Show new/ MONDAY* MARCH 13*2006 A3 Tuition and student fee Team Excel sweeps student elections increases finalized From ELECTIONS-Al The Board of Trustees and State Legislators have finalized proposed increases in tuition and student fees. First tier tuition, decided on by the state, will increase by four percent, while second tier tuition, determined by UVSC, will increase by five percent. Additionally, student fees will increase by 27 dollars, bringing the total cost including tuition and fees for a full-time resident student to $1654.10. Though the tuition increase is not as severe as initially proposed, UVSC's tuition remains the second highest of the public schools in the state, just under the University of Utah. , "It makes me really upset, it's really frustrating to come here from out of state and pay as much as a major university," said Brittany Patterson, a Junior majoring in AVC. "This makes me want to get a scholarship and look at schools with more reasonable fees for what they offer." State legislature approves UVSC's Digital Learning Center FrornDLC-AI lative session disappointed that UVSC did not receive funding at that time. However, now that the school has obtained funding, school administrative officials and students are celebrating. With funding secured for its library, UVSC was considered one of the winners of the legislative session. The school also came away with successful results in some other areas UVSC's second priority, compensation, was increased by 3.5%. Additionally, a bill passed allowing colleges and universities to charge up to S30 per credit for concurrent enrollment. "These new funding sources will help stabilize the concurrent enrollment program," Sederburg said. With funding for the Digital Learning Center procured, it seems the school's next major item will be the push for university status. In February, both Sederburg and student-body president Jared Sumsion commented on the DLC being the school's top current legislative priority, with the move to university status being the next logical new facility include a large increase in circulating volumes, an extended hours area, as well as a dramatic increase in the number of computers and study rooms. With the current library set in an area of heavy traffic with few available study rooms, many students currently choose to study elsewhere on campus. The new library will boast 60 groupstudy rooms, compared to the four available in the current facility, and is sure to become a hub of activity. The large building will be located to the north of the Liberal Arts building. This location will eliminate many of the current parking stalls available on campus. To offset the parking loss, UVSC officials plan to build another lot at the north end of campus. The library has long been seen as a crucial step to UVSC's evolution to university status. The school has been pushing for library funding since president Sederburg arrived three years ago. Many came away from last year's legis- item on the school's agenda. versus Matt Harrison's 679. Marissa Neumann received 1263 votes against Carolyn Theurer's 809 for the vice president of student activities post. Long-time student government fixture Nick Parmley picked up 1345 votes against Adam Slee's 729 votes in the bid for vice president of clubs. The constitutional change proposed by the current student government involving the merger of two Academic Senate seats passed overwhelmingly with 1712 voting yes against 256 voting no. Total votes for this election were down sharply from last year with a total of 2292, or roughly 11.3 percent of the eligible voters. Last year's Vegor Pedersen/NetXNews total votes were over 4000.
