Jeff Burningham has been named the UTC PRESS Athlete of the Week, due to his heroics during the North Idaho game, the last game of the 1986-87 season. See details on page 6. I i " i - i u ljw "'" ' ' ' "N Utah Technical Monday, March 9, 1987 Drug and Alcohol Awareness Week Held bv James Roberts The problem of drug abuse among teenagers and college students has become so prevalent lately that it is quickly becoming the number one national interest. To help in the effort of educating the youth today of the imminent dangers and possible problems involved with drug use, the Student Activities Committee at Utah Technical College sponsored last week a seminar to inform the students at this institution about drug and alcohol use and abuse. The seminar, produced by the College Sports Network, approached the topics of "Recreation Drug Use," "Drugs and Athletes," "Politics . and Drugs," and "Student Use of Drugs During Extracurricular Activities." Although the subject matter was intriguing, and the videos well-produced; the attendance was lacking, and Student Services Director Tom Hover said he was somewhat disappointed with the lack of Chappell Brings bv Connie W. Keamev Dick Chappell, vice president for Administrative Services, brings to his position a vast knowledge and years of experience in planning and administrating college growth and curriculum. In his present position, he is responsible for the administration and motivation of the Business Office, Physical Plant, Facilities Planning and Construction Department, Computer Services, Financial Aids, and various other departments within the institution. Chappell sees his main function as coordinating and supporting his departments in doing their work. "There are capable people here," he says, "They are doing a good job and have a lot of ideas. I help them organize their ideas and keep all the departments working together for the long term goals of the college." Before coming to UTC in 1982, Chappell was dean of Instructional Services at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. For two years before it opened, he was on the planning committee. He planned the curriculum, hired faculty, formulated objectives, planned the landscaping as well as the decor for the new building. "It was an exciting time," Chappell recalls, "To be in on the ground floor of something that big and new was a great experience. We had over 150 million in bonds to open three new campuses." The University of Texas has a billion dollar endowment, which is the second largest university endowment in the country (Harvard is the largest). The interest income is over a U.T.C. PRISSY College ProvoOrem, Box 1609, support. The Student Activities Commitee in conjunction with the Counseling Center is planning a series of health awareness seminars to be presented quarterly to inform students about this and other issues (AIDS, alcohol, etc). Hover said that he hoped in the future that more students would choose to participate in these activities, and that the faculty would be more supporting of the seminars. As an added incentive, the Activities Committee provided free lunches to the first 50 people in attendancee. This bonus didn't help increase attendance figures. In Wednesday's presentation, "Drug and Athletes," the video contained such famous figures as Brian Bosworth and the president of the NCAA. The discussion was aimed at why athletes use drugs. Did these athletes feel as though they were being picked on because they are national figures? The general consensus million dollars a year. This money is in addition to state funding. He served 11 years at the University of Texas, where he received his MBA in Management. He received his Ph.D in Educational Administration from Columbia Pacific University. UTC President J. Marvin Higbee was also affiliated in the planning phase of the new University of Texas campus. It was his call to Chappell, telling him of the potential growth and opportunities at UTC, which got him interested enough to apply for the Administrative Services position. The greatest difference between the colleges, he states (excluding the budgets), is that the faculty and staff at UTC are sincerely dedicated to the college and work hard for students and the college to be successful. University of Texas was a great place, he feels, but often theirs was not the unselfish dedication he finds at UTC. Chappell is optimistic about the future of the college and hopes that it will bring more technology in teaching. "There are great things happening with technology in the classroom," he says. "I want UTC to be part of that. The students deserve the best." An example of the technology he would like to see is the Interaction Video Disk, a desk computer. The instructor programs his lecture along with any slides or other visual aids helpful to the student. Each student runs the program from Jieir individual seats. They can ask the instructor questions through the computer and he can respond through the computer. "This kind of technology," says Members of the UTC Smoking Club are angry over a memorandum written by UTC President J. Marvin Higbee regarding the smoking lounge. See page 5 for the entire story.

The athletes almost unanimously agreed that they were chosen because they were constantly in the spotlight. They also said that not nearly as many athletes use drugs as the average Joe down the street. Brian Bosworth stressed the fact that sometimes drugs are a constructive thing when used with the explicit permission of a physician, and under close supervision. He also questioned the NCAA drug rulings that oppose tcriodj, yet liave n , stipulations regarding marijuana. He referred to it as a "strange ruling," since steriods can be used positively and marijuana has no practical use. Although the seminar were not widely attended, those in attendance were pleased with the presentations. Always interesting and packed with information, the videos had a lot to offer. Diverse Chappell, "brings learning on a one to one basis and frees the instructor to answer problems rather than spending his energy lecturing." The computer also monitors grades and keeps records for the instructor. Dick Currently the new science building will be ready for bids by July. Chappell feels it will be a great asset to the school and says it is fully funded, unlike the Administration Building, where three million dollars was cut before it was completed.

Chappell graduated with his B.S. in Business Education from Utah State University, where he was Computer Center director and associate university librarian Chappell at Utah State.
