Kamel, also an-, advisor to Egyptian President Hosny Mubarak on industrial issues, and his wife were accompanied by Egyptian Counsel General Madam Hager El Islambuoly in their visit to Utah. At UVSC, Kamel and Islambouly were "intrigued" by the two-tier structure of UVSC which provides both technological and academic training as explained to them as explained by UVSC Pres. Kerry Romesburg. "The Egyptian system has their industrial vocational training institutes completely separate from the educational system," Romesburg said. As the owner of many state of the art factories and industrial facilities which are constantly in need of skilled workers, Kamel saw the advantage of having such a two-tiered educational system in Egypt and along with Islambouly invited Romesburg to to come to Egypt.

Admissions requires that students provide their ACT scores as well as their high school transcripts. If ACT scores are not high enough, students are not rejected, however they are required to take the comprehensive asses-ment test. Lucille Stoddard, vice president for academic affairs said, "Students have an opportunity to be comprehensively ass-esed and find where their math, reading, and writing skills lie. Then they'll be placed appropriately. Sometimes students will find that their math or writing skills are below college level. That's a great oportunity for them to get the foundational courses so that when they get into college courses they're prepared for them." ravels io Egypt io explain UVSC way ) yt i? if ff -a .

Thayne will be the first participant in a series of events with distinguished Utah writers presented by the UVSC English Department. ! 2002 : UVSC has highly reccomended the comprehensive assesment test for years. It is no longer highly reccomended. Students who score below a 1 9 on the ACT are required to take the comprehensive assesment test. "We've collected data that shows, for the most part, students who score low on this test and don't take the reccomendations, are likely to fail. Students have the right to fail, but 1 don't like to see them set up for failure. That's what's happening, they're doing ii to themselves." Said Stoddard. While The Deseret News reports that 2,000 students were turned away due to space constraints, Lucille Stoddard said, "We don't deny students unless they don't meet the age requirements, etc. We are a two-tiered college and we do have those recently embarked on a trip to Egypt to advise to speak at UVSC on Friday : INSIDE Life!

If students were willing to. take their courses from four to six or later in the evening, or if they were willing to arrange their schedules in different patterns, there are spaces still available. We're not one hundred percent filled every hour, all day long." ' UVSC is currently negotiating plans to obtain more classroom space. "We're trying to get some space, we may even have to rent some" Stoddard said. "We'll be hard pressed with the number that we have now, 18,000 (students) if we don't have new space next fall. We think we're getting some news space next fall. If we get some and if we get our new information science building we'll be ok. We've done the archetectural drawings for that. EGYPT FACTS Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is the largest city in both the Middle East and Africa. Egypt's population is estimated at approximately 61.452,382 Egypt is rich In mineral resources such as phosphate, iron, and petroleum. The official language is Arabic. Egypt has a democratic government led by President Mohammed Hosni Mubarak and a parliament which was established 172 years ago. Situated in the northeast corner of Africa and includes parts of Asia, i.e. the Sinai Peninsula. It stands at the heart of the Arab world and at the center of the old world overlooking the Mediterranean. higher education AUTHOR-ITY FIGURE: Ema Lyu Thayne, a well renowned author will speak in the Regan Theater on Friday. The corridor will come right off the trades building into the information science building. If we get that approved this year, that would be great. If we don't get new space approved this year, we'll be in trouble with 18,000 students." Even if the plans are approved for the information science building the building will not be finished for several years. Administration has no plans of changing the open enrollment policy. Students planning on attending UVSC arc advised to apply and register for their classes as early as they can. For those students in need of financial aid. it is also advised to apply as early as possible for financial aid. Jordan retires from NBA Ben Stapley Executive Sports Editor The end of an era has arrived. According to numerous sources around the country, Chicago Bulls superstar Michael Jordan will officially announce his retirement today at noon eastern. Jordan's announcement brings to an end six months of speculation as to whether or not His Airnss would hang up his Nikes, or shoot for a seventh championship ring. It is likely that Jordan's decision was influenced by the seven month lockout that ended last week, but caused irreparable damage to the season (and the league), and will surely leave an asterisk next to this year's champion. With Jordan's retirement, the NBA will be left with an irreplaceable void. Michael stormed onto the NBA scene in 1984 as the third pick in the NBA draft, averaging over 28 points a game as a rookie. He has been the central catalyst in the rising popularity of the NBA since the early 80s. when many franchises were losing money and the future of the league seemed unsure. Since 1984, Jordan has won ten scoring titles, three more than any other player, amassing 29.277 points (third all-time) in the process. Also on his resume: five league MVP awards, nine time All-NBA defensive team member, two slam dunk championships, and 25 game-winning shots, including a jumper over Utah's Bryon Russell with 5.2 seconds left in game six of last year's finals. That shot, the last of his unparalleled career, gave the Bulls their sixth NBA title in the 90's. It is also estimated that Jordan has been worth over $10 billion dollars to the NBA. the Chicago Bulls, and the countless companies that have endorsed him, such as Nike, Gatorade, Coca-Cola. etc. Jordan had said that he would not return to the Bulls unless Phil Jackson remained as head coach. He also said a lot depended on the return of Scottie Pippen. who is a free agent. The Bulls hired Tim Floyd in the off-season to take over as head coach, so all signs pointed toward th: end of Michael's NBA career.
