Ute shooting guard Julie Larsen, who has "slid down a glacier," is a big Ja Rule supporter. High Point's Joel Flow- ers and Mike Jefferson are both "huge" Little Wayne fans, and roughly 87 percent of current NBA players consider a Young Geezy concert one of the most illuminating experiences on the planet. It's ironic that athletes complain about getting a bad rap when they have such a profound love forbad rap. Of the 50 or so media guides HIGH PAYING SUMMER JOBS • Make great money.

DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING? •V.-7 But for many college students today, this point comes much too soon. College students across the world enjoy good health, friends, social supj>$rt, and above all, a boundless world of opportunity and potentiair§Jiead of them. But with the death of a close family member'Sf friend, all of these hopes, dreams and aspirations can come qiiicikly crashing down leaving among the ashes a sense of betrayal^ anger, and abandonment. I f your Doctor is saying you have STREP THROAT, you may qualify for a Clinical Research Study of tonsillitis and pharyngitis. General Requirements: 12 years of age or older Not allergic to penicillins Able to swallow tablets of research medication Have not taken an antibiotic in the last 30 days Must have a clinical diagnosis of acute tonsillitis and/or pharyngitis with sore throat and other symptoms of tonsillitis and/or pharyngitis • Be in good general health The consequences of these events in a college students life can be destructive and sometimes fatal. Regret and guilt are common emotions; People often feel ashamed of not doing more while their friend o^ family member was still alive, while others feel guilt for having ftiiiat a party or forgetting about the loss for a few hours or days. Degf&sion sinks in for many of these students, most of which feel completely isolated and alone. Patients receive: • Research related medical evaluation • Study medication I f interested, please ask your health care provider for details, or call: But it does#i6t need to be that way. At the University of Utah, there are many programs "chat help students by supplying them with the resources"they need to recover from grief. At the Counseling Center, located in Room 426 Student Services Building, counselors cari provide free to low cost sessions to help ; students deal with their losses. Like many other campus support programs, no students will be turned away due to financial restraints. The Counseling Center can also provide information on handling the academic component of college such as withdrawing and retaking classes. Student Health Service, located at the Madsen Health Center, car^also offer health services at low cost for depression and orjie"r illnesses.: Research Foothill Family Clinic (801)486-3021 - Because all human relationships are unique, the recovery from grief is specific to each individual. Some students begin their recovery by engaging themselves In outside hobbies such as athletics, music and dance. Other students feel better once they discuss their thoughts with friends and family members. Whatever the case may be, it is important to understand that no student should feel alone in his or her grief. Many college students discover theii; own paths towards recovery; where understanding and support can pave way for new life, healing and hope. *• Foothill Family Clinic South (801) 365-1032 I scoured, not one athlete lists, oh, say, "The Godfather" as his or her favorite movie. Instead, Ute volleyball player Kate Robinson would rather watch "Sweet Home Alabama" and two-guard Heidi Carlson picks "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." Orlando Magic power forward Dwight Howard loves "Finding Nemo." Ute power forward Camie Oakey enjoys "Rocky I" through "V"—which is 8o percent fine. But "Rocky V"? Come on now, Camie. Raptors center Loren Woods "often critiques movies from a wide range of genres." His favorite? "Transformers." Georgia gymnast Katie Heenan is, hands down, the world's lamest movie connoisseur. Her horrible picks consist of "Elf," "Runaway Bride" and "How to Lose a Guy in IO Days." Not surprisingly, most athletes come from remarkably athletic families. Ute offensive linemen Josh and Jesse Boone have a brother, Aaron, who signed with the Carolina Panthers as a wide receiver, and a sister Amy who played basketball and volleyball for George Mason before playing semi-pro for the San Diego Waves. Ute Bryce Scanlon is Junior Seau's second cousin and so is San Diego State offensive lineman Chris Pino. That's not all. Arizona Wildcats quarterback Willie Tuitama is also related to Seau. Philadelphia forward Kyle Korver—who enjoys horseshoes, croquet and Frisbee golf in his free time—has a mother who once scored 74 points in a high-school game. Not everything runs in the family, however. Luke Nevill, who stands at 7 feet r inch, has a tiny twin brother. He's only 6 feet 6 inches. We've all heard of "The Great One," and "Air Jordan," but some of the nicknames athletes receive defy reason. Ute volleyball player Whitney Webb is dubbed "Alvasteiner-weiner" and "The Alvanator." Air Force basketball's Nick Welch likes to be called "Batman," whereas teammate Matt Holland prefers "Mr. Bojangles." Academy wide receiver Vic Thompson's alternative moniker is "Waffle House." Toni Kukoc owns numerous aliases in Europe, including "Pink Panther," "The Spider of Spit," "The Waiter" and "Kuki." Kooky, for sure. Teammates Bobby Simmons and Michael Redd battle for more than just playing time, since both share the nickname "Silky." There are many more media guides available at Sio a pop, and all are replete with such absurdities. Until I get them for free, I'll leave you to skim through those yourself. m.piper@chronicle.utah.edu .I VS.
