The cost of tuition throughout Utah is gradually getting higher year by year; this doesn't leave the College of Eastern Utah out of the mix.
Schools across the state are hiking their tuition costs, as they were approved in a Utah Board of Regents meeting on April 1 at Snow College.
An article in the Salt Lake Tribune's April 2, 2010 issue stated, "The fact that other Utah schools cost from 64 to 89 percent of the national average is little consolation to the young, often married students struggling to attend classes."
For the 2010-2011 year at CEU, tuition will have a 9.5 percent increase according to HigherEdUtah.org, making the total increase $201. Todd Olsen, director of admissions and scholarships, quoted what the total tuition next year will be $2,228.
Jed Pitcher, chair of the regents, said at the meeting on April 1, "These increases are necessary to preserve the quality of education at our institutions. Higher education remains the best investment...

When the H1N1 Swine Flu outbreak occurred last year, it sent a panic throughout communities.   The government was concerned that this might be "the one," an influenza outbreak that would jump the threshold, and mobilized quickly to develop a vaccine.   Within a few months they succeeded and the first shipments were being shipped across the country.  
As it turned out, H1N1 was a relatively mild epidemic, leaving health officials breathing a huge sigh of relief.   Given the history of the last great Influenza Pandemic, they had good cause to worry.  
In 1917 the Spanish Influenza killed around 50 million people worldwide (this coming on the heels of a world already traumatized by a horrific war waged through mechanization and chemical means), zoning in on young and healthy adults.
While incredibly relieved, health officials began to notice a disturbing trend that the American public was not fully participating in obtaining any of the two types of vaccines available...

"The first day of school I knew we had a good team," said College of Eastern Utah's head basketball Coach Chris Craig. The third place in the nation CEU Golden Eagles were better than good this year ... they were scrappy, loose and had a great time beating nationally ranked teams.
"Right from the get-go I thought we had enough talent to be good, it was a question of chemistry and could we get everyone to work together," echoed first-year assistant coach Brad Barton.

I am furious. Furious at the hierchy of the Church of Rome. This isn't the first time. The last 10 years have been difficult with scandal after scandal coming forward. But I am at the point where I have had enough; enough of the vehement denials and counter attacks by a Vatican which seems to still not get it ... this is not an administrative problem.

College life is the first step on the road to becoming an adult and what it's really like to have your parents take care of you. School is harder; less classes and no your mother can't call you in sick so you suck it up and go to class. Has college changed me? Have I become an ideal member of society? The answer should be obvious but, it isn't.
