The resolution was approved at a recent USOC meeting in San Diego, California, according to Howard Peterson, secretary of the council and Chief Executive Officer of United States Skiing, the country's National Na-tional Government Body for skiing. According to Peterson, Salt Lake's commitment to construct and maintain facilities including luge and bobsled runs, ski jumps and ice arenas, represents the city's dedication to its development develop-ment as an international winter sports training center. 'The resolution acknowledges that an Olympic bid city is working work-ing closely and responsively with winter sports," said Peterson. "Salt Lake City is dedicated to the interests of the ahtletes, and to insuring that their needs are not lost in the shuffle of an Olympic campaign," he continued. The resolution reads, in part, 'The United States has been well represented by Salt Lake City as the candidate for the 1998 Olympic Olym-pic Winter Games...We look for ward to a long and mutually advantageous ad-vantageous relationship as Salt Lake City serves as a center for Winter Sports in the Western United States. The resolution noted also that athlete representation has been included in all phases of Salt Lake City's bid effort. In accordance with a written contract between the USOC and Salt lake City, stated the resolution, resolu-tion, the state has committed to building and maintaining bobsled, luge, ski jumps and skating skat-ing venues. These facilities will be used for Olympic venues and to develop the Salt Lake area as a western United States wintet sports training site. A statewide referendum passed in November 1989, provides $56 million for thif project, with construction on all facilities slated to begin by January, 1991.

BYU sets new policy on continuing ed credit Brigham Young University has a new policy limiting the amount of BYU continuing eduction educ-tion credit that can be accumulated accumu-lated before a person applies for admission as a full-time student at BYU. Applicants should not take more than seven hours per semester or 24 hours total of BYU evening class or BYU Salt Lake Center credit prior to being formally formal-ly admitted to the university. The policy is designed to assist students who wish to become fully matriculated at BYU to do so as early as possible so that' the full resources of the university can be brought to bear on their behalf. It also will help those who are not admissible to assess their educational opportunities before investing heavily in course work that may not lead to an undergraduate under-graduate degree. In addition, the policy addresses addres-ses problems associated with admissions ad-missions pressures that BYU is facing in light of the 27,000 full-time-student enrollment ceiling established es-tablished by the Board of Trustees. Non-degree-seeking students who have accumulated 24 hours of BYU continuing education credit can take additional classes that do not lead to a degree, can audit other credit courses or can take non-credit courses. Many continuing education programs are designed specifically specifical-ly with the needs and interests of these people in mind, and the BYU Division of Continuing Education likewise has a strong commitment to provide non-degree-seeking educational opportunities oppor-tunities for them. Persons not seeking degrees but who are taking courses as part of professional development or life enrichment experiences should contact the BYU Division of continuing con-tinuing Education for information on classes available to them. " The new policy takes effect immediately im-mediately but is not retroactive. Those who already have more than 24 hours of continuing education credit can still apply to be considered con-sidered for admission to BYU. BYU students who have been officially admitted to the university univer-sity are unaffected by the change. Along with their regular BYU day classes, they can take Salt Lake Center or Evening School classes beyond the 24-hour limit that satisfy the requirements of the degree they seek. Transfer students who have more than 24 semester hours of credit from other colleges or universities should not take additional addi-tional BYU continuing education classes until they have been admitted ad-mitted to BYU.
