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. by Pamela Haisler Battalion Reporter 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. American business topic of talk today ’before leaving for “spring break”...
