Show Monday, September 26, 1988 Chronicle - Page Eleven bolstered by 531 By Edwakd Ruiz Chronicle assistant news editor . Banners, limo rides, cheers and hugs festivally signaled the end of Rush Week for the 531 men and women pledges of the University of Utah Greek system. For the men, most of Rush Week was spent eating, alpine sliding, playing at the Sports Park, eating, riding in helicopters, skeet shooting and more eating- . festival and amid much hand During the week-lon-g rushees 289 introduced themselves to hunshaking, dreds of fraternity members in hopes of narrowing down the choices among the ITs. 12 fraternities. Two hundred and fifty of those rushees are now pledges in the Greek System. For the women, 360 rushees had a week packed with singing, dancing (that's right, we're talking full productions) slide shows, food and lots of talking as they narrowed down their choice to one of six soror' " ities. - ; from page one "We receive $110 million from the state and enlarge that to $510 million. That is a remarkable increase," Peterson said. Wm. Rolfe Kerr, commissioner of higher education, said the report contains several "misleading observa-tions- " regarding the U. "It's not possible to increase faculty loads, save money and get money from research. People should not be misled by this misuse of information," Kerr said. The report says the U.'s expenses increased faster than the rate of inflation during the 1980s. It also states the cost of educating students at the U. is four times as high as educating students at private colleges. To help reduce this cost, the committee suggests charging different prices for each major area of study, which means students majoring in fields such as nursing and engineering would pay significantly higher tuition rates. The suggestion drew criticism from several educators, who said such a policy (hscriminates against poof students. Kerr said the committees' findings are false because it failed to consider the increasing rate of enrollment dur . five-tim- es - Two hundred of those rushees are now pledges. Cherry Ridges, coordinator of the Greek System, said the number of women is up from last year, when there were 240 pledges out of 342 rushees. She said the overall number of male rushees dropped from 317 last year. However, the total number pledged increased from last year's 244. Trish Kapos, Panhellenic Rush chair, said this was one of the most successful weeks for the women in recent years because of more advertisement, counselors who were professionally trained and rushees who were more ' educated about the Greek system. Torr Brush, the Interfraternity Council Rush chair, agreed this year's Rush was a successful one. Although the total number of male rushees was down from last year, he pointed out that more men were pledged than last year. . He said the drop in rushees may be attributed to the recent bad publicity the Greeks have received regarding neighborhood 'and alcohol problems. However, he explained that those who did Rush were more serious about joining a chapter than in the past. Ridges added because of the publicity, both positive and negative, the Rushees were more aware of what the Greek System is like. ing the same period. He added the cost per student at the U. is actually lower in 1988 than it was in 1981. . Bradford said the committee made its assumptions after comparing the U. to only one other institutiori-Westminster College. Bradford's committee reported there are legitimate cost differences between the two schools and said students pay higher rates of tuition at private colleges. Bradford's committee also criticized the suggestion professors' teaching loads be increased to 12 hours per week. The report said U. professors "average less than six hours per quarter" and estimated $15 to $20 million could be saved if loads were increased. However, data from the State Board of Regents said the average class load at the U. is nine hours and is comparable to other research universities. Bradford's committee also reported U. faculty work an average of 54.9 hours per week including about 32 hours of instruction, 17 hours of reseach and 6 hours of university and public service. Bangerter said government officials would review the report and would implement some of the more useful recommendations. eighty-on- e don't want a lot of hype.
