Adventures of the ride board

BYU students tell stories about their experiences using

the ride board

B y K A R I C H R I S T E N S E N

The ride board on campus is an oppor-tunity for students to carpool wherever

they need to go, but these experiences are more than just simple road trips.

To help split the price of gas, students looking to either hitch a ride somewhere or fi nd more riders for their car go to the bottom fl oor of the Wilkinson Student Center to the ride board, or check the “Ride board” under “Tools” at universe.byu.edu. Blue slips of paper are for driv-ers looking for riders, and yellow are for people looking for rides.

Parker Cox, a neuroscience major from Colorado, has used the ride board several times and remembers an inter-esting experience he had.

“I was going to Idaho and got a ride

with an old grandma that had me drive the entire way there,” said Cox. “She picked me up in an old van, and brought along her dog that just laid there and ate its dog food the whole time. And then she had wheat grass growing in a box on the dashboard. At one point in the trip, she pulled a knife and I got a little freaked out. But then she just started cutting the wheat grass and offered me some saying I had to try it. I politely declined.”

Nicole Loumeau, a recent BYU gradu-ate, recounted awkward and funny sto-ries about her experiences with the ride board, which includes everything from four hours of silence, to a couple making

out in her back seat, to awkwardly get-ting asked out by one of the guys she was getting a ride from.

“Once there was a kid I got off the ride board when I was driving to Idaho, and we got up to Rexburg and I was drop-ping everyone off at their destination and he goes, ‘Oh I don’t know anyone here, I just wanted to see BYU-I. Can I stay with you?’”

Loumeau answered with a fi rm ‘no.’Awkward experiences are not the

only things students have gone through when using the ride board.

Utah colleges scramble to adjust to LDS mission changes

B y T A N N E R P E A R S O N

BYU isn’t the only university in Utah scrambling to assess the impacts of the recent change in the eligibility ages for LDS missionaries.

Utah State University, Southern Utah University and Utah Valley University all told The Universe they are preparing for change.

Utah System of Higher Education spokeswoman Pamela Silberman said Utah universities will definitely see changes in certain aspects of enrollment, housing and applications. “Right now, we’re playing the waiting game,” Silber-man said. “But, out of all the colleges, BYU will probably be hit the worst.”

Southern Utah University is concerned about having too much unused housing space but is grateful it downsized earlier this year when the largest housing com-plex was torn down for remodeling. To house the incoming students, a nearby hotel was rented out and now, with the

change in missionary age, SUU expects about 250 current students will not return next semester.

Stephen Allen, assistant vice president for enrollment, said the university most likely will not renew the lease on the hotel.

“We feel very fortunate,” Allen said. “This was perfect timing for us in terms of hous-ing.” Allen thinks the challenge may now be in understanding what older returning students want for a housing design since dormitories will no longer house only

freshman.Despite a decrease in enrollment, Allen

thinks there will be an increase in future retention and completion because of the caliber of returning students. “In the short term, there will be a larger impact,” Allen said. “But looking at it in the long run, we expect it to be a great thing for young men and women who return very focused.”

Circumstances are similar at Utah Valley University. Chris Taylor, associate vice president for university marketing and communications, said many students will come back more focused. “(Missions) tend to sharpen focus and dedication, and that can’t help but bleed into other areas of life,” Taylor said. Eighty percent of stu-dents at UVU are LDS, a number that is not expected to change in the long-run. Taylor said UVU’s main focus is on mak-ing things as seamless as possible for stu-dents needing to take an extended leave, since predicting specifi c effects of the age-change announcement is like a “moving target.”

Trapped in Provo: How the

holidays can still be holly

and jolly

B y M E G A N N O A C K

Cynthia Nadal has never made it home for Christmas during her three years at BYU, but that’s because f lights home to Cartegna, Spain, aren’t exactly the most affordable.

However, the early childhood education major has never allowed herself to get too lonely during the holiday weeks stranded in Provo. ”I am really good at entertain-ing myself,” Nadal said. “I either write stories, listen to music, play games. If not, I know there are sev-eral people in this ward staying for Christmas; we will probably get together at some point.”

Nadal spent last Christmas with the missionary who baptized some of her family members. This year she will spend Christmas Day with an old roommate and fill the rest of her time with work.

When asked what she missed most about Christmas home in Spain, Nadal said it was her grandma’s turkey meatballs. “She makes meatballs every Christmas, and then we play bingo and we sing Christmas carols in Spanish, Eng-lish and French. I will miss that and wrapping presents with my grandma.”

But aside from the problem of having to globe-trot home for the holidays, other students hunker down in Provo because it’s where their jobs are.

Ben Schultz was a freshman when he spent his first Christ-mas away from home. Required to stay and work at his off-campus job, Schultz was left in an empty, quiet dorm room. “I was in Hela-man Halls, and the worst part about it was over Christmas break even the Cannon Center closes, so I didn’t have any food. I had to pay for my own meals that two weeks,” Schultz said.

But Schultz’s bishopric made sure he wasn’t entirely on his own. Each night they arranged a place for him to go for dinner.

“It turned out to be one of the best Christmases I had,” Schultz recalled. “I lucked out. I had a fantastic bishop who made me feel loved.”

Schultz spent Christmas Day at his bishop’s home. “To my great astonishment, they got me a gift. I was just grateful to be in a place where I was loved, where I had food; I was very content with that,” Schultz said. “They went over and beyond. That was extremely mov-ing for me.”

Schultz said that act is some-thing he won’t forget.

Traditions: Christmas around the worldB y J O R D A N L E E

From barbeques on a beach to just an ordinary day, Christmas traditions all over the world can widely vary.

For New Zealander Luke Ball, Christmas is a time to enjoy the sun and catch some waves. December is summertime in New Zealand, which means instead of covering up from head to toe to avoid the cold, it’s a time to get a tan.

“Let me tell you how it’s done in NZ (New Zealand) at Christmas,” Ball said. “We wake up and open pressies (presents) with the fam-ily fi rst thing. Then we have a have a mean (good) barbecue out-side in the scorching sun. After that, we end up at the beach for some swimming and touch rugby. But the day isn’t complete without some goody-goody gumdrop ice cream. That’s a type of ice cream with these chewy lollies (candy) all through it.”

And the barbecue is loaded with a ton of delicious food.

“Normally some lamb, steaks and sausages,” Ball said. “Some-times we get the seafood out. New Zealand has got the biggest and best mussels in the world.”

It’s summertime in Brazil. Ani Nachtajler said summer plays a role in the foods they eat.

“A lot of fresh fruits, a turkey, ham, a variety of salads such as

potato salad, rice and cold des-serts,” Nachtajler said. “We also included some of the traditional Brazilian dishes into the menu such as Farofa, which is a made from manioc fl our. We fi rst eat later in the evening and gather the family at midnight for Papa-Noel’s arrival.”

Nachtajler and her family enjoy Christmas morning rabanada a version of French toast.

While presents under a Christ-mas tree seem like the default pic-ture of a Christmas morning, in Tonga there are no Christmas trees.

“People use trees but it’s noth-ing like the Christmas trees you have here.” said Noke Funaki.

“People just get whatever trees, coconut trees or whatever, but basically Christmas is a family day kind of thing,” Funaki said. “We don’t really do the presents in Tonga but it is a season of giving, so on the day of Christmas, every-one prepares their best meal and before they eat they share that meal with their neighbors.”

Traditional Christmas food in America is ham and mashed pota-toes, in Tonga, it consists of taro, yams, kumara (a type of sweet potato), chicken and, of course, a pig roasted on the spit.

For Korean student Jaeyong Park, the food at Christmas time is not holiday specifi c.

“Christmas is a holiday in Korea and it is pretty much same as here,” Park said. “All television

programs are focused on Christ-mas but tolerance of it has been shrinking too. My family doesn’t do many things on Christmas. I guess the reason is that my fam-ily doesn’t have Christian beliefs. My family usually has dinner together. There is no specifi c kind of food, but something we all can enjoy.”

There aren’t too many Chris-tians in Korea, but in Africa there are plenty.

Joy Sitawa grew up in Kenya and Tanzania and said, “Some denominations usually hold midnight mass on Christmas Eve where they sing and pray all night. On Christmas Day, every-one wakes up very early in the morning to start preparing the foods before they go to church. This is the time when even non-church goers go to church.”

Food rules the day in Africa.“Big meals are prepared,”

Sitawa said. “In most cases, this is the only time when even poor families can eat food that is usu-ally not affordable because of their little income. Common foods during this festival are chapati (fl at bread), Rice, pilau (spicy rice) fries, mashed pota-toes, cooked plantains, ugali, cakes and other delicacies. For meat, most families slaughter cows, sheep, goat and lots of chicken.”

Sitawa says that traveling throughout the country can be a problem as “most people leave the

cities they live in and head to the rural areas for the holiday.”

For Rachel Edwards of Eng-land, hearing the Queen’s annual Christmas Day speech is part of the tradition.

“Christmas crackers are part of the celebration,” Edwards said. “They don’t really represent any-thing as such but they are set out at the Christmas dinner table and have novelty toy and a weird

looking hat or crown inside. We always gather on Christmas Day at 3 p.m. to hear the Queen’s speech. The majority of the coun-try still does.”

While the day continues with its normal hustle and bustle in places like Korea, everything is closed in New Zealand.

“All the shops and everything close on Christmas,” said Ball. “It came from a need to make sure we

respect the Savior’s birth and I think it’s a great thing.”

While traditions worldwide may include food, family and fun, the Savior and His birth are always focal point of the holiday celebrations.

“The main focus of the day is family and Jesus Christ,” Ball said. “It is a time to serve each other and remember our blessings.”

US slams Israel on new settlement plan

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administra-tion on Monday harshly criticized its top Mideast ally, Israel, over new settlement construction plans in areas the Palestinians claim for a future state.

The State Department said the plans, notably one to begin preliminary work on an especially sensitive piece of land outside Jerusalem known as E1, are “especially damaging” to prospects for a resumption in Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and run counter to longstanding U.S. policy.

RIDESGetting home for the holidays can be a headache for some students

Continued from Page 1

Some students talked about accidents that they experienced on these road trips. Chris Udall, a music major from Ari-zona, talked about one such experience.

“We hit a deer coming back from Arizona during Thanksgiving break last year,” Udall said. “It was 9 at night when it happened, and there weren’t any street lights around, so the deer popped out of nowhere. We were lucky the deer didn’t come through the windshield because we were going pretty fast on the road. I decided that night that I will never take a road trip at nighttime ever again.”

But the ride board doesn’t always lead to awkward or scary moments. There are lots of stu-dents that have had positive experiences using the board. Marcel Kelenga, a student from central Africa, talked on his opinion of the ride board after using it several times.

“I’ve used the ride board sev-eral times and the experience depends on the people,” Kelenga said. “Sometimes it’s awkward, especially if you ride with young couples. Also, if you end up being the only guy in the car with a bunch of girls, then you get to hear all of their stories and what they think of guys. Or there’s the boring people that don’t talk, but for the most

part it’s p r e t t y funny. I have made a lot of friends through the ride board. Some are very close friends now and some I have even taken on dates.”

Brooke LeBaron, an adver-tising major from Arizona, talked about the experience she had driving home this past Thanksgiving break. Her car ended picked up one of the driver’s grandmas part way through the road trip. LeBaron talked about how fun and enter-taining “Grandma Doe” made the trip.

“She was sassy, demanding, and in every way, hilarious,” LeBaron said. “Oh, did I men-tion we also brought along her two wiener dogs? We pulled up

to her house to pick Grandma up, and within 30 seconds I had been kicked out of shotgun and into the middle back seat. She gave us advice on everything from how to drive, to how to get mar-ried and kept on feeding us. It seemed like we were constantly laughing. I can’t tell you the number of times she exclaimed, ‘Oh my cow,’ or called some-thing or someone a ‘whatchya -ma-doodle.’ Like grandmas do, Grandma Doe was constantly looking after us.”

Whether or not a ride board experience leads to an awkward date, a funny story or just a nor-mal road trip, it’s a convenient way to save money and meet new people, and is a tool for students.

TRAPPEDThere’s no place like Provo for the Holidays


Ratna Lingam, fi rst coun-selor in BYU’s 250th ward, said looking after ward members is one of the responsibilities of being in a BYU bishopric.

“As a bishopric we realize that it is our stewardship to see that these students have a place where they can spend the holi-days with a host family locally or be invited for at least a spe-cial Christmas meal,” Lingam said.

And just because students are stuck in Provo, it does not mean there aren’t activities available to bring Christmas cheer.

“In Utah, there are a num-ber of fun places to visit during the Christmas holidays, which

include a visit to Temple Square and Thanksgiving Point in Lehi to see the Christmas lights, just to list a few,” Lingam said. “Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, which allows us to refl ect on our Savior’s birth and spend special time with our families and friends.”

So, even though campus might be empty, the traffic cleared and apartments quiet, with the outreach of church leaders, family and friends stu-dents can still have a merry Christmas in Provo.

COLLEGESMission age change causes college chaos


He said he is confi dent UVU has the infrastructure to achieve this goal through its current Leave- of-Absence program for enrolled students.

“Students who formally defer admission or fi le for a leave of absence have the benefi t of hold-ing their scholarships until they return,” Taylor said. “We are encouraging (future students) to apply and be admitted now, even if they won’t formally commence their studies for several years.” Taylor believes this will make for

a more seamless transition when they return.

UVU is also encouraging female students recently graduated from high school to still get a year of col-lege behind them before leaving.

Shortly after LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson announced young men would be eligible for missionary service at age 18 instead of 19, and young women at 19 instead of 21, BYU released a statement saying it expected changes in areas such as housing and enrollment but would not be sure of specifi c effects until more data about how students and prospective students is available.

University spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said BYU is excited about the announcement and how it will affect the campus. “We are confi -dent we can handle any issues that arise,” Jenkins said. “We have the

people and the programs already in place to deal with the situation.”

Jenkins said other universities announced programs for enroll-ment and scholarship deferments in response to the missionary age change, but since BYU is accus-tomed to a large number of stu-dents leaving and returning from missions, it already has these programs in place for prospec-tive missionaries and students. Block schedules are also already available for missionaries, as well as the spring and summer terms that allow students to have access to BYU education all year.

So although BYU has the high-est number of students among Utah schools who are members of the LDS Church, it is confi dent it will be able to continue to provide all of its students with a continued high-level educational experience.


As most students head home for the holidays, stdents staying in Provo make Holiday plans.

Facebook copyright status hoax

B y M i a G a B r i e l

On Monday morning, Rebecca Spear, following in the footsteps of her friends, set her Facebook status with what appeared to be a statement declaring copyright over her account.

“I wasn’t going to pay it any attention until my mom posted it,” said Spears, a senior study-ing English from Tucson, Ariz. “She doesn’t post silly forwards so when I saw it on her page I thought it might have some validity.”

Over the past few days, Face-book homepages were overrun with legal-type posts declaring ownership and copyright. The status read:

In response to the new Facebook guidelines, I hereby declare that my copyright is attached to all of my personal details, photos and videos, etc. (as a result of the Ber-ner Convention). For commercial use of the above my written consent is needed at all times.

By this present communique, I notify Facebook that it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distrib-ute, disseminate, or take any other action against me on the basis of this profile and/or its contents. The aforementioned prohibited actions also apply to employees, students, agents and/or any staff under Facebook’s direction or control. The content of this profile is private and confidential information. The violation of my privacy is punish-able by law (UCC 1 1-308-308 1-103 and the Rome Statute).

Facebook is now an open capi-tal entity. All members are recom-mended to publish a notice like this, or if you prefer, you may copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once, you will be tacitly allowing the use of elements such as your photos as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.

Jenni Bohning, a recent grad-uate of BYU law school from

Kennesaw, Ga., stated that she could not understand why people would get their legal advice from chain letters.

“Facebook doesn’t own your pictures. You do,” Bohning said. “When you created your account with Facebook, you agreed to let Facebook use and distribute your posts according to the pri-vacy settings you choose. People cannot retroactively and unilat-erally change their privacy and copyright terms. That’s not how a licensing agreement, or any kind of contract, works.”

Snopes.com, a reference site dedicated to checking rumors, etc., quoted an issued statement by Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes, reiterating what Bohning said.

“When you post things, like photos to Facebook, we do not own them,” Noyes said. “Under our terms, you grant Facebook permission to use, distribute, and share the things you post, subject to the terms and applicable pri-vacy settings.”

The copyright concerns stemmed from a Facebook announcement proposing to amend and alter its privacy pol-icy, in actuality affecting users’ Facebook voting rights, not the copyright of their content. The copyright terms of Facebook remain the same as the terms users agree to when they sign up for the site.

“If people want more informa-tion on what they’ve agreed to,” Bohning said. “They can see all of their terms and conditions at facebook.com/legal/terms. In short, the only thing that can really protect you on social media is you — by ensuring that you don’t post things that you would prefer to stay private.”

In November, Facebook issued a statement amid the copyright rumors, saying that all users own and control their posted contents. For more information regarding Facebook’s policies, visit www.facebook.com/policies.

Called to Serve: Returned missionaries offer advice to future missionaries

B y a M y H a r r i s o n

Jaws dropped, phones rang and excitement ensued when President Thomas S. Monson made the historic announce-ment lowering the minimum age requirement for LDS missionaries.

According to the Deseret News, more than 7,000 LDS applicants started mission papers within two weeks from the time President Monson announced the age change. Now these young men and young women are gearing up for “the best two years” (or 18 months) of their lives. BYU stu-dents who have already served their missions share advice with those preparing to go.

Daniel Rellaford, from American Fork, served in the Madagascar Antanarivo Mis-sion and has been home for about one year. Rellaford now works as a teacher in the MTC, and said missionaries will be in the MTC for a shortened period of time in the new MTC program, so they need to pre-pare before they arrive.

“With the new missionary system, the missionaries going English speaking are going to be in the MTC for 12 days,” Rel-laford said. “The time to learn the doctrine is already passed by the time they get to the MTC. It’s really important to read and know ‘Preach My Gos-pel’ and The Book of Mormon.”

Tiffani Mohrman, from Pay-son, served in the Uruguay Montevideo Mission. She said missionaries must not only know the doctrine, but they must know how to explain it.

“Learn as much as you can about the Book of Mormon and the principles in chap-ter three of ‘Preach My Gos-pel,’” Mohrman said. “Know them so when people ask you a question, you can say more than that you believe the prin-ciples, but you (can’t) explain them. I know that’s something you learn on the mission, but having a solid foundation on the doctrines of the scriptures will help a lot.”

Remember you can make mistakes

Mohrman, who has been home for about two years, said one thing she wished she knew was that she did not have to be a perfect missionary.

“I wish I knew I (could) make mistakes,” Mohrman said. “The mission is not an event you have to perform at. It’s like a school and you’ll have good days and bad days, and you’ll make mistakes. If you treat it as a school instead of a produc-tion, you’ll learn from it and you’ll improve step by step as you should.”

Be humbleBrian Fernandez, 24, from

Medford, Ore. served in the Argentina Cordoba Mission. He said from personal experi-ence that humility is essential to have and understand on a mission.

“Humility is something I felt I had, but I realized that I didn’t have,” Fernandez said. “I feel humility is easy to get into our head, but it is a little bit harder to get into our heart. I felt like I knew The Book of Mor-mon backwards and forwards before my mission. I thought I was the coolest ever because of that, but it was a hindrance to me in the MTC and in the

mission.”Hayley Hsieh, from Taipei,

Taiwan, who served her mis-sion in the New York New York South Mission, said humil-ity also helps in challenges like dealing with difficult companions.

“Strip yourself of pride before you go on a mission,” Hsieh said. “You need to remember your companion is not perfect, but neither are you. Strive to see them through the eyes of God and pray for patience.”

Trust in the LordHsieh, who is also a convert

to the Church, said she chose to serve a mission because she wanted to provide the same opportunities to others that the missionaries provided to her family. However, she said as she prepared to go, she expe-rienced many challenges and trials, but learned to trust in the Lord. Hsieh advised future

missionaries to rely on the Lord despite temptations and challenges.

“You will have a lot of chal-lenges before you go,” Hsieh said. “Satan does not want you to go on a mission. I had to go to the hospital before I left because of a serious infection in my mouth after I got my wis-dom teeth pulled. The medical bills got really expensive, but I knew I still needed to serve a mission.”

Mohrman, who has been home about two years, said those preparing to serve must have a personal answer from the Lord and continue to trust Him throughout their entire mission.

“When you received that answer from God to go on a mission, which I think you need to have, you should write it down and keep it with you, so you can remember that throughout the hard times,” Mohrman said.

Richard Wilkins, BYU law professor and actor, dies

B y T A Y L O R S T R E E T

Richard Wilkins, an emeri-tus BYU law professor and Utah community theater figure, passed away Monday night at Utah Regional Medical Center in Provo. He was 59.

Wilkins collapsed Friday

morning and remained on life support until Monday night. His cause of death is currently unknown.

“His loss is incredible. His death was totally unexpected and stunning,” fellow BYU law professor Lynn Wardle said. “He was such a talented legal research and writer. It will be hard to fi ll the hole that his

passing creates.”Wilkins was also an actor

who played the role of Ebe-neezer Scrooge for more than a generation at the Hale Centre Theatre in West Valley City.

Sally Dietlein, an executive producer at Hale Centre and a close friend to Wilkins, said he had a love and appreciation for Charles Dickens and his mes-sage portrayed by “A Christ-mas Carol.”

“Richard is known world-wide for fi ghting for family and children,” Dietlen said. “You could tell when he went on stage playing Scrooge that he was always there 100 per-cent and wanted to stay true to Dickens’ message. He was very playful on stage, almost child-like — it was a beautiful thing to watch.”

Wilkins graduated from the J. Reuben Clark Law School in 1979 and went on to work as the United States Assistant Solici-tor General during the 1980s, during which time he wrote many Supreme Court briefs and argued several cases before the high court.

Wilkins was known as a champion of high moral stan-dards and family values and worked extensively to guard the family unit, both nationally and internationally. He drafted legislation limiting abortion that was passed in Utah in the early 1990s, worked with the United Nations to develop policies that would support the family unit across the world and also served as managing director of the Doha Interna-tional Institute for Family Studies and Development in Qatar for seven years.

“He was very interested in protecting the family unit,” Wardle said. “He was very involved in international orga-nizations and implementing

policies that would help sup-port families.”

Because of Wilkins’ staunch defense of the family, he gar-nered some unpopularity from feminist and gay rights sup-porters, but according to War-dle, was still highly respected.

“I think most of his students admired him and admired his mind,” Wardle said. “He had a brilliant mind. … There was always a large number of stu-dents that wanted to learn from him and hoped to get the rare opportunity to work with him.”

Wilkins’ passion and integ-rity on and off the stage was apparent to those who knew him at the theater and BYU.

“He was deeply admired by many students and faculty,” Wardle said. “He leaves a great legacy.”

Reading daysTo play or to study — That is the question

B y V A L E R I A C H A O

Thursday is the last day of classes, leaving Friday as a reading day. The end is near and going home for the holidays is just a week away, but stress levels are running high as fi nals week approaches.

Reading days can be seen as a much needed time for relax-ation before the fi nal storm, or a time for vigorous studying and all-nighters. Some chose the first option, and some chose the latter.

Elise Meiners, a junior majoring in exercise science, prepares for her finals by using reading days to recoup. She said that it can be very benefi cial to her health.

“Even if reading days aren’t used for studying, I think they are effective just to have a lit-tle breathing room,” Meiners said. “If fi nals started right out of classes, I think a major-ity of students would suffer from heart failures.”

Meiners loves the freedom of reading days and is fi lling her reading days with fun, food and friends. She is excited to unwind before she hits the books.

“I might do a little bit of

studying and go to a review or two, but I will most likely be Christmas partying at Tuca-nos, winning insane prizes, herding white elephants, eat-ing, sleeping and dance party-ing,” Meiners said.

On the other hand, Jaymie Fung, a junior majoring in accounting, will not be out relaxing and hanging out with friends.

“I will defi nitely be using reading days to study this year,” Fung said. “I need them. I’ll probably study for most of the day. Accounting classes are killer.”

Fung thinks that reading days are effective depending on how they are utilized.

“I think that reading days, if utilized correctly, can be an amazing opportunity for students,” Fung said. “I think that most people know that it is useful, but it’s up to them to make it useful and effective.”

Rachelle Snow, a senior majoring in dance, said she does not like to study on read-ing days unless she has a scheduled test on the fi rst day of fi nals.

“Reading days are my days to rest before test week,” Snow said. “Also a lot of the time, it is the last time you get to hang out with your friends before they all leave for the break.”

Students have the freedom to decide on how to spend their reading days, whether they are used for fun, relaxation or studying. Everyone has a different way of preparing for fi nals week.

Clothing company with a mission

B y M I A G A B R I E L

For the past two years, Mat-thew Heinemeyer and Danian Rios have worked hard to show how T-shirts can make a differ-ence in the world.

Arm the Animal is a chari-table clothing company con-ceived by Matthew Heinemeyer

following the sudden passing of his older sister, Karen, in 2009.

Arm the Animals creates clothing and accessories that not only raise awareness for animal welfare, but it also donates to small, struggling animal rescues. A generous amount of proceeds go not only to partnering shelters but also to other organizations aimed at animal rescue and welfare.

Karen helped raise Heine-meyer and taught him the special dynamics that happen between animals and humans.

“She was always there to help me out in every way, shape and form,” Heinemeyer said. “I had always wanted to do something truly special for her, but never got the chance. Her passing impacted me greatly and after going through this event, I ded-icated myself to finding a way to commemorate her. I did not know exactly how I was going to

do it, but after months of brain-storming, the idea for Arm The Animals came to me.”

Heinemeyer, along with his friend Danian Rios, started Arm the Animals out of their apartment at the beginning of 2011.

“We were both completely broke the night Matt told me about the idea,” Rios said, “but I had about $40 left on my Amex, so I tossed it to him and told him to buy the URL. It all started there. We contacted our CFO Rigo Diaz and he backed us in getting our f irst shirts printed.”

Rigo Diaz, the CFO of Arm the Ani-ma ls, said one of the main draws of join-ing Heinemeyer and Rios, was the passion they exhibited for the cause and for making a difference.

“They work tirelessly to get the word out about what these shelters are doing, while con-tinuing to come up with cool designs that will get a larger audience to pay attention,” Diaz said. “It’s not easy, but they love it!”

According to the mission statement located on the Arm the Animals website, four mil-lion to five million animals are euthanized every year due to animal owners not providing basic care for their pets.

“It’s no longer an option to spay, neuter, feed, water and love your pets — it’s manda-tory!” the statement said. “If you make the decision to own an animal, you should at least have the heart to make sure they are healthy and cared for! I think we can all agree on that.”

Many of the shelters that Arm the Animals helps are smaller operations. Their

contributions have helped these shelters buy months of supplies of food and medi-cal care for critically injured animals.

One of the company’s long-term goals, Rios said, is to say they have donated one million dollars to animal rescues and shelters, as well as possibly start their own rescue.

“Our long-term goals for t h i s c om -pany are big!” H e i n e m e y e r said. “Based solely upon the success we enc ou nt er e d thus far and the responses we receive from custom-ers across the planet, we feel that we can become a good-sized cloth-

ing and apparel company. We believe in our mission and in our products greatly and so far, so do a large number of people.”

The large number of people believing in the mission of Arm the Animals includes actors Travis Wade, Ashley Greene and Shannon Elizabeth and musician Zac Brown, to name a few.

“The one thing we want peo-ple to know is that we truly do care about our mission,” Heine-meyer said, “and that we truly do support our charitable part-ners. From day one it’s been about the charitable mission.”

Heinemeyer hopes that exposure to Arm the Ani-mals will generate charitable involvement in society. Arm the Animals have created a promotional code especially for BYU students. Should they decide to purchase from the website, they can use the promo code ATABYU20 to receive 20 percent off their entire purchase.

BYU Bookstore’s Christmas gift is literacy to childrenBYU Bookstore and the United Way of Utah County team up for the third year in a row to donate books to children and young adults

B y T A N N E R P E A R S O N

BYU Bookstore partnered with United Way’s Christ-mas Literacy Giving Tree in November to donate books to children 18-months to 16 years old in an effort t o spr e ad the “gift of literacy.”

United Way has worked with the BYU B o o k s t o r e every Christ-mas season for the last three years. A c c o r d i n g to a press r e l e a s e , donated books wil l go to Utah County Sub for Santa program, the Utah County Angel Tree Program or the Utah County Everyday Learners Program. Donations will be open until Dec. 15.

Giving Tree drop boxes are at each bookstore checkout stand

Hillary Millecam, the Bookstore’s marketing spe-cialist, said it is important students participate because it is a good way to help chil-dren improve their standard of living. “If anybody needs help from us, I believe it’s children,” Millecam said. “If we help them now, we can give them a fair and equal chance

to succeed academically by giving them the gift of literacy and reading.“

In previous years, students, faculty or visitors could only purchase a book from the Giv-ing Tree to participate. This year anyone can also donate

a dollar to United Way to help buy new books for donation. M i l l e c a m said it’s an easy way for students to be involved in a cause that she feels obli-gated to be a part of.

“I think that as stu-d e nt s we s o m e t i m e s forget how much support we get from ot her s t o help us suc-ceed in our e duc at ion ,”

she said. “We have been given the opportunity to get an education and learn so we can improve our living con-ditions, and I feel obligated to help the next generation receive the same learning opportunities.”

Yulee Smith, who also works as a marketing special-ist at the Bookstore, said this year gives students an easier way to donate. “Now students can make a huge difference without having to gauge their pocketbooks,” Smith said. “It’s a great opportunity to give back.”

Giving Tree Drop boxes are set next to each cashier desk in the Bookstore. Smith hopengby making it easier for

people to donate, the Book-store will see an increase in participation from the last few years.

BYU sets world record for charity

B y S T E P H A N I E G R A F F

The World’s Largest Cou-gar Tail event on Nov. 28 was a major success as students, fac-ulty and the public all partici-pated to help BYU set a world record while donating money to the Food Bank.

Five-inch pieces of the 1,400-foot donut were sold for a dollar each, and for each dollar Com-munity Action Services and Food Bank donated 17 pounds of food to the needy. The goal was to raise $3,000, which would amount to over 55,000 pounds of food donated to the Food Bank. The Alumni Association is still waiting for cor-porate dona-tions, although it is already clear that the goal has been surpassed.

D o o r s opened at 8 a.m., and by 11 a.m. the donut was half gone. The original goal was to cre-ate a quarter-mile long donut and BYU Dining Services added an extra 100 feet. By the end of the day only 120 pieces remained uneaten, although all had been paid for.

Ellie Ott is the programs vice president over traditions for the Student Alumni Association and was pleased with the turn-out for the event.

“We opened our doors at eight this morning and have been really pleased with the turn-out,” Ott said. “We came up with the idea for this last year, and there’s been a great response.”

There is currently no world record for the world’s longest donut but BYU is submitting their application to Guiness to set the record.

Adam Durfee was the project

manager and was in charge of the promotions for the event.

“It started as a project for one of my classes,” Durfee said. “My whole class got behind it, and we partnered with BYU Dining Services and the Alumni Asso-ciation to make it happen. The Student Alumni Association had already been thinking of doing something like this, so with our team of 30 people it really took off.”

BYU Dining Services, the Alumni Association and count-less students all played major roles in making the event a success.

Maddie Simon is a freshman from Murray majoring in busi-ness management and works at

the BYU Culi-nary Support Center.

“All of the cougar tails are made and frosted by hand,” Simon said. “(For this event), we started mak-ing the tail at 2 p.m. yester-day and went through the

night. It took at least 10 or 11 hours.”

The event drew attention from news sources around the state. Fox 13 news was on loca-tion to cover the event live. The event also had a major presence in multiple social media outlets in the weeks leading up to the event, includ-ing its own YouTube channel, CougarTailFilms.

Colin Rivera, from the band The Lovecapades, was also pres-ent to provide entertainment for the event.

“It’s an awesome cause,” Rivera said. “It’s obviously been a lot of people coming together and caring about the same issue and donating their time, money and talents.”

BYU ROTC grad is Army infantry commandantB y K e l l y H a i g H T

Kelly Haight is a sports editor for The Universe and is writing about her father.

Colonel David B. Haight, who was recently appointed as the Commandant of the U.S. Army Infantry schools at Ft. Benning, Georgia, began his military career with the BYU Army ROTC.

Haight, a distant relative to LDS apostle David B. Haight who died in 2004, met life long fiends while at BYU.

. One of his fellow ROTC cadets, Frank Montoya has been a friend of Haight’s since they were fresh-men more than 30 years ago. Montoya, who is now a national counterintelligence executive

special agent, calls Haight “one of the best men I have ever known.”

“I could tell that first day he was a natural leader,” Montoya said. “Leaders are not born, but some people just have a gift when it comes to inspiring, motivating and leading. (Haight) is one of those people. I realized then that aspiring to be like him, and those like him, would take me far in life. It has.”

Haight, a three-time Bronze Star recipient, has been a warrior and student in the Army his entire career. He graduated from Air-borne School and Ranger School. He went through the Infantry Offi-cer basic and advanced courses, earned his Expert Infantryman’s Badge and received master’s degrees from the U.S. Naval Com-mand in National Security and Strategic Studies and from the

Staff College and the U.S. Army War College in Strategic Studies.

From December 2008 to Decem-ber 2009, Haight led the entire 3rd Brigade Combat Team, “Spartan Brigade,” of the 10th Mountain Division in Afghanistan in Opera-tion Enduring Freedom.

His brigade fought in many of the most dangerous places in Afghanistan, expelling Taliban resistance from the area.

“I am most proud of the facts that my Army allowed me to com-mand on many occasions some of nation’s finest infantry units in combat,” Haight said. “And finally taking Wardak and Logar prov-inces from the Taliban and giving them back to the Afghan people.”

Haight, a highly decorated offi-cer, is not the lone soldier in his family. His father, the late Price Haight, retired as a lieutenant col-onel from the artillery branch in the Army after serving in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

“As the child of a career Army officer, I was interested in joining the Army,” Haight said. “As a kid, it was observing the little things — seeing the MP salute the car as we drove through the gates at Ft. Belvoir, seeing the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington, seeing the Spirit of ’76 presentation, mili-tary bands and parades — all were interesting to me.”

All of Haight’s brothers followed in their father’s footsteps, serving in various braches of the armed forces during many of the nation’s conflicts. The family’s next gener-ation seems determined to do the same. Haight’s son, David Jr., has served two tours to Afghanistan with the 1st Ranger Battalion.

Haight’s wife, Bonnie, said she often hears others say, “He is a sol-dier’s soldier.”

“He is a warrior, loves his fam-ily and country and would die for them,” Bonnie Haight said.

Col. Haight said he chose the Infantry because of his competi-tive nature. “I thought that if I’m going to do this, I want to serve at the very tip of the spear.”

Haight said his greatest

sacrifice has been being apart from his family.

“I think the worst one was hav-ing to call my wife from Baghdad on our 20th anniversary and tell her, ‘Happy anniversary, but this isn’t the way I would have planned it,’ while enemy tracer rounds flew through the night,” Haight said.

Montoya said Haight’s sacri-fices have helped pull our country through past and current conflicts.

“The last decade has been among the toughest in our nation’s history,” Montoya said. “Men like (Haight), their many sacrifices, their technical and tactical com-petence and their love of country have seen us through the times stronger than ever. We all owe him a tremendous debt.”

Haight has commanded troops as he served as a rifle platoon

leader, executive officer, liaison officer and operations officer at the company and battalion level. He has commanded two compa-nies, two battalions and a combat brigade.

Col. Matt McFarlane has served with Haight several times during their careers and attributes much of Haight’s success to his ability to communicate and mentor.

“He has a unique ability to com-municate very well with all ranks, from private to general,” McFar-lane said.

McFarlane said Haight can translate highly complex mat-ters to a simple explanation and over the years has become a more strategic leader who empowers his soldiers.

“As he leads larger and larger organizations, this ability enables him to articulate a purpose and intent better than anyone I have seen in the Army,” McFarlane said.

Haight’s ability to lead soldiers into battle has been key in his sol-diers’ success and has garnered him respect and loyalty through-out the ranks.

He fought in Honduras and Pan-ama in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, and since 9/11 he has led battalions and a brigade in Iraq and Afghani-stan on combat missions and spe-cial operation missions.

His first post-9/11 deployment was to Iraq with the 2nd Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division from March 2003 to January 2004. From there he took command of and led the 2nd Ranger Battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment on several combat tours to Iraq and Afghani-stan from 2004 to 2006.

McFarlane served with Haight through several of these deploy-ments and in the process captured Muhammad Khalif Shakara, the number-two Al Qaeda terrorist in Iraq.

“He led a task force very well by empowering all those in the unit to be innovative and work together to identify, target and capture a very violent and dangerous man,”

McFarlane said. Success does not come without

a cost in war. One of the most dif-ficult trials of being a leader is los-ing soldiers in battle.

“I tried to make all my soldiers understand that they were a cru-cial member of a very important and high-performing team,” Haight said. “While accomplish-ing the mission, I brought home safely as many as I could. And for those KIA, I tried to make it matter each day and honor them by never forgetting them, taking care of their families and winning on the battlefield for them.”

After Haight relinquished bri-gade command in 2010, he served at the highest level of the Armed Forces when he became the Execu-tive Assistant to Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen at the Pentagon. He then went on to become Deputy Director of the Afghanistan-Paki-stan Coordination Cell before tak-ing his Commandant position over the Infantry Schools, a brigadier general billet.

“His professionalism and experience-based knowledge was sought out by the highest levels of the Department of Defense as they created policy that impacts our National Security establish-ment today,” McFarlane said. “He was selected to lead the Infantry Branch and ensure the largest combat branch in the Army; he captures all of the lessons learned over the last decade of war and incorporates those lessons into doctrine and development of the force .”

Based on former Infantry School Commandants, Haight is on his way to pinning on a star and joining the small handful of BYU Army ROTC graduates who have reached the rank of a general officer.

Fighting SIDS with BYU students’ invention

B y B R O O K E W E E N I G

BYU invention monitors infant’s breathing and heart rate to ease parents’ minds as their baby sleeps at night. The goal of the invention was to reduce the annual cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), a syndrome affecting around 2,500 babies in the United States every year.

A team of BYU student-innovators worked together to create a wireless baby monitor that straps around an infant’s foot (like a sock) and monitors both the heartrate and blood-oxygen levels of the baby. Similar technology is used in hospitals to monitor patients in critical conditions.

The invention notifi es parents by sending a mes-sage to their smartphone if the infant stops breathing or has signifi cant changes in heart rate. Kurt Work-man, one of the innovators of the idea, said he was motivated to create the product idea after a cousin died of SIDS.

“Innovation can lots of times be really simple changes, using technology that already exists and making it better,” Workman said. “Our device is superior because it gets to the heart of the problem.”

The team is anxious to see the difference that the invention could have on various people’s lives. The team included BYU innovators Jacob Colvin, Euro-pean studies major, chemical engineering majors Kurt Workman and Anna Hawes, mechanical engi-neering majors Jason Dearden and Wyatt Felt, and University of Utah nurse, Tanor Hodges. Jacob Colvin is the father of two children and brought a unique per-spective to the project.

“This was a team effort,” Colvin said. “It really wasn’t just one person who did it. We worked together to achieve what we did.”

The team started pitching the idea at the Big Idea competition, and after it was well received, they started entering as many competitions as they could. The Owlet Baby Monitor, the name of the prototype, was fi rst debuted at the third-annual BYU Student Innovator of the Year competition this year, where the team of BYU students took fi rst place and a $6,000 cash prize. Justin Zsiros, faculty member over the compe-tition, said that the product is likely to be a success because it uses technology that is already in hospitals and has been proven to work.

“The number of people it can affect is huge,” Zsiros said. “That is a huge advantage of their product. It has the potential to greatly benefi t society.”

The competition included 39 different teams and was sponsored by BYU college of engineering and the BYU Venture Factor Club. The competition offered grants to students in order to create a prototype of an invention and be judged on that prototype.

“With competition, the goal is the clear com-munication of the idea,” Workman said. “I was surprised that we won because there were a lot of good ideas. It is more than the money and more than the prizes, it was about the valida-tion. It makes us motivated to keep going and make it happen.”

The winners now have the option to compete in the Social Venture Competition or the 2013 Miller New Venture Challenge through the BYU Marriott School of Business. To find out more about the invention and follow its progress, visit owletcare.com.

There is an interesting trend overtaking na-tions across the world when it comes to foreign policy and immigration laws. While America has decreased its immigration flow, other coun-tries across the world have increased the num-ber of people they receive into their countries.

Since the founding of our nation, the United States has proudly been known as the great melting pot. If you ask someone what their an-cestry is in the United States, you will get an-swers ranging from China to Latin America.

When I started to travel abroad I was sur-prised to find that the United States was not unique in its melting pot ideology. It made sense to me that a country like Israel would have a large amount of immigrants with its vast cul-tural history. However, I was surprised to find that a country like Ukraine has many immigrants from all over the world, even some surprisingly from Latin America.

Over the past decade other coun-tries across the world have been transforming themselves into immi-grant societies. While America has in the past prided itself on being an im-migrant nation, it is no longer the ex-ception. Both Canada and Australia have a higher percentage of foreign-born people compared to the United States.

Due to our closed-border policies, it has become increasingly hard for for-eigners to gain citizenship or a visa for entrance into the United States.

This trend is affecting everything from jobs to missionary service in the Church. Towards the end of my time in the Missionary Training Center, we had a group of native Russians come in for their regular four-week training cycle before they were sent to their perspective mis-sions. While this is a regular occurrence at the MTC, there was one difference with this group. One of the sister missionaries was not able to make it into the country due to her guest visa being denied. As a result, her assigned compan-ion was left without a companion and then re-assigned to my companion and me for her four weeks in America. This situation turned out to be a bit complicated as she spoke little to no Eng-lish and we spoke little to no Russian.

Recently I learned that due to the increasing complications with visas, and the limited space at the Provo Missionary Training Center, all Russian native missionaries have been moved to the Spain MTC, since it is easier to get a visa into that country.

While I understand the need to regulate the laws surrounding immigration in the United States, I sometimes wonder if we have gone a

bit too far. Are our increasingly closed border polices a detriment to America or are they help-ing us to grow?

Growing up I lived in a town that was just un-der 40 percent Hispanic; granted, many in this population were illegal immigrants because they could not get citizenship in the United States. In Wenatchee, Wash., my hometown, a large portion of our jobs come from orchard workers picking the generous amount of fruit surrounding the great Wenatchee area. Many of these workers are legal or illegal immigrants from Mexico that have come to the area to try and build a better life for their families. The fruit industry in Washington depends on these workers.

Other countri President Dieter F.

Uchtdorf and es take in foreign im-migrants based on skills in order to boost their economy. In many Euro-pean countries, due to the training of foreign immigrants, they have been able to increase their economy through hiring people with doctoral training in science-related fields.

I was surprised to hear a report the other day that foreign students in the United States receive at least half of the doctoral degrees in science-relat-ed fields, and then almost all of them head back to their native countries

after graduation.Are we doing ourselves a disservice by train-

ing these foreigners and then sending them back home to competing countries once they finish their degrees? I’m not sure I have a clear answer to this question, but I do know that through my travels abroad I have seen other countries will-ing accept immigrants and by doing so increase their economic growth.

One of the main topics on people’s minds right now when it comes to the United States is our economy. With how much the United States is struggling right now, I think it is important to look at issues such as immigration in order to decide whether or not our policies are hindering or helping our economic growth. Only through this growth can we continue to be the great na-tion that our forefathers worked to create.

The last thing I said to Daniel, my 15-year-old brother, before I headed back to Provo after Thanksgiving was, “Look up midnight showing tickets for ‘The Hobbit!’”

“The Hobbit” was the first novel I really read when I was kid. I felt like I had gradu-ated from childhood when I realized that my eyes weren’t glazing over as I read and I was actually following the plot. It has since held a special place in my heart.

But don’t get me wrong. I’m not one of those who won’t see a movie adaptation of a beloved book. I’m stoked for the movie—oh wait, mov-ies because this 288- (give or take) page book is going to be portrayed by Peter Jackson di-vided into three different movies.

For us this means three different movie tickets, three different DVDs and three times the money than if this trend hadn’t been set yet and we were just getting one movie. It also means three times the Martin Free-man, but that is beside the point.

The trend of making multiple movies for a single book started back in March 2008 when it was announced that the seventh Harry Potter book was going to be divided into two movies. This was obvious-ly an attempt to squeeze as much money as possible from what is cur-rently the highest grossing film franchise to date.

About two years later, it was announced that the final book in the “Twilight” series was also going to be split into two films.

Because these two franchises were both ex-tremely popular and had such huge success, I didn’t think that this was going to become a recurring thing.

So when the news broke this summer that Jackson’s production of “The Hobbit” was going to be divided into not two, but three movies I had to give an exasperated sigh of acceptance.

I think this is going to be the way it is from now on. The next time someone decides to make a popular book into a movie, my guess is that we can expect several films.

But underneath my annoyance is a seri-ously stoked fan girl. I’m getting at least six hours of “The Hobbit,” people! And provided Jackson does well, this could be the greatest thing ever for a fan of the “Lord of the Rings” prequel.

Does that mean Jackson will be 100 percent true to the book? Probably not. The decision to divide “The Deathly Hollows” did not, like a lot of us hoped, mean that the direc-tor would be more true to the book. Artistic

liberty was taken with Hermione and Ron’s long-awaited kiss and that weird moment when Voldemort dissolved to death, just to name a few discrepancies.

Directors are going to change things from books in order to put their own mark on their film adaptations. This is how it has been since the dawn of time and it probably always will be.

The plus side is that with longer screen time to work with, directors won’t have to cut entire scenes and subplots to keep the movie a reasonable length.

The most important thing, however, is that we get more movie time with our favorite fic-tional characters.

After all, getting an eighth Harry Potter movie was a bonus for those of us who are obsessed with the books. We got the chance to put off the inevitable end of our childhood for one more year. I’m sure fans of Twilight felt the same way about “Breaking Dawn.”

It kind of makes you wish that they started doing this back when “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” was being directed. It’s prob-ably best that they didn’t though. Can you imagine how old Daniel Radcliffe would be by the time they got around to filming “The Deathly Hollows”?

While this new trend in movie production can easily be seen as overkill, we may as well take the good with the bad.

Once I had a good eye roll after reading the announcement about “The Hobbit” films, I acknowledged to myself that I would probably still go see all of them in theaters, and most likely during their midnight showings.

And, heck, maybe this means someone can finally do “The Count of Monte Cristo” cor-rectly. (I’m looking at you, Christopher No-lan.)

Oh, and brother dear: you still haven’t sent me information about tickets for “An Unex-pected Journey.” You should probably get on that if you want me to drive you.

Andrew Davis If artists created actual clean versions of their songs, I wouldn’t have to download some third party’s edit. I’m not going to pay the artist to let me do their work for them.

Living on $1 a dayWhenever I see a sign

on campus for free pizza or go to ward activities where food is provided, I think about how much my food bill is going to go up when I am no longer in col-lege where I have copious amounts of free food read-ily available to me.

Something that has been-reiterated to me many times in my classes this year is that over 865 million people live on less than $0.99 a day. These statistics sparked my curiosity and I calculated that it costs a minimum of $16,000 to keep me alive each year.

This comes out to roughly $44 dollars a day to support what Americans would call a “poor college student.”

My curiosity took me a step further and I decided to see what it would be like to live on $7 for food for a week, or $1 per day.

I packed up and gave away all the food in my apartment and spent $6.93 on rice, beans, taco sea-soning, peanut butter and bread.

The first night at FHE I ate 3 doughnuts and took 4 more home to eat for break-fast the rest of the week.

I also filled up 2 cups full

of hot chocolate and put them in the refrigerator. My roommates still refer to this as my “ghetto chocolate milk.” Over the next week, I realized that the “free pizza” f lyers on campus were not as prevalent as I’d once thought. Friday and Saturday were the hardest days by far because there were no ward activities and I couldn’t find any free food on campus. I teach a cy-cling class everyday at BYU and by Friday my energy levels were uncomfortably low after a week of eating rice and free junk food. That afternoon I saw a half eaten bag of Cheeze-its at an empty table in the Cou-gareat and without think-ing twice I swiped them.

Whoever left your Cheez-its unattended, I thank you!

Ultimately, what made the experience bearable was my social capital.

I got doughnuts and “ghetto chocolate milk” from FHE, pizza from the

Tanner Building, snacks from Halloween parties, international Halloween candy from the Kennedy Center, French toast and hash browns from institute, baked potatoes and chili from our wards break the fast activity and, of course, the half eaten bag of Cheez-its.

My caloric intake from the food I got for free far exceeded that of the food I could afford with $1/day. Friday and Saturday, when I had less social capital, I ate the bag of half eaten Cheez-its from the Cou-gareat.As my experiment showed, poverty is isolation and an important way to reduce poverty and hunger is to makwe bridging and bonding social connections with others. Sorry again for stealing your Cheez-its; I really appreciated them.

Mark your calendars. Start your countdowns. There is less than a month until the BYU men’s volleyball team’s home opener, and according to coaches and play-ers, the 2013 squad is shaping up to be a good one.

“These guys that are going to be playing are out-standing players that are going to freak the league out and put up some nasty numbers, I can tell you that right now,” senior middle blocker Russ Lavaja said. “This team is really good, and I’m confi dent in the fact that we can do a lot with the talent we’re bringing in.”

After fi nishing the 2012 season with a 24-6 record and a No. 4 national ranking, the Cougars open the 2013 season on Friday Jan. 4 against Hawaii at 7 p.m. in the Smith Fieldhouse.

Lavaja, junior outside hitter Taylor Sander and Head Coach Chris McGown said BYU’s schedule is packed with top-notch opponents, which will make for an excit-ing season.

“Every game this year is going to be good,” Sander said. “Our conference is so deep, so I think we’re going to have to push ourselves to play our best and win every game. We’re going to have to be ready every game, so people can expect to see good games every night.”

The Cougars will have to deal with a major schedule change this season that will keep the team on its toes. In years past, BYU played back-to-back Friday and Sat-urday games against the same opponent. This year, the majority of the team’s weekend games are against dif-ferent opponents. Rather than preparing for one team per week, the Cougars will be preparing for two.

“In years past … we could do a really good job of putting together a game plan and scouting, then make a few tweaks the next night,” McGown said. “Now we play two opponents in one weekend and so we’ll have to put together two different game plans. … Players will have to digest an entire scouting report for Fri-day night, then go again on Saturday without a day in between to kind of fi gure things out.”

According to Sander, the physicality of this year’s team should help balance the stress of the new schedule.

“We’re a very physical team,” Sander said. “We jump high, we’re good blockers. … We have all the physical talent we need, which I think will be benefi cial as we go down the road and our legs get tired as we get into the season.”

Sander, Lavaja and McGown agreed that the Cou-gars’ team chemistry is one of this team’s biggest strengths.

“In terms of culture, they’ve just bought in from top to bottom, and that’s been really important for us,” McGown said. “I thought that was an area where we needed to get better from last year — to have there be unity of purpose and have everybody have a clear vision of our goals and values. … All the guys have really just bought into that idea this year.”

This year’s team features a wide array of experience

The legend behind the logoThe story of BYU’s

stretch ‘Y’

B y I A N R A Y

BYU has been represented over the years by everything from the beehive to a Cougar on a mountain to the stretch “Y” logo.

The reason for changing logos and the signifi cance of having one distinct logo is to stand out.

BYU Athletics has since changed and made alterations in its logo design. With many changes to the logo in the past, the department is sticking with the stretch “Y” as the symbol for BYU sports.

Dave Broberg, from Springville, is the creative design director for BYU Athlet-ics and has been working in BYU Athlet-ics for the past 12 years and knows what makes the BYU logo stand out.

“Our brand is the stretch ‘Y’ in the

oval design, which is the distinction from other schools,” Broberg said. “It’s slowly getting traction. ESPN uses the logo also for their telecast.”

The stretch “Y” logo was created in the 1970s by legendary football Head Coach LaVell Edwards and McRay Magleby, a creative designer of BYU Publications and Graphics, to be placed on the helmet that the football team used.

After reevaluating the royal blue color, BYU got rid of it and replaced it with navy blue — a whole new idea — that the university used and imple-mented strategies to make its identifi -cation of athletics a stronger presence.

BYU Athletics has been using the stretch “Y” ever since the arrival of foot-ball Head Coach Bronco Mendenhall to the program.

Mendenhall only wanted blue and white colors in the logo and desired to bring back the old football hel-met design — the stretch “Y” — because he felt there was tradition

There is no place that has quite as much devotion to the game of basket-ball as the state of Kentucky. James Naismith may have created the game in Massachusetts when he hung peach baskets on the walls and organized teams to throw a ball in them, but bas-ketball has a home in the bluegrass state.

So for the son of Michael and Caro-lyn Montague, there was no other sport he would grow up to play, and there would be no other sport that would prepare him for the rest of his life.

Montague grew up playing point guard in middle school, high school and on recreational teams, which led

to a career with Brigham Young Uni-versity where he set the record for career assists. While his basketball career ended after graduation, Mon-tague continues to assist those who surround him, having learned that a positive attitude can help turn diffi cul-ties into learning opportunities.

After high school, Montague accepted a scholarship offer to play basket-ball for Brigham Young University.

Shortly after the start of the season, the basketball team lost Bryon Ruffner

to a suspension and lost other players to injury, leaving the offense in Mon-tague’s hands.

“You look at the attendance at our games; I think some of my high school games had more fans in the stands than we did,” said Montague in an interview.

The transition from high school to college was not easy on Montague. The team lost Head Coach Roger Reid

BYU volleyball advances to Sweet SixteenBYU women’s

volleyball ranked No. 12 in the nation

B y A M B E R G O O D F E L L O W

The No. 12 seeded BYU wom-en’s volleyball team took down New Mexico State and Okla-homa this weekend to advance to the third round of the NCAA tournament.

The Cougars stand 28–3 in the season and are undefeated at home, 14–0.

In the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday, the Cougars took down New

Mexico State in a quick 3–0 sweep dominating the matches 25–8, 25–17 and 25–14.

BYU Head Coach Shawn Olmstead said he was happy with the way his team played in executing its game plan.

“They came out exactly the way we wanted them to,” Olm-stead said. “Our number one key tonight was to put the pres-sure on them. They got their hands in front of the attack-ers and made a bunch of nice digs in the back row. I’m over-all really, really pleased with them staying the course.”

Junior opposite hitter Jen-nifer Hamson led the Cougars against New Mexico State with 13 kills and 12 digs. Senior set-ter Heather Hannemann con-tributed 23 assists to the team, while sophomore Tia Withers

and freshman Ciara Parker contributed eight digs each. At the net, Kimberly Dahl, Alexa Gray and Nicole War-ner contributed 8, 6 and 5 kills respectively.

On Saturday in the second round of the tournament, BYU came out on top against Okla-homa with another 3–0 sweep taking the matches 25 –17, 25–21 and 25–18.

Olmstead said he was impressed with Oklahoma’s fight, but overall the match went great for the Cougars.

“They gave us all we can handle there,” Olmstead said. “The scores maybe don’t show it, but I didn’t feel comfortable at all through that match to be honest. Hats off to them.”

Hamson led the Cougars once again with 17 kills, and Warner, Dahl and Gray con-tributed eight kills each. With-ers gave the team 15 digs and Hannemann contributed 14 digs and 34 assists.

Hannemann said the wins were exciting for the team and while the Cougars are reach-ing the goals they set in the beginning of the season, they are ready to keep fighting.

“We’re not satisfied yet,” Hannemann said. “We want to keep going and see how far we can take this. Our coach always says ride it as far as you can, so we’re going to ride it as far as we can, and I think we can go as far as we want.”

Even though the Cougars are going to hit the road, With-ers said they were happy about being able to kick off the tour-nament at home.

“We have a great fan base here at home.” Withers said. “The energy here and being home is great. It’s great to fin-ish on an undefeated season at home.”

The Cougars travel to Omaha, Neb. next week for the Sweet Sixteen round. BYU will take on No. 5 seeded Uni-versity of Oregon. The Ducks (27– 4) hosted Pepperdine, Northern Colorado and Day-ton in Eugene, Ore. for the first two rounds of tournament.

In the first round, Dayton edged by Pepperdine 3–2 and Oregon made quick work of Northern Colorado sweeping the match 3–0. Oregon swept

the second round 3–0 as well on Saturday, advancing to the Sweet Sixteen over Dayton.

Oregon finished second in the Pac-12 this season with the best record a second-place finishing team has ever had and in the process recorded 18 sweeps. BYU split the West Coast Conference title with

San Diego and has recorded 20 sweeps.

With nearly identical records and both teams being ranked in the top 20, the third round of the NCAA tourna-ment is sure to be a close battle.

The Cougars and Ducks face off Friday at the Century-Link Center in Omaha, Neb. to fight for entrance into the Elite Eight.

Cougar men’s basketball suffers another basketball road loss

BYU men’s basketball

struggled against Iowa State

B y S H E Y G R O S S E N

Iowa State had no trouble putting the BYU men’s basket-ball team away on Saturday afternoon with a final score of 83–62.

Cyclones guard Will Cly-burn led the way with a career-high 32 points and helped his team shoot 48 percent from the field. Brandon Davies led the Cougars with 20 points.

“He (Clyburn) is a smooth and steady player,” Coach Dave Rose said after the game. “He hit his first four three-point-ers. He was fantastic today.”

Clyburn has played previ-ously against BYU twice as a member of the University of Utah basketball team. He averaged 20.5 points in those two games.

Overall, BYU struggled with its shooting, finishing 37 percent from the field and making just four of their 20 three-pointers. Haws, who has had the hot hand of late, had 9 points on 4-13 shooting.

Starters Craig Cusick and Josh Sharp both were unable to score. Matt Carlino added 12 points off the bench and Nate Austin had eight points. Austin has been battling some minor injuries, but is feeling better.

“I just got to keep getting into better shape,” Sharp said. “I think my shot is fine. I just need to get more confidence.”

BYU also had trouble on the defensive end. In each of its losses they have allowed the

opposing team to average 83 points.

At halftime the score was 48–37 for the Cyclones. Early in the second half they increased their lead to 58–41 and that

lead got up to as many as 22 points. Rose felt the Cyclones played well on defense, espe-cially on Davies.

“I think Iowa State played

him (Davies) how we had expected,” Rose said. “When we throw the ball into him, he will draw a second and maybe a third defender. Brandon does a really good job with sharing the ball and getting good shots for himself. I thought Brandon handled the pressure pretty well.”

It was Iowa State’s 12th win at home dating back to last sea-son. BYU snapped its three-game winning-streak.

“I think we can learn from this,” Rose said. “I know we can get better. I’m looking for-ward to practice on Monday.”

The Cougars schedule does not get much easier. Next week they will be back at home against in-state rivals, Utah State and Utah. BYU also has Virginia Tech and Baylor before conference play begins.

Utah State will be in Provo Wednesday for an evening game.

VOLLEYBALLMens volleyball team preps for upcoming season


levels, with freshmen, seniors and everything in between sharing the court. According to Lavaja, that mix hasn’t hin-dered the team’s ability to bond and fi nd common ground.

“It feels really good to be out there with these guys,” Lavaja said. “(Cohesion) makes you want to play harder for each other and that makes such a huge difference. It’s a part of the game you can’t quantify as a number, but it has so much value to how a team plays throughout the entire course of a season.”

Sander said both younger players and veteran team mem-bers have been working hard to earn their spots in the lineup, which has helped bolster the team as a whole.

“The guys are young and they have a lot of energy, which makes practice really good,” Sander said. “Everyone is work-ing hard to get better, and it’s been really good for us. … We’re a lot closer this year as friends off the court, and I think that’s a really important part of this year’s team. We have the ability to communicate with each other and feel comfortable.”

Lavaja and Sander said though the team still has improvements to make before its season opener, they think the Cougars have the tools to go deep into the postseason tournament.

“You remember a lot of things from previous years, but unfor-tunately the thing that sticks out is that last point,” Lavaja said in regard to playing his last year of collegiate volleyball. “And it’s always been a losing point. Something I’d really like to do is end it on a winning point because that means we end up winning a national champion-ship, and that would make me and the guys so stoked.”

MONTAGUELessons learned by former BYU basketball player


after a 1–6 start, and interim Head Coach Tony Ingle was charged with managing a ros-ter that featured ten fresh-men, four sophomores, and one junior.

“We had a mini-tryout and picked up a couple football play-ers after their season was over, just for more bodies to band,” said Montague. “But Coach Ingle did a really good job of teaching us to have a positive attitude regardless of your sur-roundings or what is going on. Coach Ingle’s attitude helped instill that faith and confi dence in us, day in and day out, we really thought we were going to win the next game.”

Now Montague has a new team of young players that he suits up for. Matt is happily married to his wife Natali, whom he met while at school, and together they have three children, Maybrie, Mindi and Miles. Matt wakes up every morning and helps his daugh-ters practice for their soccer team before sending them off to school.

“I try really hard to teach my kids about things Coach Ingle taught me,” Montague said. “PMA, positive mental attitude, or AYB, are you build-ing? In this world, there are a zillion things you can fi nd that are negative, but there is also so much good, so many positive things all around.”

Montague’s freshmen year could have been dampened with the 25 defeats by an average of 21 points per game. Those weren’t the only losses that Montague would endure during his fresh-man year. On St. Patrick’s Day, Montague was informed of the death of his older sister Mindie.

“We normally called each other on Sunday, to check in with each other as family,” Montague recalled. “She had just died in the evening, and they found her on her bed with the phone in her hand.”

“I was the fi rst one to fi nd out in my family, and I was the one that had to call my mom and dad. I remember sitting at 2100 May Hall, in my dorm room, calling my mom and dad and telling them that Mindie had passed away and then hearing their reaction on the other end of the phone.”

The loss of a sibling was a challenge. Montague had accepted a mission call to Lon-don, England, prior to Mindie’s death.

“I learned a lot from that experience, and now have been able to relate with other people

who suffer an unexpected death in the family,” Montague said.

Montague values the time that he spent at BYU playing basketball. A perusal of the records set by players here at BYU reveal names of great ath-letes that spent their career sweating out home games in the Marriott Center: Greg Kite, Jeff Chatman, Danny Ainge, Kresi-mir Cosic, Jackson Emery, Jim-mer Fredette.

The assist record?“Yeah, that’s the one record

Jimmer couldn’t take from me,”

Montague said with a chuckle.Montague hasn’t given up

basketball completely. He still manages to get some gym time in, whether it’s playing with the men in his church or playing soccer with his two daughters.

While the days aren’t fi lled with the sound of squeaking sneakers and the dribbling of a ball, Montague has found that the principles that lead to suc-cess on the court — hard work and a positive attitude — con-tinue to help put him in a posi-tion to fi nd victory.

LOGOWhat brought BYU’s logo to what it is today


in the blue and white colors and logo.

He wanted to use the logo for football, but eventually the pub-lic, along with other coaches, liked the stretch “Y” logo. After a few years, people started to rediscover the logo.

Duff Tittle, associate ath-letic director of communica-tion, related why Mendenhall wanted back the stretch “Y” logo to return.

Mendenhall had asked the university to bring back the stretch “Y” on the football helmet, but the university did not approve it at fi rst. He had a vision of bringing back the tra-ditional stretch “Y” for BYU football as a resurgence in the sport, which once was a domi-nant force in the NCAA.

It wasn’t an easy sale for all sports to accept the stretch “Y” at fi rst.

“Coach (Dave) Rose was fi rst apprehensive about the stretch ‘Y,’ but later it became a part of the whole sports department and he was quick to adopt it as his brand as well,” Tittle said.

Jeff Wood, 29, from Salt Lake City and a graduate from the BYU advertising program,

said he likes the stretch “Y” logo because of the memories he has associated with it.

“It’s current, and as long as I am a BYU fan, the best memory of BYU has been dur-ing the time Jimmer Fredette was playing basketball…. This is the logo I’ll remember BYU by,” Wood said.

Blaine Pannell, 25, a senior from Chandler, Ariz., studying graphic design, said he believes it is good to have consistency in designing a logo.

“Whenever I go to the book-store, I see many merchan-dises with different logos,” Pannell said. “You just don’t know which is the BYU brand. I think that if anything you use consistently, it has power as a brand mark.”

In a non-scientifi c survey performed among students, participants showed a mixed knowledge of what the logo for BYU represents. The results varied from the blue back-ground with a white oval and blue stretch “Y,” a white back-ground with a blue oval and white stretch “Y” and the vin-tage royal blue BYU logo with the cougar on top.

With so many BYU logo designs, it is hard to know what is the BYU brand, especially when buying a merchandise at the bookstore.

Hillary Millecam, 21, a senior from Mesa, Ariz., majoring in public relations, said the clas-sic line of what the bookstore uses is the serif font BYU logo. As the marketing specialist for

the bookstore, she explained the reason for the many logos sold.

“We have so many differ-ent venues, and we aren’t the creator of the product,” Mille-cam said. “We use the stretch ‘Y’ logo to promote the athletic products. Our Twitter profi le picture is the most accurate look that we use as the BYU Bookstore logo.”

With many merchandisers wanting to sell products with a BYU logo on it, they fi rst have to go through Adam Parker, the licensing and trademark man-ager in the alumni and external relations department.

Parker explained how and why the stretch “Y” became a part of BYU’s identity.

Coach Edwards once needed a royal blue logo for his offi -cial stationery. They created a royal blue logo but later during the years, there was no brand identifi cation for BYU using Edwards’ royal blue logo.

“In 1966, the stretch ‘Y’ logo was used for the football helmet and through the popularity of BYU football, the logo became familiar and people recognized it,” Parker said.

One of the main things that the athletic department tries to build recognition nationwide is the BYU logo of the stretch “Y.”

“We’re not the only school that keeps changing logos,” Broberg said. “As long as I’m here, I don’t see us changing the BYU athletic logo anytime soon as the primary mark.”


Whatever happened to Lenny Gomes?Former BYU

athelete reflects on his past

B y T a y l o r S T r e e T

Life is a series of moments. Some moments define our lives and some moments are quickly forgotten, while others haunt us and never seem to die.

For Lenny Gomes Gregory, one moment from Nov. 20, 1993, will never die. That night, Gregory made one of the most infamous anti-University of Utah state-ments in Holy War history.

“Typical Utah (expletive). All those guys think that’s all there is to life. But when I’m making $50–60,000 a year, they’ll be pumping my gas. They’re low-class losers,” Gregory declared, just moments after the Utes beat the Cougars 34–31 on a last-second field goal.

Utah fans stormed the field and attempted to tear down a goalpost, which Gregory and other BYU players took very personally.

“Obviously there was a lot of emotion,” Gregory recalled. “There was a reporter right there, and without thinking, that’s what I said. It’s not like I was sitting around on a Monday afternoon and just thought that up. If I had to go back, I would take it back. … It’s one of those unfortunate things I wish I could

do over.”The media went wild with

Gregory’s statement, while Utah fans made signs and T-shirts mak-ing a mockery of the Cougars. Even worse, Gregory received death threats and remembers restraining orders being put in place for his protection.

“It was just crazy,” Gregory said. “I thought people would understand that I was a young kid and said something stupid in the heat of the moment. I didn’t threaten anyone’s life. People just took it to a whole new level.”

From the outside looking in, Gregory’s statement was perhaps the defining moment of his BYU football career. He said that while it gets brought up regularly, it hasn’t tarnished his memories or opinion of the university that changed his life.

“It’s more than just a football program at BYU,” Gregory said. “I learned so many life lessons and saw examples of what a great man should be, not just in LaVell Edwards, but the entire coach-ing staff and team was filled with top-notch quality guys. … Everything I learned at BYU has helped me in every decision I’ve had to make and has helped me be successful.”

Gregory graduated from BYU in 1994 with a degree in recre-ation management, after which he was drafted to play for the Las Vegas Posse, part the Canadian Football League’s attempt at American expansion. After the CFL’s expansion attempt didn’t work out after one year, Gregory

took a job with a lumber company in West Virginia. Eventually, he started his own lumber company in Georgia, which was “a hot loca-tion for the lumber business in the early 2000s.”

After the building industry took a turn for the worse, Greg-ory shut the business down and went back to school to “do what I initially wanted to do.”

In 2003, Gregory earned a mas-ter’s degree from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Ariz. As of 2007, he is a full-time special edu-cation teacher at Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga., and also coaches golf and the football team’s defensive line.

Gregory says he uses his expe-rience at BYU to coach and men-tor the youth he interacts with on a daily basis.

“As a former player, I look back on my young adult life and there were a lot of mistakes, a lot of regrets,” Gregory said. “I think about the talents I have and all the things I could have done and it’s hard just not knowing. Ath-letically and as a person, the coaches at BYU did such a good job molding me and trying to build my character.”

Now Gregory is teaching his students and athletes to be self-less and to open doors they’ve never seen before.

“I want to help them realize their true potential and take pride in themselves,” Gregory said.

Gregory didn’t realize his true potential as he grew up in a bro-ken home in Santa Rosa, Calif., and said trusting others did not come easily to him. BYU changed all that.

“Words can’t describe the expe-rience I had at BYU,” Gregory said. “I try to explain it, but all I can say is it was a tremendous influence on a young man that had no guidance and was pretty lost.”

Gregory had verbally commit-ted to Oregon when he made a recruiting trip to BYU, at which point he “fell in love” with the family-centered atmosphere. He

went on to play for five years with the Cougars, and saw consider-able playing time and success as a defensive lineman during his sophomore, junior and senior years.

He was named to the All-West-ern Athletic Conference second team as a sophomore and senior, first team as a junior and was an All-American candidate as a senior. Gregory was picked multiple times as BYU coaches’ player of the game throughout his career.

Gregory said one of his favor-ite football memories came as a sophomore against the Univer-sity of Utah.

“It’s one of the games I’ll always remember … it was a tight game,” Gregory recalled. “I had an interception at the end of the first half that I ran back for a score, then I had another one in the second half. As a lineman, to have two interceptions in one

game, that’s special. I couldn’t have dreamt it up any better to have it be against the U.”

Gregory’s best memories, how-ever, were not of his own accom-plishments on the field, but of the team’s accomplishments.

“I never thought about awards or how I did, it was all about being able to play at BYU and what the team did,” Gregory said. “That was the main concern. To win as many football games as pos-sible and to win a conference championship.”

Amid the awards, achieve-ments and success on the football field, Nov. 20, 1993, represents a moment for which Lenny Gomes Gregory will forever be known. A moment he and the BYU com-munity will never forget. More importantly, though, Nov. 20, 1993, represents a moment that does not and will not tarnish Gregory’s journey that started on the football field.

“I try to tell the kids I teach and coach that everyday is fourth and one,” Gregory said. “I try to teach them no matter how hard it looks, never give up. Never throw in the towel too early. There are going to be times when you have your back up against the wall and you have to make a play and find a way to make it work.”

Gregory says the lessons he learned at BYU not only helped him grow as a person, but now affects all aspects of his life.

“I feel sorry for people who went to BYU and don’t feel like they are successful because of it, and I know they’re out there,” Gregory said. “It’s really too bad, because I had a great opportunity to be influenced by some of the greatest guys to ever be associ-ated with college football. I feel so blessed to have been a part of BYU and I take a lot of pride in that. Being a part of the BYU foot-ball program is an honor.”

BYU hockey drops series against Montana Tech

Cougars endure hard losses to Orediggers for their second

series in a row

B y S p e n c e r S h a m o

The Cougars dropped a pair of games to the Oredig-gers 12–3 on Friday and 4–3 on Saturday.

The Cougars had to play without the services of defend-ers Tanner Billingsley and Scott Johnson on Friday who were suspended against Utah before the break.

“Nothing frustrates me more than sitting in the stands and watching the team play,” Billingsley said. “It kills me because I want to be out there helping contribute to the win.”

This forced the Cougars to play four defensemen the entire game. During special team plays Cam Hymas and Nick Bartholomew were called on to play on defense as well. The Cougars were grateful to have defender Jake Wells, eager for a return, back on the ice since the

beginning of the season.“It was actually the first

time I’ve ever had to miss games,” Wells said. “So it was definitely a new experience for me and definitely made me want to get back as soon as pos-sible to start playing with the team again.”

Not only was the defense short, but goalie Ted Piorczyn-ski struggled getting back into the groove after a two week break, creating the perfect storm to allow the Orediggers to get up early and dominate the first game.

On Saturday, the Cougars fared better with the return of the suspended defenders. They were able to limit shot attempt on the defensive end and take advantage with their speed. After falling behind 3–0 in the first period, forward Mitch Facer began a Cougar rally by netting a goal.

“It was a two-on-one, and Coach (Jeremy Weiss) actu-ally told us before the period that it was a left handed goalie,” Facer said. “So that is one of the rare opportunities that righties get to shoot low blocker. So he said to make sure and shoot low blocker.”

In the third period, forward David Gebert pulled the Cou-gars within one of the Oredig-gers with 12 minutes left in the

third period. However, the Ore-diggers answered with what appeared to be a questionable goal.

“It was a bit of a scramble and it looked like Ted (Pior-czynski) had it in his glove,” Weiss said. “I think they slashed his glove and knocked the puck out.”

Down by two, the Cougars pulled the goalie for the final 80 seconds of play. BYU capital-ized on a play created by a big hit by Billingsley on the blue line, who followed the hit up with an assist to Bartholomew for another Cougar goal. The Cougars continued to attack and had some close calls in the final seconds, but in the end came up short and the Oredig-gers took the game 4–3.

“We had a lot of really good chances to score in the end,” Weiss said. “We hit the post once and their goalie came up with a huge save on a clear cut chance for Tanner (Billings-ley). It was a ridiculous save that he made.”

Weiss said he was proud of his team being able to settle down and begin to play the percent-ages better in the second game. He hopes they will continue to move forward with this focus in their final series against the Uni-versity of Utah before Christmas break.

BYU falls to Utah in Deseret First Duel

B y J a r e D h o U g h T o n

Salt Lake City – The BYU men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams lost a hard-fought meet to the University of Utah Saturday. The women lost 181–117 and the men lost 155–145.

“Congratulations to the Uni-versity of Utah tonight,” BYU head coach John Brooks said. “They swam some fast times tonight. I’m proud of the way we fought and the effort we put forth.”

Both the men and the women won the first event of the night. The women’s 200 IM relay team of Hailey Campbell, Kassan-dra Bispo, Kimberly Welch Doroghian and Alexandria Sorensen took first with a time of 1:44.38. On the men’s side, the Cougars took first and second place. The team of Preston Jen-kins, Brady Wells, David Arm-strong and Brent Murray took first with a time of 1:30.94 and the team of Jordan Fletcher, Andrew Rutherfurd, Garret Beaman and

Payton Sorenson took second with a time of 1:32.10.

Jenkins won the 100 back with a time of 50.37 and Fletcher took third with a time of 51.97. Londyn Clawson took second with a time of 58.28 and Campbell took fourth with a time of 58.51.

The men swept the top three spots in the 100 breast. Wells took first with a time of 58.38, Ruther-furd took second with a time of 58.44 and Greg Ballif finished third with a time of 59.23. Bispo took second with a time of 1:04.83 and Mallory Harris took fourth with a time of 1:08.08.

Doroghian got her second vic-tory of the night in the 200 fly with 2:05.11.

In the fastest event of the night, Murray and Beaman took first and second in the 50 free. For the women, Sorensen finished in sec-ond place with a time of 24.24 and Taryn Toolson Lewis took fourth with a time of 24.42.

In the dive pool, Dayna Chris-tensen and Raleigh Williams Taylor took second and third place in the 1-m. In the 3-m, Chris-tensen, Taylor and Mackenzie

After months of school and a grueling fi nals week, many students use Christ-mas break to relax and watch Netfl ix.

Students shared the best shows to watch on Netfl ix: “Arrested Develop-ment,” “Freaks and Geeks” and “The Wonder Years.” All three of these shows can be watched over Christmas break while only watching a maximum of 5.5 hours a day.

“Arrested Development”Netfl ix currently has three seasons

of “Arrested Development.” Season four is set to debut as a Netfl ix exclusive in early 2013.

Leigh Bergin, a senior studying psy-chology, enjoys watching “Arrested Development.” The show is about a dys-functional family trying to keep the family business afl oat. Bergin recom-mends the show because she said she fi nds it funny.

Bergin noted the importance of bal-ancing time with family but also said watching Netfl ix while on break is not a bad idea.

“When you’re with your family, if you have older siblings with kids, your par-ents are going to bed earlier than you and if you don’t happen to be hanging out with your high school friends that night then watch some Netfl ix,” Bergin said.

“Freaks and Geeks”Alyssa Child, from Bountiful, is an

English teaching major. She discov-ered the show “Freaks and Geeks” from watching it with her brother and sister-in-law.

The show only had one season, but all 18 episodes are available for viewing on Netfl ix. The show takes place at a high

Around the holidays students have a lot on their plates.

Besides turkey, pie and yams, students also have to digest fi nals, projects and papers while try-ing to balance the holiday excitement.

Whitney Lewis, an English teaching major from Oregon, said the holidays are distracting because she is thinking about seeing her family and what gifts to buy, instead of fi nals.

“I love being on campus when it is cold and snowy, and I think there is an excitement here when everyone is getting ready for Christmas,” Lewis said. “So maybe I am not necessarily think-ing about the academic aspects as much as I am the social and cultural aspects of being on a university campus during the holidays, and I love it.”

Stewart Griffi n, from Salt Lake City, has a simi-lar view; he said the end of the semester is stressful anyway, so combined with the holidays, it is very hard to focus during the last few weeks.

“A lot of times by the end of the semester you’re burned out and you don’t have the same motivation you would have normally at the beginning of the semester,” Griffi n said. “The thing is, you have all of these tests and things you are supposed to get done but at the same time you are worrying about just holidays and also just the end of the semester. So you want to do your best but at the same time you are running around trying to do a bunch of other things.”

Professor Jean Applonie, in the school of music, said the holidays have the opposite effect for her students. Instead of adding stress, the holiday excitement rejuvenates her students, which helps rather than hurts their fi nals.

After Thanksgiving and before Christmas, music students return and hit the ground running because they have Christmas concerts and perfor-mances and they need to be at the top of their game.

“There is so much energy generated by the Christmas holiday coming up you might think they come back (from Thanksgiving break) a little lax, slow-paced, but I think it’s so close to the fi nal

Fans nervous about ‘Girl Meets World’

B y J a c o B R o B e R T s

“Star Wars” isn’t the only thing Disney will be rebooting in the next few years — the cast of “Boy Meets World” is all grown up, and Disney is going to continue the story.

The new show, “Girl Meets World,” will focus on the daughter of Cory and Topanga Matthews and her pre-teen drama. It has been confirmed this week that original cast members Ben Sav-age (Cory) and Danielle Fishel (Topanga) will return for their original roles.

Alyson Fullmer, an English major from West Jordan, said she’s excited for the new show, especially since it since Savage and Fishel will be returning.

“I think it’s awesome that they’re bringing back the original Cory and Topanga,” Fullmer said. “I just wonder if the fan base will be different, if the younger genera-tion will watch it or if it’s gonna be all the people who used to watch it before.”

Lisa Cheney, a junior from Bountiful, said she grew up on the original and is excited for the new show.

“It was a great show back then, and I think it’ll be fun to have it back,” Cheney said.

Cheney said it will be interest-ing, and kind of weird, to see Cory as a dad, but she thinks the show will be fantastic.

But as much as some fans are excited about a classic childhood memory coming back to the tube, they’re a little nervous about how

it could turn out.“I’m a little bit skeptical, but I

like that Disney is bringing it back with a new idea, not just the same storyline with different charac-ters,” Nate Fullmer, a sophomore from Springville, said.

Fullmer said in order for the show to be successful, it must have Shawn, should at least feature Eric and, of course, has to have Mr. Feeny.

While Fullmer believes people who grew up with the show will be excited to see what the new show is like, he doesn’t think it will be very successful with them; rather, it will appeal more to younger gen-erations. Nonetheless, Fullmer is still looking forward to it.

“I’m excited to see it and look forward to how it turns out,” Fullmer said.

Psychology major Emily Allan, who watched every episode grow-ing up, said she’s not sure how she feels about the new version.

“At first I thought it would be kind of cool, but the more I read

and think about it, I don’t really like it,” Allan said.

Allan isn’t a fan of Cory being the new Feeny, as he will be his daughter’s seventh-grade history teacher, nor does she like that the daughter’s best friend is almost the same character as Shawn, who struggles with father/aban-donment issues.

“It should be similar, but they’re making it almost exactly the same too much,” Allan said.

Allan is also hesitant about the show because she feels the origi-nal show was very wholesome and taught valuable life lessons and the importance of family, but she doesn’t think the new show will be able to do that.

“The original emphasized fam-ily and staying together while going through problems, and that’s not TV anymore — that’s not what sells,” Allan said.

Some fans are against the idea of bringing the show back.

“I just am worried that it’s just going to get ruined,” Kirk Garrett, a Spanish major, said. “It seems like it might just be another bad reboot.”

Garrett agreed with Allan, say-ing that if it doesn’t teach impor-tant life lessons like the original show, it will just be another mind-less and pointless TV show. Gar-rett’s biggest concern is that the show had better have the same characters.

“If Feeny’s not around, then the universe where ‘Boy Meets World’ is set in is just going to collapse in on itself,” Garrett said.

students start decorating their apartments with red and greenStudents embrace

the Christmas season

B y K R i s T e n W i l l D e n

Making college apartments feel like home can be chal-lenging, but that did not stop Mercedes Poole from decorat-ing her new apartment with a Christmas tree.

Like Poole, many students try to make their apartments into a home away from home, especially during holiday seasons.

Poole, from Payson, and her roommates went to Ikea, the Dollar Store, Walmart and Tar-get to buy their ornaments and decorated their book shelves, the walls in the front room and the mantle.

“I don’t even want to leave,” she said. “I don’t want to go home because my apartment is so cute. We just sit around and drink hot chocolate all the time.”

Poole said Christmas is a wonderful time to bring everyone together, including roommates.

“We created a family so fast,” she said. “It’s the most welcom-ing thing. It’s just really nice to go home.”

Morgan Renfroe, a senior from Liberty, Mo., majoring in elementary education, went Christmas decoration shopping with her husband. They are excited to decorate their apart-ment together with a Christmas tree, lights, ornaments and cut-out paper chains.

“I love decorating with Christmas music, cookies and hot chocolate,” Renfroe said. “I don’t decorate to celebrate the 25th. I decorate because it’s the Christmas season and I want to

celebrate it all season.”Nate Montgomery, a senior

from Atlanta, Ga. majoring in entrepreneurship, said that the festivities can fluctuate depend-ing on his living situation at college.

“I am not that excited to dec-orate an apartment, but when I lived in (a) house, I felt like I was the owner of the house,” he said.

Like Montgomery, some stu-dents don’t see the purpose of decorating their apartments

because of the cost on their money and time.

Travis Pearson, a junior majoring in accounting from Grand Junction, Colo., said he is fine with general decorations and has decorated his apart-ment with his roommates, but not for holidays.

“It doesn’t serve that much of a purpose,” he said. “Mostly because I am too lazy. I don’t have decorations, and I don’t feel like spending money on decorations.”

No sleep tonight: Pulling the college all-nighter

B y L i n D s e y W i L L i a m s

Many students know the joy of exiting the testing center and feeling the relief of finishing a test, but for Jake Kruitbosh the joy was short-lived as he realized that, with the homework he had due the next day, he would have to pull an all-nighter.

Pulling all-nighters in college, while it may not be an enjoyable experience, is a frequent prac-tice among college students.

Kruitbosch, a freshman studying business management, said the experience of pulling an all-nighter actually turned out all right. He took an hour nap at midnight and then wrote a paper and studied for his test.

“I got my paper back and got 94 out of 95,” Kruitbosch said. “I haven’t gotten my test back yet, but I feel good about it. It was a good experience, and then I went home and went to sleep all day.”

Jace Mattinson, a senior majoring in accounting, said he does not recommend all-night-ers. During his junior year, he pulled all-nighters during mid-terms and finals.

“I was awake enough,” Mat-tinson said. “It was definitely

a struggle. I don’t recommend all-nighters to anyone, that’s for sure. I’ve gotten wiser as I’ve got-ten older.”

Mattinson recommended those who try to pull all-nighters should take a break every hour.

“I’m not a big fan of caffeine b ec au se I don’t like the dump that happens after,” M a t t i n s o n said. “Some people like it and that’s fine, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. It’s like having an all-nighter h a n g o v e r on top of a hangover from caffeine.”

Dallin Bas-tian, a junior from Twin Falls, Idaho, pulled one all-nighter when he was 12. After spending the entirety of the next week sick, he now tries to go to bed before it’s light outside. When he has to stay up late, he has tricks to stay awake.

“Drink really cold water and

start pacing if you’re tired,” Bastian said. “If you start get-ting drowsy, make yourself cold. If it’s winter, go outside and get shocked back into being awake.”

However, some students said they are able to accomplish their schoolwork without sacrificing

sleep. Cori Bro-berg, a fresh-man from Simi Valley, Calif., has pulled a few all-night-ers, but they have never been for school purposes.

“I always try to do home-work right away so I don’t have any at n i g h t t i m e ,” Broberg said. “If I ever try to do homework in my room at night, I always

fall asleep.”Levi Roberts, a junior study-

ing manufacturing engineering, has never pulled an all-nighter.

“I quit doing homework at 7 p.m.,” Roberts said. “The day-time is for school, and the night-time is for parties.”

FinalsThe storm before the calm


exam period that it’s just a short reprieve before the big finale,” she said. “I think that maybe if anything it might be a good little bit of a rest to give that final push toward final exams.”

Jeffrey Chadwick, profes-sor of religion, said he doesn’t notice the holidays negatively affecting student’s work, but it does increase their stress.

Around the holidays

students have a lot of papers and projects to turn in, and the Thanksgiving break makes it hard to pull every-thing together the last couple of weeks. Even though the time around finals and the holidays is stressful and busy, it should be enjoyed, and Christmas break should be looked at as an award for making it through the semester, Chadwick said.

“People should just really enjoy the holidays; that’s what they are here for,” Chadwick said. “You are supposed to have joy in life, and this is one of the things that helps you do it. People shouldn’t let stress, especially the stress of finals and papers, cut down on their ability to enjoy.”

netFlixCatching up on the best shows over break


school in the 80s. The geeks get bullied by the freaks. Child said she enjoys the show because of the humor and also because the show has no laugh track.

“It’s the best thing that has ever happened,” Child said.

Child said watching Netf-lix over Christmas break is an excellent idea.

“It’s the best time to do it because you don’t have to worry about anything,” Child said. “It’s the end of the semester, and it’s time to ‘veg’ out and recoup.”

Child said Netflix should be watched in moderation to avoid missing family time.

“You don’t have to be hooked at the hip with the people you’re with when you go home,” Child said. “On a winter’s night, there’s not much else to do. But if you haven’t gotten out of your pajamas the entire break and

you’ve watched all of the seasons of multiple shows you’ve proba-bly maxed out.”

“The Wonder Years”In this six-season show, Kevin

Arnold reflects on memories of his childhood. The stories are

portrayed by actors, and at the end a message goes along with what Arnold learned in his childhood.

Casey Bahr, a 20-year-old sophomore, recommends “The Wonder Years.”

“It’s my favorite show, and

that’s not an exaggeration,” Bahr said. “I feel like everyone should see it at least once in their life.”

“The Wonder Years” can be watched together as a family.

“It’s a great family show,” Bahr said. “It brings back good memories when I sit down and watch a show with my family just because we did that grow-ing up.”

Bahr said too much Netflix-watching may be a bad idea because it takes away from time that should be spent together as a family.

“It depends on the family,” Bahr said. “If you’re not together and it’s monopolizing your time then that is probably a bad thing.”

With finals approaching, many students such as James Blair, contemplate all-nighters.

instead of netflix...in the time spent watching three entire series’ episodes, you could:• Build 48 snowmen• almost fly to australia and back 3 times• Read 4 books• Fly around the world (as steve Fossett did) and

have time for an 11.5 hour meet-and-greet• Play 2,358 rounds of angry Birds• Walk 236 miles, which is about the distance from

Provo to Blackfoot, idaho• if you had a dollar for every minute of time the

netflix calendar would take, you would be able to buy 14 iPad minis

• Take a round-trip to space traveling 26,355,177,360 miles at the speed of light

“It was definitely a struggle. i don’t

recommend all-nighters to anyone, that’s for

sure. i’ve gotten wiser as i’ve gotten older.”

Weight loss in Hollywood: Dedicated actress or false image?

Actress Jennifer Lawrence chose to maintain a healthy weight versus ‘getting into character’ while others in

Hollywood don’t

B y J a c o B R o B e R T s

“The Hunger Games” star Jennifer Lawrence might not be the standard measurements of today’s female celebrities, but she gets a lot of respect from fans for staying true to her figure.

With recent celebrity state-ments on their weight and how it fits into playing different roles, Hollywood has reopened the age-old discussion regard-ing female celebrities’ weight — who should lose weight and who’s lost too much. While some critics feel weight is essential to a movie character, some fans give credit to celebrities who refuse to follow the dieting trends.

When “The Hunger Games” was released, a number of crit-ics were unhappy with Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, saying that she was a “big-boned” girl and didn’t look hungry enough for the role. But Lawrence merely replied to such accu-sations that she would never starve herself for a movie role and that she’s proud of her body.

On the other hand, Anne Hathaway lost 25 pounds for the new movie “Les Miserables,” 15 of those pounds in just two

weeks. Hathaway told Vogue magazine she did it by eating only two small squares of dried oatmeal paste a day, a danger-ous and unhealthy diet all for the sake of getting into charac-ter. Hathaway said it was pretty nuts.

Beau Stephenson, a local actor from Pasco, Wash., said losing weight for a role is strictly a character decision between the director and actor, but it’s probably not the healthi-est thing to do.

“As an actor, you take a look at the risks and assess them,

and try to do it the smartest way possible,” Stephenson said. “If you’re going for a sense of real-ism and you want to be true to the character and weight is a big factor, then it’s something you have to do.”

Stephenson did give credit to Lawrence, though, for her deci-sion to maintain her normal weight for the role even though the book portrays her character as frail and skinny.

“I think it was a really smart decision for her and it didn’t detract from her acting at all,” Stephenson said.

Blair Harmon, a senior in the dietetics program, said she has more respect for Lawrence knowing she chose to be herself for the role of Katniss.

“It was nice to watch that movie and see that she wasn’t super skinny,” Harmon said. “She wasn’t fat, but very toned.”

Harmon said that Hatha-way’s lightning weight loss was dangerous and stupid. She said that severe weight loss like that is bad for the body because it pulls water from the muscles, reduces muscle mass and once the body returns to normal food consumption, it will naturally store more of it as a defense against further malnutrition, thus causing a faster weight gain.

Harmon said Hollywood’s general portrayal of what women should look like is unrealistic and presents a false image to young girls.

Lynzee Baxter, a physical education major from Spanish Fork, agreed with Harmon, say-ing Hollywood makes it seem

like it’s a bad thing for women to have any fat on their body.

“They come out with the appearance that everyone’s thin and it comes naturally, when that’s not the case,” Baxter said.

Baxter said she admires celebrities like Lawrence and Adele who are confident with themselves, even if the media says they need to conform.

“It would be hard living in that kind of world and always having people tell you you’re too fat,” Baxter said. “I feel like most women do look like them (Lawrence and Adele), and that’s normal for everyone else outside of Hollywood.”

As a runner, Baxter said she had weight insecurities at times growing up due to outside sources and comparing herself to famous runners, but she real-ized it was more important to find greatness in herself.

“Your weight doesn’t define who you are,” Baxter said. “I find a lot of solace with knowing this is who I am and I’m happy with who I am.”

Holiday road-tripping: Music makes all the

difference

B y J e s s i e a l l e n

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. But before the “stockings are hung by the chimney with care,” and the halls are “decked with boughs of holly,” many students must make the journey to their respective homes to meet their loved ones.

For many students, making the journey back home means a long road trip. But road trips don’t have to be boring. One thing that makes road trips a memorable experience is the music played.

Often the destination or occasion for road-tripping determines the type of music that is to be played.

Mitch Spencer, from Thatcher, Ariz., said music has the ability to set the mood and raise excitement.

“Music is such an important part of road-tripping,” Spencer said. “Of course, it depends on the mood you’re trying to set and where you’re going, but that’s why you have to have a wide variety of stuff to choose from.”

Spencer said he has road-tripping music lined up for all different types of events — parties, block activities, games and long trips to name a few.

For long trips, he likes a medley of music to differenti-ate things. At the beginning, he likes to have pump-up jams blasting; near the middle, he chooses more relaxed music; and nearing the end of his journey, he’ll need the pump-up jams again to carry him in with a bang.

Brad George from Cody, Wyo., agreed with Spencer concerning the importance of music on road trips. He said he believes music serves so many purposes on road trips.

“Music makes the trip not as boring, keeps you awake, is social and can be a conver-sation starter,” George said. “I’ll listen to pretty much any-thing when I’m road-tripping because it just makes it fun.”

George did say that his genre of choice is country.

“It keeps you attentive,” George said. “It’s fun to sing along — as loud as you can. I do that all the time.”

Erica Larsen, a sophomore studying photography, has had many memorable experiences with her family on road trips. Her family has frequently done the cross-country road trip, but to make it entertain-ing they use music and sing alongs more than DVDs and word games.

“There are six people in my family, each with very differ-ent tastes in music,” Larsen said.

“One playlist or genre can’t please us all, so what we do is, we take turns choosing the song. Our only rule is that you don’t mock someone’s choice, because you wouldn’t want them to mock yours.”

This system works for her family. Larsen said that by the end of the road trip the boys secretly learn to like the girlier choices of Katy Perry and Tay-lor Swift, and the girls are belt-ing the more male-oriented sounds of Alabama.

“We are all somewhat musi-cally talented,” Larsen said. “So when we can harmonize and split into parts, it just makes us all come together.”

“Actually, sometimes I remember the car rides more than the actual vacations, and I would definitely attribute that to our road-tripping music.”

Weekly five: Christmas gifts you don’t want to miss out on

B y L A U R E N M O R A N

Christmas is around the corner, and the time has come to whip out the credit cards and cash. Students are heading to malls, department stores, Walmart and Best Buy, looking for that perfect gift to give on the day of joy and good cheer.

There are some gifts stu-dents will not want to miss this holiday season — if the wallet allows.

1. iPod Touch or iPad MiniFollowing the iPhone 5,

Apple Inc. added these two new gadgets to their plethora of must-have toys. The new-est iPod Touch includes Siri, improved photo and video capability, larger screen space and a variety of color-ful cases.

People will feel like they have their own personal iPhone 5, only thinner and without the phone bill. The iPad Mini is another treat for underneath the Christmas tree. The shrunken iPad is small enough for the kids and large enough for the personal reader.

Zoe Smock, a freshman from Pound Ridge, N.Y., said Apple Inc. products are a must–have for under the

Christmas tree.“They’re fun, and I am used

to the operating system,” she said. “I am a Mac person, so any kind of Mac technology I am partial to because it is easier to use … and it has a lot of versatility. People in my family use it, so it would be easier to connect.”

2. The token gift cardPeople always appreciate

some extra spending money during the holidays. With sales galore, a gift card is always a good idea. Sizing, return policies and personal preferences are no concern when this reaches the hand of your family member or sig-nificant other.

Jonathan Dibble, a junior from Spokane, Wash., said gift cards are good for certain people.

“It depends on the person,” Dibble said. “For the right person, it is the right gift, because they are more picky about what they want. If you just do not know what they want, then they appreciate that, too.”

3. The Batman Trilogy“Batman Begins,” “The

Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises” were released as a package deal on Dec. 4. People can never go wrong with a good movie collection.

Amazon has the trilogy on Blu-ray for $29.96 and DVD for $19.96. Families can gather around the f lat-screen and enjoy each other’s company while taking in Christopher Nolan’s masterpieces.

4. The small, thoughtful trinkets

For some students, it is not the money, but the thought that counts when it comes to gift giving.

People can always use a scarf to brunt the cold or a candle to warm the heart. Diane Roberts, a freshman from Tuscon, Ariz., said she enjoys giving trinkets and small presents to her family members.

“It is definitely the thought that counts,” she said. “I don’t think money is really a big factor. It just depends on how much time or thought … goes into a gift. I am a big fan of small gifts. It is the little things that accumulate to make the greater things.”

5. Perfume and cologneAqua di Gio by Armani and

Light Blue by Dolce & Gab-ana are the gifts that keep on giving.

When students give their significant other or family member one of these scents, Christmas will smell really good for a really long time.

BYU students save money on Christmas music

B y C A S E Y B R I G G S

Christmas music is a vital part of the holiday season, and BYU students are fi nding inex-pensive ways to get their “Jingle Bell Rock” fi x.

Rod Stewart, Lady Antebel-lum and Colbie Caillat are a few of the artists that released Christmas albums this year. But for some students, pay-ing $12–$15 for a CD seems an unnecessary expense. Online options like Pandora, Playlist and Spotify have made it easier for students to listen to Christ-mas music for free.

Lindsey Potter likes new Christmas music but doesn’t see the need to buy music that may just fade away.

“I only listen to Christmas music on the radio or Pandora,” Potter, a senior studying Eng-lish language, said. “It’s a good way to listen to the new Christmas music with-out buying the CD.”

C e e L o Green, Scotty McCreery and Blake Shelton also released C h r i s t m a s albums ear-lier in Novem-ber, along with compilation albums and a CD by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

Other students, like Brittany Tennant, are open to buying Christmas albums, but only on the rare occasion.

“If it’s a style of music that I know I already like, then I would maybe buy it,” Tennant, a junior studying psychology, said. “It’s got to be a style that I would already listen to anyway.”

Aubri Robinson, a junior

studying business strategy, has been using online sources for several years and is unlikely to buy Christmas music in the future.

“I am a very traditional Christmas music person, but I

wouldn’t buy C h r i s t m a s albums,” Rob-inson said. “I like timeless songs, but I am cheap and I don’t like to buy music in general. I use Playlist, and I listen to a Christmas playlist I have been using for over three years.”

Some students, like Stephen Farnsworth, think that buy-ing CDs in general is a poor investment.

“First of all, you can only listen to Christmas CDs for one month out of the year,” Farnsworth, a junior studying strategy, said. “You can lis-ten to Christmas music in so many other places that it just doesn’t seem like a good use of money. Plus, we sing Christmas music in church and when we

go Christmas caroling. I have thousands of songs on my iPod

but only a few that are Christ-mas songs.”

The evolution of fall trendsB y L A U R E N M O R A N

On the first day of fall semester, colored skinny jeans painted the sidewalks as stu-dents strolled to class. Later, lacy tops and outlandish jew-elry sparkled and gleamed as women went about their daily schoolwork. And lastly, army boots covered the once brightly colored skinny jeans.

While the past fall fashion trends have come and gone during the semester, they did make an impression on several students. Some BYU students are beginning their predic-tions for what will last and what will fade with the new year.

Nicole Cardon, an employee at the BYU Bookstore, works at the cash register overseeing the clothing section. She said she has observed the student population buying a variety of trendy apparel items.

“I have seen students buy really bright colors, stripes, lacy chiffon shirts and maxi and asymmetrical skirts,” Car-don said.

She said people are no longer showing interest in the over-sized, loose tops, that used to be popular.

Laurel Peacock, a freshman from Orem, majoring in neu-roscience, said there will be trends that fade.

“I think that colored skinny jeans were too popular,” Pea-cock said. “A lot of people had

them so they kind of got too used.”

Peacock sticks with the clas-sic lace and pea coats. She said she has not observed any new trends on campus, but appre-ciates BYU’s stylish student body.

McKenna Murray, an 18-year-old freshman from Las Vegas, majoring in envi-ronmental science, said the colored skinny jeans were the most noticeable of the fall trends. Murray has nothing against the colored pants but prefers other styles for her fashion line up. She said she is a personal fan of the vintage style that is having a comeback this season.

“Vintage is always some-thing I have done since I have been picking out my own clothes,” Murray said. “I think I am going to keep up with that (style) regardless of the trend.”

Murray said BYU has a styl-ish student body, especially in certain departments. Murray said the HFAC is the go–to for the university’s fashionistas and trend-setters.

Audrey Blake, a senior from Houston, majoring in English, does not look to other students for fashion ideas. Blake said she does not follow trends, rather starts them. Of the trends she follows, she said the prep school look is her per-sonal favorite.

“I think that the preppy style has been in way more than ever,” Blake said. “That is one that I have always followed and

will always follow.”In addition to the preppy

style, Blake enjoyed the mixed animal print and patterns.

“I will follow the leopard,” Blake said. “A good, strong animal print that doesn’t look tacky is always a good thing.”

With online options for listening to music, some students have stopped buying Christmas CDs.

“You can listen to Christmas music in so

many other places that it just doesn’t seem like a good use of money.”

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. “It’s like a head-ache.”

Similar to a headache, the symptoms could come from a number of different stressors in the person’s life.

Dr. Nabi meets with his pa-tients and asks them questions about their symptoms. If he sus-pects an issue with the patient’s 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]. I’ve 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 I’m 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 can’t,” 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 they’re 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 we’re 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 let’s 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, Ansted’s 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. I’ve seen other wands for sale at craft sales and farmer’s markets, but they are priced much higher, and I like Sara’s Wands better. My kids just de-scribe them as ‘awesome.’”

Ansted’s 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 fights, that would be simply miserable in the middle of December.

The world’s largest water bal-loon fight in Summer 2010 was hosted by BYUSA, BYU’s 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 field competitions.

Steven Leyland, a pre-business major, said campus is less crowd-

ed during spring term, which is a potential benefit.

“Campus is more freed up,” Ley-land said. “There isn’t all the foot traffic where you can’t get to class on time because you’re 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 finals 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 benefit 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 you’re coming out of classes you can go sit on a bench and it isn’t 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 shouldn’t be camping every Friday night,” she said.

Steven’s 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 didn’t sleep much, but it was still fun.”

Scott Jackson, a junior from Ev-erett, Wash. studying mechanical engineering, found inspiration in Steven’s weekend hobby.

“Our group just went out and did something no one else was doing, and it didn’t 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. “There’s 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.
