Provo council approves funds
to preserve historic buildings
B y J O R D A N L E E
The Provo Municipal Council has
approved $150,000 to be given to a fund
for the Historical Rehabilitation and
Preservation Grant program.
Joshua Yost, historic preservation
planner at Provo City, said there are
some conditions buildings must meet
before they can be classied as a his-
toric building ready for preservation.
They must be located within the
ofcial boundaries of Provo City, Yost
said. Each building must be ... at least
50 years old and retains its historic
integrity, in that there are no major
alterations or additions that have
obscured or destroyed the signicant
historic features.
The building also has to be registered
on the National Register of Historic Places.
There are many positives to restoring
a historic building.
There is special consideration in
the granting of zoning variances or
conditional use permits, eligibility
for nancial assistance from the city,
special considerations and waiving of
certain building code requirements for
property rehabilitation, assistance for
National Register nomination and sub-
sequent eligibility for state and federal
tax credits and other grants, Yost said.
Greg Soter, a real estate agent, has
had success ever since he designed
and constructed Parkside Apartments
15 years ago. Last year he wanted to
branch out, and when he saw an old LDS
chapel for sale, he jumped at the chance
to purchase it.
When I saw that the old Provo
Fourth Ward chapel was for sale, the
idea quickly clicked in my mind that
someone needed to make certain that
the exterior of that beautiful, stately old
building was preserved and that it could
be a very attractive place in which to
create some very unusual, even more
upscale, apartments that would be
very appealing to the upper portion of
the target audience we already serve at
Parkside, Soter said.
The chapel, located at 400 N. 100 West,
is to become 15 single-bedroom apart-
ments, Soter said, and although he
wont live there he is guring out how
to design some really killer interior
space while most efciently (using) the
existing layout of the building.
After purchasing the chapel, Soter
was met with huge necessary fees in
the preservation of the chapels his-
toric structure totaling $71,000. These
fees can now be covered because of the
recent resolution passed by the council.
The Provo Municipal Council
recently made it more feasible to restore
historic buildings by providing some
nancial assistance for the payment of
city impact fees, which were hindering
my ability to move forward with our
planned renovation. Soter said.
Richard Gregory, Managing Partner
at Provo Town Square LLC, also said
these new funds will have a positive
impact on the city. The city restruc-
tured the grant program to allow for
a smaller up-front match from owners
and allowed for the matching funds to
be spent on the interior of the build-
ings, Gregory said. That was a game-
changer for us at Provo Town Square.
It allowed us to spend money on the
interior to attract tenants and bet-
ter income, while still improving the
facades for the betterment of the entire
downtown.
Old buildings are like old people;
they should be valued and cherished.
They have wisdom and experience.
Buildings record the passage of time,
and they provide a physical link to our
cultural history. As such, I love to see
historic buildings restored and used
productively. But old buildings should
be a major priority in the redevelop-
ment of this downtown community
and a major consideration in future
planning.
Some may not see older build-
ings as signicant, but Gregory said
they are benecial edices in need of
acknowledgment.
We all benet from their history and
their beauty, Gregory said. We greatly
appreciate the help and support from
the city, the federal government and,
most of all, from the community.

Mitt Romney, circled on right, was president of the Cougar Club during his time at BYU. The Cougar Club carried on the tradi-
tion of building the image of BYU through promotion of athletic, cultural and academic programs.
B y K A T I E C L A R K
Before Bain Capital, the Olym-
pics and a bid to become president
of the United States, Mitt Romney
displayed exemplary business and
leadership skills as an undergradu-
ate at Brigham Young University.
The Cougar Club
Romney did not have a desire to
be in student government when he
rst started at BYU in 1969. After
seeing his fathers unsuccessful
presidential bid, and his mothers
unsuccessful U.S. Senate run, it
just wasnt something he wanted
to be involved in. However, after
receiving encouragement from
family, Romney got involved with
the Cougar Club, the university
booster club. Dane McBride, a for-
mer LDS missionary companion of
Romneys and member of the Cou-
gar Club in 1969, said that Romney
eventually ran for president of
the club, won, and made some big
changes.
When Romney took over the
reigns of the Cougar Club (a ser-
vice club with 30 to 50 members
at the time), it was raising $10,000
to $12,000 a year, McBride said.
Romney said the club should try
and raise $100,000.
When Romney suggested
this, many of the members were
perplexed.
You could see peoples faces
blanch a little bit, McBride said.
They said, You can only do so
many luaus a year and sell so many
mumus.
Romney had a different idea. He
wanted to approach the adminis-
tration at BYU to see if it was pos-
sible to get contact information for
everyone that had been at BYU. He
also wanted to set up phone banks,
call everyone who had matricu-
lated and ask for donations for the
club. With the changes that Rom-
ney spearheaded, the Cougar Club
reached its goal of raising $100,000
in one year.
McBride described this as being
one of the highlights of his time
in the Cougar Club. He remem-
bered Romney told the members
that this was something that when
they were old, 40 years old, they
would be able to remember that as
a team, they accomplished some-
thing great that would have a long-
lasting effect.
That was one of the neat things
about his leadership then and
now. There was always a feeling
that we were on a team with him,
McBride said. He was the leader of
the team, but he considered them
his teammates. I recently visited
behind the scenes with some of his
leadership team, and it was obvi-
ous that they are a team. Mitt is just
such a team builder. Thats how he
got things done in Massachusetts
and in the Olympics. Students that
werent even members of the Cou-
gar Club that made phone calls felt
the team spirit too. It has been a
part of his style for a long time.

The common stereotype of BYU marriage
statistics may not be as true as some think.
The REAL BYU marriage stats
At a privately owned LDS university where
students are encouraged to get married, some
BYU students feel pressure from marital
expectations.
Stereotypes exist stating searching for an
eternal companion is the real reason people
choose to attend BYU. It is a common assump-
tion that going to BYU ensures that not only will
you nd the perfect major for you you will
also nd that special someone. .

Provo hopes to eliminate train horns
Quiet zones
make their
way to Provo
B y J O R D A N L E E
The loud sound of train horns
in Provo could soon be stopped.
The City of Lehi is spearhead-
ing an application that will
make quiet zones that will reach
Provo.
Utah already has ve quiet
zones in place in Salt Lake,
Midvale, West Jordan, Pleasant
View and Woods Cross.
At every intersection trains
come to, they are required to
sound the horn as a warning to
other commuters that they are
approaching. While the sound
is irritating for motorists, resi-
dents in the surrounding neigh-
borhoods hear it most often.
Gerry Carpenter, Utah Transit
Authority spokesman said when
the trains come to Provo, the
horns will blare up to 80 times
a day.
While the noise is unpleasant,
Carpenter said it is for safety
purposes.
In order to qualify for a
quiet zone, a stretch of rail-
road track must have improve-
ments made to the railroad
crossings to bring the cross-
ings to an equivalent or better
level of safety than that which
existed prior to the applica-
tion for quiet zone status,
Carpenter said.
In other words, if you take
away the horns, you have to
replace them with other safety
measures that take their place.
As part of the FrontRunner proj-
ect, UTA upgraded all railroad
crossings from Salt Lake City to
Provo to include gates, bells and
ashing lights. Raised cement
medians were also installed in
roadways to prevent motorists
from going around the crossing
gates when they are in the down
position.
UTA has also been working
hard to add special measures to
these new Trax stations.
UTA also added supplemen-
tal pedestrian treatments to all
crossings to slow pedestrian/
bike traffic and encourage
pedestrians or cyclists to look
both ways prior to crossing the
track, Carpenter said. These
safety improvements have
enabled the cities along the line
to work together for quiet zone
status.
Provo resident Colby Goettel
has lived through the endless
hours of trains honking.
My family lived 100 meters
from the train crossing, Goet-
tel said. The trains were
required to honk their horns
before crossing even in the
middle of the night. This was
only a problem for the rst few
nights; after that, the body
adjusts.
Although he adjusted, Goet-
tel said, If proper precautions
are being taken, like barriers
or lights, then it is redundant
to require trains to honk
before proceeding through an
intersection.
Lisa Rowley drives around
Provo constantly and believes
the safety precautions used to
counter the non-use of the horns
cancel out the need to honk. If
there are rails and lights, then
they dont need to honk, Row-
ley said.
Rowley said she likes the
sound of a trains horn but
admits it gets annoying fast.
While residents and motorists
alike would like the quiet zones
to be put in place as quickly as
possible, the timing is at the
discretion of the Federal Rail-
road Administration, Carpen-
ter said.
Giving the boot to towing and booting
B y C O D Y E D D I N G T O N
The heated topic of predatory
booting and towing in Provo
was brought before the city
council Tuesday Oct. 16 after
Mayor John Curtis requested
a review of what he says has
been bugging me for years.
Two types of towing were
addressed during the meeting:
nonconsent police generated
tows, or impound tows, and
nonconsent non-police-gener-
ated tows.
The nonconsent non-police-
generated tows received the
majority of the attention from
the council.
The issue exploded into a
frenzy of hundreds of emails
and posts, and tens of thousands
of views on the mayors blog
when Mayor Curtis publicly
requested detailed stories
with a purpose to compile a
record of the unfair practices.
Ive heard enough to believe
that some booting and tow-
ing companies are predatory
in nature and take advantage
of students and visitors, he
wrote. To be clear, this does
not include legitimate compa-
nies that offer towing services.
Im talking about those bad guys
who lurk around waiting to
jump on a vehicle left 30 seconds
to run a plate of brownies to a
sick friend. Instead of nding a
$15 parking ticket, (the drivers)
nd their car across town with
a bill over $250.
An hour before the meeting,
the mayor compiled a packet full
of emails and comments on his
blog.
The single largest category,
the mayor said, I left my car for
only a few minutes category.
He gave multiple examples,
one being, I was taking my
friend home from the hospital
on crutches and I wanted to
help him up to his apartment.
I walked up to the apartment
and by the time I got back, my
car was being towed.
The mayor also commented
in regards to predator tow com-
panies taking advantage of all
the dating that goes on in Provo.
It seems like every young
man who goes out on a date,
and wants to walk his date to
the door, turns around and his
car is being towed, Curtis said.
Excuses included: I know I
shouldnt have parked there,
I was there for a nano second
and another with a 30 minute
visitor parking time window,
I was there for 27 minutes and
was towed.
The meeting closed on the
issue with a motion for the
council to gather together rec-
ommendations for the state
and put together legislation for
landowners, tow companies and
those who are towed.
This is such a big issue. All
of us would like to solve it.
Mayor Curtis said.
He continued to say that it is
a very complex issue and will
take multiple legislative ses-
sions and some volunteer work
for this problem to be solved.
Im glad so many people
are engaged in contacting me,
Mayor Curtis said. I hope that
they continue to contact me and
I hope they are patient with us.

ROMNEY
Presidential
candidate has
roots at BYU
Continued from Page 1
At a time in history when riots
were common at other universi-
ties, Romney wanted something
different to be said of BYU. He
felt this would happen by rally-
ing together students from across
campus to raise the money.
This is significant, espe-
cially for the period of time this
took place, McBride said. At
other universities, serious cam-
pus leaders did things like take
over the presidents ofce and
ransack it, or blow up the ROTC
building. This wasnt happening
at BYU.
Romney as a student
Romney didnt spend all
his time studying and raising
money. He was also married,
to high school sweetheart Ann
Davies, and enjoyed spending
time with friends. During the
summer, he and his friends
would often go to Utah Lake to
water ski.
He is an exceptionally good
water skier, McBride said. It
wasnt his boat, but he was able
to nd one for us to go out on. He
taught me how to water ski.
Romney frequented BYU
football and basketball games
as well as the weekly campus
devotionals. He always really
looked forward to hearing the
brethren of the Church speak,
McBride said.
Many college students spend
their summers selling door to
door. Romney was no differ-
ent. One summer he headed to
Michigan to sell cordless micro-
phones, along with McBride
and a few others. They went
with hopes of making enough
money to support themselves
through school. Things turned
out differently.
We fell short of our goals,
though it wasnt because
we werent doing the right
things, McBride said. The
product wasnt very well made,
so we werent able to sell it
very well.
The men ended up making a
few thousand dollars between
them, a much smaller amount
than what they anticipated.
Luckily, being in Michigan,
they were able to visit Rom-
neys mother-in-laws house.
She made sure they were well
fed.
Living on love
Despite being the son of a
wealthy governor, Mitt and Ann
lived as most newlyweds in col-
lege did back then, McBride said.
I never saw any ostentation
or big spending by Ann and
Mitt, McBride said. His father
told him, When you get married,
you need to support your family.
He lived very modestly.
McBride said that he lived
in the same complex as the
Romneys and moved into their
apartment after they left BYU.
For about $75 a month, the
apartment had two rooms,
a tiny kitchen and a small
bathroom.
They were i n a
semi-subterranean apartment
because it was $10 less a month
than the above-ground apart-
ments, McBride said. It is
probably what most married
students would not choose to
live in today. It had brown lino-
leum oors. A lot of the tiles
were cracked. The kitchen had
barely enough room for a small
table to eat breakfast at.
McBride reflected on how
he and his wife often would
have dinner with the Romneys.
Instead of going out to eat, they
would combine what they had
in their pantries for a meal. If
one of the couples had spaghetti
noodles and tomatoes, and the
others had hamburger and let-
tuce, they would eat a spaghetti
dinner that night.
Even though Romney was
busy being a husband, presi-
dent of the Cougar Club and
a student, he still spent time
serving others. As a counselor
in his congregations bish-
opric, Romney was in charge
of helping with the spiritual
and temporal affairs of the
members of that ward. For any-
one, this would be a difficult
task, but McBride said that
Romney did a great job, even
after the arrival of his first-
born son, Taggart, a year after
he and Ann were married. Tag-
gart slept in a crib at the foot
of their bed because the apart-
ment wasnt big enough for
anything else.
Being young, married, and
in college with a child is not an
easy task. Romney didnt com-
plain. In an interview with the
Washington Post, Clayton F.
Foulger, Romneys friend, said
that Romney promoted married
life.
I remember Mitt explaining
to me the benets of married
life, Foulger said. He didnt
have to explain a lot. It was sort
of self-evident, but he was appre-
ciative of it.
How others view Romney
Fellow Cougar Club member
Tristan Pico recalls the rst
time he saw Romney.
He had dark hair, of course.
We all had hair back then. He
still does; I do not. Mitt and Ann
were together. I just remember
being, one, impressed by how
striking they were as a couple,
and then, two, by how nice they
were. They were very cordial
when I rst met them.
Even after many years had
passed, Pico was surprised that
Romney recognized him at an
event held in Beverly Hills and
stated that Romney was the
same person he had known in
college.
There were probably 100 peo-
ple, and Mitt gave a speech in the
back park at night, Pico said.
He stood on the patio and spoke
to this relatively small group of
people. And afterwards, I went
up and said to hello to him. I said,
Mitt, hi, Im Tristan. And he
goes Oh, I remember, from Cou-
gar Club! I mean, he was just so
quick, it was amazing. And then
I saw Ann, and I went over and
talked to her, and my wife and I
spent some time with her. It was a
little bit like just stepping into the
past because he was the same per-
son, and he and Ann both acted in
the same way.
Pico said that the way Romney
is often portrayed doesnt show
an accurate picture of who he
really is.
It seems to be that he is being
made out to be citizen plastic,
and I think that sounds like
a decision somebody made to
characterize him as that, Pico
said. Whenever Ive heard him
speak, he has been sincere and
direct but also cordial and acces-
sible. So I think that character-
ization of him being anything
but that is done more for politi-
cal reasons than it is to describe
him in reality.
Romneys personality and
leadership skills convinced
many of those who knew him
from the time he was at BYU to
say that he could be president
of the United States one day,
although he may not have admit-
ted it himself.
I felt way back then that if
he did not become president
of the United States, this coun-
try would be cheated, McBride
said. I told others this but never
him because I knew he would
not like such conversation. He
had seen both his father and his
mother trashed in political cam-
paigns and was not interested in
pursuing (politics).
David Whetten, vice president
of the Cougar Club when Romney
was club president, described to
The Universe how he and others
saw Romney.
Mitt seemed destined for
greatness, said Whetten. I
dont think anyone who knew
Mitt back then is surprised by
any of his achievements after he
was at BYU.
McBride said that Romney
has always been a hound for
data and information, that he
works with others to learn about
other viewpoints and that he has
always been that way.
He studies things out
extremely well, McBride said.
He absorbs it well. He develops
ideas and teamwork and coun-
sels. He has a high degree of
respect for people. He respects
ideas. He wants to hear every

Political ad fatigue: Utah is walking a 5K as other states do an iron man
B y K A T E H O L L I S
Utahns are weary of ineffec-
tive and slanderous political ads
dominating this election season,
and Utah isnt even a swing state.
A big part of the annoyance
towards political ads is their
inescapable presence. Cable is
not the only outlet anymore.
Social networks, banner ads,
search engines and radio are all
mudslinging mediums now, and
politicians spending reects
this shift.
A March 2012 article pub-
lished by Advertising Age
stated that online spending is
also expected to get a huge bump
and is projected to reach $159.2
million, a sixfold increase from
2008.
State of residence greatly
determines the level of bombard-
ment from these ads, and living
in Utah shields people from the
level of influence that other
states are getting.
The Washington Post pub-
lished a graphic article updated
Oct. 17 displaying the amount of
money each candidate had spent
on television ads and what state
that money was spent in.
Overall, President Barack
Obamas campaign has spent
$300 million, 81 percent of which
was spent on negative ads. Gov-
ernor Romneys campaign has
spent $366 million with 88 per-
cent of that spent on negative
ads.
In a monetary state-by-state
breakdown, the places hit the
hardest were Florida ($136 mil-
lion), Virginia ($113 million),
Ohio ($109 million), North Car-
olina ($85 million) and Pennsyl-
vania ($75 million).
The amount of money spent
in the state does not accurately
portray the amount of ads that
were aired. Certain states are
more expensive to advertise in
than others, which explains why
Las Vegas, at 47,219 ads, didnt
even make the top ve, $53 mil-
lion was spent on only 28,402
ads in Washington, D.C. and $39
million got the candidates over
55,000 ads in North Carolina.
Utah is the only state that did
not have even a portion repre-
sented on the map, meaning that
there were so few ads aired there
was no reason to list it. Califor-
nia came in as a close second
with only a tiny section of the
city of El Centro listed.
Richard Davis, a professor of
political science at BYU, com-
pleted his dissertation titled
News Media Coverage of Ameri-
can National Political Institu-
tions. the commented on the
special situation Utah finds
itself in during presidential
elections.
We have few competitive
races in Utah, Davis said.
Unfortunately, that means vot-
ers have relatively few options,
and candidates do not spend
money trying to reach out to
voters. The losers are the vot-
ers. They are unable to choose
between two viable candidates
and actually have candidates
seek to understand their views
on issues and communicate
their positions on those issues.
Additionally, the heavily one-
party state means the presiden-
tial race outcome is a foregone
conclusion here. That means
the two major party candidates
ignore Utah voters.
McDermott has a different
take on the issue. I feel like
they ignore the undecided vot-
ers. They arent doing as much to
get their vote, but as an Obama
supporter I dont feel ignored; I
feel like my vote is appreciated,
and they want me to go out and
gather more support.
Karen Kleinman, a senior
studying communication stud-
ies, believes that a lot of the ad
fatigue experienced in Utah is
due to social media.
After any comment made or
debate held, there is no escaping
it, day after day, Kleinman said.
Everyone wants to share their
interpretation, anger or excite-
ment about what was said. Its
free campaigning for the can-
didates I guess. But as someone
who has made up their mind, I
get tired of seeing it all the time.
No one is going to convince me
of anything through a Facebook
post.

professor and director of the

J. Reuben Clark Law School.

Your speciality is in legal
communication. Did you
always want to teach law?
No, I didnt. I was a journalism
major and an English minor. My
aspirations were to work on the
Washington Press Corps. Ive
always been a political junkie,
and I love that kind of thing. So I
got drawn to law school.
In law school, I was a legal writ-
ing TA, and I was on the court
team, and did the new court train-
ing for the rst-year students and
realized I really liked that but
didnt know there was an oppor-
tunity to actually focus on that.
I kind of just fell in to it, so I was
able to take my love of writing and
things from journalism and from
English and meld them with my
love and passion for the law.
2
How did you balance
teaching law and
religion classes?
I actually started teaching
religion back when I was in law
school as a third-year law student
and then have taught pretty much
ever since. The way I explain the
religion thing is, its my dessert.
The law school stuff is my main
job. Its what I do as my job. I love
it; its fantastic. You know, you
really love your meal, but whats
the thing that makes it extra spe-
cial? Well, its that extra piece of
cheesecake or that really yummy
brownie, and thats what teach-
ing religion was for me. It was an
opportunity to get out of my nor-
mal academic zone, interact with
undergraduate students to be able
to talk about the gospel.
3
How did your expertise
in law and religion
contribute to each other?
Here at the BYU law school, as
it is everywhere at BYU, we want
to teach an academic subject in the
light of Gods revealed word. One
of the things that was said at the
founding of this law school was
that we should teach the laws of
man in the light of the laws of God.
So being aware of what proph-
ets have taught currently about
issues, even if its something like
not taking offense. Being able
to take those things and the teach-
ings from the prophets and to help
the students understand that their
practice of law needs to be consis-
tent with what they know about
the way they should be living and
interacting with one another.

Youre a member of the
Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
How do you balance that?
Youve seen object lessons
they always do in seminary with
the rocks and the sand. You just
have to make it all t and priori-
tize. Sometimes choir gets really,
really busy. Fortunately, with the
way the law schools academic
schedule is set up, we dont have
classes in the summer. So when
we go on tour for a week and a
half, Im not missing classes
because were not in class. But
there are weeks that were doing
recording every night until 10:30
and it makes for a long day. But
just like anything else you want
to do, you make it work. And its a
calling, so the Lord blesses us in
nding ways to make it work out.
5
What is one piece of
advice you would like to
leave for your students?
It would be to nd your bal-
ance. Our students are so focused
on their career and what theyre
going to do and how much money
theyre going to make. Think
about what President Uchtdorf
said this past conference about
the regrets people have: theyre
never about their work. You need
to nd the balance that works
for you and put priorities on
the most important things. You
need to keep doing the things
that make you happy and not put
off being happy until you reach
some sort of milestone, whether
its graduation or your rst job
or whatever it is. Be happy now.

The graveyard shift revealed
B y N A T A L I E S I V E R T S E N
Its 3:30 a.m. when Chris Loo-
mis alarm wakes him up for the
day. He habitually hits the off
button, jumps out of bed and
maneuvers his way to the closet
in the dark. Without waking his
roommate, he puts on his paint-
stained jeans and gray sweatshirt.
Next, he grabs an apple from
the fridge and ips the television
on to his favorite early-morning
show, A Haunting, to help wake
him up. After a couple of minutes,
he puts on his shoes and is out
the door by 3:50 a.m. to make it to
work on time.
Chris Loomis, a teaching physi-
cal science major from Blackfoot,
Idaho, used to work from 4 to 7:30
a.m., ve days a week. His specic
duty was to clean the fourth and
fth oors of the Kimball Tower.
Despite the rough hours,
Loomis was one of many students
who work late-night or early-
morning shifts.
The thought of working during
these times is enough to make
even the most nocturnal of stu-
dents cringe, but the job does have
its benets.
I worked 4 to 7:30 a.m., and
nothing ever conicts with that,
Loomis said. You never have to
worry about (work) getting in the
way of classes or getting in the
way of meetings or any other type
of calling that you might have.
Russell Youngberg, a junior
from Ketchikan, Alaska, has
cleaned the Wilkinson Student
Center Sunday through Thursday
nights from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. since
January.
Most of the time its not that
bad, Youngberg said. Everybody
just clears out of the building, and
you just do your own thing and
thats nice.
Youngberg explained that there
are three crews he can be assigned
to each night: carpets, oors or
sets, which prepares for events
like the Career Fair.
The students also explained the
drawbacks of working late at night
or early in the morning.
Regardless of going to bed at
eight or nine each night and being
a self-proclaimed morning per-
son, Loomis still had a difcult
time.
Everybody told me I looked
like a zombie, Loomis said.
Trent Larson, from Kan-
sas City, Mo., studying history,
worked the same early-morning
custodial shift as Loomis and
felt sleep withdrawals even while
working.
I was extremely tired one day,
and I was like, I need a nap, or Im
not going to be able to nish my
work, and it was just horrible,
Larson said. So I set my alarm
for 10 minutes and then I (laid) on
the oor, and it went off and I went
back to work.
Sleep is not the only thing being
compromised. Keeping up with
schoolwork also proves to be a
struggle.
During the day as I was taking
classes I would fall asleep during
every single one, Loomis said.
There was not a class I did not
stay awake for the entire time,
and Im not normally the type of
person that would fall asleep dur-
ing classes.
Working around an irregular
schedule also means sacrices to
the students social lives.
My roommates would do a
lot of random things together at
night that (brought) them close,
and I was never able to participate
because I was always in bed, Lar-
son said.
Managing school, sleep and a
social life is difcult for students
who work the graveyard shift, but
it is a sacrice some are willing
to make.
London living: A semester across the pond
The Kennedy
Center allows
students to escape
the Provo bubble
B y K E L S E Y B R I G G S
London may solely represent
the location of this years Olym-
pic games for many, but for some
BYU students, London was a
home away from home this past
year.
Kennedy Rushing, a sopho-
more studying nursing from Van-
couver, Wash., was one of these
students. For her, the choice to
go to London was an easy one,
as it encompassed everything
she wanted in an international
experience.
London was a great match
because they speak English,
she said. (There was) no lan-
guage barrier and still it had
everything I wanted in a pro-
gram with history, culture and
sightseeing.
London is just one of many
available destinations for stu-
dents wanting to do one of BYUs
study abroad programs. The
David M. Kennedy Center for
International Studies strives to
provide students with a qual-
ity international academic
experience where students are
immersed in another culture
and are able to get outside of the
classroom to learn.
In the spring 2012 London
study abroad program, students
were enrolled in a British liter-
ature and history class. These
classes fulfilled general edu-
cation requirements for many
students, but for some these
classes meant much more. Mad-
eleine Kmetzsch, a junior from
Salt Lake City, has a passion for
art that only grew with seeing
famous works in person.
I loved in London that my
art history books came to life,
Kmetzsch said. I was living and
experiencing for myself what I
had studied. I thought the pic-
tures in my book were beautiful,
but nothing could have prepared
me for the astounding wonder
the originals possess.
The National Gallery and the
Tate Modern are just two of many
museums in London. Along with
the history and art, students also
enjoyed local cuisine and theater
productions. London is home to
the recently opened Harry Potter
set tour, where people can walk
the sets where the lms were
created.
I think its safe to say it was a
life-changing experience, Rush-
ing said.
Students in the London study
abroad program were able to
earn college credit while expe-
riencing the many different
aspects of London with an aver-
age of 40 other BYU students liv-
ing under the same roof. BYU
has its own London Centre in the
west end of the city just across
the street from Hyde Park.
Spencer Witt, a junior from
Salt Lake City studying inter-
national relations, enjoyed his
time in London and said it was an
experience he could never forget.
I would recommend a study
abroad to everyone, Witt said.
Not only is it an enriching edu-
cational experience to learn in a
different country, but you see so
many awesome things and meet
so many amazing people. It was
the best. I wish I could go back
and do it again.

Halloween cruise offers non-scare fun
B y M E G A N N O A C K
A boat oats along a quiet,
dark path. All that can be seen
are lights strung in the trees
and above the river. Bare tree
trunks and branches are sil-
houetted against the azure
night. Jack-o-lanterns line
both banks. The air is cool. Its
an October night time for Hal-
loween fun.
But gore, chainsaws and
masked villains wont be found
at this event.
Family-founded CLAS Ropes
Course has been running a
Halloween cruise on the Provo
River for the past 13 years,
attracting nearly 8,000 visitors
of all ages each October.
This is the second year Katie
Tuivai, a mother of three, has
attended the cruise.
The kids really liked it, she
said. Its not too scary, and its
inexpensive.
Mari Groberg, a BYU student
from Spanish Fork, has worked
for CLAS Ropes Course since
May of last year. In addition
to operating the ticket ofce,
she also carves some of the 100
pumpkins that line the river.
With a life of roughly ve days,
new pumpkins frequently need
to be carved. When employees
get tired of doing the job toward
the end of the month, other com-
munity members, like the Boy
Scouts, hop in and help.
Some of the pumpkins are
purposefully carved upside
down so the reection on the
waters surface shows the design
right-side up. Other intricate
designs include Frankenstein, a
witchs face prole and Medusa.
Like Katie Tuivai, Groberg
feels the lack of blood and fright
is what sets this Halloween
activity apart from others.
It is so different. They (other
activities) are based on being
scary and making you really
uncomfortable, she said. If
you go on it (Halloween cruise)
wanting to be scared, youll be
disappointed. But it is so fun to
bring kids on it.
Jason Bosen holds a unique
position at the event. Wearing
a black cape and thick gloves,
he pulls the river boat with his
hands, something hes been
doing for two years. Bosen enter-
tains guests with the story of
Sleepy Hollow as they glide
up and down the river.
A pirate greets riders half-
way through the ride. After his
humorous attempts to board the
boat via rope swing, the pirate
rides up alongside the boat on
a canoe. He tells pirate jokes.
He hands out candy. He makes
children laugh. Bosen said this
is his favorite part of the ride.
Some kids scream and cry
until they realize its a friendly
pirate, but its always really
fun, he said. Especially the
little boys who are into pirates,
they love it.
As the night concludes, par-
ents and children step off the
boat with smiles. They are not
anticipating nightmares about
zombies or clowns or mysterious
hooded persons. Instead, they
are enjoying candy and all the
decorations.
The cruise runs Monday
through Thursday nights from
6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. and until 10
p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
It will be open through Hal-
loween night. The price is $8 a
person.
Senate candidates discuss issues in a televised debate
B y H A L E Y B I S S E G G E R
Sen. Orrin Hatch and his oppo-
nent, former state Sen. Scott How-
ell, discussed political gridlock in
Washington and the economy dur-
ing Wednesday nights televised
senatorial debate.
The debate was moderated by
David Magleby, BYU professor
of political science and founder
of the BYU Center for the Study
of Elections and Democracy,
and was lmed at the KBYU stu-
dio. Debate questions came from
the audience.
Hatch suggested his seniority
will help Utah lead in Washing-
ton, and Howell addressed why
seniority is the cause of political
gridlock.
If we want a different Amer-
ica, we have to start electing
differently, Howell said. The
seniority system is whats break-
ing America today.
This notion of seniority was
mentioned repeatedly by Howell
throughout the debate. In a press
conference following the debate,
Howell even went as far as to set
a term limit for himself should he
be elected.
I would serve two terms. I
would get in, serve, and get out,
he said.
Howell repeatedly called Hatch
out on his political rhetoric.
When we divide our country
like youre trying to continue to
do, Orrin, it is disruptive; its
obstructionism, and it doesnt
help the American spirit, How-
ell said.
Hatch told Howell things would
be different in Washington.
If you were to go back there
youd be right in the middle of
a bunch of liberals who are not
going to let you do anything but be
liberal on their side, Hatch said.
Health care
Health care and the Afford-
able Care Act were popular top-
ics among the audience questions.
Hatch denounced the act, say-
ing, The Affordable Care Act is
anything but affordable. He con-
tinued by saying Utah was doing
better without government inter-
vention and responsibility should
remain with individual states.
Hatch and Howell agreed
that the lack of bipartisanship in
the passage of the act is unaccept-
able, but Howell did not oppose the
entire act.
I dont want to go back and kill
it. What I want to do is go back and
amend it and make it better and
work with Republicans in order to
nd that common ground, How-
ell said.
Economy and national debt
Hatch echoed Republican
presidential candidate Mitt Rom-
ney when asked about the issue
of poverty. Hatch said the most
important way to end poverty is
to have a good economy. He also
said, That we get people back to
work. That we get jobs.
Howell said, The biggest issue
were facing in this country is the
debt and decit. We have to solve
this. Weve got to go back and
make some challenging cuts.
The Democratic challenger
cited his business experience at
IBM and proposed steps modeled
after business.
We have to go through and do
a performance review on each
and every department within the
federal government to make sure
were getting effective and ef-
cient government, Howell said.
Hatch again cited his seniority
and leadership position in the Sen-
ate as the solution to the decit.
Im the ranking Republican on
the Senate Finance Committee.
The fact of the matter is that if
were going to solve this problem,
its going to be that committee that
does it, Hatch said.
Following Howells proposal
to return to tax rates prior to the
Bush tax cuts, Hatch shared what
he has observed over his 36 years
in the Senate.
When Republicans have gone
along with Democrats to increase
taxes in favor of getting some
decit reduction, the taxes always
go up. The decit reductions never
occur, Hatch said.
Foreign affairs
In response to a question about
their beliefs on foreign policy,
Hatch and Howell largely aligned
with their respective parties.
Howell referred to the Mid-
dle East as a powder-keg; it
must be approached cautiously,
but declared, I want us out of
Afghanistan tomorrow.
He shared his sympathy and
allegiance to Israel and desire to
prevent Iranian nuclear weap-
ons, but disapproved of the recent
wars in the Middle East, saying,
Weve had two unfunded wars
that (have) led this country to a
nancial catastrophe, which my
opponent voted for both times.
Hatch showed his support for
the wars in Afghanistan and
Iraq and condemned President
Obamas unwillingness to listen
to military leaders.
We cant just walk away from
all of this. One of our obligations
is to ght and let people know that
were not going to be people to step
on.
In the press conference follow-
ing the debate, Hatch continued
to speak of his experience and
leadership in Washington and
attempted to refute Howell accus-
ing him of unwilling being to
reach across the aisle.
Ive had a lot of Democrats
come up to me when they thought I
was going to go the same way that
Sen. Bennett did and that Id prob-
ably be defeated out here. They
said, Youve got to win. Youre one
of the few guys that can bring us
together, Hatch said.
Howell described Hatch as liv-
ing in the past. They (Hatch and
Kennedy) were two great men
working together, but you dont
see that nowadays, Howell said.
We have to have a transforma-
tion of leadership and bring in
new thoughts and people who
have new ideas, bold ideas with
regards to what we need to see in
this country.

Air Force colonel: From wrestler to pilot
Col. Brent A.
Johnson retires
from nearly 29
years of service
in the Air Force
B y T A N N E R P E A R S O N
Col. Brent A. Johnson spent
his life being the best at what-
ever he did. Growing up in Bur-
ley, Idaho, Johnson trained to
be the best wrestler at his high
school. His successful career
launched him into the world of
intercollegiate wrestling, where
he represented the Air Force
Academy in Colorado for four
years as a top athlete.
In February of 1984, his nal
match brought him to the mats of
BYUs Smith Fieldhouse. There
to cheer him on were his biggest
fans: his coach, his father and
mother. Johnson never expected
to nd himself back on that same
oor nearly 30 years later with
his same loyal fans. The only dif-
ference this time was the gold
retired Air Force medallion
dangling from his uniform.
After 29 years of service in
the U.S. Air Force, Johnsons
retirement ceremony in the SFH
auditorium represented the next
transition in his life, much like
his nal wrestling match tran-
sitioned him into the Air Force.
This location is very spe-
cial to me, Johnson said. At
that time I transitioned my total
focus in my life from being the
best wrestler I could ever be, to
being the best ofcer, leader and
ghter pilot that I could ever be.
Johnson served for three
years as BYUs Detachment 855
commander, which is said was
his greatest accomplishment.
This assignment was phe-
nomenal when it comes to shap-
ing people, dealing with people
and being able to set a lasting
legacy, he said.
The most rewarding part of
his job at BYU was when John-
son went to eld training in
Alabama and Mississippi this
summer. He was in charge of tak-
ing nearly 400 cadets through a
four-week training experience.
BYUs average of selected
cadets to attend eld training is
usually higher than the national
average. This year BYU clocked
in at 100 percent, which has
never been done before.
It was amazing. I never
thought it would happen, John-
son said.
Johnsons wife, Tami, who
has lived in 24 different homes
between her father, who was in
the Army, and her husband, said
he found his success by focusing
on strengthening relationships
with other people.
He didnt waste time on
things that didnt serve a pur-
pose, that either werent fam-
ily-involved or didnt serve a
purpose in his training, Tami
said. It didnt have to be hours
and hours, it can be 30 minutes
where (he) gave somebody (his)
undivided attention and really
focused and had conversations.
Helping people be the best
they could be characterized
Johnsons goals at work and
home. I believe that people are
the source of all goodness in this
life and to getting things done,
Johnson said to his cadets dur-
ing his closing remarks at his
retirement ceremony. Take
care of them, believe in them,
recognize them, reward them.
Despite his busy work sched-
ule, Johnson placed his family
above all else. Ive learned,
after serving in all the fantastic
locations, that in the end, none
of that really matters except for
your family, he said. Always
remember your family.
Johnsons youngest daughter,
Camden, a 15-year-old sopho-
more at Springville High School,
said one of her favorite memo-
ries was going salmon and hali-
but shing with her dad while
living in Alaska.
Going shing with him was
a ton of fun, Camden said. He
taught me how to sh, although
we didnt always catch some-
thing when we went. My dad is
awesome.
Kjersten, a BYU student apply-
ing to the advertising program,
said she remembers one night
after a swim meet, she found her-
self with no choice but to go on a
spontaneous family hiking trip.
Shower-less, she went, and now
considers it one of her favorite
memories.
I was not happy about it at all,
and they made me go the whole
weekend, Kjersten said. But
now it is one of the best hiking
memories because he made me
do it, but also made it so that it
was a fun time.
Johnsons oldest child,
Chazman, 23 and a senior air-
man at Hurlburt Air Force
Base in Florida, said he wanted
the same things his family had
growing up for his own future
family a good quality of liv-
ing and a stable job.
Eventually I decided that
that was what I wanted for my
life, Chazman said. I wanted
the opportunity to help serve
others and protect our nations
freedoms. I know that is some-
thing my dad always wanted.
Johnson would often say fast
is slow, slow is smooth to teach
self-control to his children.
Chazman said that advice helps
him be the best combat control-
ler he can be.
Throughout his career, John-
son excelled and was often
ranked at the top of his class
in academics, training, lead-
ership roles and combat mis-
sions. During pilot training. he
was assigned to y the F-15, the
worlds most powerful ghter jet.
This jet only given to the highest
ranked in the class.
Johnson had the chance to
pilot the F-15 over Iraq and Bos-
nia for many years. In total, he
spent over 275 hours in combat
air.
As a retired Air Force service-
man, Johnson is focusing his
efforts on training as a copilot
for SkyWest airlines. The same
mentality that propelled him
from the wrestling mat to the
air, will make him the best com-
mercial pilot he can be.

CAMPUS-WIDE PROJECT FOR
My roommate Tara and I often nd our-
selves disagreeing about something for several
minutes until we realize were arguing the ex-
act same point. While these are never serious
arguments, but rather trivial misunderstand-
ings through texts or about movie plots, they
have shed light on the huge communication
problem we have with friends, family, room-
mates, co-workers and signicant others. We
can blame Facebook chat and texting, where
sarcasm, joking and sincerity dont translate
and autocorrect ruins everything, but I believe
our communication issues run much deeper.
Recently the failure to effectively communi-
cate caused several problems and colossal mis-
understandings in my life with certain indi-
viduals, especially with a dear friend. I believe
if we had effectively communicated
about my own failed relationship
and the feelings of betrayal, heart-
break, anger and loss of self-worth
I had, and why I really felt uneasy
about the new relationship she was
in at the time we probably could
have worked through our conict
better than we have and our friend-
ship could be in better shape than it
currently is.
Irish playwright George Bernard
Shaw once said, The single big-
gest problem in communication is
the illusion that it has taken place.
Often we think our point has been clearly un-
derstood. I now think this is rarely the case.
Our passive aggressive or snide comments are
not effective communication. Getting out our
frustration and thinking we have nothing to
apologize for is not effective communication.
Purely telling someone what they have done to
us is not effective communication.
They have a point of view too. We end up
talking at each other, each believing we are
right and the other is wrong black and white
lines of blame to place on the other. We need
to understand we all perceive the world dif-
ferently, and we have to communicate in ways
others can understand what we are feeling and
why we are feeling it.
We need to be honest in our communication,
and we need to start with ourselves. We love
to lie to ourselves and deny our feelings. If we
cannot admit to ourselves we are angry, frus-
trated, sad, lost or any range of human emo-
tion, how do we expect others to understand
us? We have to be honest with ourselves to be
honest with those around us.
We simply need to close our mouths and
listen. I dont mean hear their words antici-
pating how to respond and counter, or how to
one up them. I mean actively listen to what
they are conveying to you. Let them speak. You
dont have to respond immediately. Take a mo-
ment, digest their words and truly understand;
let the silence hang between you. One of the
greatest things we have to offer is our atten-
tion. Sometimes silence can convey the under-
standing and empathy we cannot nd words
for. We need to better learn the art of listening,
and not just hearing.
We need to empathize. This month a close
friend of mine told me she and her husband are
expecting their rst baby, and there are few
times Ive been more elated for someone else
in my life. Not only was that moment in our
friendship more memorable, it made her hap-
pier how excited I was. As I walked
home (with a huge smile on my face
I couldnt get rid of for hours) I re-
alized the pure joy I had by being
happy for her. Communication is
also sharing others emotions. Cry-
ing when they cry; laughing when
they laugh.
There is one last component of
communication I think is over-
looked: forgiveness. Humbling our-
selves by asking for it, swallowing
our pride by giving it and freeing
ourselves by accepting it. Often
times Im sorry isnt sincere, we
say it just to smooth things over, or it isnt
enough. Nothing says Im sorry more than
than saying, I was wrong. Please forgive me.
Admitting I was wrong shows the sincerity of
my apology. Pride however, often keeps us from
forgiving others. We cant let go of the hurt or
resentment we have, and its detrimental to
our relationships. Sometimes pride makes us
forget we love that person and the positive in-
uence theyve had in our life. And at the end
of the day, we have to forgive ourselves for our
mistakes, stop punishing ourselves and accept
the love and forgiveness others are trying to
give us.
How we communicate with ourselves and
those around us can determine the quality of
the life we lead.
Walking down the frozen Ukrainian
streets, listening to my two companions talk
in rapid Russian that I couldnt understand
a word of, I felt frustrated and overwhelmed.
Inside our apartment that night while plan-
ning our day, one of my companions noticed
my negative body language and asked me
what was wrong, to which I curtly responded
Im fine and then didnt expound on what
was really bothering me.
There are many moments in our lives when
we let the feelings surrounding the situation
affect our ability to see the real issues caus-
ing the emotion.
In a presidential election, we are bom-
barded with so much negative feedback about
each candidate that we have a hard time ac-
tually looking through the sea
of negativity into the issues that
the candidates stand for.
It can be hard to get down to
the real facts of what candi-
dates stand for with all of the
rumors, opinions and exaggera-
tions.
The recent vice presidential
debate between Joe Biden and
Paul Ryan was a prime example
of this. While watching the de-
bate and attempting to listen to
the issues the candidates were
talking about, I was constantly
distracted by Bidens sarcastic comments
and negative body language. It seemed that
Biden was either consistently interrupting
Ryan, laughing while he was speaking or sar-
castically calling his opponent my friend.
Personally, I was so disgusted with the
lack of professionalism and respect in the
debate shown by Biden that I had a hard time
focusing on the points that he was trying to
make. I was too distracted by the negativity
in the debate to analyze and make a decision
between the two candidates based on the is-
sues they were presenting.
In every political race since the foundation
of this country, there have been two candi-
dates fighting against each other, attempting
to show themselves in the best light while
putting down their opponent.
Despite this fact, with the rise of social me-
dia and the Internet there are more avenues
in todays world for candidates to attack each
other. It can seem that we are so completely
surrounded by one party attacking the other
that we are left in utter confusion about who
holds the truth.
So how do we get past the negative adver-
tising coming from each side of the debate
and make our own decisions?
I believe it is all about awareness.
While thinking about this subject, I
thought about experiences in my life with
people, such as the example above from my
mission, and what it has taken in order to
move past the negative feelings and start
talking about where the problem was stem-
ming from, or in other words the issues
behind the argument.
The first step in trying to get past the nega-
tivity is often an awareness that the problem
exists. Often when I realize that there is a
problem and I kindly approach the friend
about what I have noticed, it is only then that
we are able to figure out the real issue caus-
ing the problem.
In the example above from my mis-
sion, although my companion had re-
alized I was struggling, I was unwill-
ing to talk about the problem. In order
to overcome this problem she gently
proceeded to explain to me that she
had noticed certain negative feelings
that I was expressing through my ac-
tions and so she knew that I was not
fine and asked if I would like to
talk about what was really bothering
me. After she said this I finally broke
down and told her how I was really
feeling. We were then able to under-
stand and resolve the real issue.
The same concept exists in politics when it
comes to choosing who to vote for.
Are we looking past the attacking political
ads against Romney created by the Obama
administration, in order to really under-
stand what Mitt Romneys plan is for the
economy?
Or have we done the same for Obama and
looked past the Romney campaigns attack-
ing political ads to understand what Obama
stands for when it comes to foreign policy?
Its important to understand both sides of
the argument in this race, because the next
four years of our countrys future relies on
how we vote, but the first step is awareness.

& RECREATI ON
BYU basketball
ready for new season
Mens basketball team looks to
improve last seasons record with the
return of some familiar faces
B y S H E Y G R O S S E N
The BYU mens basketball team has
been back on the hardwood for the
past few days, highly anticipating the
upcoming season.
Just four days into practice, BYU
Head Coach Dave Rose has been pleased
with the teams progress.
The competitive part of our prac-
tices are probably as good as theyve
ever been, Rose said.
Since Rose took over in 2005,
BYU basketball has risen to a
higher competitive level.
The Cougars are
coming off an NCAA
tournament run and
a 296 overall record
from last season and
look to continue to
move forward. In
moving forward, the
team has to replace
two starters from
last season, last
years seniors Noah
Hartsock and Charles
Abouo.
But familiar faces
from last years team
are ready to step it up in Hartsock
and Abouos absence. Seniors leading
the team this year include Brandon
Davies, Brock Zylstra, Craig Cusick and
Stephen Rogers.
All of us feel we have the urgency to
step up and do better than we did last
year, Zylstra said.
Matt Carlino, Anson Winder, Josh
Sharp and Nate Austin made names
for themselves as freshmen last year,
and their return helps maintain the
depth the Cougars had last year on the
team. Also returning is the much antici-
pated Tyler Haws, who is back from his
LDS mission in the Philippines and
cannot wait to play. Haws exploded
his freshman year, quickly becoming
a fan favorite with his accuracy at the
free throw line.
Im ready, Haws said. Wherever
Coach needs me, Im ready to contribute
and help out in anyway I can.
Along with a solid group of fresh-
man, the Cougars have brought in two
new junior college transfers. Agustin
Ambrosino, a 68 forward from Salt
Lake Community College and Raul
Delgado, a 62 guard from Western
Nebraska Community College.
Besides being a little sore after the
rst few days, the newcomers also have
to wrap their heads around the system.
Rose said they are trying to focus on
what these new players are doing well.
The most important thing for us
right now is to emphasize the positive
plays they make in practice, Rose said.
Senior Brandon Davies said it has
been encouraging to see not only the
new players coming in willing to be
coached, but also the
team as a whole.
Everyone is will-
ing to learn and trying
to get better each day,
Davies said.
Point guard Matt
Carlino, seeking to
be the motor behind
BYUs fast pace tempo,
also likes where the
team is at.
We look farther
ahead now than we did
this time last year,
Carlino said.
A new NCAA rule has been a big part
of this progression. Over the summer,
BYU coaches were allowed to spend two
hours per week with a player.
The change in the age of missionary
service made by The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints presents a
new situation to the basketball team,
along with all other BYU sports. This
policy will affect next season and the
team has to prepare now for changes in
recruitment and LDS missions.
It has a lot of effect on our 2013 class,
our 2014 class, our 2015 class that we are
involved in, Rose said. What it basi-
cally does is that it gives every LDS
player that has a desire to serve a mis-
sion another option. My role here as
head coach is to support their decision.
Another element that has affected the
Cougars already this year is injuries.

Cougars work to seize
conference championship
B y N I C O L E H I L L S T E A D
The BYU womens basketball team is
ready to start the 201213 season with
some high-reaching goals and a few new
players.
The team ended its 201112 season
with a 26-7 record overall; the 26 wins
tie Head Coach Jeff Judkins record for
most wins in a season. The Cougars n-
ished 12-4 in the West Coast Conference.
Finishing second in the WCC in the
teams rst season in the conference,
Judkins got his sixth 20-plus win sea-
son, making him the winningest head
coach in womens basketball history.
After last years second-place n-
ish, the team is aiming higher for this
season.
Well obviously it should be ours for
the taking this year, junior guard Kim
Parker said. We would be disappointed
if we didnt take the conference this
year.
In its 201112 season, the team made
an appearance at the NCAA tourna-
ment; this year the Cougars plan on
not only making it there, but staying in.
Last year built the foundation for
this year, senior guard Haley Steed
said. Going in to last year we wanted to
make it to the NCAA tournament, and
we hadnt done that for a while. This
year we realize our goals are bigger
than that. We dont just want to make
it, we want to make noise in the tourna-
ment. Having that foundation from last
year, I think we learned a lot; a lot of
these players gained a lot of very valu-
able experience and post-season experi-
ence with both the tournament in Vegas
and the NCAA tournament last year. I
think that experience is really a big
building block for this team.
Judkins is excited and proud to have
two seniors returning to the team and
believes with them leading the Cougars
they will be able to go even further in
the NCAA tournament.
I think thats why Haley came back,
Judkins said. She came back for us to
be able to reach our dreams a little bit
further and hopefully get Sweet 16, and
if were on a roll, get to the top four. So
thats something that we are aiming
for.
Steed played in 2007 then had an
injury red-shirt in 2008 and came back
200911. She has decided to stay on and
play for a fourth year.
Senior Keilani Unga played from
200810. After leaving the team for two
seasons, Unga is back this year to play
her fourth year.
Keilani was around the team the last
couple of years, so it wasnt like shes
some new face coming, Judkins said.
Last year, she really decided she wanted
to (return to the team), but I told her the
only way she could do it was to practice
with our team last year, and she did that.
She was willing to sacrice. She has

thing for us right now
is to emphasize the

Freshman running back Baby J is excelling in first year at BYU
B y T AY L O R S T R E E T
Time is running out with 13:43
left on the clock. Down 724; BYU
has to score. The ball is snapped.
Bodies, pads, helmets crash
together.
Jamaal Williams takes a
pitch from Taysom Hill, rolls to
his left, dodges a defender, col-
lides with three more defenders
and somehow nds himself in
the end zone.
Touchdown.
Wi l l i a ms
fourth-quarter
touchdown
the first in
his career at
BYU kept the
Cougars alive
against Utah
on Sept. 15 ear-
lier this year.
We all know
how the game
ended. But for
Williams, it
was just the
beginning.
All you heard was nothing. It
was just silent, Williams said,
smiling as he recalled his rst
collegiate touchdown. It was
wonderful. I was just shocked
that I got in, so I kind of froze for
a minute until one of the linemen
came and shook me.
Williams, or Baby J, as hes
known among other student ath-
letes, is just a freshman and is
already making waves on a vet-
eran BYU offense, playing in all
eight games thus far and averag-
ing 5.2 yards per carry.
Oh yeah, and hes only 17.
For a 17-year-old, Jamaal Wil-
liams is very mature, junior
running back Michael Alisa
said. He came in with a hard-
working mentality. He came in
with the men-
tality that he
wanted to con-
tribute to the
team, and hes
denitely been
able to do that.
Its impressive
for his age, but
just as a new-
comer it shows
a lot about his
character.
Williams, a
native of Fon-
tana, Calif., is
a prototypical
college running back, standing
at 6 feet tall and weighing 190
pounds.
Though he is nearly a year
younger than most players in his
class Williams skipped second
grade and he turned 17 in April
he helped Summit High School
win a California Interscholastic
Federation division champion-
ship last fall. He was also named
league offensive MVP, CIF offen-
sive MVP and received All-CIF
and All-League First-Team hon-
ors. Williams was recruited by
New Mexico State, UCLA, Utah,
Oregon, Idaho, Arizona State,
San Diego State, Boise State and
BYU.
With so many options on the
table, Williams said he picked
BYU because of its high moral
standards.
I picked BYU mostly because
most of the football players are
like me, Williams said. They
do all the things you know you
have to do if you want to win.
That means you dont drink,
you dont smoke, you dont do
anything that you know is going
to be an obstacle in winning a
championship.
Though BYUs standards
matched his own personal stan-
dards, Williams, who is not LDS,
said living in Provo has been
quite the culture shock.
Its way different. Its awk-
ward at times, but Im getting
used to it. Its just going to take
a while, because its extremely
different than where Im from,
Williams said, pausing and
chuckling. Theres lots of white
people.
Williams said life in the
dorms at Helaman Halls is one
of the biggest surprises he has
encountered during his few short
months in Provo.
People dont sleep. At all,
Williams said. They stay awake
at like two in the morning, yell-
ing and having fun all the time.
They just dont sleep. Ever. Ill be
asleep, and I can just hear them
yelling, playing tag in the hall-
ways. Its just crazy.
Williams said aside from
missing his friends and family,
he misses his boxer Dayday the
most. To help ease the separa-
tion, Williams said he goes bowl-
ing a lot more than he used to and
enjoys talking to girls and hang-
ing out with his other freshmen
football players outside the Can-
non Center.
We just hang out outside the
Cannon Center, and we just do
outrageous things, he laughed.
Well go window singing a lot.
We go to the girls dorms, and
well throw a rock at their win-
dow, and well start singing to
them. Its pretty awesome.
Williams said that another
shock is the number of married
players on the football team.
Ive never seen so many mar-
ried people in my life, Williams
laughed. It can be awkward. Its
just funny to hear (teammates)
talking about their marital
problems and Im like, Gross,
Im only 17! Im not even think-
ing about getting married. I dont
even have a girlfriend. Its just
funny to hear their problems
because theyre, like, old people
problems. But the guys arent
even that old.
However awkward the
dynamic may be, Williams said
the players accept each other for
who they are, and he is learning
valuable lessons from older, mar-
ried players.
The positive thing about it
is they really seem like theyre
happy with their lives, being
married and stuff, Williams
said. So I know that if I look for
the right person, when its time,
then Ill be as happy as them.
Its also fun being on a team
with older guys because I feel like
I have an advantage because I
feel like my team is old and expe-
rienced and they know what to
do. I feel like that gives us a great
chance of winning almost every
game we play.
While Williams is dealing
with cultural differences in
Provo, he is also learning how to
balance the demands of college
sports and schoolwork at the
same time.
Its a little more difcult than
it used to be. I have to really stay
on the ball and cant fall behind,
Williams said. I have two mind-
sets. There are times for class-
work and just all school stuff.
Then when its time for football,
I have to change the perspective
of the day to football time and
cant worry about school at that
moment. Because if youre trying
to think about homework while
youre about to run a play, youre
going to do pretty bad.
According to Alisa, Williams
ability to compartmentalize
school work, football and his
social life is one of the biggest
factors contributing to his suc-
cess so far.
One of the biggest character-
istics of a good football player is
the ability to just put aside any
stress you feel, Alisa said. In
college football, thousands of
people are watching you, so its
easy to get your stress level up.
As a young kid, youve got to be
able to put that aside and focus on
the task at hand and just do your
job, and thats something that
(Jamaal) has been able to learn
pretty quickly.
Williams is taking classes
in sociology, health, student
development, environmental
science and an introduction to
Mormonism class, but he doesnt
know what he wants to major in
yet.
Williams said the biggest thing
he has learned as a collegiate stu-
dent athlete is time management.
Ive learned that if you dont
fall behind, youll be okay, he
said. Just enjoy your time here
and dont dwell on the things you
cant do, just be positive about
the things you can do. That will
make your life here easier and
a lot more fun than you think it
can be.
After all Williams BYU expe-
rience has entailed football
games, cultural differences,
school work, etc. he says one of
his favorite things is being able to
set a positive example for friends
in Fontana.
It gives me a warm heart
inside to see that Im really hav-
ing a positive impact on peoples
lives back home, Williams said.
They may not like BYU, but
they like BYU because Im here.
I really appreciate them because
they support me being here and
playing football. Its awesome
showing them that you can go
anywhere and play football and
still be happy with your life.

New players ready
to contribute
Continued from Page 9
gotten in shape, she under-
stands whats going on, she is
an important part of our team.
The way she plays really ts
well with this team, so I think
thats going to help us a lot.
The Cougars, however, also
lost two seniors at the end of last
season Dani Peterson and
Kristen Riley.
Rebounding is concern-
ing me because we lost Riley,
Judkins said. Riley was a
great rebounder, both her and
Peterson, so somebodys going
to have to step it up.
Six new freshmen join the
team this year; Kristine Fuller,
Kylie Maeda, Makenzi Morri-
son, Micaelee Orton and walk-
ons Brooke Romney and Carly
Stratton.
Overall I think all of the
new players are tting in really
well, Steed said. The freshmen
are super talented, super coach-
able, and all of them are really
hard workers. Obviously when
you have those qualities you
mesh in really well.
Judkins is also optimistic
about what the new players can
bring to the team.
Im really excited about these
four freshman, Judkins said.
They got here this summer,
worked hard, got in shape, went
to school and got their mindset
for what they need to do.
The Cougars are ready to come
out strong this year; their team
saying is posted just outside the
locker room, so they are con-
stantly reminded of who to be.
(The team saying) basically
says this year we will be stron-
ger, kinder, and it says we will
be erce, Parker said. So basi-
cally just being erce all the
time on the court, watching
lm thats our main goal, just
to always be erce.
Building upon last years suc-
cesses, the Cougars look forward
to the 201213 season.
We want to carry over the
kind of style that we played,
Judkins said. And that was
press, up-tempo, move the ball,
hit the outside shot, be able to
play a really good man-to-man
defense.
BASKETBALL
Injuries wont
slow them down
Continued from Page 9
Chris Collinsworth had to end
his college basketball career
over the summer due to injuries.
Nate Austin had shoulder
surgery over the summer and
recovered well, but has had to
sit out practices the last two
days due to a deep thigh bruise
last week. Stephen Rogers is still
suffering some setbacks from a
knee injury and Rose said there
is a possibility he could miss the
season, but remains optimistic.
Stephen is doing a lot
better, Rose said. Hes got a
knee brace that is supposed
to help change the impact.
Everything he has done the
last seven days has not caused
swelling and that is the issue.
Not only will BYU fans see a
little bit different team this year,
but they will be seeing it from a
different view. Over the summer
the Marriott Center went
through renovations, including
changes to the student section.
The benches from the
student section were removed
and replaced with new, more
comfortable seating. Then the
student section was moved to
the west side, behind the basket,
in portals M through S. The
students will be closest to the
visiting teams bench, because
the benches have been moved
from the south side to the north
side.
While students will have
to wait and see what the new
change is like, Carlino feels it
could be effective.
Its different when you got
the other team in your ear,
Carlino said.
A new sound system and
remodeled mens and womens
locker rooms were other recent
additions to the Marriott Center.
While the team welcomes the
changes, they are just ready to
play basketball.
We cant wait to get going,
Davies said. Its been too long.
BYU fans who also feel it has
been too long will get their rst
chance to see the team Oct. 24
at the Marriott Center for the
Cougar Tipoff at 7 p.m. and then
Oct. 27 for the rst exhibition
game against Southeastern
Oklahoma State.

Saints and sinners run for missionaries
First annual half marathon race to support future missionaries takes place in Boulder City, Nev.
B y R Y A N G R AY
Saints and Sinners will host
its rst annual half marathon
Saturday Oct. 27, in Boulder
City, Nev. Saints and Sinners
is an organization that benets
youth of The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints who
require nancial assistance to
serve a mission.
This is the most meaningful
cause you will run for all year
long, Heidi Parks, race direc-
tor for Saints and Sinners, said.
This race is a whole new con-
cept where we bring LDS run-
ners from all over the United
States together for a great
cause. This is not an ofcial
Church race, but all the money
will be donated directly to
the LDS Church Missionary
Fund.
Heidi Parks had the idea to
start a race of LDS runners when
she attended the Hill Cumorah
Pageant a few years ago.
At the pageant I felt so
enriched to see so many mem-
bers gathered together, Parks
said. I ran into some friends
that were in my ward when I
was a kid, and my heart was
warmed to see them again.
After running into them, I
thought, We need more oppor-
tunities to bring members
together.
Parks pondered it and
decided to do something. She
called up her former student
body officers from BYUIdaho,
and they began planning a
race to bring LDS members
together.
A few months into the plan-
ning process, I felt very strongly
that the reason why I had the idea
for this race in the rst place was
to earn money for missionaries,
so we decided to donate all the
money to the Churchs general
missionary fund, Parks said.
It has been a huge labor of love
because at this point I have ve
kids, but the cause makes it all
worth it.
The race takes place Oct. 27
in Boulder City, Nev., in a park
next to the Hoover Dam. Parts
of the course include running
through old tunnels built in
1931. The tunnels used to house
railroad tracks that trains used
to bring material to build the
Hoover Dam.
Its a destination race, Kris-
tina Southam, Heidis younger
sister and executive member of
Saints and Sinners, said. My
sister raved about how beauti-
ful the area was, but I didnt real-
ize until I saw it for myself. Its
a gorgeous course.
There will be several aid sta-
tions throughout the course
for runners to rehydrate. The
right side of the course will be
for the saints, and the left side
of the course will be for the
sinners.
We thought it would be
great to add a little fun to the
races, because the event is a
few days before Halloween,
Southam said. If you want
fruit and water, you can go to
the saints side, but if you want
something a little more inter-
esting, you can go to the sin-
ners side and get a Gatorade
and doughnuts.
Because of the unique cause,
setting and food, the race has
attracted more than 300 run-
ners so far. One of the runners
is Cindy Fullmer of Boulder
City, who decided to run in the
race last spring when she saw
a friend comment about it on
Facebook.
My friend posted a link to
the race on Facebook, and I
decided that it was a perfect
course for me, Fullmer said.
I have never run a half mar-
athon before, and I had just
barely gotten into running.
Training for this race has been
a hard journey, but Im excited
for it. I feel ready.
The Churchs recent change
on the age of missionary service
has also inuenced how Fullmer
feels about the race.
Because of the recent mis-
sionary age change, a lot
of the new missionaries in the
eld will be people who werent
ready for it yet, Fullmer said.
These missionaries thought
they would have more time to
plan and save nancially. The
Saints and Sinners race is perfect
timing for these missionaries.
Runners for the half mara-
thon or relay race can still reg-
ister online.
Tennis, a Pearce family tradition
BYU player has
the chance to
compete and win
with his father
B y N I C O L E H I L L S T E A D
From the time he was nine
years old, BYU freshman John
Pearce has had the unique
opportunity of playing for his
high school tennis team, trav-
eling to new places for tourna-
ments and winning national
championships, all with his
father as his coach.
Johns father, Brad Pearce,
has been the mens tennis coach
at BYU for the last eight years
but the tennis tradition didnt
start there. John Pearces grand-
father coached at BYU as well,
from the mid 1960s to 1983.
I grew up on these courts,
Brad Pearce said. (My dad)
taught me, along with my broth-
ers and sisters, how to play, and
so my kids represent a third gen-
eration of tennis players.
When Brad graduated he
was the number-one player in
the U.S. and number ve in the
world, his wife, Cindi Pearce,
said. He actually ended up
going to play for UCLA, which
was the number-one ranked
team in the country. He said it
would have been a really tough
choice if his dad was still there
at BYU, but his dad had retired.
Recruited by schools like Har-
vard, Princeton and Columbia,
John also faced the difcult deci-
sion of choosing where his ten-
nis career would continue. After
much consideration, John chose
BYU, allowing once again for his
father to be his coach.
Brad Pierce said the relation-
ship with his son helps him to
demand a lot of him on the court.
I think it can go two ways
with a father-son relationship
or a father-daughter, he said. It
can go maybe a little bit harder
or a little bit softer, and I prob-
ably tend to be a little harder. I
think as far as the team situa-
tion goes John understands
that I will be one of those father-
coaches that will be tougher on
his son rather than lighter.
Johns father doubling as his
coach works well for the Pearce
family.
Ive enjoyed having him
(coach), John Pearce said.
Theres not many difculties
with having one of the best
coaches in the whole country as
your full-time coach that lives
with you.
Teammate Keaton Cullimore
noted the differences in Brad
and Johns relationship on and
off the court.
On the court theres a lot
more intensity, Cullimore said.
But then off the court theres a
lot more joking. Its denitely a
lot different; when theyre on the
court, its all business.
Brad Pearce said tennis has
strengthened his relationship
with his children and hes grate-
ful for the time hes had with
them.
Ive been able to spend a lot
of time with my kids, and I think
hopefully thats been a blessing,
he said. I think we know each
other well. (My children) have
seen the best of me, and theyve
seen sometimes the worst of me.
Brad said developmentally
John Pearce is a balanced young
man. He has always earned good
grades, worked hard at tennis,
made time for his family and
even makes time to serve his
community.
Perhaps the family can thank
the National Training Camp that
John went to as a child, where
the hosts sat the parents down
to discuss what kinds of things
would help a tennis players
development.
(They said) the ideal tennis
player development would be
set up where youd have your
on-court coach and youd have
your developmental coach,
who is in charge of everything
(else), Cindi Pearce said. So
at that time we put our family
plan together that Brad was
the on-court coach, but I was
in charge of everything else. I
was actually always the one in
charge of saying No, (Johns)
not playing tennis because he
hasnt done his homework, and
Brad had no say.
Cindi Pearce is known as the
team hero because of all her
contributions.
She plans all the team par-
ties, Cullimore said. She takes
all the pictures; she does a lot. I
dont know what would happen
without her.

Future fashion designer and BYU student
making her way into the industry
Karstin Lakes
story and advice
to aspiring fashion
designers in Utah
B y L A U R E N M O R A N
The low, melodic hum of a needle and
thread working in tandem is music to
Karstins ears. This hum signies an
artistic creation coming to fruition,
which was merely a sketch weeks
before.
Karstin Lake, a 21-year-old senior
from Trabuco Canyon, Calif., major-
ing in piano performance, found there
werent enough hours in the day to
accomplish her laundry list of to-dos. As
mid-terms approached, Lake sacriced
time at one of her favorite spots the
sewing machine. When she isnt attend-
ing class, fullling her duties as the
Provo Towne Centre marketing assis-
tant, setting up fashion shows or tailor-
ing suits, Lake is making her needle and
thread bring about the vision of her next
fashion line. She has honed her design
skills for modest styles that match the
standards of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints.
As the world becomes increasingly
separate from the Church, it will be
more important to know how to make
your own clothes, Lake said.
This aspiring fashion designer
started sewing lessons at the age of 14.
Lake decided to attend BYU but found
no fashion program catering to her
future goals. BYU has sewing and cloth-
ing construction classes in the School
of Family Life, but no fashion design
major.

BYU students balance
standards within the
arts
B y K A T E L Y N J O H N S
In a world where modest is not con-
sidered the hottest, many wouldnt
expect the visual arts students at
BYU, where figure drawing is not
done using nude models, to be some
of the best in the country.
BYUs Department of Visual Arts
is third in the nation and has found
a way to work within the Honor Code
while still remaining competitive
with students in secular programs
across the country.
Robert Barrett, a distinguished
painter, illustrator and professor of
illustration at BYU, said although
visual art students at BYU are not
exposed to the graphic material that
is prevalent in other art programs, it
does not hinder the students chances
for a future career.
We have students at all the studios,
from Disney to DreamWorks, to Sony
Pictures Imageworks and Blue Sky
Studios, Barrett said. They place a
huge emphasis on the human figure.
Our students are known for drawing
the figure really well, despite the fact
that we dont normally draw with
models that are totally nude.
Barrett clarified how censorship in
an art students education should be
taken into context.
This happens in physics or sci-
ence or chemistry, that you have to
contextualize things, he said. A
nude image in and of itself is not sala-
cious or pornographic. Now some may
choose to see it that way, but I think
that is a limitation of their training or
their background.
Stephanie Secrist, a recent gradu-
ate of BYU from Loveland, Colo.,
explained her work as a model for
visual arts classes.
It was never uncomfortable
because of the people in the class
or the teacher, she said. The only
thing that made it uncomfortable
sometimes was my own experience
of being scantily clad around peo-
ple. The teachers and students are

Matthew Turley: An artist who makes the world his studio
Viewing the world through a photography lens is the realization of a life-long dream for this BYU graduate
B y K R I S T E N W I L L D E N
Commercial photographer
Matt Turley loosened his seat
belt to get a better angle, desir-
ing a better aerial shot of the Tas-
man Sea.
The majestic view of waves
crushing against the cliffs in
Antarctica was just one scene
that Turley had the privilege to
photograph.
It was an amazing experi-
ence, ying only a hundred feet
or so over the water and watch-
ing and photographing the enor-
mous waves coming in across
the Tasman Sea from stormy
Antarctica, he said. I also had
a brief moment of excitement
when I turned to swap out cam-
eras and accidentally knocked
the seat belt latch open, leaving
me completely untethered for a
few seconds, standing outside the
airplane above a surging sea.
The BYU graduate is based in
Sandy and periodically lectures
on campus.
After coming back from his
LDS mission, Turley was going
to follow his familys footstep
and go into a medical eld, but
a month before taking the Medi-
cal College Admissions Test,
he knew that was not what he
wanted to do in his life. Tur-
ley took a leap of faith to fol-
low his passion. He became a
photographer.
I just knew I liked it, he said.
When Turley turned 14, he
and his father went to a com-
munity photography class and
printed his rst pictures in the
darkroom.
It was like magic, he
said. But I made a lot of really
terrible pictures.
Turley and his parents moved
to Guatemala when he turned
16, and thats when he started
to discover his passion for pho-
tography. He went to a small
private school and had only
ve classmates. The owners
daughter was married to a man
who majored in photography at
BYU. The rst thing he did was
to install the darkroom. Turley
spent hours and hours in the
darkroom. He didnt think he
had any gifts at that point, but
he was very passionate about
it. He thoroughly enjoyed his
classes at BYU.
Val Brinkerhoff, associate
professor of photography at
BYU, took Turley to Machu Pic-
chu and Mexico while mentoring
and using his Spanish speaking
skills.
Matt was a very talented
and motivated student, he said.
Today, Matt is known for his
use of personalized and expres-
sive color, often in outdoor set-
tings. Part of his unique look
comes from his use of large
format lm. Matt is talented,
energetic and fun to be around.
I enjoyed working with him. I
believe clients do as well. He
has become a very successful
professional.
Turley receives inspiration
from many sources; a documen-
tary lm Jiro Dreams of Sushi;
a novel, Doctor Zhivago, by Boris
Pasternak; traveling and outdoor
activities.
Daniel Mortensen, a senior
from Boise, Idaho, majoring
in photography, met Turley in
2004. Mortensen still remem-
bers hearing stories from other
professors about Turley waking
up early to go skiing and to take
pictures before class started.
I was very impressed with
his work, Mortensen said. He
was able to capture the beauty of
the mountain and get the right
lighting. He has his own style,
how he approaches the color and
contrasts of darks and lights.
Upon completing an intern-
ship in Los Angeles, Turley
found another opportunity
in Idaho. Andy Anderson, an
Idaho-based photographer, hired
Turley after Andersons previ-
ous assistant quit.
Andy Anderson made the
world my studio, Turley said.
Working with him, I realized
that I didnt have to live in a big
city. He always told me you could
be a photographer anywhere you
had the Internet, FedEx and an
airport. Every job is unique. I
never know where Ill be travel-
ing to next or what Ill be photo-
graphing, which I nd incredibly
exciting.
Turley said ones perspective
of the world is the most impor-
tant contributor to photography.
Youve got to be yourself, he
said. Youve got to nd your own
vision, which can only come from
your own explorations and expe-
riences it cant come from any-
one else. Being a photographer is
so much more than simply own-
ing and operating a camera.

FASHION
BYU student
making her way
into fashion
industry
Continued from Page 13
BYUs family and consumer sci-
ence major within the School of
Family Life, said the textile and
sewing classes offered through
the school were time intensive
and informative.
I took a class where you
learned how different fabrics
burn, how they wear, how they
deal with moisture, and the
best types to use for projects,
Schow said. The class was
very time consuming in terms
of studying. I have to say it was
the hardest class I took at BYU
in my major.
Although there is no set fash-
ion program, Lake has taken
her skills and decided to put on
a fashion show next semester
in February. She recruited 13
designers and numerous stu-
dent models. BYUSA has helped
Lake in her planning for the
fashion show.
Abraham Kim, a senior from
Sandy, working for the activi-
ties department at BYUSA,
said Lake had her fashion
show approved through the
student choice activity pro-
cess. Kim said the process con-
sists of students bringing an
idea to BYUSA and waiting for
approval.
Its a blank slate where stu-
dents come and have their ideas
come to life, Abraham said.
Kim said the student choice
activities are a means to get stu-
dents involved and creatively
execute events.
Back at the sewing machine,
Lake methodically runs her
fabric through the needle and
thread. While clothing design
may seem trivial to some, Lake
said she believes our outward
appearance projects who we are
and what we stand for.
One of my favorite quotes is
from Mark Twain, and he says,
Clothes make the man. Naked
people have little or no inu-
ence on society, Lake said.
In the future, she plans on
forming her own fashion acad-
emy where all can come and
learn sewing, design, photog-
raphy and other aspects of the
fashion industry. Lake said she
wants to design modest clothes
for everyone.
Because I have had so many
opportunities placed in my life,
it would be ungrateful to design
something immodest, Lake
said. I really feel like since
God has given me these oppor-
tunities that I need to follow his
standards.
ART
Students BYU art
experience makes
them unique
Continued from Page 13
very professional and it was
all about art and form and
about grace and beauty.
Secrist, who modeled for two
semesters for a sculpture class
and a gure drawing class, said
that she was able to choose what
she wore as a model, and she wore
a bikini.
You werent forced to wear
anything super see through or
really uncomfortable or anything
that made you feel uncomfort-
able, she said.
Secrist explained how visual
art students can still learn all
about the human gure without
using a nude models.
For some people, its less dis-
tracting because you are focused
on angles and body parts instead
of certain body parts, she said.
Daniel Barney, an art educa-
tion professor at BYU and pro-
fessional artist, researcher and
educator, described censoring as
not just a result of the Honor Code.
I think that art is not moni-
tored so severely because I think
students and faculty do that on
their own, Barney said. Were
really good at self-censoring, and
I think thats a good thing.
Barney pointed out
that although graphic imagery
is part of many other art insti-
tutions, the art students at BYU
choose to self-censor.
I cant imagine my students
ever wanting to deal with those
kinds of images, and if they did, I
think they understand that this is
not the venue to do that, he said.
They would go somewhere else
if they were interested in certain
kinds of images.
Barney also explained that
employers might appreciate stu-
dents that are able to self-censor
artwork for specic venues and
audiences.
While its important to have
diversity in a community, theres
still a lot of expectations for teach-
ers, he said. People who hire
teachers from our program know
that were able to be self-censored.
I think students need to under-
stand that as an artist, there are
different places to exhibit their
work and different audiences. Not
all work would be appropriate for
every audience. We need to work
within specic expectations. We
censor ourselves.
Eric Smith, from Orland Park,
Ill., studying pre-animation,
explained that even though he is
not a member of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
he chose to study art at BYU as
opposed to other schools around
the nation.
BYUs animation program is
top notch, he said. Its third in
the nation. Pixar and Disney and
Dreamworks know good students
come out of that, so they always
recruit from our school.
Smith commented that art stu-
dents go into the program with
open eyes, knowing the diverse
subject material in art.
If youre in art, you have to
know that everything is not going
to be censored for you, he said.
You have to know that youre
going to come across some things
that youre not going to agree
with. Youre going to have to get
used to that.
FILTERING
Finding the balance
between protection
and hinderance
Continued from Page 13
standards, but liberal enough
to allow me to utilize and enjoy
the Internet as much as I need or
want.
Huber said that students need
to be proactive and responsible
with their Internet consumption.
The lter prevents the view-
ing of a good amount of inap-
propriate sites, Huber said.
However, it doesnt fully protect
BYU students if one is fully set on
doing things he or she shouldnt.
I admit that I have seen one or
two students on campus com-
puters viewing pornography.
Those who are set on hurting
themselves through inappropri-
ate Internet use will probably
always nd a way to do so.
For some students, however,
the lter is a source of frustra-
tion. If a student is not logged in
to the secure network, the lter
can cause other issues like mis-
directed pages and inability
to access approved sites. John
Carter, a mechanical engineer-
ing student, is frequently frus-
trated by these misdirections.
The thing that annoys me
is if you try to go to most web-
sites before you have signed in,
it does not take you to the secure
network sign-in page like it used
to, said Carter, a sophomore
from Idaho. Instead, a strange
red screen comes up saying that
this is probably not the site you
are looking for, and there is a
suspicious-looking red slash
through the URL. Its annoying.
Brian Buckner, a junior
majoring in exercise science,
thinks that the lter is extreme.
I dislike the lter at BYU
because it takes me longer than
necessary to nd the things
that I need, Buckner said. If I
search for something and Im not
specic, it will block it because
there is one thing that is consid-
ered inappropriate even though
there are thousands of things
that are appropriate.
Shelby Peterson, a masters
student studying information
systems, believes that the l-
ter is consistent with the val-
ues BYU espouses; but he also
sees the need to evaluate sites
individually.
I think a lter is nice so you
dont get porn or obviously mali-
cious stuff coming up in your
browser accidentally while
youre surfing the Internet,
Peterson said. For an organiza-
tion like BYU that promotes hon-
orable behavior, a lter seems
helpful. However, if there is a
grad student who is research-
ing cures for breast cancer, they
need to have access to materials
that the automatic lter blocks.
For those people who have a
valid reason to look up blocked
content, they can get permission
to override the lter.
Kirk Sanford, the director of
network solutions in the Ofce
of Information Technology, said
that the lter blocks more than
just inappropriate material.
In OIT, we have multiple lev-
els of security, and the web l-
ter is just one of them, Sanford
said. There are dozens of things
you can (lter), and we use six or
seven of those things, like gam-
bling, pornography, malware,
illegal content and sites that
have known malicious content
on them.
There are times when the l-
ter blocks a website or program
that should not be blocked or that
students need access to for aca-
demic purposes.
When this happens, anyone
can submit a ticket to have the
site reviewed. Because anyone
can ask to have a site reviewed,
Sanford believes that keeping
the lter updated and relevant
is up to the campus commu-
nity. This attitude has led the
university to create a website,
besafe.byu.edu., to help educate
students on how to avoid damag-
ing content.
First thing, be aware, San-
ford said. We need to recognize
that there are multiple threats.
Students should also be proac-
tive in having their own lters
and virus scanners. Be respon-
sible, have integrity. Students
should also be responsible and
help each other know what to
look out for.

Students show some flare with leopard and floral print pants
The BYU student body is staying
fierce with loud fashion statements
B y L A U R E N M O R A N
Some BYU students are
embracing their youth with wild
pants suited for a zoo.
Whether it be leopard or o-
ral print, students say the recent
fall trend of patterned pants is
livening up their wardrobe
before the dark and dreary win-
ter sets in.
Keyla Rodriguez, a 21-year-old
from Gilbert, Ariz., majoring in
graphic design, owns a pair of
gray, leopard print pants. Rodri-
guez said her closet needed a
face lift and leopard print was a
creative alternative to her origi-
nal denim option.
For the past couple years,
jeans have been the common
thing to wear, Rodriguez said.
Now, it is fun to change things
up, like wearing leopard print
pants. People are getting cre-
ative with their outts.
Rodriguez wears her leopard
pants for fun. She said they work
well with boots in the winter
and are lively enough for sum-
mer. Rodriguez said she believes
now is the time for students to
get a little crazy with their
fashion.
We are students, so now is
the time to wear fun and crazy
things, she said. I mean, why
not wear leopard print pants?
For Rodriguez, the subtle
grey leopard is enough of a
fashion statement. She said she
thinks some oral print pants
are a little out there.
Taylor Veater, a senior from
Coarsegold, Calif., majoring
in business marketing, enjoys
wearing her oral print pants.
She also owns a pair of leopard
print leggings. Veater said the
ower pants were a necessary
purchase, adding variation to
her wardrobe. She owns two o-
ral patterned pants, a white pair
with a large ower and a gray
pair with owers subtly placed
everywhere.
For me, I have a lot of plain
shirts and it is fun to pair these
pants with them, Veater said.
Similar to Rodriguez, Veater
said she believes these pants are
a form of expression.
It is just one more way for
people to individualize them-
selves and express who they
are, she said. Anything worn
with condence can be worn
well.
Veater wears her pants as
everyday attire. She wore them
as an EFY counselor and to
school. While she enjoys wear-
ing these fun pants, Veater has
no plans on purchasing more.
I dont wear them a lot
because they are bold, she said.
I think two pairs is the maxi-
mum for what I like wearing.
Kirk Fong, a senior from
Honolulu, Hawaii, majoring in
city planning, does not wear
leopard or oral print pants, but
he does wear surf shorts with
various prints and designs to
campus. Most of his surf shorts
depict a tropical setting.
In Hawaii, anything goes,
Fong said. You can wear surf
shorts to the movies or to the
mall. It is kind of like dressing
up when you have a nice pair of
swim shorts on. You can wear
them anywhere, just not your
wedding.
Fong said they are comfort-
able, but make him stand out.
Here on the mainland, in
Provo, I feel out of place, he
said. People will ask, Oh, are
you going to go swimming? And
I am not.
As far as oral print pants,
Fong does not care what people
wear.
Some people focus too much
on the outside person, rather
than the inside person, he said.
BYU students art
gains popularity, finds
financial footing
Jed Henry, BYU animation grad, raised over $300,000
on Kickstarter for his Ukiyo-e Heroes project
B y L I N D S E Y W I L L I A M S
Mario has traveled back in
time to the 19th century in a new
artistic project, Ukiyo-e Heroes.
Jed Henry, a recent gradu-
ate of BYU, and David Bull, an
artist specializing in Japanese
woodblocks, recently raised over
$300,000 on the website Kick-
starter for Ukiyo-e Heroes.
For the project, Henry took
three of his loves Japan, video
games and illustration and
merged them together. He took
popular video game characters
including Mario, Pikachu, Kirby
and Samus and incorporated
them into the Japanese wood-
block style.
I wanted to make a move that
would fulll me artistically but
also something that people would
want to buy, Henry said. As an
artist, I can share all these differ-
ent parts of myself, but as an art-
ist who likes to eat, I want to share
the parts of myself that people
care about.
Henry set his goal on Kick-
starter as $10,400, but he said he
hoped for at least $200,000. His
hopes were exceeded when he
raised $313,341. Henry attrib-
uted part of the success to using
already popular video game char-
acters in his art.
Were riding the trail of what
these video games have already
done in terms of popularity and
exposure, but it was not a bad
move, Henry said. I wanted as
many people to like it as possible.
So Im glad a lot of people did, but
you never know because even if
you plan something to be success-
ful, thats no guarantee.
Ukiyo-e Heroes draws ele-
ments from the 19th-century
woodblock print movement in
Japan. Ukiyo-e literally means
pictures of the oating world.
The woodblock print movement
emphasized symbolism over nat-
uralism and incorporated ele-
ments of pop culture. Often the
subjects were famous celebrities
or popular ctional characters.
The process of creating a new
woodblock design begins with a
lot of research, Henry said. After
doing research, Henry does the
line work with a real Japanese
pen. He then adds color in Pho-
toshop. When the design is com-
plete, it is sent to David Bull, who
does the woodblock print. Bull
has been running a woodblock
print business in Japan for many
years.
Jack Stoneman, an assistant
professor of Japanese at BYU,
also aided in the project. Henry
was a student in Stonemans class.
The idea of the project excited
Stoneman.
When Jed rst told me about
it, I just knew it would be a hit,
Stoneman said. I think he had
an idea too, that it would be very
popular. Its a great way to bring
Japanese culture into the gaming
world of the United States but also
reinvigorate Japanese woodblock
print culture. It goes both direc-
tions, which makes it a wonderful
project.
Stonemen did the calligraphy
for the wood prints. One of Hen-
rys pieces, Rickshaw Carts,
uses slightly altered Japanese
Kanji, a system of Japanese writ-
ing to convey a deeper meaning.
The rst characters spell Mario,
and the last character is the char-
acter for cart, but it is made up of
three carts.
The meaning of three is actu-
ally thunderous noise, so were
playing with the idea of the thun-
derous noise of many carts, but
we are also using it to convey the
idea of carts, Stoneman said.
Thats been one of my favorite
parts, manipulating the Japa-
nese in order to ll these labels
and inscriptions and names of
the video game characters with
all sorts of meaning.
Abby Grout, a junior studying
media arts, likes that Henry has
modernized a past art movement.
Hes going back to an older
art form and learning how to
do it, and I feel like that keeps it
alive, Grout said. The way that
he made the video game char-
acters t into the old style was
something I wasnt expecting.
They look completely different,
but the spirit is there.
Nathan Hardyman, an illus-
tration major from Rigby, Idaho,
nds Henrys idea inspiring.
He inspires me to follow my
passions, Hardyman said. He
is doing something that he loves.
The project itself is really beauti-
ful, and I think its a really cool
idea thats really original. Even
more than that, the coolest thing
is that hes taking his passions
and hes nding a way to combine
them to do something he is really
excited about. I think thats where
you get true success.

The corn maze craze
B y R Y A N G R AY
Brett Herbst, BYU grad
and founder of the MAiZE,
the worlds largest corn maze
family, lives his life by advice
he received long ago.
My grandma used to always
say, If you think about any-
thing too long, youll probably
never do it, Herbst said.
After Herbst graduated from
BYU in 1995, he decided to fol-
low his grandmothers advice
and build something he had
thought about for awhile. I
read about a man in Pennsylva-
nia who made a corn maze, and
I thought it would be a great
idea to bring here to Happy Val-
ley, Utah. I rented a piece of land
from a man in American Fork
and started my rst corn maze
in 1996.
This maze was the largest
corn maze created in the west-
ern United States and drew
in more than 18,000 people in
its rst three weeks. After this
great success, Herbst began The
MAiZE. Currently, his company
makes more than 250 mazes a
year in the U.S., Canada and
Europe.
What started out as one corn
maze has grown to more than
ve here in Utah Valley. Some
mazes are scary; some are for
children. Some are large, and
some are small. With a variety
of choices, there is something
for everyone.
I love haunted corn mazes
because you get scared and
youre also lost, Zoe Peterson,
a 19-year-old freshman from
Provo said. Its a fun activity
because you learn a lot about
your friends when they are lost
and cannot get out. One of my
friends actually cries in corn
mazes, which makes it even
more fun.
Other people prefer a more
traditional corn maze.
The big appeal of a corn
maze for me is its not a haunted
house, Garrett Edmonds, a
24-year-old senior from St.
George said. Im not a fan of
haunted houses. A corn maze
is better because its something
you can do with your friends,
its great for a date night activ-
ity and its one of the best things
to do during the fall season.
No matter what type of corn
maze it is, people are attracted
by the sense of adventure they
will have while wandering
through the maze.
There is something about
wandering around lost, Jeri
Allphin, senior director of
Alumni Relations at UVU,
said. The corn is anywhere
from six to eight feet tall, and
youre disoriented, but youre
also in a safe environment. Its
a brain puzzle in a giant arena.
Together with other UVU
faculty, Allphin created a spe-
cial corn maze in Payson. This
maze is a collaboration between
UVU, the city of Payson and a
local farmer to provide scholar-
ships for local Payson residents
to attend UVU. The project has
been operating successfully for
two years.
We ended up with enough
funds from the corn maze last
year to give out two full scholar-
ships, which, for our rst year,
was really good, Allphin said.
This years design of the maze
is the UVU logo. Although the
designs differ depending on
which maze you attend, the pro-
cess is all the same.
Its all designed on a com-
puter, said Logan Bench,
supervisor at CornBellys.
When we implement the design
on a eld, we usually do it when
the corn is still short. We print
out the blue prints and then it is
just like a giant game of connect
the dots, where we hand-cut
each corn stalk. It takes a lot of
hard work and skill.
This hard work pays off
because of the countless people
who attend corn mazes every
year to see something unique.
The truth is, there is nothing
like corn mazes, Herbst said.
Plan ahead when dining out
The bill doesnt need to be the biggest surprise of the evening
B y K E N N E T H B A L D W I N
It is a familiar scene at many
restaurant tables: patrons laugh
and joke after nishing a meal
only to face terrifying silence as
the waiter discreetly drops off
the bill.
Reviewing the numbers only
makes the buzz-kill worse as
consumers count and second-
guess the prices presented to
them.
Restaurants have been in
business since ancient times. It
is a competitive industry, and
the eating establishments that
stay in business have learned
their numbers well. Built into
the dining experience are
attractive menu designs, appe-
tizing photographs, waiters
with good selling techniques
and several courses of dining
to navigate.
Eating out at a restaurant can
be a costly experience if con-
sumers arent careful. However,
there are many ways to ensure
that the check at the end of the
bill doesnt make your checks
bounce.
Rob York, a video editor at
BYU Broadcasting, is passion-
ate about food and knows how to
be sensible with his budget. My
wife and I usually just order a
dish and share, York said. I
mean, you dont go home with
leftovers, but you definitely
get plenty for your meal at the
restaurant.
Playing portion size correctly
can be key to eating out right.
Besides saving money by not
buying an excessive amount of
food, the bill can stay low and
the possibility of overeating
diminishes.
Social pressures can add to
the frequency of dining-out
experiences. Mary Fulton is
studying English teaching and
is among students who may
regret being pressured into
spending money by well-mean-
ing friends and associates.
I usually go out and regret
it later because I spend way too
much, Fulton said.
As a result of dining out so
often, Fulton has adopted her
own methods of keeping prices
down.
At the restaurant I drink
water, Fulton said. Usually
sandwiches are cheaper items
on the menu, so if I stick with
those I dont spend too much.
While navigating the menu
carefully can be helpful, there
are also ways to literally pay
less for the food. There are sev-
eral deal sites online that focus
on getting users deals on dining
locally, like Groupon or Living
Social.
There are also sites online,
like Restaurant.com, that sell
discounted gift certicates to
restaurants.
Many restaurants have deals
built into their marketing cam-
paigns. By providing an email
newsletter or a text program,
many restaurants, like Happy
Sumo, offer monthly offers
exclusive to their subscribers.
The most important thing
to remember when eating out,
however, may be to simply plan
ahead. By becoming familiar
with the menu and price range
of the restaurant beforehand,
it can be easier to make wise
choices when everyone is wait-
ing for you to order.
Im not surprised when the
bill comes, said Colin King, a
senior studying photography. I
dont go and eat if I cant afford
it. When I do eat out, its a spe-
cial thing. I have the money
saved up before. I sometimes
will look up the menu online
before so I know how much
things cost. We just plan ahead,
Dave Ramsey style.

Hollywood favors
Democrat donations
B y J A C O B R O B E R T S
A new study by the Cen-
ter for Responsive Politics
has re-affirmed the popular
conception that the enter-
tainment industry leans left.
The study found that enter-
tainment industry work-
ers within the seven major
media conglomerates
Comcast, Disney, News
Corp., Time Warner, CBS,
Viacom and Sony gave
Democrats more than $4 mil-
lion and Republicans a mere
$711,000 between January
and July 2012.
Hal Heaton, professor of
finance at BYUs Marriott
School, said these numbers
dont surprise him. I think
every industry establishes
a culture, Heaton said in
an email. Over time, those
who are uncomfortable with
the culture leave it, and those
who are comfortable come.
This happens to be the cul-
ture of the entertainment
and media industries.
Heaton said one danger-
ous effect of this is that
everyone gets their informa-
tion from these industries
who typically tilt left. Thus
the people who get their
information from them will
also tilt left.
Even though it can have
harmful effects on soci-
etys information distri-
bution, Heaton said there
are times when corporate-
sponsored political dona-
tions are acceptable, if
not a responsibility of a
particular business.
If regulations have a
significant impact on their
business, they have a right
and even an obligation to let
politicians know what those
decisions will cost the busi-
ness, Heaton said.
He believes that whether
donations are given privately
or through the corporation,
the employees and company
need to do whats best for the
business.
Tamara Masters, a profes-
sor of marketing at the Mar-
riott School, said this is more
than likely why the enter-
tainment industry gives so
much to Democrats. This
ref lects the understanding of
these workers and corporate
leaders that the Democrats
are more likely to fund the
arts, and thus it is in their
best interest to be sure there
is more funding thus more
jobs and entertainment,
Masters said in an email.
Masters says that business
firms look after their best
interests and back the indi-
vidual whom they believe
will give them the most
assistance in providing their
product or service.
Just as firms pay for mar-
ket information and product
development, etc., they may
choose to pay to assist a polit-
ical person or group that will
help their firm grow or at
least not hinder their ability
to do business, Masters said.
There could be more to the
industry favoring one party
over the other beyond busi-
ness purposes though.
Fi l m st udent Oscar
Jimenez, a native of New
Jersey, being a Democrat
on New Jersey is the cool
thing, while being Repub-
lican is frowned upon. Per-
haps the same stigma exists
in Hollywood.
While Jimenez doesnt
belong to any specific politi-
cal party, he says the most
important thing is standing
up for what you believe in.
You have to find a balance
to please everyone, but stay
true to what you believe in,
Jimenez said.

Dr. Syed Nabi, a doctor at the
Sleep Institute of Utah in Ogden,
treats individuals who have or
may have a sleep disorder.
You have to figure out where
[the symptoms] are coming
from, Nabi said. Its like a head-
ache.
Similar to a headache, the
symptoms could come from a
number of different stressors in
the persons life.
Dr. Nabi meets with his pa-
tients and asks them questions
about their symptoms. If he sus-
pects an issue with the patients
sleep, he will order a sleep study.
This study evaluates the person
while he or she is sleeping and
measures brain activity.
Jared Facer, a senior major-
ing in international studies at
BYU-Hawaii, has the most severe
form of sleep insomnia. Facer, of
San Clemente Calif., served as a
missionary in Colorado Springs,
Colo., where he received his diag-
nosis. According to doctors, his
insomnia was triggered by high
elevation. After staying awake
for seven days, he was honorably
released from his mission. Five
years later, doctors are still un-
able to help him sleep.
I sleep maybe six hours a
week, he said. My body func-
tions on about two hours of sleep
[a night]. Ive been on every type
of medication, but nothing will
work.
Since the time most people
spend sleeping is time Facer can
use to his advantage, he said he
tries to be productive.
I work a lot, he said. I do a
lot of pondering and scripture
reading. Isaiah is not as boring
as people told me it was.
Sara Michael, a junior major-
ing in public relations, also be-
lieves she has a sleep disorder,
though she has not been diag-
nosed.
A lot of times when Im sleep-
ing, I wake up and think my
dream is still happening, she
said. My dreams are really
crazy.
At times, she dreams a family
member is in danger or someone
dangerous is in her room. She
wakes up and acts how she would
if the event was happening, at
times creating a comical situation.
Michael said her vivid dreams
can affect her sleep because she
still thinks about them, even af-
ter she is awake and knows it was
a dream.
Sometimes [when I am dream-
ing] I want to stop the dream, but
I cant, she said.
To fall back asleep, she listens
to music or lies in bed quietly.
Michael believes her active
dreams could be caused by stress
because they often occur when
she is in a new environment or
with new people.
While these two students have
rather severe cases of sleep dis-
orders, many Americans have
problems sleeping, including
BYU students. Those experienc-
ing symptoms can receive help
on campus from Biofeedback
Services in the Wilkinson Stu-
dent Center.
Barbara Morrell is a clinical
professor at the Counseling and
Career Center and coordinator
of Stress Management and Bio-
feedback Services.
We use biofeedback to help
people become aware of stress in
the body and where theyre hold-
ing the stress and tension and
then to learn to relax it, she said.
While Biofeedback Services
does not treat diagnosed medical
conditions, it is designed to help
relieve stress and tension, often
alleviating common sleep disor-
der symptoms.
One of the ways that stress
impacts sleep is that our brain
waves are different speeds, de-
pending on what were doing,
Morrell said. Our brains are
fast for thinking and doing and
very slow for sleeping. If we are
stressed and our mind is racing,
it is very tough for our minds to
slow down enough to sleep.
Biofeedback Services focuses
on relaxation training. Anyone
seeking help with relaxation
techniques can either schedule
an appointment with Biofeed-
back Services or visit the web-
site, caps.byu.edu/biofeedback-
and-stress-management, where
downloadable relaxation re-
cordings are available as well
as information on ways to sleep
better.

What started as an idea for a
simple Christmas gift, turned
into something Harry Potter
fans around the world could
enjoy year round.
In 2008, with Christmas just
around the corner, Sara Anst-
ed, a BYU graduate, was strug-
gling to think of a present for
her sisters. Knowing their love
for Harry Potter, Ansted went
online to find affordable, au-
thentic looking wands, but was
disappointed to find the wands
cost more than $70.
Ansted decided to try her
hand at whittling and made her
own Harry Potter wands.
I got some wooden dowels
from the BYU Bookstore and
said to myself, Ok lets see what
happens, she said.
Two years after Ansted made
her first wands she decided to
sell them online. She made
a store on Etsy.com and was
pleasantly surprised to see
people all over the world want-
ed to buy her wands. The wands
cost up to $18 and have been
purchased by people in Brazil,
Spain, England, Australia, Po-
land, Canada and Italy.
Stacy Julin, Ansteds co-
worker in the circulation de-
partment at the Provo City Li-
brary, purchased The wands as
birthday presents for her three
sons. She was impressed by the
workmanship and price.
Each wand is unique and re-
ally authentic looking, Julin
said. Ive seen other wands for
sale at craft sales and farmers
markets, but they are priced
much higher, and I like Saras
Wands better. My kids just de-
scribe them as awesome.
Ansteds wands can be found
online by visiting Etsy.com
and searching Embershad-
eDragon.

Students with Provo in their
rearview mirror are missing out
during spring term.
The well-kept secret of spring
term is full of warm weather ac-
tivities, like river rafting and re-
cord-setting water balloon ghts,
that would be simply miserable in
the middle of December.
The worlds largest water bal-
loon ght in Summer 2010 was
hosted by BYUSA, BYUs student
service association, with almost
4,000 students and more than
120,000 water balloons.
While campus activities are
scaled down during spring term,
there is still plenty to do. Clubs
and other student groups, such as
the popular Laugh Out Loud com-
edy troupe, also hold activities. Be
sure to check the events calendar
on The Universe website for up-
dates and more information.
For those seeking a spiritual
boost, devotionals and forums
also continue during spring term.
Students who have purchased
an All Sport Pass and want to
watch a good sporting event can
enjoy baseball and softball games,
as well as tennis matches and
track and eld competitions.
Steven Leyland, a pre-business
major, said campus is less crowd-
ed during spring term, which is a
potential benet.
Campus is more freed up, Ley-
land said. There isnt all the foot
trafc where you cant get to class
on time because youre bumping
into people.
In a poll done by The Universe,
71 percent of students who partici-
pated said they do not take classes
during spring or summer terms.
Milanne Carpenter, a nursing
major, said even though classes
are hard, studying for nals is
easier because the course takes
place over a shorter period.
Although it was intense, a lot of
the teachers are pretty laid back,
Carpenter said. And I like that I
only have to remember material
from two months ago instead of
four months ago.
Another benet of being on cam-
pus during the summer months
is the weather. With warm spring
temperatures, many students en-
joy being outside to throw a fris-
bee around or just to take a break
between classes.
When youre coming out of
classes you can go sit on a bench
and it isnt cold, Leyland said.
David Bracero, a geography
major, summed up his favorite
things about spring term in one
sentence.
Smaller class sizes, not as
many credits, better parking and
good weather, Bracero said.
B y K R I S T A R O Y
There is a tarp tucked under the
bed, with a sleeping bag stacked on
top, seeming anxious and ready to
go.
Their owner, Kim Stevens, a se-
nior from Colorado Springs study-
ing mechanical engineering, puts
them to good use. Last summer she
set a goal to never spend Friday
night in her bed.
I was thinking of things I want-
ed to do that summer and realized
there was no reason I shouldnt be
camping every Friday night, she
said.
Stevens camping streak lasted
from the start of summer into
the Fridays of fall, and she even
camped during winter semester.
In January, my roommates and
I went to Goblin Valley thinking
we would get warm weather, but
it got down to three degrees Fahr-
enheit, Stevens said. We didnt
sleep much, but it was still fun.
Scott Jackson, a junior from Ev-
erett, Wash. studying mechanical
engineering, found inspiration in
Stevens weekend hobby.
Our group just went out and did
something no one else was doing,
and it didnt need to be planned,
he said.
Stevens agrees and said this
hobby teaches her to live off the
bare necessities.
I bring a tarp, sleeping bag,
sometimes a hammock and run-
ning shoes, Stevens said. Theres
nothing better than rolling out of
a sleeping bag and running in the
Saturday air when everyone else
in Provo is still sleeping in their
beds.
Stevens and her outdoorsy atti-
tude will keep her out of her bed
again every Friday night this sum-
mer.
Life is too short to spend it
sleeping in your bed, she said.

Weekly five: Haunted
house favorites
B y K A T E L Y N G U D E R I A N
With a plethora of haunted
houses to choose from, BYU
students weighed in on which
ones they love to visit. In no
particular order, here are
BYUs most-talked about
haunts.
1. The Haunted Forest,
American Fork
The Haunted Forest is
known for being the areas
largest outdoor haunt. Sans
walls and ceilings, with a gen-
erally less-controlled environ-
ment, this haunt immerses
visitors in an authentic out-
door scarefest.
I think its a lot different
than other haunted houses
because being outside allows
them to do unique things you
wouldnt normally experi-
ence, said Kimberly Layton,
a sophomore studying physics.
2. Zombie Apocalypse, Lehi
The highly-interactive Zom-
bie Apocalypse tells the story
of a post-2012 world where
the few remaining survivors
make their way through zom-
bie-infested city remains. To
supplement the scares, mas-
termind and general man-
ager Mario Hipol, created an
entire comic book prefacing
the events of the apocalypse.
With fty actors and a profes-
sional makeup artist, the Zom-
bie Apocalypse is meant to tell
a story.
You really get your moneys
worth here, and its guaranteed
to scare, said Grant Smith, a
sophomore and pre-mechani-
cal engineering major. This
is the rst haunted house Ive
seen with a concept that takes
you through a story.
3. Nightmare on
13th, Salt Lake
Visitors of Nightmare
on 13th find themselves in
the heart of a technical and
highly-sophisticated world
that features three differ-
ent consecutive haunted
houses. Filled to the brim with
largerthanlife animatron-
ics, this haunt targets your
senses as you travel through
worlds of The Netherbeast,
Cirque du Fear and another
Zombie Apocalypse.
4. Anguish Asylum, Provo
As the closest haunted house
to BYU campus, Anguish Asy-
lum offers students an ideal
location and a cheaper price
than most local haunts. Evil
walking dolls, live animals
and a terrifying chainsaw
maze turn the parking garage
of Provo Towne Center into a
bad nightmare .
Visitors brave enough to
look around will be amazed by
the details of this haunt, and
feel like they have actually
been committed.
5. Insanity Point,
Thanksgiving Point
Insanity Point offers cus-
tomers seven different mini-
haunts in addition to its main
attraction, Cornophobia.
The large haunted corn maze
can only be accessed by rst
traveling through Hayloft
Horror and Cabin Fever.
The atmosphere was great
because Thanksgiving Point
was so family-friendly and
decked out for fall, but the
haunted houses still scared
me out of my pants, said Dan-
ielle Hanson, a junior studying
communication disorders.
I stole a dollar from my brother when I was
7 years old. I told him the day he left on his mis-
sion. It was to buy a street shark.
Speeding! I went through red lights. But I
stopped at the green ones to make up for it.

Authentic Italian pasta and pizza meet America
B y K E N N E T H B A L D W I N
Samyra Bova surveyed her
lunch options while hurrying
between school and work in
the streets of Milan, Italy. Dis-
appointed in her options, she
remembered when she was a
child and her mother made her
serving-size pies with avorful
llings like hazelnut, apricot
and Paradiso, a combination of
eggs and vanilla.
Bovas mother represents ele-
ments of a country that has been
immortalized by its contribu-
tions to the global food culture.
Italian food has permeated the
U.S. with contagious popularity.
However, while nding a home
in America, it has adapted to
survive. As a result, it can be
difcult to nd authentic Ital-
ian food, the type of food Bovas
mother would be proud of.
The Italian people (have)
never invented any type of fast
food, Bova said. At most we
imported some, but weve never
created them.
The idea of a fast, generic, pre-
packaged plate of food is a con-
cept foreign to native Italians.
In Italy, it would be difcult to
identify which foods would even
be popular from one region to
the next.
We have 20 regions that are
specialized in different foods
and are adamant about staying
different from the others, Bova
said. So wherever you go, you
taste a different plate. Its beauti-
ful because the nation is small.
The different regions of Italy
take pride in the different crops
they specialize in. The ingredi-
ents available locally have the
biggest sway over the foods that
make each region popular.
The sincerity of food is
important, Bova said. Geo-
graphically, Italy is a peninsula
tempered by the sea, and the cli-
mate is perfect for many types
of food, especially fruits and
vegetables.
Trevor Bevan served a mis-
sion for The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints in
Italy and recently returned from
a two-month trip there. Chang-
ing food cultures so dramati-
cally left him frustrated.
Its just different, Bevan
said. When youre in Italy,
youre selective about what you
eat. You dont order prosciutto
crudo unless its from Parma.
Every region has its specialty,
and anything less than that
has a hard time comparing to
it. American restaurants that
claim to be just as good as Italy
make me laugh. How can that be
when even the different regions
in Italy cant copy the original?
Gae Vanzo, an Italian lm-
maker from Gorizia, Italy,
couldnt agree more.
Italian cooking has a large
variety of traditions due to sev-
eral geographical and cultural
differences, Vanzo said. Its
a food that requires the use of
local ingredients to create deli-
cate and composite avors.
Finding local ingredients
to create those delicate avors
can prove to be a challenge in
the commercially-driven food
culture prevalent in the U.S.
Ernesto Lorusso moved to
Provo from Naples, Italy, in 1996
to study accounting at BYU. He
now owns Terra Mia in Orem
and is passionate about main-
taining an authentic avor for
his guests.
I take pride in my product,
Lorusso said. I know my pizza
could have more cheese, or have
a thicker crust, but I dont want
it to. I want to have an authen-
tic product. I like to eat it, and
I like people who have been to
Italy to say, Wow. Thats what
my goal is.
In order to keep up authentic-
ity, he pays what others might
call an uncomfortable price.
In order to have an authen-
tic product, we import our toma-
toes, Lorusso said. We import
our our; the mozzarella is made
fresh. It costs a lot more that
way.
There are elements of a restau-
rant that Lorusso believes are a
tell-tale sign to its authenticity.
The pasta should be al
dente, Lorusso said. That is
one thing that drives me crazy
the most, getting overcooked
pasta. The aroma, the smell in
the restaurant, tells you a lot.
When you have to smother your
dish in cheese, its not the way
we do it.
The most important thing to
Lorusso is the balance of the
avors: each element in the dish
should contribute to the avor
without any one ingredient
overpowering the others.
Americans often adopt Ital-
ian food ideas and cling to them,
like pasta Alfredo, a dish that
does not even exist in Italy, or
dipping bread into plates of
olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
In Italy, you will never nd
a place where you can dip your
bread in olive oil and balsamic
vinegar, Lorusso said. In fact,
theres a joke about a guy who
went there and found this plate
and lled it up with olive oil and
vinegar, and the waiter comes
up and says, Sir, why are you
doing that in the ashtray?
