20—The Daily Collegian Thursday, Dec. 10, 1981 Student calendar group may publish newsletter • By ANNE CONNERS Daily Collegian Staff Writer When the University changes to a semester calendar in 1983, there is going to be a lot of confusion in the minds of a lot of people including students. To keep students informed about the calendar change, the Student Committee on Calendar Conversion last night agreed to publish a newsletter if funding is available. The first publication will be produced at the end of Winter Term, and after that it•will be printed once a term, said Chris Hopwood, president of the Undergraduate Student Government's Academic Assembly. University President John W. Oswald has announced that the University will change to a semester calendar in the fall of 1983. - . . . Hopwood said the newsletter will be directed to students who are now freshmen and sophomores, and will be mailed to their residence halls or apartments. While the first issue of the newsletter will explain the calendar change to students, subsequent issues will keep them updated on policy changes affecting them, Hopwood said. Although the committee was formed by I.JSG and the Association of Residence Hall Students on Sept. 22, last night's meeting was its first. Hopwood said extra time was needed so the group could find out "what our purpose was " The committee consists of two to three members from each of the 10 organizations represented on USG Executive Council. Even though 10 organizations compose the council, at last night's meeting only five organizations the Interfraterni ty Council, ARHS, the USG Senate, the Council of Branch Campus Student Governments and Academic Assembly were represented on the committee. Funds for the project will be solicited from Associated Student Activities and other sources, Hopwood said. Hopwood is the sole student representative on the Cal endar Conversion Council the body which will be imple menting the calendar change. Some women hesitant to use PSU commission By DINA DEFABO Daily Collegian Staff Writer Although the University Commission for •Wompn was estab lished as a forum for women's concerns and issues, a Universi ty employee said yesterday that some women clerical workers may hesitate to bring their concerns to the commission. Edie Herron, a systems analyst, said some clerical workers may feel intimidated by the commission because all the commission's members are professional women and because they fear they will lose their jobs by voicing their opinion. After an informational presentation about the commission titled, "A Conversation with the University Commission for Women," Herron said some clerical workers cannot relate to the professional staff at the University. Although they are categorized as staff members, some clerical workerg do not consider themselves as such, she said. One employee, who asked not to be identified, said, "They •...4•• • .i, • • 1 Landscapes Coastal Scenes ART RE • ,• • .. . .• . • •• •... ..•. .
