spaces to visitor's parking was passed by the Parking Committee and later okayed by President Lazier “The decision benefits everyone” said Stan Pollock coordinator of traffic and building and is on a temporary security basis until the parking terrace is built" The remaining 135 parking spaces will be for visitors and the fees will be set up on an hourly basis The amount of the fees will be determined in two weeks at the next Parking Committee meeting The traffic office and Auxiliary Services are working together in making a recommendation to the committee A validation program will be

Swenson it is ficult to forsee how the planned tuition increase and other decisions will affect USU “We here at USU have seen the tuition take two large jumps in the past two years So if any tuition hikes come about we would rather see the students absorb the cost” said Swenson who added that he did not know if the regents will go along with that thinking “We don't want to lose our students because they can 't afford to come here” he said Regent Neal Maxwell of Salt Lake City represented the overall atmosphere of the meeting in saying “I feel the golden age of higher education in Utah in
