1 I I S) I I Gov. Scott Matheson receives the oath of office from Utah Supreme Justice Albert H. Ellett NEWSBBIEFS ASUU survey released University students questioned work at least part-time to help finance their educational costs. Of that majority, 15 percent work a 40-hour week, about 36 percent work 20 hours or less and 20 percent work between 20 and 40 hours per week. On the question of student income, the report said that roughly one third of the students earned less than $150 per month and another third earned between $150 and $350 per month.

One in four of the graduate students interviewed earned more than $1000 per month. The poll also noted that roughly 55 percent of the single students had monthly expenditures between $50 and $350. Among married students, 45 percent had monthly outlays of between $350 and $700. Scott Calder, ASUU president cited that student incomes and expenditures in the survey generally cancelled each other out and said the results support the ASUU position that further tuition increases would have a detrimental effect on students. He said that since so many students work to support their education, new tuition hikes would probably make it necessary for them to work additional hours to meet the higher schooling costs.

The report also noted that one student in ten has his or her education financed by parents and that over 43 percent of the interviewed students lived at home with parents, while about a third lived in rented apartments. Of the students who lived away from home, 20 percent paid $100 or less per month rent and 17.6 percent paid between $100 and $170 per month. by KIRK JOHNSON Chronicle staff Editor's Note: This is the first of two articles concerning a recently completed ASUU public opinion survey. Approximately 60 percent of the 500 students interviewed last November in a student opinion survey said they believed tuition rates were about where they should be, according to a report released by the Wasatch Opinion Research Corporation. The poll was commissioned by ASUU.

The report said 30 percent of the students interviewed considered current tuition rates "somewhat too high," and 8.2 percent considered costs "much too high." According to the report, 28.2 percent of the students said they wanted no change in tuition costs, while about 19 percent suggested that the rates be tied to the cost of living. Only about four percent favored further increases. One fourth said that if a tuition boost is necessary, it should not exceed $25 per year. The survey cost ASUU $3000 in total production costs, $2000 of which came from a special student involvement fund created this year to finance projects like the survey, and $1000 of which came from the Legislative Relations fund. The results of 500 telephone and face-to-face interviews, which were conducted the week of November 4-11, will be used by the Student Legislative Lobby in its efforts with the Utah State legislature this month.
