Some money will also go to the salaries of teaching assistants in engineering. Business Dean Jack Brittain feels confined with his current budget, and the additional $500,000 will only make a slight dent in the need, he said. "But we are definitely pleased to have it," Brittain said. While the business school recorded a 14 percent increase in students, the Legislature only provided enough funding to cover an 8.5 percent increase. "We are doing more, but we are getting further and further behind," Brittain said. "I am feeling very squeezed." Brittain will use the $500,000 to hire new faculty. He said he can only hire four new educators because of salaries the high business-facult- y nationwide. Lawmakers provided 78 percent of the money requested by the U.

University of Utah students will have a chance to speak up today. U President J. Bernard Machen will meet with interested students in the Saltair Room of the A. Ray Olpin University Union at io a.m. to discuss his tuition request for a increase of 1.5 percent. The public hearing is part of the "Truth in Tuition" movement developed by student leaders during the 2001 legislative session. Both the state Board of Regents, the body which sets statewide tuition rates, and the Legislature passed policies requiring public meetings each time a tuition increase is proposed. The Legislature also allowed individual universities to request a second increase of up to 4 percent on top of the statewide increase, which is currently at 4 percent Machen plans to ask the Regents for a 1.5 percent increase money from which would be split between libraries and technology during their meeting March 15 and 16 at Dixie State College of Utah. The U would spend about half of the $500,000 generated by the 1.5 percent hike on the salaries of the Web technicians. Currently, the U pays these employees by deficit spending. The rest of the money will help the J. Willard Marriott Library hire new staff members to educate students on electronic databases and keep the student-us- e computer labs operational. The Regents are also considering raising the statewide tuition increase by 1.5 percent, which would bring the total increase for U students to 7 percent, or $84 per semester for an undergraduate taking 15 credit hours.
