Wasting money is an idea that has existed in our nation since 1776. The practice of squandering money has also been going on for years in Utah, at SUSC and the other eight schools of higher education, with our hard earned money. Each year Ive faced higher registration fees and the threat of less state financial support. Like most students I dont object to paying my fair share to support SU, but I expect my money to be spent in the most effective and prudent manner possible. Yet, on the state and college level, this principle has been lost. Now Ive discovered that our fees will go up $13 per quarter. School officials point to limited building space and Title DC stipulations for the raise. In my opinion, this is nothing more than a smoke screen for the real problem poor fiscal management. I would even go so far as to suggest that the legislature cut financial aid to all schools This could be accomplished without any cost hikes to students if current money was carefully used and with new promotion ideas. Allow me to mention several areas in which SUSC could manage its greenbacks more effectively. e Almost all of the campus employees have student assistants. But this service has reached a point where many supervisors do very e little work, if any, leaving it for the help. Granted, the help cant do all the work themselves, but they can do some. In high school, teachers instruct a full load and yet can still hand back worksheets corrected without any help the next day. Why does the faculty need aides to grade assignments while they only teach two to three classes a day? Making college employees actually work while on the clock would allow cutting back on hired help. Another big savings to SUSC might be to eliminate a Level 1 sport such as the mens basketball program. Among other perks, the basketball team receives 15 scholarships, and given a budget to recruit and compete nationwide. Some of the extra money could be funneled into the womens basketball and softball programs, thus erasing the $3 fee increase. This would solve SUSCs Title LX problem. To enhance SUSCs image among high school students, just think of the PR we would receive if our president drove to work on a motorcycle. Teenagers would love to come to a school where daily the president races to work on his bike wearing a leather jacket. To sell the school to parents we could have President Sherratt wearing a MADD dont drink and drive patch on his back. With the influx of new students the administration could lower our fees. Thorley Recital Hall is another potential money making avenue for us. I doubt if 10 students on campus know who Frank A. Thorley is. Why not rename the recital hall in honor of a current music industry star that weve heard of personally, Id choose Whitney Houston. Im sure if we did rename the building after her she would gladly come to Cedar for the ceremony and even perform a concert in behalf of SUSC allowing us to keep all proceeds. What a fund raiser! While some of these proposals logically dont make sense, the bottom line is that SUSC students shouldnt have to face this $ 1 3 fee increase.
