Robles' bill will rival Rep. Stephen Sandstrom's proposed law modeled after Arizona's. "It's a well-respected establishment and the perfect forum for the panels," said Brian Schott, managing editor of Utah Policy. The audience is always engaged and showcases to them what's to come in the next 45 days, he said. The Hinckley Institute will have other panels all week, including more on immigration, the economy and global security, featuring Jacob Dayan, consul general of Israel for the southwest United States. a.rivera@chronicle.utah.edu 3 DINOSAUR STREETCAR continued from Page 1 continued from Page 1 just discovered in Argentina," Irmis said. As the Tawa was revealed in North America and the Eodromaeus was found much farther south, this has become impressive additional evidence that the dinosaurs were going back and forth between continents, he said. Irmis spends one month each year in New Mexico, as well as taking trips throughout Southern Utah. Many expeditions take place in monuments where later deposits of dinosaurs can be found. "A lot of my work relates to early dinosaurs and their origins, which we have made several discoveries, as well as reporting two new species," Irmis said. Irmis works alongside professors from various states, including Sterling Nesbitt of the University of Washington, Alan Turner at Stoney Brook in New York, and Nathan Smith from the Field Museum in Chicago. "There are two components to the excitement of making a new discovery—first is when you uncover the fossils in the ground and find something that no one has ever laid eyes on before, and then second is when the study begins and we are able to fully understand and appreciate its significance—the story of evolution falls into place," he said. m.lenihanclarke@ chronicle.utah.edu Childers, a freshman in psychology. "I think it's really cool, said Thu Hoang, a freshman in computer engineering. I'd definitely use it. It's a better way to get around—more energyefficient." The estimated total cost of the project is $55.5 million. The $26 million from TIGER, plus a $5 million contribution from Salt Lake City and South Salt Lake make up $31 million. Another $18 million comes from UTA, according to agency spokesman Gerry GHANA continued from Page 1 in hopes to discover causes of death in children under the age of five." Although students lived in hotels close to their research sites, many would travel to distant rural areas to conduct research and interviews. "We went into some of the most remote locations I've ever been," Carey said. Last summer was the first project that involved the U's College of Nursing. "Nursing students would work days in hospitals, then alternate in rural communities with rural health nurses," said Ryan Harvey, a senior in nursing who worked Carpenter. The streetcar will fill in some gaps of public transit, allowing for Salt Lake residents to get to just about anything from just about anywhere. It will also likely spur development and growth, as convenience to business locations will improve. "(The streetcar) could offer more job opportunities for students who can't drive," said Kyle Chittenden, a sophomore in film. Some are not as convinced of the proposed streetcar's effectiveness for U students. "It might be kind of nice if you lived there," said Ryan Stolley, a graduate student in chem- istry. "I don't think I'd use it. I usually take the bus." Although doubt exists for some, hope is that the streetcar will help increase mobility and connectedness, and that it will come as a welcomed benefit to other U students. "I think it will really help to combine the Sugar House community with the Salt Lake community," Hoang said. Project plans include the use of the abandoned railroad corridor between 2100 South and I-8o, with completion estimated by Christmas 2012 Or early 2013. Construction is set to start spring 2011. l.schmitz@ chronicle.utah.edu alongside Carey during the program. "We were able to give immunizations and baby health checks." Students in the project participated in field work in conjunction with the host medical facility in Kumasi, Ghana—the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. "We were essentially working with community to better the community," Harvey said. At the end of their threeweek stay, Carey and Harvey were able to present their research findings and plans for future work to the people of Kumasi. "Community leaders came to our hotel, where we gave a scientific presentation, highlighting preliminary informa- tion we found," Carey said. "It was very empowering for both sides." Despite poor conditions and little medical care, the people of Ghana made an impact on the study abroad students with their positive attitudes. "These people have nothing compared to Americans, and yet have everything," Carey said. "They see the necessity and value of relationships much more than we do." Carey plans to go back again this summer to continue her research and programbuilding. "It was a great and unique experience," she said. l.schmitz@ chronicle.utah.edu Coming Soon: i5allywDeall T Deals for food, entertainment anc,.. everything else for students, faculty and staff at the University of Utah.
