News Editor This fall, the U will become one of the only two schools in Utah offering courses on the Navajo language. U students, both Navajo and non-Navajo, have expressed interest in taking the new language class offered this fall, said Professor Anthony Shirley, instructor for the course. "The class reflects the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of the Navajo Nation in the state of Utah," said Mushira Eid, chairwoman of the languages and literature department and professor of Arabic and linguistics. The Navajo Nation is the biggest American Indian reservation in the world, reaching parts of Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. Non-Navajos are interested in the course because they plan to work within the Navajo community after they graduate, Shirley said. The class will begin with a two-week history of the Navajo people. "To understand the language, one must know the people and its history," Shirley said. The U is one of just 20 institutions in the nation offering the language course. Navajo is a dying language. Roughly 63 percent of Navajos speak the language, and the majority of those who speak it are older than 28, Shirley said. "This shbws that Navajo is a language not being learned by the new generation," he said. The Navajo people and language have played an important role in the United States' history. During World War II, the U.S. military used the Navajo language as a secret communication code to defeat the Japanese. The code was never broken. The class is recommended for students interested in the American West and areas of study such as anthropology, archeology, history, languages and linguistics, as well as students who are looking for language classes to satisfy their B.A. language requirement, Eid said. "In the long run, this course will certainly complement Navajo Fast Facts Navajo Nation is the largest reservation in the United States, situated on 27,000 square miles of land within Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. Population of Navajo Nation is 180,402. Navajo code was never broken during World War II. Source: www.navajobusiness.com the curriculum (for students) who may perhaps be taking American Indian studies as a minor or may perhaps be working in any field that has high numbers of Native American communities," Shirley said. "The U of U is in this continuous effort to work towards diversity. Our courses should also reflect that. We are also working to eventually put together a Navajo traditions and culture course." Students will receive four credit hours from the language course. Course enrollment is not yet full. "We hope to have enough enrollments in the class to allow us to offer a second-year Navajo," Eid said. pmuir@chronicle.utah.edu CRIMSON NIGHTS LOSES GUARANTEED FUNDING UPC turn to the Union for more funds.

During her time at the station she has had the opportunity to do a wide variety of jobs. "I do a lot of research and run the teleprompter for the shows we have. I also write blurbs about the different shows and post them on the Web site. I do editing for certain promos and help to receive tapes from other sources," Cannon said. Interning at KUED has allowed Cannon to broaden her field of interest, but also focus on her specific areas of interest. The position's flexibility allowed her to work as much or as little as she wanted. Ryan Hansen, the productions intern at KUED, spent his time working on the documentary "Lost Canyon" under Ken Verdoia. During his internship Hansen has done work similar to Cannon, such as logging tapes and carrying equipment. He has also had the opportunity to follow those creating the documentaries to different areas around the world. He recently followed and filmed archaeologists as they discovered hidden American Indian artifacts from the 1300s. He hopes to use his KUED experience when he travels to Africa someday. Hansen said he has felt as though he belongs at KUED and was welcomed by all those whose paths he crossed. "I absolutely adore every minute I spend at KUED. They make me feel like part of the organization and that will help me in the future," Hansen said. Internships at KUED become available as extra help is needed. In addition to the Speaking for Women's Health internship available next spring, the station expects openings for its public affairs internship this fall and the productions internship next summer. Applications for fall positions are due in August. More information can be found at www. Zcued.org.

Eric Lund, paleontology lab manager at the Utah Museum of Natural History, scans various dinosaur bones in the basement of the museum Monday. A significant portion of the collection currently housed in the basement will have public viewership at ' '>n the new museum location under construction at Research Park. Lund said he visits the basement "on a regular basis to get examples...(because) we're limited for space in the lab." He also said that "(the museum) is an old building that was not designed as a museum and was a library first. There are no climate controls and the layout is awkward."

Since 2001, Congress has approved $13 million for the museum project, and may approve another $2 mill inn during the next legislative session. Project leaders are looking to match the $15 million in federal money with private donations. "There is a lot of interest among do- nors hi the new museum," Carpenter said. . .
