Corky Hansen News Editor

In order to propose and discuss ideas about how BSU can become a safer campus, the ASBSU, the Association for NonTraditional Students and the BSU Women's Center have organized a campus-wide safety awareness meeting. Students, faculty and staff may attend an open forum brainstorming session at Maggie's in the SUB at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 22. "We, need to educate, inform and hopefully correct some of the things we can correct" ASBSU Sen. Tim Helgerson said.

Let's take a breather from fee proposals Fee proposals at BSU more often than not mean fee increases for BSU students. Currently, fee proposals are approved at the university level after a series of h~a~ings involving ASBSU, students and administration and then they are presented every year to the State Board of Education to fund everything from ASBSU to BSU athletics. We propose that fee proposals be made every other year. Maybe ~hat would slow the increase of BSU fees, WhICh have nsen every year for the last several years.
