After leaving the NBA, and taking a couple of occupational detours, Judkins found a way into coaching. He was able to get into contact with Utah coach Rick Majerus through some mutual acquaintances. Judkins started as a part-time member of Majerus' coaching staff in 1989, and worked his way into a full-time position as an assistant coach. As an assistant coach, Judkins' recruiting abilities were instrumental in the Utes' success in the '90s, which included regular trips to the NCAA tournament. He played an important role in bringing in players like Keith Van Horn, Andre Miller, Mike Doleac, Hanno Mottola, Alex Jensen, and Trent Whiting. After 10 years working with Majerus, however, it was time tofinda new challenge. "I learned a lot from him," Judkins said of his former boss. "I learned a lot of good things. He knows it [the game of basketball] well." U-Wire Seven adopted children killed infieryFlorida crash LAKE BUTLER, Fla.— Seven adopted children from a single household were killed Wednesday in a fiery crash when their car was crushed between a truck and a stopped school bus in rural northern Florida. The children, ranging in age from 15 years to 21 months, were alone in the car, headed toward their home about two miles north of the crash site. The truck hit them from behind, pushing their car into the bus and causing the car to burst into flames, police said. "It's a very chaotic scene," said Lt. Mike Burroughs of the Florida Highway Patrol. "It's just a mangled, charred mess." Everyone in the car was killed, including the 15-year-old girl who was driving illegally. It was unclear why the children were unaccompanied. Burroughs identified the adoptive mother as Barbara Mann. He did not have further details about the family. Evidence from the scene showed that the truck, which was carrying bottled water, did not brake before hitting the car on the two-lane road, Burroughs said. The bus ended up 200 feet from where the car struck it, and the cab of the truck lay overturned near the scene, Burroughs said. The bus was at an approved bus stop, but it was not immediately clear whether children were getting Barbara Mann, center, is consoled at the scene of a three-vehicle crash south of Lake Butler, Fla., on or off. where seven children in a car were killed Wednesday.

The Dixie State College cafeteria, Red Rock Cafe\ allows students to eat wellbalanced meals, but some students living on campus are concerned with its hours and prices. Martin Peterson, director of campus dining, said the dorms have a contract with the Red Rock Cafe. At the beginning of each semester, students living in either the Nisson Towers or Shiloh Hall are required to buy a meal plan with their room. DSC offers three meal plans to the students- $595 (meal plan A), $695 (meal plan B) and $795 (meal plan C). "The [dorm] rooms don't have kitchens or any way for students to cook meals," Peterson saM.
