THE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE Tuesday, December 8, 2009 MESTIZO continued from Page 1 The institute's members want to show the students that a better life is out there if they want it. They take them on field trips to the U to familiarize them with the financial aid office and the academic counselors to show them that there are people in higher education who want to help them succeed if they're willing, Mary Lucero said. A lot of the impoverished students come from broken homes with parents who did not go to college, Jimmy Lucero said. A lot of them don't think they can make much of themselves and continue a cycle of service labor work and disrespect to authority, which MICA is trying to change, he said. Even if the students do not attend college, the MICA members at least want them to stay on the right side of the law and become upstanding members of their community, he said. Jimmy Lucero said he knows it can work. Even before the creation of the institute, he participated in the mosaic project—painting murals on walls in the neighborhood—during summer 2008 with Mary Chacon and a lot of young students who used to be on the wrong side of the law. "A few of them used to tag in the past," he said. "Now, they were spending their time more constructively." If the institute closes next year, it will lose that opportunity—one these young students can't afford to lose, Lucero said. [e-mail] METH continued from Page 1 which was about 5o questions long. It asked about the officers' previous exposure to meth contaminants and what type of safety equipment they used, Hegmann said. However, only 533 officers responded in time to participate, and results of the study ended up being inconclusive, he said. "Part of the problem (with the study) was a lack of participation by police," said Rod Larson, director of industrial hygiene at the U center, who worked on the study. "You can't make up data." 7 Other than a lack of participation, Hegmann said it was hard to find conclusive evidence that meth lab exposure was specifically linked to cancer, because it is already such a common disease. Hegmann said his study group made efforts to inform every officer about the study, but he said he suspected that many officers might have never heard about it. "Everybody we could get our hands on, we contacted them," he said. However, the only way the group was able to contact many officers was by having police agencies send out letters about the questionnaire. "We did the best with what tools we were given," he said. Hegmann said the mailing lists at many of the municipalities were not up-to-date. "A sizeable chunk of letters came back with wrong addresses," he said. Hegmann said he would still be interested in doing a study about the effects of busting meth labs while wearing insufficient protection and its potential link to cancer, but he said the study would have to be drastically different than this one. Without better participation or better methods, it would just be more wasted time and money, he said. j.hibbard@ chronicle.utah.edu SanDiego County Credit Union CLASSIFIEDS Miscellaneous Needed—Student mothers on welfare or assistance attending the U.
