Show Classes offered on tv through microwave link Management and expertise needed in intramural program As more student recruits are seen on campus spring quarter and the enrollment is continuing its upward spiral the Eagle hopes that a well organized and administered intramural program is part of the agenda for the new students CEU is recruiting Part of any successful college student’s life is dependant upon activities based outside of the classroom experience Student government cannot nor should they be responsible to run'hn intramural program of the magnitude that should be happening on a campus of this size ASCEU has the personnel to run many activities and forums but a successful intramural program (like those run on Utah Valley and Salt Lake Community College campuses) needs to be run with expertice and management skills so that the programs do not die because of lack of involvement or sometimes even publicity The only intramural activity to finish at CEU this year was basketball and involved only a limited number of male students College campuses in the California higher education system have intramurals in ll tennis soccer flag football horseshoes racquetball volleyball softball backgammon chess rugby basketball badmitten and a whole array of lifetime sports that students of all ages can become involved in They involve both genders on each campus The

campuses linked by microwave so classes arc available only from one campus or to a limited geographic area Through the combination of a federal grant and legislative appropriation all but one Utah campus will soon be linked via a microwave system and KULC Channel 9 will be available statewide This will give Utah the unique ability to generate television classes statewide from all but Dixie College campus Too often the CEU campus is empty on weekends because there is nothing to do except students with transportation party The head out of town as early as Thursday afternoon or on Friday as soon as their last class if over students have little offered for The them to do on weekends except attend one of the many weekend dances that the same people attend week after week Part of CEU’s student retention problem has been listed as nothing to do on weekends especially those when th:re was not a football game or basketball game to attend or focus activities around Now that football has

student-facult- y interaction has great potential for making high quality higher education available to a broader audience than ever before" Dr Caipcntcr said Expanded television courses will be available on Channel 9 beginning next fall according to Ted Capcner vice president of University of Utah and chairman of the State Educational Telecommunications Operations Center Class offerings have not yet been determined but several colleges and universities have expressed interest in offering a wide variety of general education courses ng The good and bad of CEU Dear editor Since I have begun my freshman year 1 have found that there are some good things about the College of Eastern Utah and a few things I do not like As I started school here I noticed the age difference There were a lot of older and younger adults attending school There were also a lot of ethnic represented in its student body which made me feel comfortable to begin my school year When I started college I was very nervous but after awhile things became easier because I knew where to o and what to do for assistance I’ve made some friends a lot of them arc single parents as I am So far college is going great but I have needed help in some classes My teachers have answered many of my questions which assisted back-poun- ds me in raising my grades through effective study skills and perseverance Whenever my teachers arc not available because they arc teaching I can goto the CEU tutoring center where I can get help on my assignments and understand the subjects that I am tak- ing begin Higher education leaders hope to obtain federal funding for the Dixie microwave link next year Don Carpenter Associate Commissioner of Higher Education for Planning said each course will require student-facult- y interaction Options include telephone instruction special seminars over the microwave link individual phone contacts during faculty office hours or other arrangements Quality control measures' include careful course evaluation for learning and cost effectiveness and special training for faculty members “This isn't a panacea but On the bad side of CEU I think the computer breakdown during peak registration periods is a joke It seems like cvcrytimc I turn around I have to wail wait and wait in lines Also the fluctuating inside temperatures in some classrooms is uncomfortable and annoying Some-day- s it is nice and warm in the classrooms and then I go to another classroom in the same building and it is freezing cold The classroom temperatures differ daily In spite of the usual main computer breakdown and cold classrooms I Still am getting the cducatioi I intend to get Thanks to everyone who is making my college education worthwhile Nellie Goodman CEU's Athletic Director Bob
