It's pretty tough," Roberta Diamond, the fiancee of Stonesifer's father, said Monday. "It's like it's a dream, like it's not real." U WIRE "Wc have even looked at asking neighboring churches to let us use their parking lots when school is in session," he said. But solutions like this one create other problems. For example: How do shuttles transport students who park in these areas to campus? Chambers said. The U requested additional parking along Guardsman Way and on some streets in Research Park from the city, Chambers said. Other proposals include using the large parking lot at Franklin Covey Field and shuttling students to campus. "We don't know if these proposals will go through, I can only say wc arc doing the best we can to provide parking for the students," Chambers said. spokesman. Already in progress is the University Hospital expansion, recently renamed the Eccles Critical Care Pavilion. The pavilion will double the capacity of the emercenter, which handles 30,000 gency room and patients annually. "That is way over its capacity," Burgess said. Health sciences extended the completion date of the pavilion from November 2002 to spring 2003 . Construction of the Cancer Research Hospital began in August.

Of the 25 groups contacted to participate in the fair, less than 10 tables were filled. Gill attributes this to the disorganization of many diversity groups on campus. "Some were not really a standing organization," she said. "It was hard to get someone that could really commit to coming." The few tables set up did not have many students there to hear what participants had to say. Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., around 100 students came through. "I really wish we could have had more," Gill said. She attributed the lack of student interest to poor advertising. "I'm disappointed," said LaMont Green, who was at the fair representing the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People. "It seems like no one's aware and no one cares about people's rights." Utah Transit Authority also participated in the diversity fair and paid for the refreshments. According to Green, who also works for UTA, the transportation service contributed to the fair because it wanted to make students more aware of the transportation options around campus and become more comfortable with it. "The more we educate about the transit authority, the more we realize that transportation is controllable," Green said. ejohnsonchronicle.utah.edu UJ CQ - 2 CHRISTENSEN MALONE a STEENBURGEN ' o turn Lif6 ASA HOUSE UJ ST'--f Seen from a distance, r J .
