Show student council has a problem here it is isby is isby is' is by Ed Lite Lile Associate Editor U Utah tah Technical College has all the potential of being one of the best Technical cal Community Colleges in the West if not in the country The recent self- self study evaluation report as well as the brief report from the Western College Association Evaluation Team proved we had what it takes Why then must the Student Council be plagued with so many personnel problems These problems tend to weaken the student leadership or to revert the workload to the few dedicated survivors who are determined to carry carryon on This has been one of the problem years years maybe maybe more maybe less than other years years' but it has been a ripper l' l First we had the Student President Laurie Guiver Quiver resign because of insurmountable problems This was understandable Changes were made and it looked as though there would be a functional Council Rob brought to the position of Executive Vice President a vast wealth of prestige kg and expertise Glenn Riddle moved up to fill the vacancy of Student President Riddle is a sincere working hard-working older student who added humor determination determination determination deter deter- and a desire to do the job All seemed well well well-it it was going to work All of a sudden the problems again began to inflict wounds on the Student Council when during the week of April 16 a very capable Vice President of Publications Glen Proctor resigned What went wrong He had taken over the position last year when a vacancy arose This was his second year in office and in that time he accomplished wonders in making Points West newspaper what it is This was Proctors Proctor's second year with the same Associate Editor Editor Editor-a a working team Proctor is a talented energetic young man who was willing to go the extra mile Somehow he gave in to the problems of the paper and office If only he Ie could have coped with what faced him and remained in office to complete the remainder of the quarter he would have been able to look back at two w Ff i successful years When one good leader suddenly gives up his office that is bad enough but to have Rob follow up with his resignation as the Executive Vice y President that President that was a catastrophe Is there an apathetic attitude that causes a JY r breakdown There is an unfortunate disinterest fr from m the r towards the towards the student government tr s j vj p This was evident at last years year's voting when only or so voters cast their ballots from a student population of nearly Points West is at loss with Proctors Proctor's lea leaving ing Oh OhIo we will carry on on we we tI have to With only five fi e issues to go w we must not give u up nor nor are we going to let it fall flat It is just a matter of picking up th the m missing pieces s and putting putting putting put put- f u ting the puzzle together again Of course the Publications Council has been let down too Someday the answers will be known as to why a good man manwill manwill J Jwill will quit the team in the middle of the game ir Unfortunately it has happened and no doubt doubt it will happen again again we only hope it will not happen in such a drastic way |
