Dan Guthrie, a weatherman from KSL, was at the Four Corners Monument. He introduced students from DSU including Krissia Beatty, a DSU alumna and Miss Utah. "DSU was the ideal choice to showcase the values and strengths of Utah, as Dixie students live their new school tagline: active learning, active life," Sharp said. Sky Crystal, a junior marketing major from Kimberly, Idaho, and the.marketing manager for DSU Student Association, was among the nearly 50 students on the show. "We represented the Dixie life and built a reputation to the nation about what DSU has to offer for younger generations," Crystal said. Student Body President Matt Devore, a seniorintegrated studies major from Mesquite, Nevada, also appeared on the broadcast. Devore said students from DSU got this opportunity because Sharp coordinated with the Utah Office of Tourism and made the opportunity to be on the show happen. "What we hope to achieve is simply getting the DSU name out there," Devore said. Students wore DSU merchandise such as foam fingers, hats and flags "to show school spirit," Devore said. The students started broadcasting at 5 a.m. as "The Today Show" began airing at 7 a.m. Eastern Time. The students were broadcast on NBC every half hour for about seven minutes each segment from 9 a.m. local time. Guthrie joked about the apparel students were wearing on the show. "There's a couple of folks in shorts," Guthrie said. "You guys are definitely from the St. George 7-- area." Roker ended the show by placing the "Rokerthon" flag in the Utah pörtion of the Four Comers Monument. Scott Brumfield is stepping down as head coach of Dixie State University's football team.
