The new Orem campus of Utah Technical College at Provo - for many years merely a dream of those who had faith in the institution's future - is becoming a visible reality, according ac-cording to Utah Tech President Wilson W. Sorensen. Four buildings are now substantially sub-stantially underway, two of them with the roof on and completely com-pletely enclosed, said President Sorensen - and all scheduled for occupancy by the fall quarter of 1976. They are: The Automotive Trades Building, with the outside out-side walls and roof completed -which will house shops for auto mechanics, auto body, diesel departments, and related classroom class-room space - some of which are at present in rented off-campus quarters in Provo. The Business Building, a two-story two-story structure with the first story enclosed and columns in place for the second. It will house all office education, marketing, mar-keting, and related business subjects, which are now in temporary tem-porary classroom trailers on the Provo campus. The Student Center, a two-story two-story L-shaped structure on which foundations and columns are in place, with the roof completed com-pleted for the first floor in the portion of the L which will have two stories. The Mechanical Building, with roof 'and outside walls completed. com-pleted. This structure will house heating, air conditioning, ad power equipment for the entire campus. From it will radiate power lines and heating and air conditioning pipes, all enclosed along the covered encourses which will give the overall cam-'. cam-'. pus a modified mall design. The Automotive Trades, Busi-" Busi-" ness, and Mechanical Buildings are being constructed with , funds from the first $8,000,000 appropriated by the Utah State Legislature for actual construction. construc-tion. The Student Center is to be constructed entirely from , student contributions and revenues reven-ues from the building - without any state money President Sorensen Sor-ensen pointed out. Over $500,000 is already available from a student reserve building fund (each student pavs $15 per quarter into the fund) plus necessary funds from a $1,200,000 bond issue authorized . by the State Board of Regents. The bond issue is to be repaid from additional student building contributions and from reven ues to be derived from the operation oper-ation of the Student Center itself when completed, including food services (a cafeteria which can serve 450 at once plus a snack bar), fees to be derived from a game room and recreation center, and rental fees which the building will provide from meetings and conferences of outside organizations. Two more buildings are in the planning stage, said President Sorensen - the Library and General Trades structures. Call for bids is expected to be made for both of them by late spring or early summer of 1976 and, if suitable bids are received, completion com-pletion is targeted for the fall of 1977. These buildings will be among those constructed from the state bond issue of $8,000,000 authorized by the Utah State Legislature - making $16,000,000 in all which has been alloted to the new campus by that body. The new Orem campus is on 185 acres purchased years ago by the state in anticipation of the growth of Utah Technical College at Provo. It is located in the arm of 1-15 and Orem's 12th South-east of 1-15 and north of 12th South. Decision to build the new campus in Orem was made years ago when it became apparent ap-parent that the Provo campus-boxed campus-boxed in on 13 acres -could not be expanded with any degree of economic feasibility, said President Presi-dent Sorensen. The Utah Tech president noted not-ed that the new buildings will be finished none too soon to absorb an ever-growing enrollment for the college, which now has nearly near-ly 3,500 students in both day and Several Housing Authorities in Utah will begin accepting applications December 8, 1975, for a rent subsidy program designed to benefit qualified tenants along the Wasatch Front. Father John H. Burk, chairman chair-man of the Davis County Housing Hous-ing Authority, and spokesman for the group, explained the Housing Assistance Program offers to qualified tenants, assistance assi-stance in rent and utility payments pay-ments amounting to the difference differ-ence between 25 per cent of their adjusted gross income and their monthly rent payments pay-ments "For the elderly or disabled," disa-bled," said Father Burk, "this often amounts to around 75 percent per-cent to 85 percent of their rent and utilities." According to a Housing Authority Auth-ority statement, in order to qualify, tenants must have low income, or qualify as elderly or handicapped with a modest income. in-come. A family of four may qualify for low income benefits if their total income is not over $9,600.00 per year and they must be paying mre than 25 percent of their income for rent and utilities; but, the cost of rent and utilities must be an amount equal to or less than the Area's Fair Market Rent. "The Areas Fair Market Rent" said Fathec Burk, "depends upon how many bedrooms the unit has. For example, the Fair Market Rent for this area for a 2 bedroom unit is $134.00." The housing must also meet certain standards. Thirteen requirements have been outlined out-lined by the Housing Authorities Authori-ties to be applied to housing evening programs with all indications indi-cations that it will go far beyond this figure in the next few years.
