By requiring undocumented students who work to pay out-of-state tuition, the bill is also pricing the students out of a college education. The Legislature needs to vote down this bill, which will only result in discrimination and restrict the possibilities of hundreds of students seeking a better quality of life.

If you attended the recent lecture by scientist Richard Davidson at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, you witnessed an individual (me) who questioned his research regarding compassion and the human brain.

The Utes were able to get away with that against Wyoming, but if they want to be successful Wednesday night against the 16-5 San Diego State Aztecs, they'll need to be on their A game.

The Aztecs took the first contest of the year on their home floor, and Utah is looking to return the favor with a home win of its own. With both teams riding four-game winning streaks and a 7-2 Mountain West Conference record into the Huntsman Center, the Utes understand how big a win this would be.

The proposed Universe Project is attractive and appealing in some ways but has a number of problems that drown out its positive aspects.

Textbooks, overdue parking tickets and tuition are enough to burn a hole through anyone's wallet. So for a group that complains so much about being poor, college students can't afford to be the spenders that statistics prove they are. As corporations capitalize on our spending habits, we should exercise a little more self-control, cut up a credit card or two, plan meals better and create a weekly budget to limit buying on impulse.
