Show A2 NEWS ENROLLMENT • From Al block system, offering students more flexibility. "It's not so overwhelming if they want to take a summer vacation," Taylor adds. Administrators recognize that increasing summer class offerings is only a temporary solution, as they expect enrollment to continue to increase. "We're an education destination and a very popular one currently, in part, because we offer so many different options at this point as an university." said Chris Taylor, vice president of marketing and communication. In response to this increasing popularity, administrators have developed a ten-year master plan to improve the campus. The first phase of the plan— expanding the Business building— has already begun. The Science building is the next to be improved, with plans to add more classrooms and laboratory space. Later phases, which are awaiting legislative approval, include new parking structures and an intermodal hub. There are also plans to construct new buildings every two years. Administrators will continue to examine different ways to improve the campus and provide more opportunities for students. In the meantime, summer classes might be just what students are looking for. The ugly shadow: Parking pickle? By MEGAN FORBUSH News Writer For some students, the most difficult thing about going to school is not the exams, projects or essays. It's finding a parking spot close enough to make it to class on time. Whether it's needing to park at the Wolverine Service Center or by the Gunther Trades building, a permit is required. There are four types of permits available. For those who drive a motorcycle or scooter, no permit is required to park on the UVU campus. There are designated stalls in which to park, reducing the risk of a citation. Should a citation be given for not having a permit or parking where prohibited, it is best to pay it within 10 days from the date of the citation to avoid additional charges. All parking citations double after ten calendar days. Citations begin at $25. There are two shuttle buses that run continuously, though there are no scheduled pickup/drop-off times. The shuttle runs Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. The shuttle currently stops at the library, the LDS Institute building, Gunther Trades building, College Drive just east of the roundabout and at 1200 S. by the Extended Education building. For more information, visit Parking Services on 800 W. University Parkway. They are open Monday, Thursday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with additional hours on Tuesday and Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. They can also be contacted at 801 -863-8188 or by email at Parking@UVU.edu. More information can also be found at www.UVU.edu/ Parking Make sure to purchase a permit before school starts. No one wants to be the student driving around campus all day because they forgot about a permit. Student Permit Req All parking lots on campus require a permit, including the free lot. And permits can be acquired through Parking Services. J3ke Bwqer/uvuRe Racism Parking Permit Information By STERLING GRAY "News Writer Orange/Night The human tendency to divide into distinct and exclusive groups doesn't need much prodding. Racism is alive and well in Bolivia. The premise is different, the names of the opposing sides are different, but it's still the same seething, separating aversion. It doesn't take long for any child growing up in the United States to learn the word racism. It is discussed in schools, as teachers try to prevent their generation's sin from continuing. It comes across the pulpits of churches, from preachers teaching love and unity. It comes from pot stirrers like Reverend Jesse Jackson and Pat Robertson. There is always a line drawn, and sides are chosen. Some don't see the bold line that separates the two sides. When asked what racism is, one Bolivian responded, "Racism is prejudice Type Yellow Per Year $80.00 $40.00 Per Semester $50.00 (Year Only) B Free (Year Only) Bf $80.00 $50.00 Q Save a Life.

The mestizos, those of Spanish descent, have dominated since the sixteenth century. In the other corner are the battered and mostly beaten indigenes, descendents of the Inca whose power fell before the mighty Conquistadors. Despite the differences in origin from United State's version of racism, the hatred is the same. Political lines are drawn according to racial views. Whether the majority be mestizo or indigene, black or white, those who disagree with the majority face the scorn of the public. Their views are purported to be based only on prejudice. The ugly word, racist, drowns out rational argument. In the United States, a careful line is drawn for those who support or dislike President Obama. Although the background is very different, the same can be said for supporters or antagonists of Bolivian President Evo Morales. He is indigene, and has proclaimed that his presidency will cast off the chains of Spanish colonialism. It seems that no matter where people are, racism will always accompany them.
