Ends March 31. 2007. shine at regional competition Utah Valley State College Theatre Department faculty and students recently returned from the Region VIII Kennedy Center American College Theater The-ater Festival in Cedar City with several awards and accolades. At the festival, more than 60 UVSC student actors, dramaturges, drama-turges, playwrights, directors, designers, technicians and stage managers showcased their works against those from more than 230 colleges from Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, Ari-zona, Guam and Hawaii, competing com-peting for titles in the best of collegiate theatre production. UVSCs 35-member production produc-tion of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" was one of only eight selected to be performed at the festival. That's the equivalent of being be-ing invited to the NCAA March tournament in basketball," said D. Terry Petrie, Theatre Department De-partment chair. "The Tempest" played twice at the six -day festival, both times to standing ovations, and was considered one of the top festival shows. For the first time in UVSC history, two theatre students, Danor Gerald, a junior from Saratoga Springs, and Cooper Howell, a freshman from Cedar Ce-dar Hills, made it to the semifinal semi-final round of the Irene Ryan acting scholarship competition. They performed a three-minute, two-person scene. UVSC junior and theatre student Brian Randall from Centerville, Utah was selected to perform in the vaudeville Evening of Entertainment show. Vaudeville is variety style entertainment. "He brought down the house with his light-hearted, dramatic presentation," Petrie said. Theatre student Jana Grass, a junior from Springville, was chosen to perform scenes from the musical comedy "Nun-sense" "Nun-sense" at selected scenes night. Three theatre design students stu-dents competed in the final round of the design presentation presenta-tion competition. They included Michael James, a junior from Spanish Fork, who competed in lighting, Mandy Lyons, a junior from Cedar Hills (costumes) and Richard Newman, New-man, a freshman from Orem (makeup).

UVSC nursing students complete community teaching projects In UVSCs Community Nursing Nurs-ing 4020 class, students were required to research and find a gap in education related to community health issues. The project had to be an original idea to improve community com-munity health education, something some-thing not previously taught by other agencies. The class was divided into groups of three to four students, who were instructed in-structed to find a health educational educa-tional need that is not currently offered by other agencies in the community. The project was considered a "service-learning teaching project," and students were required re-quired to leave their educational education-al materials with the agency with which they are working, so that the education can continue con-tinue long after the students are gone. In the spring semester of this year, one group of students developed a program aimed at fourth-grade students to teach children about diabetes. They had learned that some students are teased due to health problems, prob-lems, and wanted to prevent those kinds of problems with students that have diabetes. Human Resource Department, the pay increases are being implemented to attract more substitutes and to bring pay rates more in line with neigh- $4 OFF the Comfort Spa $6 OFF the Renew Spa $8 OFF the Ultimate Spa Mon-Fri 10am -6pm Sat 9am - S pm 268 W. Center Provo 374-5520 www.artista.net UVSC nursing students presented the information at a fourth-grade level, explaining what diabetes is, how to take care of it, what a day is like for someone with diabetes, signs and symptoms of problems, and most importantly, that children chil-dren with diabetes are just like any other kids. A teddy bear was used to show injection sites, a story was read about a child with diabetes, and a demonstration was given as to how to test blood sugar levels. Initially the project was only going to be done at one school, however, word spread of the program's success and another elementary school asked the nursing students to present their project to their students. "At the beginning of the semester many of the students are a little apprehensive to work on these service projects," proj-ects," said Lori Barber, as-. as-. sociate professor of nursing. "After their experience serving serv-ing and teaching these people, and seeing the results of their service, students are very appreciative of the program. Many students keep in touch with the agencies they helped and continue their service even after the class is over." Another group of students taught two groups of senior citizens the importance of keeping track of their medical medi-cal and health histories. The students constructed packets for the seniors that included a medication record, doctor's information, health history, living will information, place for their insurance cards, and a form to let family members know where their important information is kept. The packet, if kept updated, will allow for better continuity of care when seniors change doctors, go to the hospital, change pharmacies, etc. The seniors appreciated the packets pack-ets because health history often of-ten becomes blurred and many have difficulty remembering which medications they were taking, or certain parts of their health histories when asked by health care providers. At the end of the semester, Barber counted the number of participants in the student's projects. There were more than 1,500 people that were directly taught by the 27 students stu-dents in one class. She teaches this class once a semester. boring districts. With the new rates a substitute substi-tute will receive an increase from the present $47 daily rate to $55. Individuals with current cur-rent Utah teaching licenses will receive $65. An additional $5 a day will be paid to those who substitute at extended day or productivity schools where longer lon-ger hours are required. Substitutes who teach every day for a long-term assignment assign-ment will receive a daily rate of $75, beginning on the 21st day. "Assigned Substitutes" with a permanent position in a school will remain at the $67 pay rate. Another new benefit to Alpine Al-pine District substitute teach-. ers is the recent upgrade of the substitute calling system to include the online browser allowing al-lowing them to view potential assignments and to use various options available.
