This Week: Resources Committee Recommendations, p. 1 Special awards upcoming, p. 3 Hoop Scoops and Hockey, p. 4,5 Steve Johnson, new ASB president p. 6 Union College Student Newspaper Vol. 60 No. 18 March 27,1986 THE Recommendations from the Resources Committee Revealed In 1985 the Resources Advisory Committee at Union College was formed. It is a twelve member board, chosen from the faculty and staff of Union College, and the Mid-America Conference of- fice. Its purpose was to find places to cut Union's budget without jeopardizing the quality of the education that was available. Thursday evening, March 20, 18 meetings later, a reluctant Dr. Manley announced the commit- tee's decisions. The committee was able to reduce expenditures by slightly over one million dollars. The cuts were made in a number of different areas, ranging from a $24,800 cut in the "misc. and travel" area of the Division of Business, to $500 in the Physical Education Department. The big cuts seemed to come in the "retrenchment" of faculty and staff. A number of division secretaries have been cut as well as a number of others mentioned by name in Dr. Manley's speech. Those who will no longer hold their current positions at Union are: Linda Dick, Nancy Carlson, and William Fitts from the Huma- nities Division; Marilyn Schwisow from the Division of Human Development; James Hayward, of the Division of Science and Math, who will be going to Andrews; Darrell Beyer and Terri Schlegel from the TLC; James Ferguson from the Accounting Office; Ja- nice Brummett from Duplicating; KUCV's Fundraiser a success; large turnover in staffing Mr. Larry West of KUCV is happy to announce that the recent fundraiser for the station has by Anita Gregerson been a success. Mr. West stated that KUCV is only $2000 short of their $40,000 goal, and two months remain for pledges to come in. The fundraiser has also brought in approximately 140 new members. The money raised in the drive will be used for the operations of the station, such as; staff salaries, buying records, and operational expenses. The station has recently exper- ienced some changes in the staff. Mel West assumed the position of General Manager of the station on a trial basis, but decided not to assume the position full-time. The postition of General Manager is still vacant. Two other members of the staff are leaving the station due to a change in residence. They are Cheryl Hayward, Membership Director, and Beverley Wong, Program Director. One year ago the staff num- bered 30 people, this included full-time, part-time, and student employment. Now the staff has six full-time employees and less than ten others. KUCV plans to replace the senior staff positions which have opened. Another matter of interest for KUCV fans may be the program guide which was formerly pub- lished in the Lincoln Magazine. Mr. West stated that Lincoln Magazine was too expensive to publish but KUCV does plan to publish' a new program guide when they are able to find a less costly way to produce it. The name of the publication has not yet been determined, nor the date of publication. Rick Blythe and Louis Arokiasamy from Institutional Advancement; Ned Saunders, Fernando Carrillo, and Jon Mirth from Plant Ser- vices, the area hit the hardest by the budget cuts. Also leaving will be Mindy Brooks, FIPSE coor- dinator; Sara Gregerson from the switchboard/mailroom; and Larry Onsager and Sue Job from the library. Of all of the staff members cut, only 3 will be replaced, and these replacements will be made from inside Union. Marilyn Schwisow, who resigned to get married, is being replaced by Ward Hill. Linda Dick, who is planning to attend graduate school, is being replaced by Deborah Leonard, who is returning from China. Also, the switchboard, previously run by Sara Gregerson, will be moved to Rees Hall and taken over by one of the deans. With all of the cuts being made it was a relief to find that only one major, Early Childhood Educa- tion, was going to be cut from Union's curriculum. But nonethe- less, this particular cut is of concern to the nine Early Child- hood Ed. majors who are wondering if they are going to be able to finish their education at Union. Aside from the decisions on how to decrease spending, a few were made on how to increase revenue.

Special announcement to be made! (REGARDING CASH PRIZES...) Opinions Editorial . Union loses another friend— Dr. Richard McCluskey Of the editorials that I have not wanted to write, this one ranks in the top three. I am sure that you are aware of Dr. Richard McClus- key's resigning effective July 31 to pursue a different avenue of his professional career. I really don't know where to begin. I was introduced to Dr. McGus- key by my sister when she was a biology major at Union and Dr. McCluskey still taught in the Science/Math deparment. He was much more imposing, then (since I was still in academy), but easy going and relaxed. It was with the strong advice of my sister that I asked to be his advisee when he came to Maplew- ood Academy my senior year to recruit for Union. Thankfully, things worked out. Now, five years later, Dr. McCluskey is still my advisor and, the last I heard, carries the largest number of advisees.

Reporters Anita Gregerson Delone Cleare Steve McFee Susan LaFever Brian Havelka Rob Lalng Stan Michael Scott Fandrioh nothing else, this should tell you that the man cares about stu- dents. I see a genuine interest in his eyes when I talk to him and talk to others about him. I like to start conversations and then sit back and listen to what the people are saying. After hearing about Dr. McCluskey's resignation, and mentioning his name to others, I was not really amazed at what I heard. It was what I have known about the man for years—that he cares about students, that he goes out of his way, he puts in a good word, that takes time to talk, that he is a friend. The last point is the founding point of all the others: Dr. McCluskey takes the time to be your friend. The rest naturally follows. With Dr. McCluskey being my advisor, I have increased my life expectancy by more than five years, I have an avenue for dialogue with the Administration and I will graduate with a degree. I have a friend who sees the positive in me and wishes to help me see it with him. He doesn't defraud a friendship by hiding what needs to be seen; when I talk to him about grades, my point is made perfectly clear.... He will not say one thing and mean another. He will not make one point and the next day hold the opposite to be true. Everybody leaves an education- al institution with the thought, "The year after I left, the place went downhill faster than a polar bear on skis." I guess I would like to echo that thought about Union for when I get out. Unfortunate- ly, incoming freshmen won't have the opportunity to know Dr. McCluskey as an advisor, but I know he'll always be there as a friend. That is tried and true and you can bank on it. I just can't say enough good about Dr. McClus- key, my advisor and friend. T.B. Personals To: 482-92-1280-2 Get a job bud. You aren't foolin' anyone!!! Love ya. ???

BRE Page 2 News Special awards to be voted for by students and faculty For those individuals who like to pride themselves on being a people person, athletic jock, work- by Nichole Parks a-holic, and all-a-round-cool-dude, Union Col- lege is now planning a special event just for you! On April 26, non-academic awards will be given honoring those students who have uplifted Union in a variety of ways. There are several different categories that students will be chosen from: " VOTED ON BY STUDENT BODY 1. Female Athlete: An outstanding performance, sports- manship, and contribution to the campus athletic program. 2. Male Athlete: Same as above. 3. Student Activities: Involve- ment in student activities and contribution to campus spirit. These three categories will be voted on by the student body. You may receive a voting ballot Resources (continued fronrvpg. 1) ces, which is expected to bring in $100,000 next year. An increased enrollment would bring in more money, therefore better and more extensive recruiting techniques are being looked into as a possible way to increase Union's financial state. In addition to this, plans for an endowment fund are in the beginning stages. Union currently has $600,000 that needs another $400,000 before it will be matched by a donor and placed into an endowment fund for the college. In his speech Dr. Manley also advised the students on the use of their funds in the ASB. He made several suggestions, and asked students to feel free to add their input, emphasizing their impor- tance in the system. One person Dr. Manley did not mention in his speech was Dr. McCluskey. Dr. McCluskey has resigned as vice-president in charge of academic affairs in order to take up a position with Scientific Research Institute here from any of the senators after April 3. VOTED BY FACULTY AND WORK SUPERVISORS The next three categories are as follows: 4. Contribution to Media: Media Expertise (radio, publica- tions, photography, etc.), creativity, and contribution to campus media. 5. Community Service: Par- ticipation in volunteer activities, and contribution to Lincoln com- munity programs (political, social, artistic, etc.) 6. Student Worker: Unusual level of performance and respon- sibility on a campus job. The last three awards will be nominated by the faculty and work supervisors and then voted upon by staff ballot. All awards will then be reviewed and chosen by the Student Affairs and Services com- mittee. Remember, Saturday night, April 26, at the "Yearlook" presentation...YOU could be awarded at what YOU excell in— DON'T MISS IT!! in Lincoln. When asked about this, Dr. Manley could only respond that while Dr. McCluskey would be replaced, no one had been chosen as yet. The decisions were not easy ones to make, and extensive reports were done in all areas before making anything final. Dr. Manley's outlook is hopeful, and he is willing to listen to sugges- tions from students, and anyone who is concerned with Union and its future. Make their Easter bright and beautiful!

Union College Campus Store Mon. - Thurs. 8 AM - 8 PM Friday 8 AM-5 PM "Places in the Heart" with Sally Field for ASB Sat. night Students of Union College are in for a real treat Saturday night, March 29, when the ASB presents by David Earles yet another blockbuster film, "Places in the Heart", starring Sally Field.

"I like showing these movies," comments Nedd Brown, ASB Social Vice-president and coordinator of the evening's events, "But I'd also like to see it be a social event.

For those planning to attend the evening's events, you will need at least one ID card per couple. Pago 3 Sports Hoop Scoops Season in Review....Another hoop season has come to an end.
