Patti Vesely, film festival volunteer and Parowan resident, said the Parowan Film Festival was a great opportunity to see movies in a unique setting. Its basically a good event where you can come watch movies on the big screen, she said. What makes it different is the small, intimate setting. The films featured at this years festival all had a special theme, Vesely said. Some scenes from every movie were filmed in Utah, she said. Gary Bouchard, director of the Parowan Film Festival and owner of the Aladdin Theatre, said Richard Rogers and Oscar Ilammerstein II, two famous American songwriters, personally picked Utah to film Oklahoma. They went to Oklahoma and couldnt find any scenery they liked he said. Thats why when you watch Oklahoma there are all the pretty Utah mountains in the background. According to www.americancinemasociety.org, the festival featured films such as The Searchers, Forest Gump, Evolution and the original Planet of the Apes. Bouchard said the movies were all accorded an honor by the American Film Institute. "Every film we pick has been on the AFI Top 100 Films list, he said. The festival was started to help keep the great film tradition in America from dying out, Bouchard said. We wanted to show these films to the next generation, he said. A lot of old people come and bring their families, and some of those kids are seeing these films for the first time. Weston Reese, festival attendee and Parowan resident, had a number of memories attached to the theatre in which the movies were being shown, he said. I came to this theatre when I was a kid, he said. Tonight my family came. Reese said he wanted to return on another night to see another movie, but life got in the way. 1 wanted to see The Searchers, but I (had) something to do, he said. I (had) to figure out another (one) to see. Amberle Stoffers, a freshman theatre arts major from North Ogden, said the film festival was great.

He was successful last year in increase getting a in the salary of SUU faculty. Money was also secured for the departments in order to compensate specific faculty who were significantly underpaid. Moneyforanewscience building would go to the replacement of the existing Science Building with one that is three stories tall and provides more labs and classrooms, ODriscoll said. The new building would need about $17 million in capital appropriations, improvements Benson said. We have already raised about $3 million in private funds, Benson said. Not only have we lead the . . . state for the last three years in percentage growth , the (College of Science) has lead our enrollment growth, ODriscoll said. Science has been one of the most successful departments every year for SUU, with placement rates in medical and dental school well above the national average, O'Driscoll said. five-perce- nt h or Fore information, cunf.H t Sut pi 01-- . 4 S u i pi u a SLiu.edu g 1 2L FINALS could be the least of your worries. you were kk or injured and didn't have health insurance, would you be able lo pay yout medical bills and your tuition See your Slate Farm ageti- today to find out mine about Student Select Insurance through Assurant Health.

Our performance far outpaces our budget when you consider SUUs standing as the ninth of nine schools when it comes to funding, Benson said. SUU is at the bottom of the barrel of appropriations but its students perform in the top of national rankings, Benson said. Assistant to the President on Regional Services Wesley e Curtis is a legislative representative for SUU and will be moving to Salt Lake City permanently on Monday in order to attend the legislative session, ODriscoll said. Sometimes its about catching those three lawmakers in the hall, ODriscoll said. Curtis will lobby for the university during the entire session and play a major role in getting appropriations for SUU, Benson said. Benson will also go to Salt Lake City three out of five days of the week, and more when the appropriations committee convenes on higher education, ODriscoll said. I am the chief lobbyist for the university . . . and (I) will promote our priorities, Benson said. The Education Higher Subcommittee for Appropriations will hear testimony from all the presidents of state schools while deciding who gets funding, Benson said. A strategic plan for spending and increased enrollment will testify of SUUs need for the funds, Benson said. Money for a new Globe Theatre will also be on the list of desires for this legislative session, Benson said. The legislature will also review the requirements for receiving tuition. Students who attended high school in Utah may be required to register as an entering student by May 1 , 2008 in order to receive tuition in the fall. $1 .5 million may go to advance the inmate education programs in the state. This would also be an annual appropriation. Purple Heart recipients will receive a waiver for graduate school if they are resident students. House Bill 271 amends the previous restrictions of covering up to $10,000 of graduate-schocosts. also will The legislature consider several bill requests, including higher education appropriations and higher distance-learnin- g education partnerships. full-tim- te te ry 53B-8e-10- 3, ol base-budg- et rttit nibtli!)

If a university policy was implemented that would clearly define and recognize all Greek organizations on campus, it would make the members of these two new organizations even more willing to cooperate and (the process) less difficult, Crawford said. Fornow, AlphaThetaBeta and Zeta Xi Zeta arc both still considered just clubs are not officially allowed to go through the rushing and pledging process, Raynor because today marks the start of Rush Week, the two organizations will be allowed to recruit new members just like a regular club, Raynor said.

Vesely said the Parowan Film Festival is an annual event. Its held once a year, she said. Usually the festival happens a bit later in the year, Bouchard said. The festival typically happens in February, but we had to move it up this year due to some conflicts, he said.
