Show PACE 8 THE THUNDERBIRD MONDAY NOVEMBER 7, 1988 Student Center services reduce weekend business hours BY KATHLEEN MIDCLEY if there is a demand for more hours it will be looked into Cold weather may change the number of students visiting the center, so we may change the hours who said that Several Student Center services are reducing their weekend operating hours due to a lack of business. Originally open on Sundays, the Game Room is one of three Student Center businesses shortening its hours Tony PeKegrim, director of student activities, said the change resulted because it was not wise fiscally to keep (the service) open on Sundays. The building itself will stay open from 11 a m. to 7pm (on Sundays) so students can still study or read there, but the game room will remain closed " Part of the revenues brought in by the Student Center pay for facility supervisors, said Pellegrini One person cannot run the building alone; thus, when students are not in the building, it is a useless expense having it open, he said. "We are flexible to student needs," said Pellegrini, then." The Country Store is closed on Sundays now as well. Garth Jones, director of food service, said the reduced hours are an economic measure. He said there is little business on Sunday, and the costs of keeping the store open exceed the day's revenue. Because the auxiliaries do not receive funding, all revenue brought in is averted back into them. Jones said many students stop at the Country Store to pick up snack food on their way to classes Students don't buy as much on weekends, so the store experienced losses when it stayed open on Sunday. Dining hours in Thunderbird Circle remain the same because students with food cards need to be served, but the weekend hours are limited Instead of the regular two hours for breakfast and lunch, no breakfast is served and only one hour is allocated for lunch. Jones said the Country Store "has done pretty well" with the hours they have. "Of course," he continued, "we will open up the store if there is a special event going on in the center, but otherwise there is no reason to keep it open." Virtually no one is in the center after 8 p.m., he said. The SUSC Bookstore is considering changing its hours on Saturday because students aren't coming into the store during their current hours, said Dennis Ohms, Bookstore manager. The hours are currently 10 am to 3 p m but may change to 1 1 a m. to 4 p m , said Ohms Due to student requests the Bookstore currently opens at 8 a m. weekdays Convo guest profiles forger, killer Hofmann dont want a lot of hype.

Mark Hofmann's Mormon forgery murders have affected Utah and are deeply involved in Mormon culture, said Pulitzer Prize nominee Linda Sillitoe in Thursday's Convocation program "This is a universal story," said Sillitoe "It's a story about people making investments religiously, historically, and for business. This story is about human nature " Sillitoe, author of Salamander The Story of the Mormon Forgery Murders, was a staff writer with the Deseret News at the time of the bombings, but found the Hofmann story of forgery and murder interesting enough to dedicate both her time and career to it Sillitoe explained that the Salamander letters, manufactured by master forger Hofmann, were part of a ring of Mormon forgery documents She noted that the FBI later investigated the documents, and still the documents were proven authentic Mormon church officials acquired loans of $185,000 to obtain the historic papers, according to Sillitoe Utah resident Steve Christensen was one individual who bought a forged document When Hofmann realized he couldnt get out of his dealings with Mormon church officials and Christensen, he took drastic measures On October 7, 1985 Hofmann began constructing a bomb, said Sillitoe Hofmann's bombings killed both Steve Christensen and Kathy Sheets, the wire of another of Hofmann s business associates, v , ti ie s w Gary L SI intended victim Hormann is now serving a life sentence in the Utah State Prison and receives no monetarv benefits from books about his lite and crime |
