She applied for and received a grant from the gov ernment to fund the club. "Non- traditional jobs are considered those jobs that have 25 or less women in them. We have thirty two degrees offered in technology but we're only focusing on 24 of them," Kath-ryn Durrant-Tew, contact for "Women in Technology, said.

Students might feel more at ease when they realize the facts, figures and finances of parking enforcement. Parking services are working hard to solve student concerns, said Steve Jackson, Director of Parking Services. "It costs a lot of money to run the parking services", said Jackson. Parking Services is responsible for hiring booth workers, citation officers and office employees, but they also provide shuttle buses, traffic lights and lot signs. Plowing and paving lots are also the responsibilities of the parking services. One paved lot can cost up to one million dollars, Jackson said. Jackson also explained that the department is not making a profit off of student money. "People just don't realize how much a small sign costs!" exclaimed Jackson. In fact, much of the new lot construction requires money that parking services does not have. Bonds have to be bought in order to afford expansions. These must be paid back quarterly.

Governor urges UVSC students to vote By Rob Kempton UlWrasSlall Lieutenant Governor Olene Walker came to Utah Valley State College to urge students to get out and vote. Recent statistics in Salt Lake City show that only 29 percent of the population showed up at the polls in the last mayoral election. "I often wonder if we take democracy for granted," Walker said. She then related her experiences in Haiti where votes are either changed or thrown into dumpsters. Citizens are less likely to vote because they have lost confidence in their government. Such extremes are not the case in this country, but voters still don't turn up, Walker said. "I asked an eight year old what democracy was and he responded, 'Democracy means that people rule! So everybody's gotta do something,'" said Walker. "That was better than any text book definition I'd ever heard." Research done by Walker showed that voter turnout coincides with the voter's age. Twenty percent of 20-ycar-okls vote, thirty percent of 30-year-olds vote, and so on until the age of sixty.
