MM h s G Shawn Mansell Your News Editor President Sederburg announced the college's recommendations for increasing tuition at a sparsely attended public meeting on Wednesday. Even free nachos didn't pack the center stage area of the student center. Students will be looking at a five to eight percent increase in tuition.

"Utah has an interesting system," Sederburg said. The tuition formula is broken down in to two tiers. The first tier is set by the state and regu-lated by the board of regents. The school is in charge of second tier levels. The first tier increases usually happen to, accommodate raises in state employee salaries. A three to four percent increase in first tier tuition is anticipated. "We don't want to be known as the education. " -William Sederburg UVSC President During his presentation, Sederburg pointed out that UVSC is still well below national and regional averages for public four-year colleges and universities. This increase is smaller than previous years. The new revenue would tally between approximately two and three and half million dollars. Sederburg said the new money is a must if UVSC is to continue to grow. To keep the full-time instructors they need, as well as add needed student advisors, Sederburg feels additional funds will be required. He wants to get faculty salary averages within 90 percent of the national average. "Second tier tuition is the only tool we have to get these things," he said. "We don't want to be known as the Wal-Mart of higher education," Sederburg said, explaining that doing everything as cheaply as possible isn't his favored philosophy.Leland Page, ASUVSC Vice President of Academics, has previously disagreed with tuition increases, but he sees a need this year. "I'm for these increases," he said. s ' UVSC President William Sederburg held his annual Truth in Tuition hearing last Wednesday. He told students that the 2nd tier tuition may be raised anywhere from five to eight percent next year.

The month of February has been labeled as Black History Month since its original name of "Negro History Week" in 1926. Everywhere, people are celebrating a month that was designated as Black History Month due to Harvard Scholar Harvard G. Woodson, who initiated "Negro History Week" because of the birthdays of two very influential men in Black History, namely President Abraham Lincoln and American abolitionist Frederick Douglas. Many other important events also took place in February that makes February a historic month, including the birthday of W.E.B Dubois, the passing of the 15th amendment, the foundation of the oldest union in the United States, the NAACP, and the birth of Malcom X. In the past, the Black Student Union (BSU) has played a major role in the celebration of Black History Month at UVSC, but this year things have been a little different. Due to a change in the presidency, this month's celebrations and events have been missing compared to past years. Past events included a Black History Conference, classroom presentations on Black History Month, along with other evening events. This year, Quiana Arnold is replacing former President Marleen Neptune. BSU Advisor, Nancy Campbell spoke of how the transition and emergence of a new president has changed things for Black History Month in comparison to last year. "The students aren't driving it as much as they could be," she said, and she attributes this to organization that is lost in a presidential transition. The BSU assert their mission as being to "create unity among black students, help each other discover our roots and culture; in turn sharing our culture and serving the Frederick Douglas, Abraham Lincoln and Malcom X were all influential players in Black history, and they all share February birthdays.

President Sederburg initiated the committee last fall, whose membership includes UVSC faculty members and students, as well as 47 representatives throughout the community. According to Vale Hale, UVSC consultant for community relations, the objective of the committee is to, "Provide an on-going forum for feedback and an interchange of ideas between UVSC and the community in order to proac-tively address challenges and issues affecting the college, its neighbors, and its stakeholders."Following the events surrounding filmmaker Michael Moore's 2004 visit to UVSC, President Sederburg formed an executive committee that is co-chaired by Jack Zenger, Chair of UVSC's Board of Trustees, and Reverend Dean Jackson, Pastor of the Rock Canyon Church. Other members of the executive committee include Jeanette Bechkam, Trustee; Jack Christianson, Director of the Orem LDS Institute of Religion; Ian Wilson, UVSC Vice President for Institutional Advancement; Brad Cook, UVSC Provost and Academic Vice President, as well as Val Hale, UVSC consultant for community relations. The executive committee met together and determined that it would be in the best interest of the committee to, "Put together a task force about 25 people, to try and get the best thinkers in the valley together," said Hale. The result of that task force meeting is a committee that boasts representation from many diverse organizations and people throughout Utah Valley, including school districts, businesses, and city and federal government and law enforcement agencies. The task force meeting also identified three areas that the Community Relations Committee will focus on, and then created three subcommittees within the main committee.
