Slide into SA 9 Show features government activities by Helen Patel Resembling Rambo, the image of a bandoliered, rugged warrior, at- tending a Halloween party flashed across the screen while the Longhorn Band played in the background. Wal- ly Pryor, the voice of CIT football, cited numerous facts and figures. Thus began the Students ' Associa- tion Communication Committee ' s slide show, designed to acquaint in- coming freshmen with student government. The slide show included pictures of the association ' s seven committees. The Citizen ' s Affairs Committee ' s voter registration drive, the Con- sumer Affairs Committee ' s Room- mate exchange and the Student Services Committee ' s food and clothing drive were among the proj- ects featured by the presentation. We also had pictures of the Stu- dent Involvement Night held at the Top: Kelly Leach, business junior, prepares material for the slide show.

Bottom: Tracy Higgins, psychology sophomore, and Douglas Kuenstler, finance junior, sort out the slides. beginning of each semester, Tracy Higgins, psychology sophomore, said. The show also explained the election process. Students were invited to sign up for a committee after the show. I think the show acquainted students with a student government that they can get involved in, Hig- gins said. They saw both what they could do with us and what we could do for them, she said.

Power of plastic by Laurie Rosenbower Twenty-seven Austin-area mer- chants combined forces with the Students ' Association Consumer Affairs Committee to offer the Stu- dent Discount Card. With the $5000 raised from the card, scholarships were awarded to outstanding students by the committee. The card, which could be used at businesses ranging from op- tometrists to Bevo ' s Bookstore and Committee helps students save cash, earn awards Mad Dog and Bean ' s was sold during fall registration and adds and drops for $3. We gave out 10 $250 awards of merit to students who were going to be sophomores and juniors, and five $500 awards of distinction were given to seniors, graduate students and law students, John Westfield, graduate student in public affairs, said. That is the most any student organization has given out. We are very proud of that achievement especially during a time when we were attacked as not being visible, Westfield said. The committee handed out the scholarships in conjunction with the Ex-Students Association at the awards banquet held in the fall. Because of the expertise of the Ex-Students Association in awarding scholarships, we co-sponsored the project with them, Westfield said. They were an integral part of the program. They handled the ad- ministrative things such as cor- respondence, Westfield said. Our purpose wasn ' t to make money from the merchants. The students and the merchants are both very happy with the card, Westfield said.

Developed by the Texas Union Student Services Committee, this free guide, available during orienta- tion, had the answer to almost any question someone new to Austin might have had. Since most incoming students are not from Austin, we tried to col- lect information about everything in Austin from florists, restaurants and malls, to how to set up your telephone, Larry White, accounting junior, said. Also included in the guide were apartment and banking guides. This was the first time that the complete guide would be available, but the third year that the banking guide had been available. The committee began talking about the idea of a complete annual guide last May, but it didn ' t become a reality until this year. After Dick Lytle, general manager of Texas Student Publications, ap- proved the idea, Jeff Rasansky, finance real estate junior, organized a committee to work on the project. With the help of the TSP advertis- ing staff, the firm of Weldon Wells was hired to do the advertising. The firm sold $ 10,000 worth of ads to pay for the printing of the guide. We had 10,000 copies printed, and the advertising paid for it all, White said. Although we didn ' t plan it as a fundraiser, some funds were returned to the Students ' Association. Besides hiring an advertising staff, the committee also hired an artist to design a cover for the guide. The committee ' s ultimate goal is to make the guide available to non- students by selling it in book stores, White said. Tom Hofty. Carolyn Thurmond. JtffDmot .
