Special to the J-TAC
The TSU University Women's
Forum is providing a Non-traditional
Student Scholarship for 1995-96.
Any Tarleton non-traditional student
who is currently enrolled in a mini-
mum of six semester hours, working
'toward an undergraduate degree and
planning to enroll in a minimum of
six semester hours in the fall may
apply for the $250 award.
The Women's Forum, a campus
.association of faculty numbers, ad-
sues and improving education for all
Tarleton students, has a long-stand-
ing interest in TSU's non-traditional
students. In 1989, they administered
a campus-wide survey to determine
non-traditional students' concerns.

Safe Break Week activities
set tempo for spring break,
offers safety reminders
By Traci Evans
Copy Editor
The most anxiously awaited seven
days of the spring semester are just a
week away.
While images of beaches, slopes
and parties are fresh on the minds of
many students the Student Program-
ming Association, Student Govern-
ment and Tarleton Peer Educators
are preparing a full week of activities
to kick off the Annual Safe Break
Week.
"Safe Break Week is held across
the country," says Janet Trepka, pro-
fessional counselor at the Student
Counseling Center. "It is an opportu-
nity to provide events for students to
make them aware of safety and to
help them make smart decisions dur-
ing spring break." f
Activities start Monday with a
beach party at the Oscar P.
From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. a live D.J.
will keep the music going while op-
portunities to play volleyball, sip
"mocktails" and jello or sumo wres-
tling will be open to students.
Featured jello wrestlers are Mr.
' and Miss TSU, John Crawson and
Kerri Singleton.
Also to commemorate the beach
experience, Peer Educators will be
selling leis made up of condoms and
safe sex tips.
As a reminder of the seriousness
of drunk driving, a monk cemetery
scene will be set up on Monday in
front of the library. The scene repre-
sents statistics from alcohol related
deaths in 1993.
Tuesday, the Crash Test Dum-
mies will be roaming the campus. At
noon there will be a speaker at the
Oscar P and free lunch.
From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednes-
day in the Ballroom of the Student
Developmental Center, students can
have their moment in the limelight
with Star Struck!, an i nteractive
video opportunity to croon to the
latest hits.
Thursday activites have not yet
been announced. The organizers plan
a suprise for students.
Trepka hopes through these ac-
tivities students will realize their op-
tions and think before they act "We
want them to have a great spring
break and be safe or safer," Trepka
said.

Conference showcased business, CIS programs
Business college juco meet attracts 13 participants
By Judy Schultz
Staff Writer
The Tarleton State University
College of Business Administration
held its first Junior College Business
Conference Friday
Key administrators and faculty
from 13 junior colleges attended.
These colleges included Navarro
College, Central Texas College,
TCJC Southwest, Northwest, and
South campuses, McLennan Com-
munity College, Ranger College,
Cisco Junior College, Vernon Re-
gional Junior College, Blinn College,
Kilgore College, Weatherford Col-
lege, and Hill College.
The purpose of this conference
was to let junior college officials
know aboutTSU'sprograms in busi-
ness and computer information sys-
tems and about the subsequent em-
ploymentopportunities for graduates.
Recruiting and strengthening work-
ing relationships between Tarleton
and other junior colleges was another
important goal.
According to Dr. Dan Collins,
dean of the College of Business Ad-
ministration,
'The College of Business Adminis-
tration at Tarleton is very excited
about this event. COB A has much to
offer and we want junior colleges to
see it firsthand."
Conference morning sessions
were held in the ballroom of the Stu-
dent Development Center with after-
nodn activities at the College of
Business Administration Building.
The morning programs included
information on admissions, financial
aid, student services, College of Busi-
ness Administration degree programs
and core requirements, and informa-
tion on the various programs in the
departments in the College of Busi-
ness Administration.
Emphasis was on the 2 + 2 articu-
lation plans already set up with sev-
eral of the colleges attending. This is
an agreement that Tarleton makes
with a college to accept certain
courses into TSU's degree plan which
makes for an easier transition for
students from junior colleges to the
university.
Campus tours were conducted
after lunch. Informal tours of the
College of Business Administration
also occurred which included all de-
partments, labs, and student organi-
zations. Participants viewed exhibits
and demonstrations and visited with
faculty and students. Some of tjie
exhibits included displays from the
Non-Traditional Student Association,
ROTC, Recruiting, Data Processing
Management Association, Account-
ing and Finance, Computer Informa-
tion Systems, Marketing Manage-
ment, Institute of Management Ac-
countants, Accounting Society, and
Small Business Development Cen-
ter.
