Delegates to attend USSA congress in Connecticut The ASUO will send seven delegates to the 41st an nual national congress of the United States Student Association (USSA), July 22-27, at the University of Hartford, in West Hartford, Conn. The University’s delegation includes ASUO Presi dent Karen Gaffney and Vice President Steve Hoyt. The other five delegates are Armando Morales and Tim Hughes, both members of the Incidental Fee Commit tee, and Cathlin Williams, Deb Carter and Maria-Ana Carvajal-Christensen. “1 see this (the USSA congress) as an opportunity for the University to use its resources very effectively to shape where USSA will head for the rest of the year,” Gaffney said. USSA will plan its agenda for the 1988-89 academic year at the congress. At the convention, delegates from schools across the nation will meet in regional groups and caucuses to set plans and priorities on issues of student concern. This year, Gaffney expects the biggest issues raised at the USSA congress to be taxation waivers for graduate teaching fellows, child care, spousal equivalency for unmarried homosexual and heterosex ual couples, and recruitment and retention of students of color. In addition to representing University interests in the drafting of USSA’s agenda, Gaffney hopes to keep the University’s influence in USSA strong. “One of our goals, of course, is to maintain the strong position of the University in the national organization. Toward that end. Gaffney is encouraging Universi ty delegates to seek out leadership positions at the con gress. At home, she hopes to create a USSA internship within the ASUO program. Most members of the ASUO delegation left for Hartford early this morning. Gaffney, who serves on USSA's executive committee, flew out Wednesday for pre-congress meetings. After the convention's end, Gaffney. Hoyt and Morales will fly to Washington, D.C. to meet with Oregon congressional representatives, including Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., author of a congressional bill that would reenact the tuition tax waiver granted to graduate teaching fellows. roi ipon COUPON COUPON z o Cl D O o z o Q.

The Richard W. Lindholm Professorship was named for Lindholm, who was business college dean from 1958 to 1971. Lindholm retired in 1972, but still remains as a professor emeritus of finance. The professorship was steered on by James Warsaw, one of Lindholm's former students at the University. War saw now resides in Irvine, Calif., where he is a sports equipment businessman. Warsaw, and several other donors wishing to remain anonymous, contributed a substantial portion of the $500,000 needed to endow the professorship.
