From left, Superintendant of Public Schools, Carolyn Warner, the Student Regent from NAU, Kathleen Clark and NAU President Eugene Hughes, share a light moment during the February regents m eeting last Saturday in Tucson. f o u r e m p l o y m e n t r o u t e s A presentation by NAU President—£ugene Hughes Saturday convinced the Arizona flbard of Regents to approve the creation of a Centyfor Excellence in Education at NAU. * The State Legislature will be asked toHmd the initial $1 million needed to open the centepHughes said during the February- regents meeting at the University of Arizona. The center’s purpose will be to join personnel from public schools, university business, indu-Jry and state agencies in a cooperative effort to improve education in the state, Hughes said. The NAU center will be similar to cenZ&s in business, engineering and Hispanic studies in operation at Arizona State University and the U of A. “With mounting evidence of improvement in Arizona’s economy, this year is as opportune time to begin the renewal of the state’s education system,” Hughes said. “The center will be recognized for quality preparation of teachers and administrators and development of high quality curricular products,” Hughes said. He said due to the creation of the center, NAU’s graduates will be in high demand because of their ability to perform effectively in the classroom. “Clearly, I will support this program,” said Superintendent of Public Schools Carolyn Warner. “ We have needed a center for excellence in education for a long time. ” “I think President Hughes is putting the focus on where education ought to be,” said Regent William Payne. “ It’s a step in the right direction.” “The Center for Excellence in Education will provide NAU with a unique statewide mission and a leadership role in public education not only in Arizona, but throughout the state as well,” Hughes said. N A U o f f e r s Laura Resek Staff Reporter NAU provides four difierent kinds of employment for students, said Alan Shipley, director of financial aid. These are the college work study program, the NAU student employment (Student Wage I. the cafeteria employment program and off-campus Employment. TTie work study program was started in 1%5 by the federal government. The government pays 80 percent of the student’s wage and the university or an off campus employment agency pays the other 20 percent. The college work study program is for students in financial need. A student must fill out the American College Testing (ACTI Packet to prove financial need. Approximately 650 students are on the college work study program. Some of the jobs available in the program are clerical positions, grounds crew, custodians and library workers. Most students don’t work more than 20 hours per week. The work schedule coincides with the students class schedule. The student employment program is funded by the state and the university and is not necessarily for those in financial need. Shipley said. Students who are on financial aid can not qualify for a student wage job. Student wage jobs are controlled by each department. The department makes the decisions on hiring and students should look for jobs in various colleges and departments. The individual departments are not required to list their job openings wtih the student employment office although some do. Shipley said. The salaries start at $3.3.> but can go as high as $7.60 depending on the job, Shipley said. Another kind of employment for students is the cafeteria employment program sponsored by Professional Food Management IPFMI. PFM hires students to work in the cafeterias, concession stands and catering services. Students wishing to work in one of these areas should contact a cafeteria mananger or the managers of the catering and concession stands. The off-campus Employment agency works by having students fill out cards according to their skills. The agency matches the skill cards of the students with job openings in the community. The agency then sends students on interviews. Shipley said. He said financial aid is not a requirement of the off campus employment agency . Shipley said. There are approximately 500 to 600 students on the off campus employment. Shipley said. The pay, hours and benefits are negotiated by the employer and student. Shipley said. ‘Jobs are a benefit to the student and the department, cafeteria or employer, he said. “I encourage students to work part time on campus. There s a big block of time that students aren t in class. “ National studies of the college work study program have shown that students tend to have a better GPA and kmer drop out rate than students that who don’t work.'’ Shipley said. Students tend to overlook utility costs Steve Williams Stall Reporter The cost of utilities—it is something many on-campus students fail to appreciate. Because they do not receive an actual bill, students in residence halls often consider their utilities “free.” “Whether they think it or not. students do pay for their utilities,” said Dave Schultz, associate director of Residence Life. “The cost of the utilities is built into the rent chance the students pav.” Shultz and others at Residence Life are planning an energy awareness campaign for the spring semester. Through both physical improvements and an informational campaign. Residence Life hopes to cut energy costs on campus. “We had an energy awareness week last year that wasn’t extremely productive,” Schultz said. "Now. the energy awareness idea will be ongoing throughout the semester.” Many physical improvements are in the planning stage that will conserve water, heat and electricity, Schultz said. The plumbing systems in Allen, Cowden. High Rise, Sechrist. Tinsley and W ilson halls will be improved. New valves will be put in the showers to save water. “ In the past, residents of Sechrist have had to turn on two or three showers to get hot water.” Schultz said. “The new valves will fix this problem. ” Also, new water-heating systems, which will heat more efficiently, will be installed in several residence halls. The old radiators in the north campus halls will also be changed. New thermostat valves will keep the radiators at predetermined levels. “W e’re also upgrading the ventilation in some of the high rise halls.” A few' improvements already completed are new windows in Taylor Hall and new weatherstriping in the doors of several other halls. “Hopefully, these moves will save us energy,” Schultz said. “Were trying to improve on the areas we can control. ” He added Residence Life must depend on the students to conserve on an individual basis. “We re going to be publicizing ideas on energy conservation,” Schultz said. Keeping thermostats at high levels and excessive waste of water were pointed out by Schultz as common consumption problems. “We really can save energy without putting a lot out.” Schultz said. “ It’s easier than we think.” Inside Campus D ispatch......

One is the upgrading of the university telecommunications system. Approval was given for phase one of this three part project, which is hiring a consultant to analyze the problem and submit upgrading recommendations. The NAU telephone system is based on a IT-year-old Centrex switch which is being taxed beyond its capacity and is unable to serve the communication and data distribution requirements of the university, according to a report prepared for the regents. The report said the unit is being serviced with parts cannibalized from discarded units since the o rig inal e q uipm e nt is no longer being manufactured. In addition to an unacceptable level of service, high cost of maintenance, lack of growth potential, lack of appropriate technology for long distance calling and complexities resulting from reorganization of the telephone company, it is imperative the system be analyzed and replaced, the report said. The consulting firm chosen is Telecommunications International Inc. The fixed price of the contract is $108,000 plus expenses not to exceed $16,200. This firm will analyze institutional telecommunications needs, usage, costs and develop an integrated plan for telephone and data comAiunica-tions systems, the report said. Following review and approval of the plan, the consultant will develop specifications, assist with bidding and supervise equipment installation to ensure a complete working system. Project cost for the entire system replacement is in the range of $3 million to $4 million. The second project is to implement a program of group automobile insurance with the California Casualty insurance company for employees of NAU with premiums to be paid through payroll deductions. A report prepared for the regents said Arizona State University and the University of Arizona currently have group automobile insurance programs while NAU would be offering the program for the first time. NAU also reported the gift of property to the university. The school has received a gift of a parcel of pro- [M»rty adjacent to the Latter Day Saints Student Center and the Newman Center, according to a report prepared for the regents. The property will be used primarily to develop an improved, all-weather access road to Roseberry hall and the parking lot adjacent to it, the report said. The only access currently is temporary and through the courtesy of an adjacent landowner. The gift comes from the original holdings of the chambers family, near the university campus, and results from the generosity of M an Chambers Malmgren, Helen Chambers McPherson and Rita Chambers Gannon, the report said. It went on to say the gift was required with the assistance of Jack Malmgren and Joe Riordan who were both instrumental in determining the legalities and assisting with completion of the necessary records for the property.
