Life editor In July, the school of humanities, arts & social sciences (HASS) divided into two different institutions/ with most of the arts separating to form their own department. At UVSC, all liberal arts programs existed within HASS. With the new university status, the school was split in two to create the college of humanities with six departments (English, history and political science, philosophy, etc.) while the school of arts incorporated the remaining four subjects (music, theater, dance and art & visual communication) as well as the Woodbury Museum, currently located at the Orem University Mall. The decision to make the split was based on the issue of size. Most of the performing arts departments, dance in particular, were growing exponentially and requiring more space. Also, future graduate programs may be implemented and as one entity, there would likely be confusion with managing administrative burdens-one more reason for the split.

News Editor If there is one class that could possibly benefit every student at UVU it is "Language: A Most Dangerous Possession." Scott Abbott and Alex Caldiero are teaming together to bring students the chance to learn more about language and furthermore, themselves. According to Caldiero, every person is affected by language and is surrounded by the cause and effects of words. "Of all the things that we have as human beings, language is the most dangerous of all the things we possess," Caldiero said when talking about the importance of the class. The class has been offered in the past and is taught in a non-traditional manner, by two instructors instead of one. Abbott said, "Really interesting things happened the last time when I brought in what I knew and [Caldiero) didn't know and he brought in what he knew that 1 didn't know. Then you add the whole mix of good students who each have things they know that they can bring to it." Caldi- "It's kind of veryopen to a lot of possibilities." Alex Caldiero ero added, "It's kind of very open to a lot of possibilities.*1 In this class students take their ideas and beliefs and throw them in the blender and see if any new viewpoints come out of it. "Part of what we did in class was to make them very uncomfortable and uncertain about things they'd just been certain about. Not in a way that pretended that we knew, but just pointing out that their confidence was based on assumptions that probably didn't hold," Abbott said. UTAH VALLEY Abbott and Caldiero have presented an opportunity for students to come into a different atmosphere inside the classroom. It is a place to discuss, to disagree and most important to really learn. "For me, one of the things that is really wonderful is when everybody feels a certain level of safety among these dangerous things, and that really makes things happen," Caldiero said. At the conclusion of the semester, the students will attend a performance given by Caldiero. "We give them all these perspectives and then they witness a poet using language and thinking about language. They just have all these rich resources to talk about it," Abbot said. "Language: A Most Dangerous Possession" is being offered MWF from 11:00 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. Register for the class under HUM 320R, IS 3500 or COMM 350R. Yohannes, a 21-year-old former UVU student is appealing his third-degree felony conviction for being in possession of his roommate's credit card in the glovebox of his car without his permission. Yohannes was arrested in June 2007 and was sentenced in March. He also faces the risk of deportation, but these proceedings are on hold. If Yohannes' appeal is not granted, deportation remains a possibility. Yohannes i§ in the U.S. on political asylum from Ethiopia, a fact that could render the deportation process more difficult. from' A1 "We will probably collect data this semester, then we will move forward from there," said Lesli Baker, UVU Library assistant director of public service. "However, if we're getting really strong input to extend the hours, we could start earlier." There's been some speculation that having the library open on Sunday could prove to be a valuable asset to the UVU community. Being open on Sunday could bring in a new group of students who feel that it is an ideal time and space for studying. "I feel that the library is filling a role on campus that other places in the valley have been filling in the past, giving students a proper en- vironment to study in," said Student Body President Joseph Watkins. "I also feel that the library is such a great asset for students." If the survey shows that a large amount of students would use the space during those times, then the library hours will change to accommodate the students' needs.
