Show WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 2016 DIXIESUNNEWS.COM - 3 MASCOT continued from page Early tuition deadline still affecting students Athletics Director Jason Boothe said the most important thing in deciding the mascot is to just get it done. He said DSU has no branding around campus, and "we need that." "The three options fit and make a lot more sense than the Red Storm does," Boothe said. Sharp said there is no firm date when the new mascot will be decided, but after policy revision BY EMILY FISHER they only want students who are serious about attending to have priority. Having students signed up for a class they have no intention of actually attending impacts the university and students negatively in a number of ways, Roos said. Roos said the purge affected enrollment numbers for fall semester. Students had three weeks after the start of the semester to pay for classes before the change. Students who were accustomed to having a few weeks to get things in order had to make adjustments, while it has had little impact on newer students, said Dominic Terry, a freshman major from Pomona, California. Terry said he got a head start on the early deadline. "I. like to get things done early so I don't have to be in a rush like some people," Terry said. "It had no effect on me." Roos said students have access to what they owe for tuition relatively early, and they should have had time to plan ahead and make arrangements with financial aid, if necessary. "The deadline would be okay if they communicated better and more often," Puchlik said. "But they don't." emilyfi shernews The "purge" may have happened to you or someone you know &ging students to pay their tuition sooner. The policy, nicknamed "the purge," was instituted at the beginning of fall semester and makes tuition due weeks sooner than past semesters. If a student hadn't paid tuition by the deadline, all of their classes were dropped for For spring semester, the deadline was Jan. 4, one week before classes began. Josh Puchlik, a sophomore business administration major from St. George, said he wishes the school sent out more notifications when the deadline drew non-payme- nearer. "It's a I busy time of year for many students, and the policy change is still fairly new," Puchlik said. "I prefer more communication over less when it comes to my finances." David Roos, executive director of enrollment management, said one reason administration made the change is because class seats fill up quickly, and it will be decided before the end of the semester. "The process now is to dig deep with each identity," Sharp said. The process will consist of considering what each identity will align with colors, logos, how athletic uniforms will look, the name of the dance team, and possible traditions that will be built around each 1 Boothe.said the design part of the process and working with Love Communications is essential in 00000 0000 0000 O O O O O O O O 000 000 00 0 g '4 S r-- 1 ".., 3 f ; r , I I i , 'i !. ,. t r L. , -- i , J ) 1 1 1 - ( - i ,'1.'

Sales in Minnesota for the Saturday drawing topped $13.1 million, breaking the record of $10.8 million, set on Nov. 28, 2012, for a $587 million jackpot. And while no one won the mother of all jackpots, Saturday's drawing produced 263,866 winning tickets in Minnesota, totaling $1.8 million in prizes, including one worth $150,000 and 10 worth $50,000. Today's jackpot is estimated to be $1.5 billion, but could be even higher because sales generally pick up the closer it gets to the drawing, said Debbie Hoffmann, Minnesota lottery spokeswoman.
