CLASS Kelly Bringhurst conducts a water chemisty lab with a group of students at Whites Catalina Island. Each year, physical and environmental students are able to travel on Landing to Catalina for four days to fulfill their lab credits, however that is about to change with the closure of Whites Landing. Whites Landing, had TRIP camp provided an edu- 1 Professor 1 past. Del Smith, assistant coordinator and professor of environmental science said Zion National Park could be a temporary alternative as well. Whites Landing is the most inexpensive camp on Catalina making the loss that much more devastating. Annie Howard, the program manager of the Whites Landing camp, said, "We make it affordable so they can enjoy the experience." Howard, having been part of one of the previous camps held on faculty to,adjust their own schedules. In communications and media studies there are faculty who teach e courses, which are also responsive intensive, said Department Chair Mark LaVoie. He said this means those classes require the professor to give feedback on papers from individual students. "By increasing some class sizes, what's happening is, if you had two sections before, you may have one class that is writing and responsive intensive," LaVoie said. "That also means that professor then has to pick up another class." Faculty are currently cational space as close to the wilderness as one can get while also being and reliable for the students and professors visiting. As DSU's motto is "active learning, active life" this lab alternative is a prime example of its educational goals. The professors who contribute to the four-da- y lab said they are sad to see it go. The science department takes hours, or even days out of their time to plan such a trip for students to have an alternative lab course that is not only educational, but unique. seen girl scout camps, boy scout camps and "The Catalina Experience" camp finally come to a close after 15 years. From grade school all the way up the to college-agecamps on Whites Landing have housed many people from all over. "We give kids a chance to see what they don't see in the city," Howard said. Bringhurst had first started Dixie State University's lab field trip to Catalina Island about five years ago and has been taking students back to Whites Landing every semester since.

"But I also think it's important to focus on women, what they have to say, their social impact issues and the things they're bringing to the table that we truly need to be focusing on." Former Miss Dixie Ella Barlow, a junior biology major from Eagle Mountain, said she cried a lot during dress rehearsals prior to the pageant. "I just feel secure," Barlow said. "I knew that if any of them won I was going to feel comfortable passing down the crown to them and they were going to take good care of this university and represent it well." Winners of the Miss Dixie pageant go on to compete for the Miss Utah title where they then have the opportunity to compete in Miss America. scheduled to teach up to four classes. In classes such as interpersonal communication, the pfoi'essor will teach the class on The time faculty sets aside for their families would also be affected, with professors potentially needing to take work home with them, LaVoie said.

Respectively, section one and section two. LaVoie said that if you consolidate one into another, that professor' is still under contract to teach another class to fill the four-clarequirement each week. He said the implication is that the professor teaching the course will not only have a larger class in their first section but the same size class for section two. This increases the workload of that professor, which potentially takes time away from their ability to efficiently grade students' work. writing-intensiv- ve extraordinary," Lacourse said. "Faculty may end up having four or five more students in a class. I think that most of the change is small, incremental, and gets us to that goal of 20 students per class average that we're shooting for." Lacourse said that class sizes and student to professor ratios are decided by accrediting organizations. He said there are standards and recommended class sizes accreditors set depending on the discipline, type of content and skill development in each course being offered. ss DO YOU HAVE ANY NEWS TIPS FOR US?
