DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE 4 SERVICE Continued from page 1 "Sometimes international students have a hard time finding an ongoing placement because they're here only for a semester, or there might be some sort of background check and they can't get that," Basinger said. Vu Truong, an international student from Vietnam working on her Ph.D. in metallurgical engineering, said she loves to volunteer and it was her first time at a Bennion Center activity. After Saturday, she and other international students from places such as France, Taiwan and Pakistan decided they would try to get more involved with the center. This year, the Bennion Center doubled the project locations to keep everyone busy in anticipation of high demand. "There aren't that many organizations that can effectively use a large group of volunteers repeatedly," Basinger said. "These are organizations that can really accommodate 3o or so people all at once and have a meaningful project for them that they can accomplish and be helpful for a couple of hours." Isaiah Johnson, a junior in social work, continually participates with the Bennion Center and helped at the Day of Service. He said even though there were a lot of people there, no one was bored and there was plenty to do. Basinger attributed the high attendance to the fact it was also President Barack Obama's National Day of Service. Martina Stewart, associate director of education with the University College Advising, received emails and phone calls about the National Day of Service and heard there was a way to get involved with the U. She brought her family with her to serve for the day. "It was very convenient," she said. Other projects included a deep cleaning of the First Step House, a nonprofit substance abuse center that has worked with the Bennion Center for nearly four years, and minor repairs and cleaning at the Maliheh Free Clinic. [e-mail] Tuesday, January 22, 2013 PIPES Continued from page 1 "Buildings are built to have air always coming through them ... cool air comes in, freezing the pipes," he said. Higgins said minimal damage occurred in these cases as the breaks were mainly contained to equipment rooms and required only a few hours of repair to replace the sprinkler heads. The Daily Utah Chronicle "I know it wastes water," Masters said. "[But] as long as you leave a faucet on, that will prevent the pipes from freezing." Higgins said the cost to fix damages found throughout the U "varies significantly." The average cost ranges between $5,000 and $20,000, although some jobs can be welded for $200. "Freezing pipes are not abnormal, but there's definitely been a few more this year," he said. [e-mail] Contact Marjorie Clark at [e-mail] for more information. is hiring DO YOU SUFFER FROM ANXIETY?
