Utah hosted No. 3 in the Pac 10, Washington State, in a midweek contest Tuesday evening. The Utes continued their struggles picking up a 13-8 loss, their 10th straight.

The U School of Medicine dropped 20 of its 102 seats for the incoming class of 2009 because of financial cuts, keeping students such as Shelton from fulfilling their aspirations at the U. The cut came from a $10 million disallowance of funds from the federal government, meaning it diverted money originally allocated to the U by the Utah Legislature to train physicians toward other purposes.

Architects on campuses across the country are designing new buildings to be more energy efficient and less wasteful because these green designs cost less to build and maintain, said Jen Colby, sustainability coordinator for the U Office of Sustainability.

As of March, The Daily Utah Chronicle had fallen about $47,000 in debt from a continuing decline in advertising revenue. KUTE under spent its budget by $2,000 this year, but the historically indebted student radio station has no funds to grow, pay its staff, hire a much-needed faculty adviser or advertise, said station manager Sean Halls.

Executive cabinet positions have been filled and many of the boards have begun working on the promises made by newly elected officials during the Associated Students of the University of Utah election, said Student Body President-elect Tayler Clough.

Denton said he has no way of knowing what students are doing on their laptops during classes, and even when he hears the constant hammering on keyboards, he can't prove students aren't just taking notes.

U administrators said the medical school, which decreased the 2009-2010 incoming class size by 20 students in the face of a 40 percent budget drop, could receive an additional revenue source if Utah legislators reintroduced a bill that would increase taxes on cigarettes to one cent above the national average.

With all the grandeur assigned to going green, students should examine their own habits. Helping install solar panels or lobbying for wind power only goes so far if you are still throwing trash on the ground.
