Show THE THUNDERBIRD TUESDAY SEPTEMBER an iqg6 PAGE 5 Students need to work for tax hike 'Access' is a recurring column in which members of the campus community may express their views on a subject of interest or concern. This week's column is by A5SUSC President ALAN BAILEY. Welcome back to SUSC. This year promises to be the best ever. Student leaders have been working hard this summer to provide some excellent activities, programs, and events for the upcoming year. This year begins a new era of Thunderbird athletics. Coach Jack Bishop and the football team have gotten off to a great start. anticipate the volleyball team and all of the other athletic teams will do well also. I'm excited about the school year and hope everyone will come out and support the athletic events and enjoy the social activities. Homecoming, The Starlight Club, the Berlin concert and the Utah Jazz game are but a few of the many activities to come. The ASSUSC bought 500 tickets especially for SUSC students for the Utah Jazz versus the Seattle Supersonics October 1 0th game. They will be sold today-Frida- y in front of the Student Service Center from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. Tickets will be $6.50 and $8.50. encourage you to take advantadge of these discount prices. With the three percent budget cut going into effect this year, SUSC will have to cut an estimated $300,000 from its budget. strongly encourage students to start lobbying for a state tax increase to counter the budget cut. We must start acting now because it is the students who are carrying the weight of the budget cut. Moreover, a 10-1- 4 percent tuition surcharge has been imposed for winter and spring quarters of this year and the state has projected a six percent budget cut for the 1987-8- 8 school year. If something isn't done soon, the quality of higher education will soon diminish. Student leaders are trying to persuade the Utah State Legislature that a state tax increase is vital to the survival of higher education. hope you, the student body, will join us in trying to persuade the Legislature to impose a state tax increase. Our purpose as student leaders is to contribute to and support your academic endeavors and ensure that your student activities are full of the highest quality. would encourage anyone wanting to get involved to come in and see me in the ASSUSC offices.
