Production ts set for Oct. 12, 13, 14 For information contact and Varlo Davenport at 1 6 superior academic programs, and ample parking. While sports and academics remain top of the line, students at this fine institution are wondering why they cant get a parking spot. It seems that the State in Dixie State College has brought with it not only thousands of more students, but more cars than can be found in a small African nation. Anyone who drives a car, SUV, or scooter to class knows that finding a parking spot closer than Mesquite is getting increasingly rarer. Logically, the answer to this dilemma should be found from the same people who are responsible for maintaining adequate parking campus security; however, they said that the security department could not divulge any information. This came from the same people who - IShobd The take a students money in exchange for that parking sticker which enables a student to legally park on a campus parking lot, unless the student arnves at campus after 6:30 A.M., when the pnme parking spaces fill up. This is the type of secrecy usually associated with the Kennedy assassination, not with overcrowded parking lots. Mark Petersen, director of public relations, said that the parking lot situation should become more manageable once security begins issuing citations for illegal parking. Officers will also be cracking down on students that park in faculty, handicapped areas, and in areas that block access to the building, such as fire lanes. Parking at Dixie is not nearly as bad as other campuses in Utah, Peterson said. At larger universities you would have to pay up to $100 for a parking sticker and still have to ride the shuttle. He also added that many parking lots, such as the Avenna Center, which are very close to campus, have many open spaces. BmCi 220 search for Dixie's Best BAND!!!! Drop off a tape of your band to the North Plaza, Room 125. We will then put it on our website in an MP3 format, and let voters vote for the best band! 1 Here we are into another school year with little hope of improving teachers salaries, class size, or student body retention. Did your high school son or daughte talk enthusiastically about thetr first week back and their new outlook of learning, oi did they get stuck at the back of the room out of sight from the board and in anothei world altogether? n fact is that many chil-A dren end up either avoiding classes or are easily distracted, with little motivation to prepare for a class that requires minimal feedback. Children are smart enough to know when they are not getting a good education. Understand these ramifications: Utah continues to grow as it has for the past 70 years, a rate matching that of Indias; our student population will double in 37 years our tax base cannot support school construction and teachers at this growth rate, our Utah State Institutional Lands Trust funds contributes less than 1 of the annt al educational budget; and our Utah legtsl ture and School Board are struggling to articulate a clear vision of a future school system structure to address these critical concerns. My proposal is a little more substantia than opening the school doors year aroum its a conceptually new way of using the educational system that is in place to reduce class size, improve teacher salary an parity by full year contract extensions within a modest budget increase. Imagine our school system adopting a d program; with your children attending classes with only 14 students. year-aroun- P lease see FRANDSEN, page ' 16-2- 1 652-779- DSC BROWNING LIBRARY ANNOUNCES EXHIBIT At the courtesy of the Utah State Historical Society, the Browning Library will display the "Utah Ghost Town Photographic Exhibit" through September 29.
