Show PACE 8 THE THUNDERBIRD TUESDAY MAY 26, 1987 Year brings unprecedented growth and cuts BY GREG PRINCE difficult to sum up any year in a few words, but this year will be considerably harder than most. Although the year has gone by quickly, it was marked by unprecedented growth and acheivements at SUSC. Orders from Utah Gov. Norman Bangerter forced the administration to deal with a six percent budget cut. This action will be felt by students through higher tuition and fees, and the loss of several college programs with their associated faculty members. "Budget cuts of this magnitide cannot be taken without considerable pain. We're talking about affecting people's lives and the services and programs SUSC offers in soqthern Utah," said SUSC President Gerald Sherratt. "We were directed. ..to maintain the strength of the college, so we looked at areas which would be least likely to affect major numbers of enrollment and least likely to affect the quality and thrust of the college," said Provost Terry Alger. Hit particularly hard by the cuts were the agriculture, philosophy, and social work programs. On one of our more interesting Thursdays, the Convocation series hosted a debate between Gunn McKay and James Hansen, candidates for Utah's first congressional district. Their debate was filmed by KUED for televising later. Although student consensus awarded the debate to McKay, Hansen went on to win the It is election. The first ever Homecoming Jubilee started a week of festivities with A drama, music and dance selections from Opus V, Canzonetta, the Masque Club and the Sojourners. Anne Bruce, a junior, began her reign as Miss SUSC. The Hornets of Cal State Sacramento pulled ahead in the 48-3- 1 second half to defeat the in front of a near capacity crowd. The homecoming celebration went out with a bang as Berlin, led by Terri Nunn, performed for an exuberant crowd of 3,500 in the Centrum's first major concert. ld A r1- ii1 Those charged with increasing enrollment are beginning to reap the rewards for their work. For the first time in the history of the college, enrollment for fall quarter topped 3,000 students in regular and special courses and over 2,800 regular students enrolled in fall quarter, an increase of over 10 percent from the previous year. This remarkable increase followed a summer school enrollment of 1,700, an increase of greater than 100 percent.
