Hart, a high school senior, met Salgado before his compelling performance in "An Evening of Conscience" at Kingsbury Hall Although Hart has followed Salgado's work since she was in fifth grade, she has only dreamed of meeting him in person. Hart's family surprised her with a flight to Salt Lake City and tickets to Salgado's exhibit and show as a combination birthday, graduation and Christmas present. "I had been thinking about what I'd say to him for hours, days, if not weeks," Hart said. "It's just very overwhelming and nerve-wrecking because he means so much to me." Hart's mother, Wendy Hart, came along to meet Salgado because she knew this was going to be an experience that would change her daughter's life. "Her love for Salgado started the moment she picked up a camera," Wendy Hart said. "His job is the one that she dreams to be doing someday." Whitney Shingleton, volunteer developer at The Leonardo where Salgado's photographs are being displayed, was the primary planner of the meeting. "Helping to fulfill a dream for someone has been an amazing and touching experience. I hope that it sends a message to other students who are looking for inspira- Art under wraps for World AIDS Day Attila Arlce covers a portrait In the Union Thursday in honor of AIDS Awareness Day's "A Day Without Art," sponsored by the Student Health Advisory Committee and Student Health Services. Art throughout the Union and the Marriott Library was shrouded to remind students that each Individual life makes a contribution to the world and AIDS unnecessarily takes lives every day. Sce S A L G A D O Page 3 Gingrich says United States is at crossroads Steve Gehrke Chronicle Editor in Chief In order to save the future of America, young people must dream big, work hard, learn everyday, enjoy life and be true to themselves, said former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich. Several U College Republicans and Hinckley Institute staff members heard Gingrich speak Thursday evening at the Downtown Marriott Hotel. Gingrich said the nation is in trouble, but because the United States functions as an organic body served by organic leaders, there is still hope. "Countries can die," he said. "But Washington grew and learned every day of his life. There was no single moment when he became Washington." In addition to encouraging the nation's future leaders, Gingrich warned the crowd of local politicians and general public that the United States is being rocked by a plethora of challenges at once and the very existence of our nation is in jeopardy. One way to stop the United States from wilting, Gingrich said, is for the government to allow competition in the private sector. "I am not for a weak government," Gingrich said. "I am for a limited government. The government we have How to Deposit Money on Your UCard Online Method 1. Log on: / ' " wmfMcard.titah.edu Chronicle Asst. News Editor 3.

Gingrich said the United States is currently under siege like a ship being threatened by five "waves:" nuclear and biological weapons, a continuing assault on American culture, competition with China and India, a struggle with the current state of health care and a wave of science and technology. "People have a deep sense that the challenges are larger than the solutions," Gingrich said. "They really want to see us think through what we're do- Students and faculty members can now deposit money onto their UCard via the Internet. Since June 2005, the programming creator of Blackboard Inc. has delayed the launch of the Web site because of different technical errors. "This is a pretty big step in expanding the UCard," student UCard Director Eric Hu said. "I think it will take a little time to build up steam, but in the long term, it's a very big step." Because the creation of the system is out of the control of U administration, Hu describes it as "overly complicated." For example, when students log into WebCT, campus e-mail, campus information system or the student portal accounts, they type the same account number, the letter "u" followed by their student number, and password. But to log into their UCard account, a student excludes typing the first two zeros of the student number. If guests want to deposit money onto someone else's UCard account, they use the four-digit number under the student's name instead of the ID number. "We are appealing to Blackboard to change their program," Hu said. The Blackboard program is still in beta form and is not a finished product, Hu said. The online system will take all major credit cards: American Express, MasterCard, Visa and Discover, with a 3 percent convenience fee for the transaction. Besides the UCash online accounting function, users can have a personalized calendar, post announcements for other users to see, send e-mail and create an address book. Users can modify their account to display what they want when they log on. Also, by clicking on the tab "Useful Stuff," users can use tools such as a calculator, dictionary and thesaurus and check the weather by zip code. Student government leaders are expanding the UCard services both on and off campus. Currently more than 16 offcampus sites accept the UCard, and most offer a discount for users. Less than 20 vending machines on campus have UCard readers, but when the U renews its contract with Coke in the summer of 2007, it plans to add to the agreement the need to stay up to date with current technologies, including the UCard.

Representatives from the Lesbian Gay Student Union were tabling in the Union building to promote World AIDS Day when a young man began crumpling their handouts and refused to leave them alone. "He kept walking past saying, 'F*** queers,1 flipping us off and trying to,tear down our sign," said Thomas Nelson, sophomore in communication and copresident of the LGSU. Nelson was joined by John Spillman, a senior in political science and sociology, and Mell Bailey from Salt Lake Metro, a newspaper for the homosexual community. "I've been to every campus around, and I've never seen that before," said Bailey, who made the call. Nelson said he was grateful for the quick response from campus security. "We appreciate that this is the first and only incident like this so far this year," he said of the harassment. Bailey said she only wanted the young man to leave them alone. "I didn't want it to be such a big deal," she said of the five security personnel who detained the young man. Spillman, Bailey and Nelson decided not to press charges after the young man apologized for his actions. UUPD Public Information Officer Lynn Rohland has not returned phone calls to provide more information about the young man. Andrew Kirk Remembering a leader Faculty, students to celebrate life of former dean Robert Olpin Andrew Kirk Chronicle Asst. News Editor Big losses are hard to overcome. Although Robert Olpin, former dean of the College of Fine Arts, died from complications following a stroke Nov. 5, the U and Salt Lake City's art community are still grappling with the loss. "There's a huge vacancy left by his passing/' said Clayton Williams, Olpin's co-founder of the U's Utah Arts Institute and close friend who spoke at his funeral. The College of Fine Arts is holding a special tribute to-Olpin with some of his family members this afternoon from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Alvin Gittins Gallery, located in the Art Building. "A lot of people couldn't go to the funeral, so it's a tribute to celebrate his life and legacy," said Elizabeth Peterson, chairwoman of the art and art history department. "He'll be missed as a professor, as a graduate adviser, as the director of the Utah Arts Institute, as an author, speaker...there are many seats left empty because of his going at the young age of 65," Williams said. ; Even though he's gone, many of Olpin's final projects are still coming out, like Painters of the Wasatch Mountains, co-au- See ROBERT OLPIN Page 3. |
