Show T h u r s d a y , M a r c h 2, 2006 ™ DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE ASUU lowers student fees while expanding service ' Student government leaders successfully lobbied the administration to slash the college readership fee in half, from $5 to $2.50. The readership fee pays for the distribution of The Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret Morning News, New York Times and USA Today on campus. When the program was instituted two years ago, student government leaders overestimated the cost just to be safe, said John Poelman, vice president of the Associated Student of the University of Utah. In addition to lowering the fee, The Wall Street Journal will be added as one of the daily papers available to faculty and stu- dents. "Many of our students are required to use The Wall Street Journal for classes," said Martha Eining, executive associate dean of the School of Business. "Having the publication available to all students would be a great asset to our students and faculty. We would support this initiative." ASUU leaders also lobbied to maintain the current student government fee, which typically rises with inflation. "We felt that it didn't need to be raised because we still have a large surplus in the general reserve," Poelman said.

The CIS system includes access to student records information and HR applications, such as job postings. Patrick Muir , STUDENTS REACT TO CAMPAIGNING "We will present our proposal and then listen," Brinkman said. "Comments could have some future impact on decisions and will help us better understand student wants and opinions." "The Truth in Tuition meeting is a great way to keep administrators honest and students informed," Poelman said. "I honestly believe administrators are trying to keep the cost down." j.layton@chronicle.utah.edu NURSING FACILITIES UNDER RENOVATION Keefe, dean of the College of Nursing, said. The renovations and simulation center will enable students to learn in a more hands-on, risk-free environment, Keefe said. continued from Page 1 "Students learn to manage patient scenarios, engage in more than 10,600 square feet, critical thinking and develop which is more than double the competence in clinical care current simulation center's settings, which directly imsize, and will include three pacts patient safety and the medical/surgical patient care quality of health care delivrooms, one medical-surgical/ ered by these students," Keefe maternity room, a critical care said room and one pediatric room.

Kirkham said he thinks the Big Idea Party is making a mistake in not handing out food, and he plans to host a nursing student. While this new facility will be a "very positive thing," she said it is still important to not "focus completely on the academic setting," she said. "It's a benefit that students can make mistakes in simulations and learn from them," Jeffers said, "but there still has to be some learning in actual practice." In 10 years, it is estimated " f o o d f e s t . " ' v ,-•"••• "I think food is attractive; students like food a lot; it's a great way to meet people," he said. The BLOC Party had planned to hand out pancakes today, but was unable to because it had no propane to work the grill. However, Kirkham says he and his party will be back tomorrow with food The Big Idea Party ia hand- that there will be a 20 percent shortage in the number of nurses needed. The danger of this, Jeffers said, will be replacing quality time with patients for the more quick and efficient simulation setting. The important point, Jeffers said, is that "nurses are in charge of nurse education, not hospitals." m.ratcliffe@ chronicle.iitah.edu NEED MONEY? WE NEED YOU!
