FEBRUARY 17, 1987 UNIVERSITY OF UTAH Regents approve a new degree, plan buildings By Mark Hollstein Chronicle staff writer The Utah Board of Regents approved a new juris doctormaster of public administration degree, and the master building plan for the University of Utah Friday. The Regents also discussed state legislation that will affect higher education and expressed concern that the governor's $206 million tax increase won't get past the state Legislature. The building plan approved by the Regents calls for the construction of 1 1 new buildings, including the George S. 10-ye- U. if ar quality to drop staff pay stays low, deans warn long-ter- m Apportioned Departmental construction of some 54 new structures on campus. An investigation of the merits of a JDMPA degree was begun by the Center for Public Affairs and Administration in 1980. A survey of 25 JDMPA programs across the country was conducted, an action report prepared by the U. for the Regents said. Students enrolled in the new JDMPA program will concentrate their first year in the study of law. During the second, third and fourth years, the students will pursue a combination of classes in both areas. The interchange of coursework allows in both programs in four years instead of five. In a memorandum to the Regents, Commissioner for Higher Education William Rolfe Kerr said, "The joint degree would expedite preparation for students assuming public service or public policy Academic excellence at the University of Utah will deteriorate and the Utah economy will suffer if U. budgets are not increased to allow for faculty pay raises. That was the message three deans of nationally recognized U. colleges brought to the Board of Regents Friday. Harold Wolf, dean of the College of Pharmacy, told the regents that the Pharmacy College is in the top five of 75 in the country. The department of pharmaceutics, ranked as one of the 10 best in the world, attracts the finest faculty because of excitement in the scientific community about what can be done at the U. to advance such areas as drug delivery continued on page three administrative expertise." The U. report says the new degree will increase the career options for graduates by providing professional flexibility. The program created by the U. is similar to the programs at the 25 universities surveyed, and to the U.'s juris doctor-mastof business administration degree er which has been offered for some time. Officials at Brigham Young University, which has a similar program, reviewed and endorsed the U.'s proposal, Kerr said. The Regents expressed their pleasure at the passage of HB53, HB54 and HB55. HB53 changes the name of Utah Technical College at Provo to the Utah Valley Community College and the name of the Utah Technical College at Salt Lake to the Salt Lake Community College.

Students money is well spent By for the Utah Transcampus Escort Service, the ASUU banner poles and the Crimson Dennis Romboy Chronicle staff writer Quarter after quarter students pay tuition and fees to attend the University of Utah. In return, they expect to get a education and proper training for a future career. But what kind of return arc students getting on the $9 investment they put into ASUU each quarter? And how arc uudent funds being used by ASUU officials? "Students don't realize that ASUU pays for a lot of things on this campus," says Mark Paul, ASUU president. The Olpin well-round- Union check-cashi- ed service, discount ng I movie tickets ($34,300 annually) and the campus tutoring service, to name a few, are all paid for by student dollars. One of the major uses of ASUU money this year has been for the establishment of the ASUU Round Table, which is a monthly meeting for all campus club presidents and ASUU leaders, he said. In addition, student money has been used Deli. Each of the six ASUU boards has had less money to work with this year compared to last. They have spent less and the money has been well spent, Paul said. In addition, "71 percent of all ASUU money has been spent on academic things, but it's debatable as to whether students would have rather had more money pen ton services," he said. The S9 quarterly student fee is divided among three separate accounts. Eight of the nine dollars go directly to ASUU. This amount multiplied by approximately 24,000 U. students per quarter makes up ASUU's annual budget of more than $500,000. The Chronicle receives 85 cents from the fee, which it uses for annual operating expenses. The remaining 15 cents is put into an ASUU general reserve account for special projects known as the "super fund."

Since its establishment fall quarter, the colony of Phi Gamma Delta has been holding meetings and functions in the Olpin Union. "We usually meet at the Union Building and then move the party somewhere else," said Eric Wreid, Phi Gamma Delta president. Without a house to serve as a general meeting place, it is difficult to inform members of scheduled events. Instead, the fraternity has a bulletin board located in the student involvement center with posted information about meetings and activities. Although they are functioning well without a home, finding one is still the their top priority. "It isn't easy. There are certain standards you have to follow, and we want to find exactly the right place. We'd rather not have a house than have one we don't like," Wreid said. Regulations state fraternity homes must be within 600 feet of campus. In addition to the geographical restrictions, the "We need colony must also come up with a down payment. the down for donations from our graduate brothers, etc., payment," Wreid said. 1,298 26,643 7,356 ZfA AIT i Tn . .
