Utah 84603 Friday, December 2, 1983 Students Vote Yes On Football By Richard Hewitt On November 22 and 23, students were given the opportunity to vote on the institution of the proposed football program at Utah Tech. Since the proposed program would rej quire student funds for its intial operation, it needed student approval through such a voting. The completed vote favored having the program by a large margin. A total of 728 votes were counted between both the Tuesday and Wednesday sessions. Of that number 76 or 553 favored the institution of a football program at UTC. The opposing votes accounted for only 24 or 175 of the total votes. Voters were also asked if they agreed to a four dollar student fee increase to support the program. Of the 709 responses (some did not complete the question on the ballot) 72 or 508 favored the additional fees. 28 or 201 Voters opposed any additional fees for such use. ' The turnout was quite small especially for such a controversial issue. Officials were hoping the two-day long voting with both day and evening sessions would permit a larger turnout. Tom Hover, Director of Student Services, says, "We tried to give everyone the opportunity by having such a voting session." Although the proposal has won student approval it still awaits approval by the Board of Regents. The Board approval is needed before any large scale athletic program can be instituted in any of Utah's colleges or universities. Mr. Hover says he is unsure of the outcome of the vote but feels the Board will view the proposal much more favorably since it Winter Quarter Registration Set In order to determine the day you are scheduled to register (December 7, 1983 through December 16, 1983) you need to determine the total number of credit hours you have earned.

If the Board passes the proposal it will require substantial funds to begin and to operate. It is planned to have the program phased-in over a two year period. First year phase-in has a projected cost of $116,000, most of which is proposed to come from student fees. The funds would be obtained from the four dollar increase in student fees. These will be assessed on students in July of next year if the proposal is accepted. In order that the school might recruit a quality team, the school has agreed to use $7,000 for athletic waivers. These waivers would be used as athletic scholarships in hopes of attracting talented team members. In addition to the waiver cost, $50,000 would be expected to be used for general recruiting. Both costs are included on the projected first year outlay. The majority of the first year costs would be used for hiring a head coach and obtaining equipment such as bleachers, goalposts, and uniforms. No team would be fielded during the first year. This period would be used for acquiring the equipment and generally organizing and publicizing the program. Much of the responsibility for the organization and support of the team will be placed on the head coach. It is not known at this time who would fill this position but emphasis would be placed on hiring someone qualified. "The head coach would be expected to raise an estimated $60,000 to help offset the costs," says Mr. Hover. "The majority of these would pro- The Influence of Christmas on the Christmas lights for the bringing shopers free of charge bably be in the form of donations." The team would begin playing during the second year of the phase-in period. It would be competing against such schools as Ricks, CEU, and Snow Colleges. Second year costs are projected to be around $81,000. At this time an additional two dollar fee would be included in student fees. This increase would be needed to field the team and begin playing. It is estimated $25,000 of the cost would come from donators. The overall increase in student fees is marginal when compared with other school fees. Snow College has $65, Dixie has UTC Instructor Dies Suddenly Salomon "Sol" Aranda, a favorite instructor at Utah Technical College for the past 17 years, died at Utah Valley Hospital on November 25, 1983.

The first step has been taken towards getting a UTC football team by winning student approval. Although few voted, the favorable outcome will represent the support of the whole studentbody. Since the program would be funded without state support, students will fund the majority of the program's institution. The proposal now only requires the approval of the Board of Regents.

The state defines a tran sient as an individual or family traveling from outside the state, through Utah, to a destination outside the state. In-state transients are not handled by the state. The Utah County area has no transient shelters like the ones set up in Salt Lake City and ogden to care for homeless individuals, but Richins said he believes the transients are being cared for in this area. Through the "transient network" the transients are provided with emergency food, travel or gasoline to continue their journey through the state, Richins said. In emergency situations, the individuals are given lodging overnight in the Roberts Hotel or in other hotels in Wasatch or Summit counties, he reported. "I know of no shelter problems for these people," Richins declared. He noted that Salt Lake County has the transient shelters, Rescue Mission, and County Rejects Pay Hike Utah County Commis- For regular employees the sioners emphatically rejected a recommendation Monday to in- crease the salaries of county elected and appointed officials in the 1984 budget. Line Woodis operations run by the Salvation Army and other organizations. Myla Dutton, project coordinator for the Utah County Community Action Agency (CAA) said that agency receives frequent referrals from local churches and other organizations. "We have referrals from the local Catholic Church and from the Community Congregational Church and some others," she reported. The police departments in Provo and Orem also have limited resources to help people during the hours when the other agencies are closed. While CAA has limited funds, some help is given in providing food, shelter, and possibly referrals for short-term jobs to help individuals or transient familes, Dutton said. She indicated that most of the people they see have come into the area looking for work. "If they have a family somewhere, we try to help them with food and gas to go on to where they may find more than they can find here. Jobs are scarce here," she said. "Some families are moving because of the recession and come here to look around for work," she reported.
