Shirley Wilson, IUK Director of Personnel, ex- plains that stress can be hamessed. The brown bag luncheons were held in the student commons at noon on Thursdays.

Topics at these luncheons ranged from Alcohol Abuse to Affirmative Action. The speakers who conducted the luncheons were either from IUK or members of the community. The speakers included: lane Adcock, IUK director of Career Placement, lohn Craig, IUK Director of Counseling, Steve Taylor, Vice-president of Mort- gage Loans, First National Bankg Herb Miller, Affirmative Action Officer, Shirley Wilson, IUK Director of Personelg and Bob jackson, IUK speech instructor. lanie Adcock spoke on such topics as 'l'm in School, Now What?'f and Returning Adult Women, Can l Compete? lohn Craig spoke about Alcohol Abuse and the students' re- sponsibility to control it. Steve Taylor spoke about how to develop an effec- tive budget on a students' sometimes limited income. Herb Miller spoke about persons rights under the affirma- tive action laws. Shirley Wilson con- ducted a luncheon on stress, with Bob jackson completing the series with a workshop on listening. Debbie Clason, IUK Student Activit- ies Coordinator said, HI feel that each luncheon was a success in itself, but I do wish we had had better attendance. loe Dishon, co-president of lUK's Student Union Board, which sponsors the brown bag luncheon se- ries noted that the lack of attendance may be due to the newness of the se- ries when he said, 'il feel that students just weren't aware enough of what was going on at these luncheons to really want to get involved, but maybe after the word gets out they will be more popular.
