Systemwide staff group to meet
at UCSC
UCSC will host a three-day meeting of UC Staff Assemblies (CUCSA), the UC systemwide staff organization, beginning on February 10.
Chancellor M.R.C. Greenwood will welcome CUCSA members when they arrive;
Paul Schwartz, communications director for human resources and labor relations
in the UC Office of the President, will address the gathering; UC Regents
Alfredo Terrazas and John G. Davies are scheduled to attend, as well as
Student Regent-designate Matthew Murray.
Agenda items include an update on the state budget and its impact on
the university and a report on a CUCSA discussion with Regent Ward Connerly
to establish a staff representative to the UC Board of Regents.
CUCSA is an advisory body made up of staff delegates from each of the
nine UC campuses, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory, and the Office of the President. CUCSA meets on a quarterly
basis, rotating among campuses, to discuss issues of importance to staff
and to provide feedback to the Office of the President on these issues.
UCSC representatives to the council are Staff Advisory Board (SAB) members
Patt Takeuchi, financial planning analyst, and Ed Titus, campus telecommunications
manager. To reach the SAB, send e-mail to Titus at etitus@ucsc.edu.

Running clinics open to novices
and veterans
UCSC men's cross-country coach Jeff Arnett and veteran team members are
offering two running clinics. The focus will be on preparing
runners for the 10 or 5K Slug Run on April 19. Clinics include video
form analysis, plyometrics, strength training, and mental preparation.
Workouts will include hills, interval, tempo runs, and long Sunday runs
(optional). There will be at least one run of the Slug Run courses (5
or 10K). A great opportunity for both novice runners and veterans who
want to refine
their running skills.
The fee is $20 for UCSC students, staff, and faculty, and $30 for community
members. Two consecutive Saturdays: February 8 and 15, from 10 a.m. to
noon. Preregister in person at the Recreation Office, or call (831) 459-2806
to register by phone, or come to the first clinic. For more information,
