INSIDE Sports Mission impossible ? Ben Stapley takes a look at two succesful LDS athletes who are trying to juggle their athletic careers with a possible two year church mission.

The constitution change would include Inter-Club Council (ICC) president among the student government offices that all students have the opportunity to vote for in the annual general election. If the proposal docs go to the general election it is directly a result of heavy petitioning led by ICC members. This seemingly simple change has been a source of debate in student council meetings and among members. The initial proposal to make the change failed three . times in student council meetings before ICC president Chris Morgan decided to take a different route. "It was a very heated, heated debate," said Morgan. At least one council member is strongly opposed to the idea. Frank Stuart, Humanities Senator, stands strong in his belief that the ICC president should not be voted on in the general election and should not even be on the Executive Council, which includes the Student Body President and the two Vice Presidents. "ICC is a special interest group," said Stuart. The Executive Council appoints student council members and has a big hand in many major decisions that effect UVSC students. Stuart also believes that allowing the ICC president to be voted on in the general election takes power away from the club members. "Most of the club members don't understand what's going on." said Stuart. However, Stuart insists that he will support the ICC members in whatever decision they make concerning the proposal."I'm for it if the clubs really get out there and push for it. I fear it's just the ICC presidency." At least one of club representative isn't supportive of the proposal.

That is . why the Jackson Howard Preschool Assistance Program was established. . The Jackson Howard Assistance Program will pay the preschool fee for children of UVSC students in need of financial assistance.The only requirements are that the parent must be a UVSC student and their children must attend the on-campus preschool run by the child development program, said Nancy Smith, UVSC's private scholarship coordinator. Smith said the assistance program is meant for parents who find it hard to attend school. The Jackson Howard scholarship allows parents to drop their children off in either the morning or the afternoon for a 2 12 hour block of time. Currently 18 children between the ages of three and five attend both the morning and afternoon sessions. The scholarship covers the $325 per semester fee.

On the application check the Jackson Howard box. under the private fund scholarships. In addition to the scholarship application, one seeking assistance must fill out the federal financial aid forms. Smith said that the financial aid and scholarship office is now having all students applying for privately funded scholarships to fill out the federal aid form as part of the application process. Since the Jackson Howard Pre-school Assistance Program is tailored to assist low- and middle-income students, they must demonstrate need to receive assistance. The program not only enables students to attend class, but also advances the development of their child, since they will have more opportunities to interact with children of their own age. Many experts have said that such socialization helps children better adapt to kindergarten and elementary school.

She has been involved ' with the Outdoor Recreation departments at Utah State University and The University of Utah, both are schools which have sponsored the film festival. Upon transferring to UVSC. Reynolds made it a priority to bring the festival with her. The festival is relatively unknown to the Utah Valley audience. Reynolds hopes that the festival will gain the same reputation as the Warren Miller films that are shown here each year. Plans arc already being made to bring the festival back next year. The festival tour includes approximately six hours of the best films that were submitted. The films shown al the Regan theater Tuesday were' selected for cultural content as well as length. Due to time restraints not all of the films on the tour were able to be shown. Because of the great turnout to this year's festival, plans are being made to show next years films on two different evenings.

The agreement will enable UVSC students who have completed their Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degrees to transfer to BYU-llawaii with all general education (GK) requirements satisfied. The l,I)S church's institution will also grant credit for majors' courses with a C grade or better. Courses of a remedial nature however, such as classes at the 099 level, will not be transferable. Until now. no kind of agreement existed between the two schools, and all transferable credits were reviewed on an indiv idual basis. According to Dr. Lucille Stoddard, vice president of academic affairs at UVSC. this is something the Hawaii school has wanted for a while. "They like our program, and Ihey have been very eager to have our students." she said. BVU-I lawaii offers more than 25 bachelor's programs. The transfer agreement only applies when students have already completed their UVSC degree before transferring over. In any case, the new agreement will definitely have a positive affect on students here at UVSC.
