Show Wednesday, June 16, BENN10N continued from page 1 In order to make its transitions smoothly, both Smith and Snow agree that the center needs to increase campus involvement and awareness. One of the bigger efforts aimed at campuswide involvement is the pending University Service Council a council dedicated to community action composed of representatives from many different groups. "I am really excited about the council," Snow said. "We're going to put on some major service projects that will involve all of campus. We want to be one of the players on the merry-go-round- ," Smith said. Although increased campus involvement is necessary for the center to accomplish its goals, Smith and Snow said that there are a number of stigmas, often unfounded, that keep interested students from seeking out the center's services. "There are lots of stigmas," Smith said. "Some people still see service as punishment There are religious and politi- - Utah Chronicle wDaily 2004 cal stigmas, too." Smith said that most, if not all of the stigmas are unrealistic. "Actually, a couple of years ago the former Bennion stu- dent president conducted a survey of what type of people are involved," Smith said. "Turns out, the most valid prediction of who will get involvedis other campus involvement People who are involved elsewhere are more likely to be involved here. The least important factors actually turned out to be political and religious affiliation." Some students might feel that they are underqualified to hold a position in the center, but Snow said that is not often the case he is a good example of this fact himself. "I have moved through at least some of the ranks, but that isn't always necessary," Snow said. "There are lots of leadership opportunities for rookies." Smith agreed. x x A U ' continued from page ! 1 Of the issues related to pov- erty, he said, "These are dear to my heart I came today to make sure you knew I cared."

PLASMA SERVICES RATTLESNAKE Library offers free software classes to students, faculty Lonny Danler Photo Editor Free classes at the U may sound unbelievable to some, but the Marriott Library offers many free classes for U students and faculty. Ranging from video editing, digital photography and Photoshop classes to Dreamweaver, Excel and PowerPoint classes, each semester the Library Instruction Division of the Marriott Library hosts a series of beginning and intermediate classes to help those interested get a jump start with their learning. "The classes give students and staff an opportunity to get exposed to the software," said Robert Stroud, a supervisor at the Multimedia Center in the library. Stroud also teaches the video editing classes. "Often after they have learned some of the basics, the students can go through and start tinkering with the programs themselves." Ben Martin, a physics major and attendee at the class, agreed. "The classes are pretty basic, but that's what they're there for, just to get you started." he said. Martin, who attended the class mostly as a hobbyist said he has been into digital photography for a long time and wanted to learn more about video editing. "I have a bunch of family home videos that I want to convert to DVD," he continued from page There are some misconceptions about what people should do in case of a bite. "I've read about people who have used the old X incision, and they can't use their hand anymore because in a panic they cut too deep through ligaments," Landry said. "What's more, when you cut...you open up blood vessels and spread the venom."

"It seems like a lot of people could benefit from the classes," Doenges said. "A lot of the questions people ask at the multimedia counter could be answered in the class." However, Stroud recognizes that the classes aren't for everyone. "They are often too basic for people," he said. Stroud also added that he would usually tailor the classes to the interests of the attendees and do whatever he could to help the students with their questions.
