Show 4 The Magna Times West Valley News, Thursday, March 14, 1996 Salt Lake Safe Place program moves forward by STEVE TITENSOR M.Ed. M.F.T. S.L. CO. YOUTH SERVICES CENTER On Sept. 8, 1994, the first. Safe Place site was introduced to the public. To date, 26 sites are open with others due to begin operation soon. Our next step is to get the word out to our clients about how to use Safe Place. School counselors, social workers, and psychologists have been introduced to Safe Place. They in turn are dispersing Safe Place cards to youth they work with as well as invite Youth Services to present to the school class by class or in multiples. One other way to get the Safe Place message to students is by Boys and Girls Clubs: Capitol West, Sugarhouse, South Salt Lake, Sandy, Murray, Poplar Grove. Visions of Altitude. S.L. County Recreation Centers: Kearns, Northwest, Redwood, East Millcreek, Central City, Magna, Copperview, Kiwanis Felt, Marv Jensen (South Jordan), Cottonwood Heights. showing Safe Place video tapes of various lengths over the closed circuit television network in each school. The important goal is for the message to get out and Safe Place cards in the hands of every 6th through 12th grader in Salt Lake County. The other great need is more Safe Place volunteers. More sites, more volunteers, more youth served! It is an ongoing, upward cycle of better outreach to Salt Lake County by this innovative collaboration between Youth Services and the community. The following is a list of Safe Place sites as of Feb. 26, 19: Greyhound Food Services. First Security Bank, Sugarhouse CPC Olympus View Hospital. Sunburst Auto II.

Army ROTC looking for alumni Photographs telling the history of the University of Utahs Army ROTC hang in the hallways of the military science building, but with students moving in and out of the program every four years, and department chairs and faculty changing every three, there are few people on campus who know much about the programs history. Lt. Col. Jeffrey Newey and Maj. Alan Arthur would like to change that. They are starting up the first alumni association for the U of Us Army ROTC, hoping to track down as many graduates as possible. But it has not been easy. The department only started keeping records on students in the 1970s, while the ROTC program was started in 1919. The task of finding students from those missing years has fallen to Arthur. He spent weeks poring over old U of U yearbooks, writing down the names of students featured on the ROTC pages. It was a tedious task. But it was kind of fun to look at cadets from different eras, Arthur said. Newey and Arthur have compiled a lengthy list of former students. They dont know where they are now, or whether they graduated from the program. They plan to turn the list over to the Us alumni association. It will run the names through a computer system that locates addresses and graduation dates. I dont know if this has been attempted in the past, all I know is we dont have an alumni association, and weve been told (by the Army) we need to have one, Newey said. They hope alumni can fill in some of those missing history gaps.

The program began in 1983 in Louisville, Kentucky, and has expanded across the country with 2,500 volunteers available to respond to youth experiencing difficult situations.' Each city's program, modeled after the Louisville one, coordinates the efforts of the designated youth shelters with about 6,000 local businesses and public institutions nationwide that provide the neighborhood Safe Place locations. In all, nearly 20,000 youth across the country have gone to Safe Place locations to ask for help.

Training its students to keep pace with rapid technological advances, Brigham Young Universitys communications department has launched the nations first student-ru- n multi-medi- a news service on the Internet. While the BYU communications a since multimedia news home-pag- e Sept. 1994, the redesigned service, BYU Newsline, is the first to utilize the staffs of the campus newspaper, The Daily Universe, and KBYU to update daily. Newsline BYU (http:newsline.byu.edu) came on line Jan. 8, 19. While other universities have developed electronic versions of their newspapers, no other university has integrated the products of both its broadcast and print journalism programs. The objective of BYUs online publication has been to serve as a bridge between the print and broadcast cultures as we try to develop a comprehensive newsroom that includes both, said Bill Porter, BYU department has maintained journalism program director. BYU Newsline is also intended to teach online publishing to students. The BYU Newsline pages are updated each weekday by the desk editors of The Daily Universe and KBYU. The service gives BYU alumni around the world the opportunity to read articles from the Sci-- fi We want to bring journalism students through Newsline so they can get experience in all areas ... print, electronic, and broadcast, said John Gholdston, managing director of The Daily Universe. The idea is to increase training between the various media that we see are merging together today. The service originally began as an experimental election database. Two students were assigned to create a web site where material could be stored related to the 1994 federal election races in Utah. The elections in 1994 was our first joint effort. We used the opportunity to combine all the elements into a multimedia project, Porter said. They established a homepage and related pages using the Mosaic browser. It contained news stories, biographies, and photos about candidates and the congressional races. The service now involves a growing number of students. To accommodate the growing student demand for training, the department has added classes in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the programming language used to publish on the Internet. BYU Newsline is best viewed using Netscape 1.1. fantasy convention Mar. 16 On Saturday, March 16, Cinemaholics will host its annual Convention at the Quality Inn in downtown Salt Lake City, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guests will include Star Trek actress Jennifer Hetrick, who has played Vash in both The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine.
