This is the West!" Moving from West Virginia has brought a lot of changes into the life of Rich McCormick who joined the College of Eastern Utah's faculty last fall McCormick has lived in Tennessee West Virginia Virginia and Maryland While in the East he taught business courses at community colleges Because of his expertise in administration he became Director of Institutional Research at Patrick Henry a community college in Virginia The last three years he became strictly administrative and began to miss being in the classroom This emptiness brought about a search for a new position which included administration and teaching This decision for a change in position brought him to Price where he is a hybrid half business instructor and half director of Institutional Research Students are people and not numbers in McCormick's classes "I am concerned about the cost of education” he said For the marketing research class he is currently teaching he searched until he found the textbook he wanted to use for under SIS instead of $50 He feels it is very important for students to get involved in their community nation and world A suggestion was given for all economics 101 students of ck ' De- on

achieving its mission and goals Adjusting to Price has been interesting for McCormick First there was the experience of watering his lawn and mowing it every other week instead of every other day and now it is the snow The temperature dropped 40 degrees and the altitude rose from 500 feet to 5000 feet Even his hobbies are changing McCormick wants to go exploring and camping and experience Western art because it is so different from what he is used to seeing All the mountains and wide open spaces bring a desire to get out and enjoy the envi- ronment McConnick is enjoying the change in lifestyle moving to Price has brought Even "the sun is brighter out here for some reason" he says as he puts the fallen sunglasses back on Gertrude his mallard duck tape caddy New faculty mambar Rich MeCormlck navar asks his studants According to coaches Neil Warren and Scott Pullan the current point totals do not include the points CEU acquired at the ASU tournament "Our debaters have been woridng hard and deserve this honor" said Warren "Later in the year aome of the larger schools may catch up to us because they have the resources and are able to travd to larger tournaments but our students can compete with the best of them and in addition they are fine to do what ha won’t do hlmaalf Help yourself and the world by Jamison Brown staff writer "Look people in the eye when speaking with them be with them walk 25 percent faster in the halls avoid the negative and take advantage of opportunities to stand up in front of a group and express yourself" Henrting Olsen a CEU business instructor said rhning a health forum last week Olsen has been motivating students for 17 yean and has come up with many self development tools "Every morning you can do something for yourself to feel better about the day” Olsen stated "I put a little Cannes on my lips and it gives me that extra confidence that I need" "I believe that each one of us is suffering from a thick Coke bottle glasses syndrome” Olsen stressed Debate and forensics first in nation Cross-Examinati- a relevant to the institution This staff writer The si v Hie team of Mac Webster The reasons for each may vary but there is truth in this statement It may have been created by your parents friends or just your own insecurities Parents tell their kids what they are doing focusing on the negative Friends call each other names and poke fun at one another every chance they geL Much of your self esteem is created by other people but ultimately it is entirely up to you Attitudes are rehearsed You tell yourself what you can and cannot do who you are and where you are going Olsen said A large spectrum of people exist in the world with many varieties of extremes For example: a person may be living a life of uncleanliness in body mind thoughts and deeds Another a perfectionist in everything: nothing out of place or in disarray Our goal should be to find ourselves somewhere in the middle and avoid the extremes Olsen believes You need to determine what your underlined principles arc what you would do something for Common underlined principles include: money family friends and yourself If the things that you are doing in life are in harmony with your underlined principles then you probably will feel good about "You need yourWlf and to accept things as they are or accept responsibility for change” Olsen said It is hard to stay happy in a society that is centered around the negative "Substitute positive things in your life don’t dwell on the negative Maintain a daily journal in which you focus on your natural abilities positive qualitieavictory lists and pay at least five sincere compliments each day to people you meet "My premise is that all of the world’s ilb could be solved if we could get people to feel better
