Sheffield said members of the the Executive Council, including Whitbeck, will be working hard together to end the year well and rock the status quo.

Beatty said the SFAC did a great job in investigating and asking for clarification about what this fee is used for. The SFAC will still be meeting with the fee representatives for more clarification. This fee funds programs and positions that are absolutely needed and necessary, but I think the SFAC inquisition will help us closely examine how and what they are, Beatty said. Ive gotten voicemails or a text message from a bank that I have an account with, Staley said. It said there were problems with my account. But I called my branch directly and asked what was going on. They told me flat out my account was fine, and it was a running scam. If I did respond to them I would have given the bad guys everything they needed. Staley said another helpful tip comes from debit card matters. Instead of signing his card, he writes see ID so merchants will check for his photo to verify his identity. Staley also said little things like covering up they keypad while you are typing in your PIN is a must. The person behind you in line might look nice, but who knows, Beatty said he is not certain exactly what will happen with this fee in the future, but administrators have come up with some ideas that might work. There are also other wonderful programs and projects that are institutionally funded that would easily fit under and be the responsibility of students to fund, so one idea is to possibly swap funding sources so that they clearly align with the definition of student fees, Beatty said. Apart from these two fees, there are some other adjustments being proposed by members of the SFAC, Beatty said. Extra money is being Staley said. They could be working with the person in front of you to get all your information. You never know who the bad guy is. Craig Harding, public information officer for the St. George Police Department, said other helpful tips would be to keep your receipt rather than throw it away, or take it home and shred it. And also, never tell a bank teller you account number out loud in a drive-thr- u or teller window. Harding also said if you recieve something in the mail claiming to be a great deal, offering a large amount of money or other extravagant items for next to nothing, dont fall prey to it.

Members of the SFAC are asking for for each new fee. One fee Beatty said he was excited for is the One Time Fund. The SFAC did a great job this year in proposing this new fee, which allows support for specific projects that e are more of a than nature funding having to raise and or create a new fee so frequently, Beatty said. This was definitely done in the best interest of all DSC students and over the long haul will help keep student fees from increasing so TheaterDanceMusic Art. Fee increases range anywhere from $1-- 2 $1-1.- apiece. Each entity receiving fees came to the SFAC and presented justification and documentation about their fee request, Beatty said. The Testing Center had great reasons (slow computers, the need for additional proctors, desks that would better accommodate students of all sizes, etc.) as to why they needed their fee. Also, three new fees are being proposed.

College apartments are notorious for having a large number of residents and visitors each day, and there is a chance someone could easily have access to and never keep them written in a place others can access easily. And to avoid computer hackers, some important password tips are a must. Use passwords with a combination of numbers and letters, avoiding obvious observations like your birthday, street address, pet or family member names, etc. It is also a good idea to change your password every two to three months.
