Show rHE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE Monday, December 7, 2009 5 Discounted tickets offered at Solitude Veronica Pineda STAFF WRITER The U is teaming up with Solitude Mountain Resort for the third annual Ski and Shred Red event Dec. i8 to let U students enjoy a day of skiing without breaking the bank. The event allows U students to get an all-day ski pass at the resort for $33, almost half the price of a normal day pass. The resort has provided the U with 300 tickets, which can be purchased at various places around campus. "We wanted the event to be late in the semester, but before all the students left back home for Winter Break," said Rob Jones of the U's Outdoor Recreation program and sponsors of the event. Only four of the 65 ski runs at Solitude are open, but with projected snowstorms in the near future, there should be more runs available for the event, said Nick Como, a marketing coordinator at Solitude. For the past two years, the event was held at Snowbird Ski Resort, which is more than twice the size of Solitude. The resort was changed to create a more intimate atmosphere, Jones said. "This is a special thing, a rare occasion," Como said. For an additional $6, the Last Chance Lodge at Solitude will provide a lunch of hot dogs, burgers, fries and drinks. The U's Outdoor Recreation Program will rent ski and snowboard equipment to the public for $12 a day.

The event is free and open to the public and will focus on the future of alternative energy, such as laser wind mapping, according to the U press release. On Tuesday, the Utah Science Technology and Research Initiative and The Leonardo will host "Cashing in on Green (Energy)!" at the Olive Bistro at so W. 200 South, from 5:3o p.m. to 7 p.m. Figuring out how countries can afford to run off of alternative energy methods is essential, but many public forums do not address the issue, said Lisa Davis, spokeswoman for The Leonardo. Guest speakers include Kent Udell, a U mechanical engineering professor; Bob Barson, with the Center for Active Sensing and Imagining at Utah State; and Nathan Furr, a business management professor from BYU. Udell and Barson both work researching and developing new ways to conserve energy, and Furr deals with the economics of green technology, Davis said. The speakers' different back- Is. r grounds will give the audience a fuller view of green technology than is usually offered, especially from Furr, Davis said. The discussion will be the first of USTAR and The Leonardo's "Leonardo After Hours," which will replace the two groups' "Lunch With Leo" events. "We're trying to make (our events) more accessible to the public by scheduling them later in the day," Davis said. People interested in attending can RSVP by e-mailing rsvp@ theleonardo.org or by calling 8oi531-9800. j.hibbard@ chronicle.utah.edu Follow us on Twitter! • . tttor co-vniTheChro-ny The University of Utah's Independent Student Voice Since 1890 ""Daily Utah Chronicle POLICE REPORT The Grinch would be proud A quest for a free Christmas tree left the U with one less—well, half of one less. Late Friday night, several young men were cutting off the top few feet of a tree in the U's disc-golf course, according to campus security. When the security officers came their way, the men ran and picked another tree with a hatchet once the coast was clear. The U Police Department does not have any suspects for the vandalism. A substance not to mix with eggnog Salt Lake City Police officers arrested a man doing heroine by the Rice-Eccles Stadium TRAX station last week. Compiled by Michael McFall TRUSTEES continued from Page 1 between student media and the U administration. Although rules would have prevented the advocate from controlling student media, professional journalists working at downtown news agencies and members of the The Daily Utah Chronicle were concerned the position would impede a free voice of journalism. Proposal drafters eventually cut the position. Even if the board votes for the merger, it will not go into effect until Summer Semester. It seems as though the Publications Council will stay as it is through the end of the academic year, said Board of Trustees secretary Rebecca Riley in an e-mail to the council, which oversees all student publications on campus. "We need to select students (for the new council) and find out who's interested," said Randy Dryer, chairman of the board. "We can't just create it and immediately fill it." If the board votes for the merger, it is also scheduled to revise the University Policy code to reflect the merge between student print and broadcast media on campus.
