Honors students are also afforded priority registration and intimate class sizes. Cassandra Roland, a senior communication major from West Wendover, Nevada, said the honors program is a gratifying way to get involved with the campus and cornmunity and be part of a group of people who share the same academic standards. Roland said she enjoys the opportunity to interact with other students outside of her major and take exploratory classes outside of the department of her major. People from different areas of study erinhakoda to Ig for Honors recognition on a degree at graduation is meant to signify hard work, initiative and excellence. Admission to Dixie State University's Craig & Maureen Booth Honors Program is based on GPA, test scores and an essay to determine if the student is fit for the pro- gram. Once admitted, honors students must maintain a cumulative 3.5 GPA, complete at least 18 credits of honors classes and submit an honors thesis.

"We did a business class last spring, and it was cool to dip my hands a little bit into business even though I'm not a business major." The additional coursework is harder to accommodate for students who join the prop-alater in their college career because their schedules may not have the same elasticity of freshman or sophomore year schedules, Roland said. Despite the additional 18 credits on top of the base requirements for a bachelor's degree, Samantha West, a senior English major from Salt Lake City, said the honors program is worth it. Because she applied beforehand and was able to join the prop-ain her freshman year at DSU, West said she has been able to distribute the extra credits evenly between each semester and will graduate on time. "Every ounce of energy I've put into the honors program and the work I've done for the courses have definitely come back to me tenfold," West West has taken topic courses on cultural evolution, big history and even a Halloween class. Roland took an environmental science class through the honors program, which then allowed her to travel to Costa Rica on an environmental science trip. Honors students get involved with and also conduct community activities, Yule said. In October, the honors prop-ahelped DSU and the St. George Art Museum's collaborative Halloween showcase, "Scary Lights and Pumpkin Frights." In 2016, West was involved in the coordination of DSU's Halloween Art Show. This year, the students also helped with the St. George 1 Marathon. West said she would recom- mend the program to other students. "The honors program isl said.

"The kiss was not written in the script," Sink, 15, said. "I get there, the first day of Snow Ball, me and Noah (Schnapp) are walking in seeing the decorations and stuff. One of you, I think it was you Ross, you say, 'Oh, Sadie, you ready for the kiss?' I'm like, 'What! No! That's not in the script. That's not happening.' So the whole day I was like stressed out, I was like 'oh my god, wait, am I gonna have to The kiss, which Sink said happened in front of "parents and the crew and my mom," was saved for the second day of filming the Snow Ball, when Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) and Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) kissed for the second time. Ross Duffer blamed Sink's reactions for his insistence on the kiss. "You reacted so strongly to this. I was just joking and you were so freaked out that I was like well, gotta make her do it now," he said on "Beyond Stranger Things." McLaughlin, 16, also said the kiss left him "feeling weird." The forced kiss comes with renewed interest amid a widespread Hollywood scandal of sexual harassment and assault. "Stranger Things" star Finn Wolfhard recently left his agency after his agent, Tyler Grasham, was accused of sexual assault by actor and filmmaker Blaise Godbe Lipman.
