FCU began in very humble circumstances in 1947, in the basement of a church. With its original funding coming from 13 individuals associated with Geneva Steel, FCU began with $65 in assets. Now, FCU has over 11,250 members and nearly $50 million in assets. These members have the privilege of many services, includ ing: Share Savings, Free Share Draft Checking, Money Market Accounts, Payroll Direct Deposit, Travelers Checks, 24 Hour Automated Teller, Club Accounts IRA's Money Orders, ATM access, Member Life, Accident and Dental Insurance. FCU's loan services include: Low rate Auto, Signature, VISA Credit Cards, VISA Debit Cards, RV loans, Home Equity, Construction, First and Second Mortgages. With all these services and the professionalism that makes them a quality organization, FCU hopes to be a great asset to the students of UVSC. A Student Survival Kit will also be given to the first 3,000 students that open accounts at the new branch. The new credit union office is located on the main level of the student center across from the bookstore. FCU is also proud of an additional award they have received recently. In Jan. 1997, Bauer Financial Reports, Inc., awarded its five-star Superior rating to FCU for the 8th consecutive term.

Barry R. McCaffrey, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, announced the designation of the new "High 1 Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas" on Monday. The designation is designed to help states coordinate drug control efforts. The five regions will receive $23 million from Congress toward that purpose, McCaffrey said. The Rocky Mountain region, including several counties in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, will receive S3 million. The Utah counties are Davis, Salt Lake, Summit, Utah and Weber. The other regions include the Cascade area, made up of seven counties in Washington state; the Gulf Coast, including several counties and parishes in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana; the Lake County region of Lake County, Ind., and the Midwest region including counties in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota. The first high intensity drug trafficking were designated in 1990 and included Houston, Los Angeles, New York-New Jersey, South Florida and the southwest border. Office spokeswoman Lisa Gibson said executive committees, made up of federal state and local law enforcement officers, have been assigned to each region and will decide how the federal funds will be divided.
