STUDENT FE's UNDER THE GUN by tim Stephens asuci vice-president for administration

On this coming Thursday, November 9, the Irvine Division of the Academic Senateis going to meet. They will be meeting at 3 p.m. in Social Science Lecture Hall. One of the items buried deep in their agenda is the consideration of two opposing reports and attached recommendations concerning the Student Recommended Faculty Program (SRFP). During this past summer an ad hoc committee of the Senate wasestablished to review theSRFP withinstructions to produce a report and a recommendation for action. This

committee was composedof three faculty andone student.At the conclusion of the committee's deliberations it was found that aneven split existed in the committee,one side favoring revision and the other termination. Whatever the Academic Senate decides on Thursday will only he in the form of a recommendation to the Chancellor. The faculty will have to make a decision Thursday as to whether or not they wish the students to continue to exercise the power of recommendation over two percent of theIrvine faculty. Three years ago, when this program was instituted, it was indeed one of the most innovative and ambitious programs to be found anywhere in the country in theareaof student participation. The program has had to face andsolve many very difficult problems during its existence. As director of the program last year,I encountered more problems thenIever expected. But these problems were for the most part solved. Last year we succeededin our attempt to involvemore students in the program. Last year we did succeed in recommending a list of candidates whom we felt would add to the educational experiencethat the students of this campus were to receive this year. Last year as director Isaw areas in which the program could be strengthened and perfected proceduraly. Last year the cooperationbetween the administration and the ASUCI came together and allowed the program to be as big of a success as it was/is. Ihave a personal commitment to the Student Recommended Faculty Program. Iknow that Ishare this commitment with the students and faculty who worked on the program last year. Ibelieve that this commitment is also shared by the student body at large. This is not the time for wild accusations to be hurledback and forthbetween the peoplefavoringcontinuation and those supporting termination. Iask andinvite those students who are serious about the program and its future to attend the Academic Senate meeting. Ialso ask that any student who does attend the meeting will conduct him or herself in a courteous and rational manner. We have a problem before us which demands resolution. We shall have that resolution and when the dust settles the decision will be made in our favor. ~

Thanks to Governor Reagan,UC students will be paying the $100 per quarter educationalfee again next year.In June, he vetoednewly-appropriated monies to eliminatetuition at UC. "We did institute tuition for the University," explainedReagan in a.June 22, '71,speech to SanFrancisco's Commonwealth club. "It was a long and bloody battleand the administratorsstill won't call it tuition, but it is in fact, tuition. It seems to me that it is a sensible taxingpolicy toask those who benefit most by a service to pay at least a portion of that service." Most UC students can easily afford the cost of tuition. According to data from last year's Student Resources Survey, 73% of UC students are ineigiblc for financial aid.65% come from families with a median income of $18,500. Bui for thousands of other low and middle income students both those presently attending and those academically-qualified — to attend UC tuition is a burden. It wasn't supposed to be. When imposed by the Regents, it was generallyunderstood, but not promised, that the hulk of tuition revenues should help students with financial need. Instead, the Regents have diverted the monies to replace Reagan's slashes in the

XJCI Health Center brings Students better medical care by robert geskin

If you don't give a damn about your health, no one else

will! You have a fantastic opportunity in which you can maintain and improve your present health at UCI. It is the Student Health Service. The center is located just off Campus Dr. in front of Verano Place. The phone number is 833-5301. The center is open 24 hours a day, and a nurse is on duty in theemergency room at all times. Doctors are available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. When a student comes to the health center, heor sheis seen first by a doctor in the general clinic. Then, if the doctor feels that it is necessary, the student will be referred to an appropriate specialist. Dr. .J.R. Erskine Morden. who is the Assistant Director of the Student Health Center,spends most of his time in the clinic. He answers questions concerning the center, handles complaints, and fills in where needed. The clinic has the equivalent service of four full time doctors. The most common illness seen at the clinic, according to Dr. Morden. is an upper respiratory infection. The nursing staff, which includes twelve R.N.'s and one L.V.N.. is headed by Mrs. Norma Grundy. Mrs. Grundy is kind, sensitive, and is a person with whom it is easy to talk. The night nurse is onduty 1

Bin what about those l.(. students who need aid and were (umed away for lack of funds? Because no records are kept, it is very difficult to estimate the extent of UNMKT need from this source.

Dr. Thompson; who rounded the contraception clinic, is in charge of the OB-Gyn. staff. There are three gynecologists at the center 'this year. The contraception clinic consists of lab work, a Pap smear, a gyn. exam, and a group session with a doctor and anurse. A coed can then obtain a prescription for birth control. There is presently a $15 charge for the contraception clinic. Another area in which students pay for services rendered is the dental clinic. Thedental clinic is headed by Dr. Zimmer. There are ten dentists who work at the clinic, and all practice within the community. There is also an oral surgeon who is on campus once every two weeks, and there are two dental assistants. The lees charged arc the lowest possible rates. Specialists are available in dermatology. K. N.T., cardiology, and gastroenterology as well. If needed, the costs to an outside doctor will be covered. However, this determination must be made by a doctor at the Health Center. Other departments include an infirmary providing overnight care, a clinical laboratory, physical therapy, x-ray, and a pharmacy 833-5304). The pharmacy is run by Walter Wine. He told me that the pharmacy tries to serve students with a smile and with a minimum of waiting. Ihave always found this to be true. The pharmacy is open until 4: 30 p.m. Thereis a substantial saving on everything from prophylactics to vitamins. Tetracycline capsules which cost up to 15-20c outside cost 4 C each at the pharmacy here. iNow lor some additional notes. The Student Health Advisory Committee is working with the doctors at the Health Center to bring the students better health care. The members of the committee disseminate information about the Health Center and collect suggestions for improvement from the students. There will be short articles on health topics forthcomingin the New University. At the end of each article, questions and the answers to those questions will be printed The questions can be about the article or any health topic. Please address questions concerning this article or the Student Health Advisory Committee to: SHAC care ol Robert (a'skin.

We know what has been done under lour years of Orange County's favorite son. We have seen the economy go from bad to worse, his wage and price controls are a farce, lor one person togointo a market wit ha tendollar bill and expect to buy food for a week is sheer fantasy.

However, it is a sad but simple fact of life that in order tobecome a major candidate for the presidency and have any real chance of winning, one has to play politics.
