Show Campus News f he Utah Statesman! HOUSING From page 1 Putnam said. "If you can make a connection with the school you are attending, you're a lot more likely to stay and enjoy your experience and hopefully graduate, because hopefully that's the reason you started in the first place," she said. To help recruit new students to the housing, Jensen and his department give twice-daily tours of housing and offer a discounted lunch to students who tour the campus. "I think they've been extremely pro-active this year. I can understand the unbelievable weight that is probably on them tofillall these rooms," Putnam said. Jensen thinks students should choose to live on campus, especially the suite-style housing, because they don't have to worry about roommate conflicts that arise from living in apartment-style housing.

He brought up benefits of having a meal plan. He said, by having a place to eat and not having to make food, you eat healthier and you don't have to worry about your roommate stealing your food. He said students can use the community fridge, one located on eachfloor,or they can buy a mini fridge for their room if they are worried about someone taking their food. "Particularly in those first couple of years students have plenty enough to deal with anyway, and if they cannot have to deal with those kinds of issues, it turns out to be a very positive thing," Jensen said. The funding for the housing came from a bond with the state of Utah and USU. With the bond they are paying for the housing a little at a time. "We're an auxiliary, we're not here, per se, to make a profit. We're here to try and provide a great support to the university," Jensen said. Rent money from the students goes toward future housing projects and to help older facilities. "We do want to provide good housing and we want to be able to continue to infuse more money into our older facilities," said Jensen. One of those things they are working on now is highspeed wireless internet for all on-campus student housing. He said it is planned to be installed in each living center by fall 2007Jensen said it is all for the goal of helping the students succeed. "I'm hoping students will take advantage of the close proximity to everything you need on campus by living here," said Putnam. The festival honors were not unexpected for "Anna and the Tropics." Linford said they could tell during the plays production and performance that there was something special about it. The play captured festival adjudicators' attention, literally, the moment they walked in the door to the theater as they were met with the smell of cigars and the sound of Cuban music that filled the theater. "The play succeeded in building the tropics in the midst of winter in Logan, helping you get into this different kind of world in an emotional and sensual sort of way," said Maria Cordero, an associate professor of Spanish at USU. Cordero was born in Matanzas, Cuba, near Havana, and worked with the cast and producers to help the play have an authentic Cuban feel. Cordero said "Anna" helped give her "a way to connect with (Cuban) culture in Utah and teach about it to other people." The festival recognition helps to add prestige to the USU's theatre department and helps with recruiting, Linford said. "(The festival's recognition shows) we do productions that qualify as national representatives of the best." The cast and crew of "Anna in the Tropics" should find out shortly if they will be invited to perform in the national festival in April at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. -tliljegren@cc.usu.edu -ranaebang@cc.usu.edu Titti II Tuition funds will be allocated io support.

Each year a loan recipient teaches at a school in Utah after graduating results in one year's worth of loan debt being repaid. Menlove, who is a former high school teacher and administrator, served on the House Public Education Appropriations Subcommittee, which played a role in determining the money to be spent on education. Also approved was a bill putting nearly $5 million toward new degree programs being developed at USU's regional campuses around the state and in partnerships with other universities. The budget also allows $2.5 million for the planning of a new Agricultural Science Building at USU. The increase in education spending comes largely because of a massive state budget surplus this year, Menlove said. Half of the surplus was given to education, she said. -dfelix@cc.usu.edu Want a flexible, on-campus job? Come work for The Statesman. E-mail campusuews® statesman.usu.edu or drop by TSC room 105.
