Poor conditions and excessive speeds contributed to the crash on the busy street. Speed, slippery road result in crash By Michael McFall Thursday's snowstorm wrecked at least two people's days. A gold Toyota Camry, traveling west on 100 South, crashed into a silver Ford SRG, traveling east, shortly after 2 p.m. The driver of the Toyota, a middleage woman, was traveling too fast for Thursday's snowy conditions, according to the Salt Lake City Police Department. She slid into the opposing lane when she turned the corner from North Campus Drive to 100 South, crashing into a silver Ford a student Eg, was driving. Neither driver complained of injury, police said. The hood of the Toyota was completely smashed. The Ford lost its front bumper and sustained other minor damages to the front of the vehicle. Both cars were towed. Traffic headed eastbound on 100 South was narrowed to one lane for about half an hour as police cleared the scene. The woman was cited for speeding, but officers at the scene did not have the exact speed she was traveling.

Students looking to contribute more to their community or bolster their résumé should make the Bennion Center their first stop. I know students are busy with school and jobs, but who doesn't have a little time during their four or five years at the U to make a difference and give something back to the community from which students take so much? You don't need to have loads of experience or time to volunteer at the Bennion Center. Christy Tobolski, public relations coordinator for the center, said, "The misconception about volunteering is that students don't have the time or experience... This is where you get experience." Don't most students have a little spare time here and there? I know U students are busy, but cut back a little on the video games or television and walk into the Bennion Center. Students might be surprised to find they actually do have the time.

With more than 60 service projects covering a variety of community issues, students can surely find a way to contribute. The Bennion Center has opportunities for students that require as little as a day's worth of work. But why would you want to give just a few hours? Students should take the time to really get involved. Even if students' only motivation is to improve their grad school applications or résumés, the Bennion Center is the place to do it. The Service Learning Scholarship Program offered to students is one of the best opportunities on campus to give a little and get something great in return. The program is beneficial to both students and the community. According to JaNae Lilly, service-learning coordinator, "Students come away knowing how to directly apply their degree to their community." What future employer wouldn't appreciate that?
