Originally from Los Angeles, Stern received his bachelor's degree in biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz and an MFA in dance from the California Institute of the Arts. He has taught at WSU since 1993 as part of the dance faculty and was the Endowed Artist for the College of Arts and Humanities from 1999-2002. In addition, Stern works with the Kennedy Center as a teaching artist and is also a director and founder of a dance company based in California. Stern said his background gives him a lot of experience relevant to his new position with the Train FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2012 5 S cholarships continued from front Honors Program. "It's a good program," he said. "I want to maintain its strength and then see if there are other things that could happen. I'm not going to change the program fundamentally, but I do think there are things I can do to enrich and improve and enlighten." One of the changes Stern said will take place is the exploration of what connections are possible between the Honors Program and the Community Involvement Center, as far as outreach opportunities go. "I think that the Honors students and teachers have a lot that they could share," he said. Stern said he wants to get the two programs more connected. Another change Stern said he intends is to make the Honors Program more widely known to students. "I think that Professor Stern will be a great addition to the program," said Leanna Riddle, Honors Program office manager. "He's full of enthusiasm. He loves the students." Honors faculty also said Elsley has been dearly missed by staff and students alike. Marilyn Diamond, an Honors program adviser, said "almost every day a student will come in and say, 'How's Dr. Elsley doing?' She is much loved and everyone hopes the best for her."

"Preference is given to single women and single parents," Cragun said. Nikki Nicholas, coordinator for Shepherd Union programs, said she got to know Lindquist in the Putting Students Through program. "As the gallery director, I'm always looking to do a show for our opening show at the start of school that's related to Weber State," Nicholas said, "and the Lindquists have so many ties to this school, it seemed perfect." Nicholas said the sisters are both nontraditional students and passionate about funding scholarships for similar students.

The task of putting on a TV show requires a great amount of time and effort, but despite the time commitment, the job can be very rewarding, according to Lamb, who said there's nothing quite as good as helping someone out. "Some of these eating places are one person run- ning everything," Lamb said. "To be able to hear how they all got started and the passion they have for the food they make and the satisfaction they get . . . it makes us feel like we are helping the owners just a little bit by sharing with the community what they have to offer."

"You go to other states or to places like New York, and you mention Utah, and people say it's a really uptight state with religious people and not really fun," Acosta said. Last year, the event spawned 600 international news articles, according to Porter. "I believe it probably did change a lot of people's perceptions of the people of Utah," he said. With few controversial bills to protest in 2012, the aim for this year's Undie Run is to once again change the view of Utahns. "Last year it was kind of billed as a protest; this year we're trying to be a little more positive," Porter said. "We're trying to change the world's perception of the people of Utah." Last year, the unanticipated growth of event attendees gave Porter only six weeks to get the proper permits and police protection needed to host such a large event. Porter had to resort to using personal funds to pay for permits and police presence. He said he felt he had some resistance from city officials in hosting the event. However, after the success of last year's Undie Run, he said he has received more support, and Salt Lake City has donated the use of the public library and police services free of charge. "This year, the city of Salt Lake has been way more cooperative with it," Porter said. Former Salt Lake City mayor Rocky Anderson, who spoke at last year's event, will be back this year, and event organizers are in talks with two other Utah senators to attend. Both Democrats and Republicans are expected to be supporting the event and speaking. One big aim of organizers this year is to get people to register to vote. They are also encouraging attendees to write messages all over their bodies about what they believe or the reason they came to the run. "We don't tell people, `Hey, go write this all over your body," Porter said. "People just write what they believe." Last year, attendees of the event wrote messages supporting everything from the relaxation of alcohol laws, to gay rights, to more sex education. Thousands of articles of clothing were also donated to the homeless at the last run, according to Porter, who wants to repeat this for the 2012 Undie Run.

So many people attended the 2011 Utah Undie Run, a total of 2,270, that it made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for the "largest gathering of people wearing only underpants/ knickers," said Sara Wilcox, a spokeswoman for the London-based Guinness World Records Inc.
