Yesterday, Nye visited USU to read some of her favorite pieces of poetry she said exemplified her cult ural background, her experiences and her views on the world around her. "The act of writing is like a daily vitamin," Nye said. "Write your things down. You won't ever be sorry." She also said, "We are all born poets. Some of us just keep it up." Nye said poems take on lives - people shouldn't hold on to them, they should send them out so it has a chance to get a life. She said she likes to work on lots of different pieces at once, "like cooking in a kitchen. You don't cook one thing at a time," she said. During her reading, she quoted photographer Russell Lee, who said, "Walk through the door. Don't just go up to the house and stare at it and think you know the house and you know the people who live in the house. Walk through the door." When working on a piece, she said to talk to people, get to know them, try different writing styles and find a niche. She also said to look for inspiration all around, looking at everything from billboards to headlines. When asked how she obtained such a great entertaining and presenting voice, Nye said writers have to get a voice and find their style. She found her voice, she said, by having to keep 700 high school student's attention. Nye said she is inspired by Logan. She said she has never seen a more beautiful sunrise than the one in Logan, and then she thanked everyone for braving the snowy roads to come to the event. Following the ending applause, she smiled and said, "Good luck with your weather map." -//. drue. t@aggiemail. usu.edu B E S T the street from campus are able to retain the information longer. In the next 10 years, McDaniel said he thinks all textbooks will be online, and he is working on doing research into having each textbook fit to the individual. This could include embedded questions, making the text explicitly clear for those of a lower reading level and having those on a higher level have to draw more conclusions from their readings, McDaniel said. -alison.baugh@aggiemail.usu. edu Single Student Apartments NPR: Reporter panning gold Across the Street from Campus [] continued from page 1 Private Bedrooms and Bathrooms Desk, Bed & Bookcase in each Bedroom CLARKSBURG • 677 EAST 600 NORTH BRESLAW 679 EAST 600 NORTH Large Closet - Vacuum Fully Furnished Laundry in each Apartment Modern Kitchen Facilities Cable TV with Jacks in each Bedroom STONELEIGH • 675 HAST 600 NORTH Living Room with TV, DVD & VCR HILLSIDE M A N O R - 676 EAST 6 0 0 N O R T H Private Parking - No Hassles . ., Central Heating and Air Conditioning High Speed DSL Internet Service in each Bedroom HIGHLANDER • 720 NORTH 700 EAST Phone in Apartment and Bedrooms EDINBURGH 710 NORTH 700 EAST Fire Places in Clarksburg, Breslaw & Stoneleigh FOR MORE I N F O R M A T I O N CALL DARLA (435) 755'8525 • Pager (435) 206-1929 darladclark@pCLi.net A c c e p t i n g A p p l i c a t i o n s f o r S u m m e r a n d N e x t S c h o o l Y e a r "I got a glimpse of what it was like," she said.
