Council initiates programs
UPC begins summer activities with music festival
By LADONNA ALMAGUER
Staff Writer
This semester marks the first time NT
will have a full-time, student-run Union
Program Council during the summer, said
Kathie Parsons, the UPC’s fall chairman.
Parsons, coordinator of activities for
the summer, said a hootenanny (a folk
music festival) is planned for June 15.
THE UPC WILL provide free water-
melon on the library mall while bands
play folk music. The bands' performances
will run from 6-8 p.m. but persons in-
terested in playing are invited to perform.
Parsons said students who bring instru-
ments will be invited to have an "open
pick" and play their own music.
The summer UPC will be handled dif-
ferently than the tall or spring UPC. Par-
sons said. Last fall between 80 and 90
people were actively involved in the UPC
but in the summer she expects fewer peo-
ple to take part. Since fewer people are
involved, the process for selecting enter-
tainment will be different.
During regular semesters 10 commit-
tees set up programs, each in a specific
area. The entertainment selections from
each committee arc then taken before the
officers and committee chairpersons.
THIS SUMMER, however, only one
committee will be formed and the UPC
will decide as a whole what entertainment
will be scheduled.
Parsons said an attempt was made to
organize a summer programming coun-
cil last year, but the council was run by
staff members rather than students and
the programming was limited to off-
campus trips to amusement parks. This
year the summer UPC would like to or-
ganize more structured activities, Parsons
said.
“We’d like to set up activities that will
run annually, like the hootenanny," Par-
sons said. “We want programming that
can be built on each summer."
In addition to the hootenanny, the
summer UPC plans on scheduling Thurs-
day night programming at the Rock Bot-
tom Lounge. Although the Union will
be open only until 5 p.m. on weekdays,
Parsons said the UPC has received clear-
ance to keep the RBL open until mid-
night each Thursday if programming has
been scheduled.
PARSONS SAID other plans the UK'
has for this summer include trips to White
Water and Six Flags in Arlington, mov-
Skills aid hearing loss
Class offers training
A free class to help hard-of-hearing individuals
understand and cope with hearing losses w ill be offered
in Fort Worth beginning Tuesday by the NT Speech
and Hearing Center, in cooperation with the Texas
College of Osteopathic Medicine.
The four-week course will be taught at TCOM
from 10:15 to 11:45 a.in. each Tuesday from June 7
through June 28. Dr. Miriam Henoch, assistant pro-
fessor and coordinator of audiology at NT, will teach
the course.
Persons may enroll by calling (817) 735-2552 at
TCOM.
in addition to teaching individuals how to cope
with hearing losses, the class offers special instruc-
tion in listening and visual skills.
"The classes will teach people how to use hear-
ing they have as well as how to use visual cues to
help them understand conversation." Henoch said.
The classes will teach students how the environment
can help them better follow what is being said.
“Too often, people who have a hearing loss are
not aware of their surroundings," Henoch said. “They
don’t pay attention to cues in their environment that
might help them.”
Henoch said people can use visual cues, such as
lipreading, and facial expressions or gestures to make
up for a hearing loss. She said the class also will
include teaching the importance of location, such as
at a party or a football game, in determining what is
said in conversation.
Henoch said family members and friends of hard-
of-hearing persons also are encouraged to take the
class.
Other services, such as hearing and hearing aid
evaluations, are possible through the NT center s pi-
lot program at TC'OM. These services will be offered
at a sliding fee schedule, but the four-week course
is free.
Regents give committee
authority to sell property
The Board of Regents authorized its Facilities
Committee to sell the house and property at 3300
Santa Monica at its meeting May 13. a move which
Fred Pole, vice president of administrative affairs,
said was a mere formality.
Before the house, which has been on the market
for two years, can be sold, its sale must be approved
by the Board of Regents. The Facilities Committee,
chaired by NT regent Bruce Street, now has the power
to sell the house, but Pole said the committee would
