The USA consists of three the Academic Affairs committees; Committee, which works on leadership training, the types of courses offered, and the like; the Roundtable for, Activities and Programming, which coordinates activities statewide; and the Lobby Committee which takes Issues concerning UCSP and lobbies them at the state capital. Mike Hansen, ASWC president, said that much of what the UCSP and USA do doesn't really affect Westminster because most of the issues discussed are aimed at Utah's public schools.

The recently failed tax initiatives were the main issues at previous and this meeting dealt mainly meetings, with the tuition increases of the public schools.

Hansen said they were "very Impressed with the college." packman;Copy .Editor, Lee Roszczynski; Advertising Manager, Dave Humphrey; Sales Representative, Basil Chelemes: Business Manager, Kurtis Johnson; Photo Editor, Whitney Germaine; Art Director.
