The course, organized and taught by Molly Snaufer at the Nutrition Clinic, will be open to the public and is geared toward helping people lose weight and also offer tools and information on how to begin a healthy new lifestyle for the six-wee- k non-cred- it new year. Although a similar course was offered last semester, the material has been condensed into six weeks to accommodate students' busy schedules. Wednesday every Meeting evening from 5:45 to 6:45 p.m., the course will focus on a different health issue each session.

His students share his enthusiasm v v- - lan- demands passionate commitment, but, says Mixco, in the end it has many benefits. An important benefit is learning from other cultures to improve our own. "Our country may be one of the most developed in the world, but we are very barbaric when it comes to nature, those who live in rural circumstances cherish nature. We can learn a lot from other cultures, spiri- eyes, and I slowly began to enjoy solitude they lived in. They were comfortable with sitting side by side and not saying a word. It was the beauty of the place." Mixco said. Among the numerous artifacts that adorn Mixco's office, a tattered black and white photograph of an old Kiliwa man, Rufino, is suspended on the walL "Rufino was my guide, my interpreter and my father figure each year I went back. He taught me a lot...Eventually he became the source for most of my texts," Mixco such as vitamins and minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats function in the body. She'll also go over what foods are good sources for these nutrients, how to get the most out of exercising and provide information on dietary supplements. The course will offer tips on how to read nutritional labels while shopping at the grocery store and advice for dining out such as where to go, what to ask and how to order. To help at home, one of the six sessions will be a cooking demonstration giving help with menu planning, recipes and tips on how to make healthier foods. "It's not just for people trying to lose weight," said Snaufer in a recent interview. "Even for people without a weight problem," the course teaches how to organize a healthy lifestyle."

"His research is important because what he's doing right now is something I want to do in the future." Finding solutions on how to preserve languages are ideally left up to linguists, Mixco says. The responsibility lies in a linguist to help native communities learn about their language and to develop materials to help teach and preserve the language. "Ultimately, we want every linguist to be concerned with preservation, but government agencies should provide more money to foster programs within these communities and to train linguists," Mixco said. "Some communities have made an effort to keep their languages going. Families have taken it into their own hands. But as the average citizen, we should be supportive of different languages and cultures." Today, Mixco analyzes, describes and documents endangered Native American languages and explores methodologies and techniques to ensure their continuity from one generation to the next. He says there is still a vast amount of knowledge that can be absorbed from other cultures through language itself. "If a person can realize that every individual has some value, then they can slowly begin to know why preservation is important," Mixco said. "Some tribal cultures that wc have yet to learn about may know something about philosophy, art, science, medicine or literature that no other culture possesses." czhangchronicle.utah.edu FIRESTONE continued from page 1 Palestinians are about materialism, but increasing frustration and clashes of ideologies have turned them into a series of holy wars," Firestone said. Firestone also noted that militants from both sides are in the minority, but do much to control policies from their communities. "While both groups remain minorities in their communities, both groups wield an inordinate amount of influence within their religions," he said. abensonchronicle.utah.edu UTAH GEHETICS i continued from page for talented singers, dancers, actors, sound and lighting technicians, and stage managers for its 2003 summer season.

The program's research will focus on three main areas of interest. Hoidal will run a study looking for genes that make some people more apt to develop emphysema and other lung diseases. Scott Rogers, an associate professor of neurobiology and anatomy, will head up a study which will look for nicotine addiction genes in mice.

"This research really pushes the envelope," said Ray Gesteland, vice president for research and distinguished professor of human genetics.
