Meeting the needs of students
th career concerns, stress
anagement problems, rusty
idy skills or personal prob-
tns is the objective of the Stu
nt Counseling Center.
■o meet this objective, the
ulseling center has started
o new programs — a career
otivation program and a en-
ulter group for older-than-
erage students.
’ The career motivation prog-
m, headed by Dr. Ann
mroer, is for freshman and
phomore students with at least
3.2 grade-point ratio. These
idents sometimes are con-
sed about their majors and
nat they will do when they get
itlof school, Schroer said,
ough the program they will
what kinds of career
H)rtunities their current ma-
jr offers and how to choose a
ajbr.
“The program is going to look
; the student’s value system,
alls and personality to confirm
teii interests and ability,”
::hroer said.
For example, he said the Uni
versity could abolish dead week
and have two weeks of finals
which would give students two
weekends to study.
Carmichael and Pearson both
said that with the success of The
Big Event, more programs
which involve all the students
will be part of the candidates’
platforms. Carmichael said the
clean-up program may even be
state-wide in the future.
Carmichael agreed that crime
control will be an important
issue.
"The male dorms may form
patrols if the problem con
tinues,” he said.
Election Commissioner Les C.
Asel said a candidate question
naire will be written to let stu
dents know how candidates
stand on the issues. He also said
debates between the candidates
will reveal their positions.
Other issues the candidates
may campaign about include bi
cycles on campus, the drinking
age and the minority issue cur
rently being studied by the
Board of Regents.

Student Government has
organized a Crime Awareness
Committee to help students be
come more safety conscious.
“The program is basically to
educate the students about the
crimes going on around campus
and to make them more safety
conscious,” said Judy Marcotte,
director of committee.
Marcotte said theft, burglary
and attacks on women are the
most common crimes on cam
pus. The committee will work on
K rograms and other activities to
elp students become more
aware of crimes and how to pre
vent them, she said.
The committee is working on
a flyer that will be posted around
campus, Marcotte said.
“These flyers will be a kind of
safety check list, with questions
like ‘Did you lock your door?’
and ‘Did you tell someone where
you are going and when you will
be back?”’ she said. “They will
also have emergency telephone
numbers.”
Marcotte said the committee
will try to have an open line of
communication between the
University Police and students
because better communication is
one way to make the campus
safer.
She said the committee will
become more active in the fall
semester.
