Show Thursday, March Daily Utah Chronicle State legislators thank U interns for their sacrifices and assistance Benson Marsh Stdff Writer Utah lawmakers closed their y legislative session at midnight on March 3, sending almost 300 bills to (iov. Olene Walker's desk for her consideration. Chances are, U legislative interns had some impact be it by contacting constituents or transporting bills from place to place on the legislative process. While state representatives are busy meeting in committees and debating on the House and Senate floors, interns from the U handle many of their remaining duties. Approximately 200 students each year have the opportunity to participate as interns from the Hinckley Institute of Politics, in many various capacities. "I track all their bills, attend their committees with them, call their constituents and run other simple errands," U student Adam Reiser said about his internships with Reps. Dave Hogue, and Gregory Hughes, Other opportunities interns are afforded include analyzing bills, tracking research, attending to issues of public relations, writing speeches and making arrangements for expert witnesses to testify in front of various committees. At a wrap-u- p meeting for the interns the day after the session ended, two representatives from each of the major political parties spoke at the Hinckley Institute of Politics about this legislative session and the interns who helped work on the business of handling laws. Rep. Karen Morgan, D Salt l ake City, thanked the interns from the U for sacrifices made which assisted and expedited the legislative process. The interns' sacrifices of which Morgan spoke included working y weeks during the legislative session requiring interns to be available for requests at almost any time. By making sacrifices such as these, U legislative interns witnessed democracy first hand. This year, interns saw debates on bills about abortion, water conservation, gay marriage and billions of dollars in budgeting. Interns were involved in the process that made it mandatory for any nuclear waste that comes through Utah to be approved by the Legislature and governor's office. "To this point, it has been the best secular opportunity I've had at the university," Reiser said. Sen. Patrice Arent, D- Salt Lake City, explained to those in attendance at the wrap-u- p meeting that she was displeased with the treatment the U received this past sesShe specifically sion. mentioned the passing of the bill allowing guns on campus as one of which she disapproved. "My internship helped me to take a look at the political spectrum of life, to see how the world goes round," Reiser said. 40-ho- 45-da- bmarsh chronicle, utah. edu Andrew Stephenson, left, confers with Senators Eastman and Stephenson, Andrew's father, on the last night of the session. ATHLETICS continued from page Consolidated Statement of Revenues both required to pay $350 a semester for private lessons they're required to have for their program. "I love going to games and I think paying fees is worth it for free tickets," Symons said. But she also said she was surprised the athletes don't have to pay for their own uniforms and equipment. "I don't understand. Athletics isn't really a major. Why do students have to pay for extracurricular activities?" Wendell said. Christina Hafen, a photography major, said she pays upward of $500 per semester for supplies and has to fund her own art ex- hibits. Hafen said she wasn't aware that part of her student fees went to athletics. "It's kind of frustrating for an art major because I don't attend any of those events," she said. But track and field athletes Katie Decker and Natalie Hammons said that although their uniforms and coaches are paid for by the athletics department, there are still a lot of expenses they have to pay out of pocket. Hammons estimated she spends about equip$400 a year on shoes and work-ou- t ment. Both will travel to Arkansas next week to represent the U in a national NCAA indoor track meet. "I feel proud to be from Utah and the U and to be able to run with other great athletic schools," Hammons said. "It's nice to get our name up there and say we have a voice, too." Whether or not the value of athletics to a university is worth the cost is a good question and something to keep thinking about, Hill said. "It's a phenomenon of our academic institutions that they have athletics attached to them. It's part of our culture," Hill said. The diversity and sense of community athletics bring to campus make it a tremendous value to the university, he said. For the small investment the U puts into sports, it does a great deal for the image of the U, campus life and the lives of the athletes, Hill said. "If people don't go to games and don't want to pay fees, that's stupid because they're benefiting other people with their fees," Decker said. If they have to pay the fees anyway, students might as well enjoy a game, she added. "I think we give and take and it balances," Hammons said. "I pay a transportation fee, so I try to use the TRAX as much as possible." akirkchronicle.utah.edu Budqai Revenues $2,825,839 1,040,537 150,000 Student Fees University Support Ticket Sales Ticket Sales Ticket Sales Donations Local TV National TV Radio -- FB - MSB 513.2S3 243.173 Other S Corporate Sponsors Suites MWC Distributions ConcessionsNovelties 225,000 208,428 Away Games Miscellaneous $17,853,374 Total Revenue Budget Expenses $7,068,081 1,525,000 1,350,000 2,030,760 Compensation Tuition and Fees Room and Board Travel Main Sail Lake Cif f ffjfj n,,.,, r ( ; PHILIP & COMPANY HIT,, ,r ninroLminr ,n.iim m.nl wttnMH.n,. r J k 150 East 2100 South w:?-,:.:.- .
