Show THE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE THURSDAY, JANUARY 17. Honors Program Plans Fa Move to Heritage Commons BETH MCPHEE JARED WHITLEY Chronicle News Writers Beginning after the Paralympics in March the Honors Program is planning to move to Building 619 in the Fort Douglas complex. The Honors Program is currently housed in the Sill Center. Although the move is not slated for completion until October of 2002, expansion plans are already underway. The new center is to hold a computer room, classrooms, student lounge, administration offices and counselling offices. Plans are still underway for development and Although Fort Douglas has seen some major renovations in the past couple of years, the building reserved for the Honors Program has not undergone significant remodeling since its construction in 1875. The program is starting a campaign to raise the $700,000 needed to start the first phase of renovation. The building needs new plumbing and wiring to comply with the technologies that the Honors Program has planned. According to Richard Rieke, head of the Honors Program, the center has already received a $12,000 donation to help fund the computer room. This money has been donated in the form of computers, printers and software provided by Intel, to be used by the ACCESS Program. This program gives opportunities to women who are interested in science and mathematics. Professor Sidney Rudolph heads the ACCESS Program. The new building is located next to the Comadores Conference Center. Rieke believes this will enable students to state-of-the-a- rt fund-raisin- g. be a part of important conferences and give the program more space to hold conferences and guest lectures. Kathie McMillen, honors director of development, hopes that the new center will "give a small liberal arts or Ivy League college feel to the campus." The Fort Dc iglas building will be "as accessible as anything else on this campus," even though it is not as close to the campus center as the Honors Program's existing office, McMillen said. "The new center will provide opportunity to residence hall students together with those who don't live in residence halls to come together in a common community," Rieke said. "We were looking for ways to put special academic prog grams in the middle of the Fort Douglas Machen said the Bernie of decision to President complex," December. in made which was move, The new center will provide the space to house and encourage such a community with 5,000 square feet compared to three rooms now occupied in the Sill Center. "It certainly opens up new opportunities to be close to Honors experiences and different activities that students probably wouldn't have normally gone to," said Bret Brinkman, Honors Student Advisory Committee member. Brinkman thinks the move will especially affect students living in the dorms, but not necessarily those that live off cam- 2002 but Regents Chairman Charlie Johnson doesn't think so. Because the U lobbies for both academic programs as well as University Hospital, "it would be expected to see the U as the largest lobbying group in the state. The U has more issues, the largest budget and need for lobbying," Johnson said. Lyon said she feels good about the amount of money spent on lobbying. "I don't think it is too much or too little." The U claims $23,000 is too high. "We are learning what events we have to include and what events don't count," she said. There were multiple costs included that the U administrators have learned didn't need to be, such as costs for invitations to events. complex academics that demand the jp3rkinsonchronicle.vtah.edu LOBBY continued from page 1 are looking for lasted, friendly and fashionable people to join our progressive team for two retail locations at the Gateway Plaa and Park City The following seasonal opportunities are available: We use 2002 .J living-learnin- Sales Associates Cashiers Roots has been building a reputation for quality and service since 1973 Our success relics on our team of dedicated Associates whoso commitment to quality and service help position Roots as a leading lifestyle brand becoming a member of our team, you will enjoy variety of rewards including an exciting work environment, flexible schedules, discounts and incentives. shopping In J a fast-pace- ARE YOU READY TO REPRESENT THE ROOTS BRAND? pus.

"The developer assumes everyone will use his product in the way it was intended, but there are always people that will abuse it such as hackers," Conover said.
