The current officers are as follows: “Q’’ Gilkin, President; Gretchen Gatchel, Vice President; Jan Gillespie, Treasurer; and Jacqui Riess, Secretary. When asked if members of S.A.D.D. still like to party and have a good time, “Q’’ Gilken responded, ‘The law says it is illegal for anyone under twenty-one to drink. We are concerned with the people (everyone) driving after drinking. S.A.D.D. wants to educate people on the dangers of driving drunk, to have designated drivers, but not to stop the party. After all, isn’t life a party?” for adults returning to school, and to serve as an advocate for the non- traditional student on this campus. Adult students currently represent a full one-third of the student body here, with numbers increasing significantly each year. For example, enrollment in- creased from 474 students during the 1988-1989 school year to 643 during 1989-1990. Ninety-four percent of the adults at Delaware County Campus are pursuing their education on a part-time basis, defined by the University as registration for anything under 12 credits per semester. This is the largest percentage of any other campus in the Com- monwealth system. These students are enrolled in a wide variety of degree and non-degree programs with the largest majority non-degree students at pre- sent. The new baccalaureate degree in liberal arts (EGNAS), which is now available at Delaware County for adults, is receiving a great deal of attention as word of its existence spreads throughout the community. The advisor RR = 3 a Delcoites lounge on the Library steps while the weather still permits it. for the EGNAS program, Dr. George Franz, noted that dozens of individuals are currently at various stages of of- ficially coming into the major. Because most of the adults are on campus in the evening, every effort is being made to provide necessary pro- grams and services during these hours as well as during the day. Notice about these services will be communicated through this newspaper, though WHAT'S HAPPENING, our bi-weekly newsletter, and through notations on ‘bulletin board scattered throughout the campus. Adult students may pick up a copy of our new ADULT STUDENT GUIDE in Room 105/106 Main, anytime, or in the ASO Office in the Lion’s Den during the Commons hour any Monday, Wednes- day or Friday. The ASO is anxious to become ac- quainted with all adult students on cam- pus. During the day, they can stop by the ASO office in the Lion’s Den. If they can help you with any concerns, they would be most happy to do so. The first general meeting of the ASO for the 1990-1991 school year will be on Wednesday, September 26, when the Sandwich Club meets in the Commons Upstairs Lounge during the lunch hour, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. All adult students are invited to attend.
