Show University of Wyoming Reduces Tuition For Utah Students BLM Publishes Technical Amendments and Corrections To 1996 i Use-and-Occupa- i ncy The University of Wyoming is offering Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) tuition reduction awards to qualified graduates of Utah high schools and transfers of Utah institutions of higher education. Both Utah and Wyoming participate in the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE), which coordinates the WUE program. Utah's college campuses are expected to experience a 40 percent enrollment increase during the next 10 years, according to a report in the magazine American Mining Rule The Bureau of Land Management today published technical corrections to a 1996 rule dealing with the use and occupancy of mining claims on lands. Among other things, the corrections clarify that the regulations apply to both lode and placer mining claims. This amendment responds to an assertion of some placer miners that the BLM's 1996 rule does not apply to placer mining, a contention that the BLM rejects. Placer mining is mining for minerals in glacial, alluvial, or marine deposits, while lode mining seeks minerals that have not weathered out or been displaced from their original environment "The technical amendments published today will clarify certain issues that have arisen since the BLM published its rule last year," said newly confirmed BLM Director Pat Shea. "We are publishing these amendments to ensure that all interested parties clearly understand the provisions of the 1996 rule and understand why we are enforcing this rule in a particular manner." The basic intent of the rule is to give BLM managers the administrative tools they need to stop persons from illegally occupying lands on mining claims they are using for purposes. The technical corrections to the 1996 rule, published in today's Federal Register, also clarify that occupants living in structures on public lands that violate State or local housing codes may be subject to an order to immediately suspend their activities. Thfs corrects a error in the 1996 rule. The rule inadvertently omitted violations of State and local codes from the list of circumstances that aii may cause the BLM to issue order. immediate suspension The 1996 rule that the BLM is correcting today does not affect any individual who is engaged in a legitimate mining operation on land. The rule forbids BLM mining claimants from illegally residing on or running busiunauthorized lands. nesses on cross-referenci- BLM-manag- Demographics. University of Wyoming tuition reduction is BLM-manag- BLM-manag- The original rule, published on July 16, 1996, was prompted by uses of BLM non-mini- mining claims by "squatters," including some who over the years illegally built saloons, hunting lodges, and fishing camps on BLM public lands. In more recent years, some persons have set up illegal drug labs or reprocessed hazardous materials on BLM public lands, abuses that the BLM is working to stop. The rule requires that a BLM mining claimant's use and occupancy must relate to prospecting or exploration, mining or processing operations, or other land uses that are reasonably related to such activities.

The University of Wyoming Board of Trustees recently approved the creation of 500 additional tuition reductions for students from WICHE states, including Utah. Based on current tuition rates, this means a Utah resident could attend the University of Wyoming for tuition and mandatory fees totaling reduced from $3,298 for 1998-9- 9, $7,414. "Over the years we have attracted a significant number of outstanding high school graduates from Utah," says University of Wyoming President Philip L. Dubois. "The expansion of WUE tuition reductions gives more Utah students an opportunity to get a quality University of Wyoming education at an even more reasonable cost" Utah high school students and transfers need not fill out any special applications for the WUE tuition reduction award. To be eligible, a student must be accepted for admission to the University of Wyoming and have a 3.0 (4.0 scale) grade point average or higher. 1, 1997, the University .
