegation won the Most Enthusiastic award. They loved us. We volunteered to do anything. It was a great experience, Shelton said. Other awards included first place for SUSCs homecoming poster designed by Ceci Williams, second place in best handmade poster (David Letterman banner) by Sallie Cooper, and honorable mention for Gary Zieglers food bank program. A special award was given to Sallie Cooper for Most Outstanding Adviser. Besides attending the NACA convention, eight people are participating in the Utah Intercollegiate Assembly through Friday in Salt Lake City. The event is organized as a mock legislature in which a house of representatives and a senate are comprised by participating Utah colleges, said Shelton. Each school attending will be represented by two senators, and the amount of representation in the house is based upon school population. SUSC will have five in the house. The exercise is run exactly like the real legislature in which bills will be presented to help education and higher education in Utah. The top five bills are voted on by both houses and funneled to the Utah State Legislature where they will be mandatorily argued in the next January session. It is very serious. Student government leaders debate top issues of higher education, she said. We encouraged senators to write bills to be presented, and we received a good response, said Shawn Marchant, delegate chair and ASSUSC college relations director. One bill SUSC is presenting provides for child care facilities and state funded schools. |
