Show Help Wanted- Restaurant WSU graduate Kami Overdiek from the Child Abuse Prevention Council sets up a display for the "Tears of the Children" art exhibit in the Union Building Ballroom A on Monday morning. The traveling exhibit will make Utah its 38th stop in 16 states. Crest From page 2 like that anymore. " Davidson said that while this year's event was an improvement on other years, WSU still has a ways to go. "I still think that we're spending too much on the performers and not enough where it needs to go. If Michael Damian isn't considered an expensive performer, I think we're shooting too high." "Michael Damian was not one of the most expensive performers we've had," Hurst said. "His fee was comparable to having the Nylons perform, and less expensive than Doc Severensen, Chubby Checker, and Bruce Springstein's drummer that we've had in the past." " - - The Crystal Crest philosophy was originally established to honor members of the WSU community who have distinguished themselves in scholarship, athletics, achievement, service and instruction, talent and leadership. Thirteen awards are traditionally given each year, in addition to, as many as four special awards selected by the committee for outstanding achievement. Crystal crest is designed to showcase the performing arts as part of the entertainment. The program is also designed to include a student faculty partnership, increasing campus-wide involvement and creating a bridge with the campus community. Complimentary tickets that were usually given each year to stateand community leaders were offered this year to save on printing costs. If the leaders didn't respond, the tickets were not wasted. "I am pleased to say that many members of the Board of Regents and the Board of Trustees were in attendance this year, as well as the president and vice president of the university," Hurst said. "We may have even had some local legislators in attendance." "To my knowledge, the governor of Utah has never come to Crystal Crest, even though he's had the ticket," Davidson said. "I think that's really sad that we've spent so much on the program." "We've decided to continue to just offer tickets to state and local leaders, and then let them decided whether they would like to attend theeventornot'Hurstsaid. "This way, tickets are not wasted, and printing costs are lower." Hurst said that even the program handed out to guests was downsized. "It was a committee decision to make them smaller to use up less paper, and to cut paper costs," Hurst said. Davidson said that some of the costs for the program were unfair. "We even had to pay to reserve the Dee Events Center, which is part of our campus anyway," she said. "I feel that the money spent could have gone somewhere else that could have been better utilized."As Vice President for the upcoming year, Davidson said she plans to work with the other student body officers to make big changes in the budget. "We've already made budget recommendations for the upcoming year, and compared to last year and the year before, we've cut costs by about five thousand t - BRIAN NICHOLSONTHE SIGNPOST dollars," Davidson said. "In my opinion, I don't think we'll even need to use what we've planned for if we watch what we spend it on. We already planned to add the cut money from the Crystal Crest budget to the ARO and the Homecoming budgets, because there it encompasses far more people of the WSU student body." "The money that was relocated to the ARO will go to increased funding for Welcome Week," Hurst said. "We feel that the extra funding will help us get more people interested in the university." Davidson said she hopes to makepositivechangesnextyear.'T think that we can maintain the quality and caliber of the event and still spend less money to make it happen," Davidson said. "Cutting the budget doesn't mean cutting the importance and prestige.of the event in any way," she said. : ... Correction In the "Logo" story in last week's issue, Ihe Signpost staff misquoted Ginger Hauser, secretary to the dean of the College of Applied Science and Technology. The quote should have read. "We don't have enough money for faculty, staff, software or hardware, but the university has enough money to change its 'identity.' I personally don't believe that these changes will bring one more student to our campus." The Signpost regrets the error. WHAT TO DO . . . WHAT TO DO . . . Rumpelstiltskin.
