On average, each student receiving financial aid through these programs receives $3,300 per year in tuition assistance. Fiscal analyst Dcbra Headden is recommending a$l million increase for UHEAA to be able to maintain its present accommodations. "It is crucial that we have more need-based financial aid. We have a lot of need and we do face damages, but we understand you may only give us little or nothing," said Commissioner Foxley. Without the option financial aid provides students, there is a greater tendency for students to borrow money or drop out of school altogether. Weber State University ranks fourth in funding received from the state at just more than $700,000 for this year. Overall, a majority of students depend on loans to get through graduation. This year, more than 60 percent of Utah's college and university students are being funded by loans, a rate that has remained fairly steady through the past three years. Loan totals at WSU exceed $9 million, but are significantly less than that of the University of Utah, which has more than $49 million out in student loans. "We end up with a lot of students taking only six credit hours, making them barely half-time students, and taking an extra year to graduate, and that puts even more drain on the state and our economy," Norris said. The subcommittee now faces the dreaded budget reduction discussion, which will continue throughout meetings this week and next. Senators and representatives alike are pleading to "finally hear some good numbers." You can reach reporter Wendy Leonard by calling 626-7105. "Fire is natural," Mull said. "But when you get fires in lower elevations like the foothills, you increase the growth of alien plant species like cheatgrass, which is a dry plant that increases the frequency of fires'. It's a cycle." Once foreign vegetation grows, it takes over, taking years to bring back the native plants, Mull said. Ken Short, senior engineer at the department of natural resources , said the numbers for this year are worse than for any of the past 10-15 years. "About two-thirds goes to watering lawns and that is twice what people need," Short said. "If they could just cut that number down we'd be better off." Despite drastic drought conditions facing Utah, Short remains optimistic. He is confident people will pull together and do their part, he said. "Last year, the Wasatch front reduced their water usage by 13-15 percent," Short said. "Educational fc. HOT GECKO "LIE r-SHmilRi!?? ill mm pi 15. 'JWHiiw.kV,-JUPPI Ask for Student Discount n If.

Both Short and Dychcs recommend taking shorter showers , water-conserving devices for showers and toilets, making sure dishwashers and laundry machines are full before use and to avoid watering 10 a.m.-6 p.m. when significant water amounts are lost. "It's the little things that count," Dyches said. "If everyone does their share, it will make a big difference." You can reach reporter Jennifer Compton Lee by calling 626-7655.
