Show PACE 12 THE THUNDERBIRD SUSC MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1990 Senators study Music Arts line item BY AMANDA REESE Discussion on the proposed Music Arts line item continued ASSUSC Senate Monday. Although this was supposed to be the current student administrations last meeting, they voted to meet again next week to make a decision on the bill. Student senate receives $3.43 from student fees per student per quarter. The proposed bill would give 30 cents from the $3.43 to the Music Arts, totaling $1,080 per quarter. Debate continued as to whether or not 30 cents was too high and if the money would be better spent with other clubs on campus. Senators also discussed the possibility of pulling the money out of existing line items. The additional money for the Music Arts line item would go to several places. It would help finance cultural events for Cedar City, namely bringing in companies such as the Utah Symphony and the Vienna Boys Choir. Money would also be used to buy music for the SUSC band and choir. Funding would also help support the Opera Club, which is in its third year. The program has doubled in size from last in catalog is postponed 90-9- 2 year. We are also the only four year institution with no established opera program, said Jason Clark, program director. A line item is a security. The money would come out of the senate budget anyway, said Sen. Patti Esplin. Sen. Michelle Dutson said, The money would affect more people than if we gave it to other small clubs. It was proposed that the senators grant the Music Arts half of the money and charge students half price to be admitted to the various performances the clubs sponsored. Prices average $10 a ticket. Another proposition was to take five cents from an existing line item. In the last senate meeting, it was suggested that they lower the amount given to the Rodeo Club due to dwindling numbers of participants. I dont think interest is a problem; I think the problem is financial support, said Dan Dail, Block and Bridle adviser. Another suggestion was to take 5 cents from the Waukeenyan line item and 25 from the senate fund. An investigation was ordered on the Waukeenyans and will be reported on at next weeks meeting. The printing of the in the catalog. The class schedule for the 1990-9- 1 school year will still be printed for distribution in April. There are also enough of the current 1988-9- 0 catalogs on hand to help with student registration, said Publications Director Larry Baker. Because the Board of Regents will not allow SUSC to use its university title until January, the Deans Council approved the delayed printing, said Provost Terry D. Alger. The president and vice president for college relations were in agreement about waiting to print, he said. Baker said, We were faced with the prospect of printing a catalog that would list the name of the college correctly (as SUSC) for six months and incorrectly for 18 months or print two catalogs within a two-yeperiod. The third option, which we went with, was to just delay the printing of the catalog until Jan. 1991. The hall was built according to the minimum width requirements, so anything sticking out would be a fire hazard, said Cowham; as a result, the group then discussed the idea of collapsing seating, auditorium style. If we cant have the seating, we are going to push to have the plants removed, said Cowham, who explained chat the plants the Centrum pose an equal obstruction of emergency exits. Margaret Sidwell, state fire representitive, came to SUSC on Friday and examined the situation with the seating. They were very positive, it looks good, said Cowham. The seating would be provided by donations from businesses in the community, she said. 5e(uis THE BEST SELECTION NEW TAPES BY SUNGLASSES ON The 1990-9- 2 catalog will include updates to curricula and academic programs, said Michael D.

Mimsne & MAIN, NO. 5 491 S. general Southern Utah University, can be used Students rally for Centrum benches A group of SUSC students are putting the theory of their small gfoup communication class to the test. The purpose of the class is to show that a small group of people can accomplish more than one or two people alone, said Cindi Cowham, a member of a group working to get seating for students in the Centrum corridor. Students in the class have the choice of taking some action on the national, state, or local level. Cowham said her group chose to work for Centrum benches because students currently are left to sit on the floor between classes. We noticed that there wasn't anywhere for the students to sit except the floor. So we thought there may be a possibility to get benches or seating in the hallways, said Cowham. State fire codes, however, stand in the way of seating. 1990-9- 2 catalog will be delayed from May, when the catalogs are usually distributed, until Jan. 1991, so the schools new title, vqe 586-047- 8 IN CEDAR CITY M.C.
