Club forming for grads By Ken Stiggers These days the Graduate Stu dent Union is in the embryonic stage, stressing outreach for a graduate community. THe organization actually existed during the early 1970 s and dissolved in the late 19705. Then, during the Fall 1983 semester, a sympathetic facul ty member, Robert W. Col eman of the psychosocial science graduate program, listened to the concerns of his graduate students and sug gested that they use the Graduate Student Lounge for their meetings. Reorganization of the Graduate Student Union resulted from the efforts of Rosemary Pauline, Ron Uroda and other grad students in the psychosocial program. These concerned students submitted a budget along with a set of by laws to the Student Govern ment Association, and as of this year four students volunteered as acting officers: Bill Eason- Chairperson, Rosemary Pauline- Vice Chairperson, Ron Uroda- Board Treasurer, and Chris Barrett- Board Secretary. The advisor is Diane Edwards, Graduate Admissions Counselor. For the 1984-85 academic year, the organization will conduct elections according to their by-laws. According to the by-laws of the Graduate Student Union, these are the aims and pur poses: to promote contact among the graduate students of Capitol Campus; to enrich the lives of all members of the university community through the sponsorship of films, trips and social events;, to work on issues pertinent to interests and concerns of the graduate stu dent population; and to main tain a lounge for interaction with other students, professors and administrators. More representation from the ten graduate programs and interaction with 90 percent of the commuting graduate stu dents are the concerns of the Graduate Student Union. As a part of the outreach program, the organization will try to ar range convenient meeting times for the commuting and on campus grad students. The meetings will be held on the first Thursday of each month in the Vault of the Lion's Den. Also, the Graduate Student Union plans to have a covered dish supper for all Capitol Campus grad students and new students from 7 to 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 7, in the student center of the Multi-Purpose Building.
