Gardner's proposal was presented last Thursday, one of the first proposals from the 11 state institutions. Gardner said the governor's recommendation of an increase threatened the University. " This policy gives rise to the fact that our students are indirectly subsidizing those in the other state institutions," Gardner across-the-boar- schools at Students interested in attending information from the National Student Exchange. out-of-sta- te in-sta- te costs can find out more Exchange program offered GARDNER Chronicle staff Sophomore and junior students can attend schools at tuition costs through the National Student Exchange (NSE). The program, a cooperative effort of 39 campuses in 30 states, recruits undergraduates across the country to spend up to one year at another state college or universtiy, at residence costs. "From Hawaii to Maine, the National Student Exchange provides students a chance to have new academic, cultural and social experiences through a simplified admissions and at little or no process, assurance of credit transfer-abilitadditional cost," said Diane Dubow, program coordinator for the University. Since NSE's first year of operation in 1968, more than 3,400 students have utilized its exchange opportunity. Dubow said students take advantage of the program for a variety of reasons, including exploration of new geographic settings, academic diversification and increased cultural awareness. With 39 campuses participating in NSE, a range of specialized program offerings is available to the undergraduate, making enrichment of a student's major area by LIZ out-of-sta- te in-sta- te y, easily accessible. For instance, the Universtiy of Hawaii-Manohas achieved excellence in marine biology, and the forestry and environmental design programs at the University of Massachusetts-Amhers- t, are especially strong. Women's studies can be found at the University of Delaware, and the University of Northern Colorado offers studies. strong programs in Black and Mexican-AmericaAccording to University junior Dan Farmin, an exchange student from the Universtiy of Idaho, NSE is a "good way to get away from everything you're used to and experience something new." Farmin, who is majoring in chemical engineering, said, "It's the only way I could afford to go to a, n another school." Another NSE student, junior Greg Schell, is an education major from the University of Montana. Schell, who loves Utah weather, came here to "have a good time." He said the programs and courses offered here are very similar to those of his home school, and he is given special treatment as a NSE student. "It's a super opportunity for an tuition," said Schell. experience with In selecting an exchange school, a student should consider what he or she hopes to gain from the experience, said Dubow. Whether or not the academic program is sufficiently diverse, and whether there is sufficient opportunity to become acquainted with the environment are also important, she said. Another point to consider is the affect of the NSE on graduating or professional plans. The procedure to follow if a student chooses to participate in the NSE is a relatively simple one, said Dubow. All that is e application form, two references, an required is a interview with the program coordinator and two short essays. A 2.5 grade point average is required to become a NSE student, and he or she must be in the sophomore or junior year while on exchange, said Dubow. A prospective NSE student ranks three choices for schools when applying, then a brokerage process takes place to exchange the student. "Students have an 80 percent chance of obtaining their first choice, and a 100 percent chance of their second choice," said out-of-sta- te in-sta- te one-pag- Dubow. The deadline for application to the program is March 1, 1978, for next fall quarter. The sooner the application is turned in, Dubow said, the better chance a student has of getting into the more competitive schools. Juniors are given preference over sophomores and earliest dates on completed applications are given preference. She added that a student may exchange to more than one school during the year's time if he desires. what education is a student can learn "NSE about himself in multiple ways," said Dubow. The program gives a student an increased sense of and an increased awareness of different lifestyles, learning styles and values she jaid.

When the Board of Regents formulated its tuition recommendations, it adjusted the tuition increase for each institution in proportion to each budget increase. Therefore, if the University was to get a 16.3 percent budget increase, tuition would rise approximately 6.9 percent. In comparison to other state institutions the University would have the lowest percentage tuition increase because it received the lowest budget increase. However Matheson disregarded this logic and d increase of 10 percent. recommended an In effect this causes University students to pay for an increase in the budget appropriations of other schools. Gardner released figures showing that the University had suggested the lowest percentage budget increase (20.8 percent) of all the institutions. The highest increase with a request came from Utah Technical College-Prov35.3 percent figure. When asked by a council member why the University figure was comparatively low, Gardner replied that "There is a general view that somehow the University will get by." Gardner added that since the University budget looks larger in dollar terms, it is assumed that they are "getting more than everyone else." The appropriations increase proposed by Gardner is added to those recommendations of the Commissioner of Higher Education, T.H. Bell, the State Board of Regents, the governor and the legislative analyst for thecommitte's consideration. These increases are to come from the general fund, and represent no tuitions or fees. In contrast to Gardner's recommendation, Bell recommended a 14.9 percent increase. The Board of Regents tell in the middle with a 16.3 percent recommendation, and Matheson cut the increase down to .9 percent in his presentation. "I am concerned with the compatibility of the governor's budget," Gardner commented. across-the-boar- o 1 1 self-relian- 359-581- 0, Weather cloudy with rain, changing to snow showers by evening; high 40, low 28 |
