H Bell, commissioner of higher education, touched off the exchange by calling for an information campaign to make students aware of the fedeially insured program that is year just beginning its first of operation. The debate concluded a meeting at Utah State University, in which the " 'v: ' " .s fv-- ' ''&''y''9 v, , - -' "- regents also- , ' Devoted several hours to discussing factors which should be considered in developing a student tuition policy. Data presented during that session cost of higher indicates the education has increased 66 to 87 percent over the past five years. The amount of increase depends on what cost factors are considered. Set of Concepts Announced a set of concepts to be followed by the colleges and universities in cutting expenses during the coming year. In approving the concept, the regents agreed to cooperate in cutting state spending as part of a tax reduction program, but stopped short of saying how much of the cut should come bom higher education. The governor has asked for a $15 million cut in state spending. Legislators meeting with the regents Monday said the governor expected higher education to account for $6 million of the cutback. The regents said higher education is already on a tight budget and $6 million would amount to a disproportionate share for the colleges and universities to make the ropajment at 7 percent interest Applications for the loans require a three-pa- rt form, one of which us supplied by the financial aid officer at the school the student wishes to attend, r ,ie from the bank supplying the loan, and one from tlie student The applications go to tlie Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority, which is housed in the commissioner s office, for jears Undergraduate students can borrow up to $2,500 a year to a maximum of $7,500 oxer four years Graduate students muy Imrrow to $5,000 a year to a maximum of $15,000 The problem.

Ends Hospital Stay Today Victim of Bear Recalls Terror By Angelyn Nelson Tribune Medical Editor A recuperating Marianna Young leaves the University of Utah Medical Center Wednesday morning seven weeks after an experience in which terrifying pales as a description. On June 13 the Ohio State University sophomore was mauled by a grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park. Despite her ordeal, one of her first stops after the hospital discharge will be to revisit the mauling scene. Marianna and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Young. Columbus, Ohio, are going to the park at invitation of the superintendent. John Towns.ey. He visited her during the hospitalization.

I just wanted to be off by myself, she explained from her hospital bed. At 10.30 a m. she started on a hike to Heart Lake, located at the south end of the park.

It's a big one. The new directory contains 1,240 more pages than half yellow-pag- e advertising and it weighs 5 pounds, three ounces. Imagine little old Salt Lake City with a telephone directory weigh- - lian Valentine pounds. We sure are growing. I can remember when a Salt Lake telephone directoiy was lucky to tip the mark on the scale. I lifted the new telephone directory on a recent morning and became curious what it would cost to send one through th- - United States mail at the new rates. So. I went over to the Pioneer post office in the Federal Building and asked my friend. Harriet Evans. of the most HARRIET IS ONE pleasant postal clerks in the business. Harriet is so charming and pleasant and helpful to postal patrons that you really don't mind paying 15 cents to mail a letter. Harriot did some fast figuring and told me it's possible to send the new Salt Lake City telephone directory to New York City for $2.03 thats if it's sent as bound, printed matter. Thats rather reasonable. However, the post office has a bigger bargain. If you want to send a copy of the new Salt Lake telephone directory to Qnetn FHteth In England, yon fan send it surface null for only $2.32. Dont write in asking me why Queen Elizabeth would want a copy of the new Salt Lake telephone directory. I just think it is quite a bargain to be able to send one to England for such a low pr.ee. But if you wanted to sent the new directory to a friend In Saudi Arabia and you sent it airmail, the postage would be $18.08. IM SURE GLAD I dont have a B-1- 4. 4. 4.

Based on what it said were a number of complaints from an affronted citizenry, tbe commission Tuesday said the billboard's owner. Galaxy Outdoor Advertising Inc., Murray, will be urged to modify the billboard. Citizens are particularly upset that the billboard, advertising the pleasures of Wendover, Nev., is oniy two blocks from the Mormon Temple, the center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, said Finance Commissioner Jennings Phillips Jr. Speaking for Galaxy, Robert Godwin said Tuesday the firm is working' on new artwork for the billboard and that the current advertisement is due to be replaced. Mr. Godwin said he personally does not find the billboard offensive, but if others do, were concerned. City Planning Board member I. J. Wagner, a longtime advocate of banishing all billboards from downtown Salt Lake City, acknowledged Tuesday that he has pressured the city commission to ask for the signs removal. Theres nothing we can do legally to get the sign down, he said. The billboard has a use permit. That means that the sign is not subject to a law passed a few years ago by the commission banning billboards in the downtown , area. The billboard was there before the law went into effect. said ?Ir.

Tuition Charges A division study committee composed of regents, institutional presidents. students and business representatives agreed that the cost of education. student incomes and their ability to pay, and the availability of credit should be among a number of concepts considered in developing a policy for establishing tuition charges. Data presented to the committee by Larry Chasten, assistant educational research director in the commissioners office, indicated the cost of educating students in the Utah Higher Education system can be pegged anywhere between $1,818 and $3,640 per student this year. Mr. Chasten said the higher figure was developed by dividing the total number of students in the system into the total budget of the higher education system, including its share of the cost of buildings. The $3,640 figure for 1978-7- 9 represents an increase of 66 percent over 1973-7when the same calculation produced a cost of $2,192 per student. Direct instructional costs for the current year were calculated at $1,818 The compared to $1,095 in 1973-7highest percentage increase was an 87.3 percent jump in the figure for direct state appropriations for education and general operations of the institutions. That figure is $2,311 per student this year, compared to $1,234 in 1973-7Educational Cost Mr. Chaston said a national survey indicated 25 of the 50 states have little or no policy dealing with the setting of tuitions. Several of the states with policies charge residents 25 percent of he cost of their education and non- residents 100 percent. Those slates, however, did not define bow they determine the educational cost. The tuition committee will meet again Sept. 13 in Salt Lake City.

The attorney, Roger Cutler, answered that raises for those employees would require a separate public hearing unless they were granted as merit increases. The public safety pay raise will cost about $10,000 annually, while the proposed public works adjustment would come to about $9,000. Mr. Agraz estimated.
