Show The Daily Utah Chronicle, Wednesday, January Page Two Wilde to aid Gov of higher education in this state," he said. Gardner used Hunt's figures to show this. These figures 55.5 percent of the University budget show that in 1974-7went for instruction adn 30.5 percent went for administrative costs. In the 1977-7- 8 budget, 54.8 percent goes for instruction and 30.9 percent for administration. "The improvement of the undergraduate teaching program at the University has been the number one priority in our budget after salaries," Gardner added. Rep. Steve Hoi brook (D-l- ) said schools have too many teaching assistants. "The University has appropriately asked for more money so we don't have to have as many TA's and we have more faculty to teach. That has improved every year," he said. Commissioner T.H. Bell of the Utah Board of Regents said University students help support students at smaller institutions. He said students at the College of Eastern Utah pay nine percent of their cost and students at the University pay about 14.5 percent. Tuition at the Unviersity, already the highest in the state, must now have the highest percentage of increase to support services for small student populations at the state's other higher education facilities, according to Bell. U may pay high cost of other schools 5. JUDY BARRETT Chronicle staff The University is paying the high cost of educating students in other Utah institutions of higher education, according to testimony given before the legislative Higher Education Committee. Heber T. Hunt, legislative analyst assigned to this committee, stated January 10 that universities should look to cutting support services and staff positions not directly related to instruction. Hunt said the rising costs of these services may be the real cause for officials requesting such a high tuition raise. He told legislators this area should be fully investigated. University President David P. Gardner refuted this charge as being untrue at this school. "The shift in these percentages is less at the University of Utah than at any other institution by The former program coordinator of the University Women's Resource Center, Margaret L. Wilde, will become one of only five female gubernatorial press secretaries in the nation, it was learned January 6. The move is the second for Wilde since April, when she left the Women's Resource Center to become public information officer for the Utah Department of Transportation. The new press aide will replace Michael Youngren following the close of Utah's Legislative Budget Session. "Down at the College of Eastern Utah you have 15 or 20 students in a class. Well, that's expensive and that's where the difference is," he added. Bell also said University students must subsidize these smaller schools so they can maintain high standards. Bell said the only alternative to this is to "close these schools down and make them come up to the University." Wilde was interviewed twice by Governor Scott Matheson as a nominee for the press position, and was notified January 5 of the executive's decision. As far as assuming a role dominated by males, Wilde said she doesn't expect any problems as a female in that position. "I've gotten along well here at the Department of Transportation, which is mostly male in the hierarchial positions, and I expect to do the same there (in Matheson's office)," Wilde said. Wilde has left a varied history at the University, f having served as of the Chronicle in 1965 and as student body of 1966-6After graduating with a degree in journalism, Wilde joined the editor-in-chie- vice-preside- nt 7. staff of the Women's Resource Center as programs and conference coordinator and public relations specialist.
