The study was conducted by Lynn White, associate breast-feeder- DNA topic White said, Perfectionism is reflected in formula feeders in that they can more precisely control the milk that the baby receives, White said. When participants were asked to indicate the reasons for their feeding preference three out of the five reasons for were centered on the baby. But only one out of five reasons were centered on the baby for formula feeders. breast-feede- rs By BRENT ALLEN Participants were also asked to rate the importance of 10 safety precautions on a scale of 1 (not at all important) to 4 (extremely important). Car seats and bathtub supervision received the highest rating, while removing plants from a babys reach received the lowest. They were trying to determine whether feeding preference would affect attitudes toward infant safety precautions. The results showed group differences on total safety and gates at the bottom of stairs. In both cases, formula feeders scored higher, suggesting that they believed these precautions were more important compared to Anyone who is not sure what to do to at least try (breastfeeding), Klienman said. And if they run into difficulties they should talk to a nurse, physician, or La Leche League member before quitting. However, White said breastfeeding may not be for everyone. If a mother is stressed while breast feeding, stress hormones can be passed through milk, the infant can pick up on the mothers tension, and the mother may not produce sufficient quantities of milk for their infant, White said. White said she would like this study on personality to contribute to the understanding of choices women make, and would like to be able to use the information theyve gathered to be available to others to counsel mothers and to target the fence sitters who may not know benefits of breastfeeding. This study is the first of three studies. White, Barney and Klienman said they would like to have as many of the same participants as possible come back in for the other two studies. The second study will be testing how women respond to physiological stress. breast-feeder- or physical psychological White illnesses that could change why she would breastfeed or formula feed. The study showed only one personality difference. Formula feeders were more perfectionistic than s. s. UNIVERSITY JOURNAL the The chad wont chafe elections in the future old punch-car- d voting system is out and the new federally mandated electronic voting system is in. The volunteers will still be there to assist in anyway they can, but the punch-car- d voting system they have known their whole life will be gone. Calvin Robinson, Washington County clerk, saic voters can expect to see booths w'ith ATM style machines where they can place their vote with relative ease and any questions they have can be diverted tc trained volunteers. Robinson said this is a fast and easy method ol voting. He also said Nevada has had the electronic voting system in place for more than 10 years anc every year they have been able to total the ballot count hours earlier than Utah. Electronic voting is secure, Robinson said. Each machine is individual and not networked in anyway tc another computer. Ballots are recorded on disk anc later the disk is taken from each machine and insertec to a central machine where the ballots are counted. This has all come about fast since the last electior and the Florida incident seems to be the cause, saic David Yardley, Iron County clerk. Yardley said Utah has never had a problem with the old punch card system. He said the cost of each of these machines is arounc $3,000. However, the county will receive federal aic that will help pay for each machine. The county will only have to pay about 5 percent of the actual cost which is about $300 per machine. mx of Convocation Speaker to talk of historical DNA wonders By SAMANTHA STAPLETON UNIVERSITY JOURNAL Bryan Sykes, professor of human genetics at the University of Oxford in England is this years Grace A. Tanner speaker for the final Convocation. Sykes topic of lecture is Secrets of the Human DNA. He is a world-clas- s scholar and a DNA said Neal Cox, associate vice expert, president for Student Services. Sykes has taught human genetics at Oxford since 1997, according to the SUU Convocations brochure. He also has served as a research fellow and lecturer at the Institute of Molecular Medicine at Oxford. I studied and researched inherited skeletal diseases, specifically brittle bone disease, Sykes said. The oldest skeletal DNA extract that he studied was d from a skeleton found in the European Alps, also known as the Ice Man, Sykes said. He found commonalities in DNA between the Ice Man and a friend of his, he said. Sykes will speak about his interest in DNA and 12,000-year-ol- promote thought about how its history, he said. (It) is the history of our species; its inherited by our ancient ancestors, Sykes said. The human race is interwoven; there are no sharp biological distinctions between race, he said. d DNA strand, Sykes Everyone has a said. Rhonda Gardner, administrative assistant for the Tanner Center, said Sykes has written the book The Seven Daughters of Eve. base-relate- Its a very fascinating book, Gardner said. (He) can trace anyone back to one of seven women. Sykes said the descendants of these seven women are in all countries. In the last 10 years, I have connected thousands of native Europeans together in one large family tree, Sykes said. Sykes won the Carter Medal from the British Society for Human Genetics in 1998 and has written more than 100 original publications about medical genetics and how it is applied to archaeology and human evolution, the brochure said. The Convocation will start at 11:30 a.m in the Auditorium. DEX members reach finals Eight members create rarity at competition By MELISSA NIELSEN UNIVERSITY JOURNAL Eight SUU Delta Epsilon Chi members competed in the International Career Development Conference in Orlando, Fla., and all eight placed in the final round. This is rare at any school to have everyone make the finals in the national competition, said Riley Van den Akker, DEX president. He said there were 80 to 100 people competing in every category and about 2,000 participants total from across the United States and Canada. I would be surprised if any other school got all their people in the finals, said Wayne Roberts, associate professor of marketing. It shows the excellence of SUU students, Van den Akker said. We have a remarkable business program that helps students apply their skills. Considering the amount of students who attended the competition, SUU competed well agamst such schools as the University of Connecticut and the University of Wisconsin, said Dustin Tallenco, a member of DEX and a senior business management major from Price. He said the students success was a result of the knowledge each gained from the business classes hes taken at SUU. Van den Aikker said this competition shows that employers in the real world would pick SUU students over other people. It says something about the quality of education at SUU, Roberts said. He said this competition helped with recruiting efforts to SUU and Utah in general. DEX will focus on recruiting transfer students and high school students to the club. This DEX experience really builds and poise, Roberts said. I think that is why the SUU students did so well. ccibaiu mm iugji mHifHisgii Money given to SkillsUSA BY THE JOURNAL STAFF to SkillsUSA in the amount school year, During its final meeting of the 2002-200- 3 the C&O Assembly delegates allocated the remainder of the assembly account funds to the executive account of the C&O vice president.

When she looked at him, she said she saw a knife that resembled a steak knife. The victim then said Taunton threatened her to do what he said or he would kill her. The victim said they got on the freeway and Taunton told her he was looking for a place to dump her body. At mile marker 33, Taunton turned around and told the victim he needed to talk to his sister. He spoke of remorse for the crime committed and told her how bad he treated rape suspects when they were in jail with him. He told her he wasnt going to jail because rapists in jail get the worst treatment, the victim said. I used to be so mean to rapists and now I became one, the victim quoted Taunton as saying. They drove past the crime scene because Taunton thought he left the knife there. After driving around the area and not finding it, they returned to Petersons house. There Taunton told the victim not to speak about the assault, the victim said. However, she mouthed help me to Peterson, while Taunton stood behind her. Peterson then grabbed the victim and took her in the bedroom. The victim told Peterson Taunton raped her and Peterson told her father, who happened to be at the house. He beat Taunton with his cane and Peterson took the victim to the police station. The police station was locked, so the victim went to Valley View Medical Center. A rape kit was used on the victim and an ER nurse called police. fts 5 New voting on way FOR THE UNIVERSITY JOURNAL Nate Badfield of Delta plays the harmonica while James Moore, a senior biology major from Phoenix, plays the bass during Monday afternoons Earth Day celebration concert.
