Like theterm-limits movement, it has been scoring notable successes at the state level and now is emerging as a national issue. this summer, New E nglish-only initiatives convey a message of intolerance to cultural diversity. Rep. Ed Pastor, D-Calif. Earlier Hampshire became the 22nd state to make English its exclusive language for public documents and public proceedings. While that action may have special significance for candidates eyeing itsfirst-in-the-nation presidential primary, it is just one step in what advocates see as an When then-Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas signed the Arkansas version of the law in 1987, only eight other states had such statutes. Next month, the first congressional hearings on the issue have been called by Rep. Randy (Duke) Cunningham, R-Calif., whose San Diego district may be as sensitive to the repercussions of illegal immigration as any in the country. Rep. Bill Emerson, R-Mo., has collected 180 co-sponsors on his bill to make English the official language, and Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., has 18 names on his companion measure. According to officials at U.S. English, an advocacy group supporting the Emerson-Shelby bill, it would make English "the primary, but not the exclusive, language of government." All documents, records and proceedings would have to be in English, but there could be "common sense exceptions" for other languages in hospitals, emergency rooms, police stations, schools, tourism facilities, etc. Other legislation, sponsored by Reps. Toby Roth, R-Wis., and Peter King, R-N.Y., goes further and specifically eliminates both bilingual ballots and bilingual education. Rep.

Critics ot the measure contend that all these measures are hostile to recent immigrants. When Maryland Gov. Parris N.

Ed Pastor, D-Calif., told the Associated Press about the same time that "English-only initiatives convey a message of intolerance to cultural diversity." Advocates say the intent is to foster national unity and argue that the growth in the number of immigrants who know only their native languages is encouraged by bilingual education programs and by state practices allowing people to take drivers license exams and fill out ballots in a wide variety of languages. They also cite the cost of translating and printing notices into multiple languages.Bilingual education programs designed to teach students with little English are supported by aquarter-billion-dollar annual federal expenditure. They long have generated controversy between those who see them strictly as a transitional device and those who view them as an important prop to preserving diverse cultures.

Across, Page 6 UVSC; invests in the community Rich Asay News Editor A recently released study shows that the money invested by taxpayers in Utah Valley State College reap a more than 500 percent return. For every one dollar that is invested in the school, the school in one way or another gives the community $5.30 dollars. The study which was compiled by the Office of Institutional Research, demonstrated the gains since the last study which was done in 1989. According to the data prepared by Joseph Curtin, the total tangible economic impact has increased 74 percent since the 1989 study. Terry Haas, Associate Director of Institutional Research said that the results of the study were reported conservatively. The study, which focused on the 1993-94 school year, also reflected the growth that the school has undergone, and attributed much of the economic impact to the amount of students which are now attending UVSC. Combined with the student population from BYU, there are more than 50,000 students in Utah Valley this year. The increase in student enrollment from study to study was 35 percent, suggesting the significance of the school and its presence here in the valley. The study showed that over the academic year the state invested a little over $128 million dollars, and UVSC created $98 million dollars of economic activity, and generated the equivalent of 1,696 full-time jobs for the residents of Utah County. Many of the ways in which students affect the community, are the ways that they spend their money. Restaurants such as Los Hermanos located in downtown Provo, notice marked decreases in business when the students leave for the summer. "It's definitely busier during the school year," said Michael Degn, one of the managers at Los Hermanos. "It impacts us quite a bit (when school starts), with significant percentage increases," he said. Businesses dealing with entertainment also notice the population fluctuation, Ryan Woodard of Miracle Bowl, a bowling alley in Orem said, "It is substantially slower." When the students return, so do the dates, movie nights, and dining out. One of the major differences between BYU and UVSC student lives, is the self contained nature of BYU. Invest, Page 6
