The Signpost - Friday, May 19, 1989 3 Annual fish derby held at duck pond Chip Parkinson Contributing Writer Ogden area handicapped children experienced a fisherman's dream come true on Thursday. One hundred and fifty students from Ogden City and Weber County school districts participated in the annual fishing derby at Lindquist Plaza (duck pond). About 400 trout were donated and planted by the Utah Fish and Game Department in the smallest part of the pond so fishing couldn't have been better. In its third year, the event has become a popular occasion with handicapped children and students throughout Weber County. "People are calling to see if their kids can come down. In fact, this year we had to start rotating schools so everyone would get a chance to participate at least once," said Gary Pierce, President of the Alumni Student Ambassadors. The event was the idea of WSC President, Steven Nadauld. "President Nadauld loves the beauty of the duck pond and being a fisherman himself, he thought a fishing derby would be a great idea," administrative assistant, Julie Austin said. The derby is sponsored by the President's office in association with the Student Alumni Ambassadors, Physically Challenged Student Services, Physical Plant, and the Utah Fish and Game Department. Mary Cheney, a teacher at Gramercy Elementary said, "The kids have been talking about it all week. For some of them, it's the first time they have had a fishing pole in their hands. It's really a wonderful idea." One youngster, holding his catch, said, "I'm gonna name it Peter and take him home for dinner." Open Hour panel defines fHispanicf By Larry Richardson Staff Reporter Why are Hispanic students having a hard time at Weber State, was one of the topics discussed during an Open Hour panel discussion Thursday. "Lack of role models is one of our biggest problems here at Weber," said Anna Maria Garcia, a Weber student "The way we are looked upon by our professors and our other students is also a concern," Anna continued. Many of our Hispanic students have come from a society where the Hispanic population is the majority, "If you don't have a positive attitude about yourself when you get here, it's hard," said Jacob Cordova. "This is my country. I'm proud to be an American and also proud of my Mexican heritage," said Jim Sandiball. "When I served in Vietnam, no one asked my nationality. I was shot at for being an American." The discussion was centered around issues dealing with minorities. Mel Gillespie, wide range of cultural, ethnic, and geographic backgrounds. "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem," concluded Soriano. "We can no longer be part of the problem, now we need to be part of the solution." Shoplifter (cont'd from front page) tags are being placed on more of the clothing. "That'll take care of that part." He also said the bookstore relies heavily on clerks to detect shoplifters. It was a clerk who originally discovered Bugayong. "The clerk knew something was going on and we began watching," Schenck said. Schenck said there are other students shoplifting, as well. "The sad thing is that the bookstore doesn't pay for it, the students do." Schenck suggested students ask themselves which is more important their integrity and education or their need to shoplift "If they do get caught, they're going to be prosecuted and kicked out of school," Schenck said. director of the Multi Culture Center, hosted the Panel which consisted of Jim Sandiball (principal of Ogden High School), Louis Baroza (from Weber's career services center), Jessee Soriano, Rick Sline (Dean of Student Life), Henry Ibarguen (History professor), and students: Alexis Salvo, Jacob Cordova, Anna Maria Garcia, Deon Contraras, and Mike Orosco. "What is Hispanic?" Was one question asked by an audience member.
