Student activi After seven years of work in student activities, Tom Shandley is leaving USC to pursue a doctorate degree in higher education administration at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. While working on his degree, Shandley will be a consultant for the nnivprcitv'* ?tn. dent organization development center, which oversees the campus' 480 organizations. Shandley said the Minneapolis campus, with 52,(XX) students, is the largest in the country. That and the chance to combine work in his f ield with work on his degree provides an excellent opportunity, he said. "I ALWAYS expected to return to the Midwest." the Iowa native said, "and I want to get my degree from that area if I plan to work out in that area." Besides its attractive location, Minnesota offers an outstanding academic program with flexible course requirements for his degree, Shandley said.

"I've been planning on and working toward it for about a year." He said a degree from USC was possible for him, but the combination of going back to school and retaining his job as director of student activities would have been too much. "I LOVE it (his job in student activities), but 1 don't think I can do both at the same time," he said. "At Minnesota as a consultant, I won't have staff and facilities to oversee. "I'm looking forward to working with students again." Shandley said his current job prevents him from interacting regularly with students because he works mainly with staff members, who deal with students. His job begins on Sept. 1. DENNIS PRUITT, acting dean of student affairs, said he doesn't know who will replace Shandley, but plans to discuss possibilities with Shandley this week. vilians I A I Anno !EA1 ! 788-8055 I I ^ :s=TB T^cirou jk || Monday mi I 1 q ion || House >1 11 M) 11 for sal( II chance II vpprhn |25^^J| g J ^ v K I I 1 I PlfiPtRP ioe 5 1 book ft nit h a :?rials of the it at ? ?nter 5 ? ital 5 ta^on 1 f * Senior \ churches;^ | Union | 1 treet | L_?- , esigns to contii ; Pruitt called the director's resignation "a major loss" to the department.
