challenges during the year ahead, as well as citing points of progress. If you
were not able to attend or would like to see the notes from his presentation,

Delta Symposium meeting is Thursday
The first fall semester meeting of the committee organizing "Delta
Symposium X: The 1950s" is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 28, at 3:30 p.m.
in Wilson 315. Anyone interested in helping to organize this annual
conference should attend. For further information, contact
delta@astate.edu.
Student Health Center to move this
fall
The
Student Health Center is anticipating a move to the new facility the end
of October, or early November. (The new facility will also house First
Care, a physician group and clinic of St. Bernards, as well as a Sports
Medicine Center.) The Student Health Center will include four exam
rooms, a lab, observation room, a conference room, nursing area, and a
pharmacy for students. (ASU is one of only two institutions in the state
that has an on-campus pharmacy for students). Once the move into the new
facility is complete, the former clinic will be renovated to accommodate
academic advising.
Disaster drill serves important purposes
The
safety of ASU students, faculty and staff is the primary reason ASU is updating
and improving its emergency operations plan. An exercise on campus last
Monday, Aug. 25, gave the ASU Emergency Operations Planning Committee an
opportunity to test certain aspects of the plan. ASU worked closely with
city, county and state emergency response teams, as well as the Center for National
Response and the 61st Civil Support Team from the Arkansas National Guard.
Several students from Residence Life served as "victims" for the drill.
The benefit of such a plan, of course, is to help everyone be better prepared in the event of an actual emergency. Participants
termed it a very valuable experience because it helped the committee identify strengths in
the plan, as well as weaknesses where revisions are needed. The committee
appreciates the university community's cooperation with the drill.
