Martinez said her mother gave her strength as she grew up and helped push her as she was getting her education. When she moved I mm New Mexico lo Utah in 1990, she suffered from a culture shock because of the lack of diversity, Martinez said. She said she was surprised to find racist people on the university level. Martinez said she has heard comments from professors, such as: "Blacks and Latinos inherit a lower IQ in their genes," "Women should slay at home" and "Islanders are inherently more violent than other cultures." Even through this conflict she has maintained her strength, Martinez said. "1 carry on a legacy of a tortilla maker who taught me the power of women," she said.

According to Farrar, this helped make them a stronger team and gave them more personality. However, she stills feels dhat their team can get better before they head to the nationals. "It was an honor to win second place, but there's room for improvement," she said. With hard work, Farrar said she is confident WSU's teams will be a strong competitor at the national competition. Gu Huzza agrees they will be competitive, even though they are still a "very new team." WSU has only participated in mock trial competitions for the last three years, when Guliuzza started the program. In the future, Guliuzza hopes to gel scholarships for the students on mock trial and have summer workshops for high school students who are interested in competing. By Deanne W. Chaston online edi lor-The Signpost After 3 p.m., don't call for a taxi, call for a bus. Weber State University's shuttle buses offer students free rides until 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 5 p.m. on Friday. After 3 p.m., the shuttle service's cell phone is on for students to call when they need a ride. "I still don't think a lot of people even realize that we have this service," said Rusty Allen, a full-time shuttle bus driver and student majoring in mechanical engineering. "Those that do use it pretty regularly."Regularly results in 80 to 150 calls every day, Allen said. The calls on the cell phone result in a regular crowd every semester. Allen enjoys the students he meets while driving the shuttle bus at night. "it's funner to drive at night than it is during the day because you get to know people rather than faces," he said. Allen is just one of the three drivers who circle WSU's campus until . 5 p.m. and remains on call until 10 p.m. After 5 p.m., the night drivers will make exceptions to the regular route to pick up students right where they are. But only if the students call first. The drivers will drive down ihe road that ends near the back of the library and the Collett Art building, or park right next to the sidewalk on the north side of the Shepherd Union Building to pick up students. "We're just here to service the students," said Roger Johnson, police captain and fire marshal at WSU. Johnson said the students who do not want lo buy parking passes and . those who take night classes create a huge need for the service. "Who wants to walk to the Dee Events Center from campus?" Johnson said. "Besides, it the bus is heated and air conditioned." Despite the airconditioning, more students use the late shuttle bus service in the winter than during warmer times, Allen said. However, it's becoming more steady as people find out the service is available, he said. The idea for an after-hours shuttle serv ice began two years ago after the campus police had been participating in similar services. "Nobody wanted to take ownership of the night-time escort," Johnson said. When the police department was in charge of escorting students alter hours, the officers often were too busy to help students out, Johnson said. Often, students would have to wait up to an hour before an officer coidd assist them. "It was just not good public relations to wait for the police department lo show up," Johnson said. When the university purchased a small shuttle bus two years ago, Johnson came up with the idea for the escortshuttle service. "Everyone doesn't want to call the police just for a ride," Allen said. "But everyone's somewhat comfortable calling a bus." f Western Colorado Angus Association's 23rd Annual Sale Saturday, March 13, 1:00 pm Joe Goggins, Actioneer Western Slope Livestock Over 200 Bulls with Top Genetics .
