TUITION RULE NEEDS A MAKEOVER
Once again, students at Utah State University and other state
schools are lobbying the Legislature to reverse House Bill 331,
which makes it harder for non-resident college students to become
Utah residents and pay lower tuition. This legislation was the
product of short-sighted, unbalanced government. Instead of
generating an additional $5 million, it cost around $2 million.
It drove students from our state and is keeping out-of-state
students from coming in. (Standard Examiner, 01/21/03)
CELEBRATING CERAMICS AT USU’S ART MUSEUM
As part of the 20th Anniversary Celebration at Nora Eccles
Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University, pieces from
the museum’s extensive ceramics collection will be featured.
The ceramic exhibition features 200 of the 1,250 works in the
museum’s permanent collection. The exhibit includes a
little something for everyone - from a fantastic teapot that
looks like a cactus to wheel-thrown vases three feet tall, said
Victoria Rowe, director of the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum.

GAY FILM FEST GOES BY QUIETLY
The adage “No news is good news” was perhaps never
more true than for the Gay Pride Alliance at Utah State University.
After weathering sporadic controversy since the inception of
PrideFest, members of the club celebrated the fourth annual
Gay and Lesbian Film Festival at USU recently without incident.
