BY NATALIE COOMBS On-camp- j I 1 ASSUSC to become SUUSA BY AMANDA REESE The Student Senate voted to change the title of the ASSUSC to SUUSA, Southern Utah University Student Association, m Mondays meeting, as well as evaluating the pros and cons of alloting a Music Arts line item. The student association name change will take effect when SUSC officially changes its title to SUU in January 1991. Currently, the senate receives a line item of $3.43 from the $99 that students pay in student fees each quarter. This portion is divided between various organizations on campus. The proposed music club line item would receive 43 cents of each $3.43 the senate receives. The line item would help to finance cultural events brought to Cedar City. The Utah Symphony, The American Folk Ballet, and the Westin Opera Company are samples of entertainment the club has sponsored this school year. Next year, the club is planning to bring in the Vienna Boys Choir, The Famous People Players, Force The Utah Symphony, and The Army-Ai- r Band. This year, the Music Arts expenses totaled $32,000. Of that, the senate paid $3,900 through a series of allotments. Donations from the community pay the rest. Students who attend these functions are admitted free with a student I.D. card which saves the student as much as $15 for each ticket.

The major problem we have is if we keep chopping the senate budget, it decreases the number of people we can help, said Sen. Julie Slade. We need to make sure this is worth of our budget, said Sen. Mark Holyoak. For the amount the senate pays, 288 students would have to attend activities for the money to break even. I am sure there is at least that many that attend, said Sen. Bubba Johnson. A cut in the amount was also considered. We could cut the 43 cents to 25 cents, and students could pay half price for admittance, said Holyoak. I would rather see those who go and enjoy the performance to pay for it, said Sen. Dave Duce. The line item is undergoing further investigation, and will be decided upon at the next senate meeting. With the election process under way, the student senate only has two meetings left for its term. The last of its budget was allotted in last weeks meeting to the ASSUSC election Council. copnmittee and the Inter-Gree- k Running out of money early, said Tony Pellegrini, director of student activities, is very normal. They like to spend the money on activities that happen while they are in office. one-seven- University status OKd (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) It is also a recognition for those who graduated before, said Sherratt. P'ovost Terry D. Alger said, The ultimate winners are the students. The institution will not change all that much. Going United States. university is part of a national trend. When students go out of state, it will make it immediately recognizable as a four-yea- r baccalaureate school. The change is a big deal. Its mainly a question of prestige to help them achieve that first job. From that point on the quality of the education will carry them. While Alger worked for the Commission of Higher Education he said he had a hard time finding a similar institution to SUSC that was not called a university. There are many kinds of universities. SUSC has no aspirations to become a research institution. Sherratt looks for further positive results, though. We just see this as a watershed and we just hope that the alumni are as excited as we are, he said. Sherratt looks forward to alumni support in boosting the current Library acquisitions as preparations continue for the new library building, so it will be not just a good library, but a superb small university library. To signal that university status had become law, Sherratt scheduled the bells to ring, but they were frozen due to Wednesdays frigid temperatures here, he said. The bells did not toll until two and a half hours after the governors scheduled 11:15 a.m. signing. The bells rang for 10 minutes before 2 p.m. Although alumni, students, faculty, staff, and community members did represent the college at the signing ceremony, the numbers were limited as a result of the bad weather conditions. |
