He said researchers will grind cheese into small particles and work to reform the block. He said this allows them to study the cheese product. McMahon said many cheeses that are created come from experience and research efforts. He said these specific cheeses have been given local names. For example, one type of cheese studied at the Western Dairy Center gives a traditional Parmesan flavor. McMahon said when researchers decided this was a cheese product they could make on a regular basis, they needed to create a name.

"We wanted the name to say something about the university, with an Italian twist on it," he said. "It's one of our most popular." Another popular flavor of cheese is called Old Juniper, named after the old tree in Logan Canyon. McMahon said this cheese is unique because special cultures were added and the cheese was placed through a special aging process that helps to enhance its rich cheddar flavor. He said this cheese is typically sold when it becomes four to five months old.

Tom Rohrer, director of bands, said the school songs are still a large part of campus life, especially at sporting events. "During football games we play the fight song pregame when we are facing the home side and in the 'A' formation and then we face the student section to play 'The Scotsman'," said Rohrer. "We also play the fight song after a touchdown." For basketball games, Rohrer said the band typically plays the fight song as the team comes out but do not have a specific time they usually play "The Scotsman." Rohrer said he feels USU games would not be the same without these songs being played by the band. "The college athletic experience is unique from pro games in a stark way," Rohrer said. "Having a live band personalizes the experience for students."

Calif. - A s college students return to campus and life away from home - some for the first time - department stores lure shoppers with "must-have" decorating items to inject style into bland dorm rooms. Coordinated bed linens and a throw rug can tie a room together, but what about the basics for that roughly 150 square feet of living space for two? Dorm residential advisers, or RAs, for Fresno State attended training sessions to prepare for move-in day. Erin Boele, director of housing, asked them their five dormroom essentials (dorm rooms include small microwave ovens and mini-fridge) and got these answers: 1: Alarm clock. 2: Shower caddy and shower shoes (flip flops). 3: Mattress topper for extra comfort. 4: Personal computer and flash drive. 5: First-aid kit (bandages, aspirin, cold medicine.) It wouldn't hurt to bring a clothes hamper and room freshener, they added. Corrie Hilty is a senior at Fresno Pacific University and was an RA last year. Her suggestions include wrinkle release spray. "People bring ironing boards and irons, but no one ever irons in dorms," she says. She agrees with the need for padding dorm-room mattresses, but don't bother with twin-size sheets with deep pockets. "You want a mattress top in extra long that's thick and soft," she says. "Dorm mattresses are very old and uncomfortable." Hilty also suggests a personal computer, surge protector, digital camera, coffee maker and filter water pitcher. "You should also bring earplugs or (noise reduction) headphones for when your roommate wants to listen to music late at night or you want to study." Candice Bluntson has been a resident adviser at the University of CaliforniaMerced for three years. ; "A microwave oven or mini-fridge is good, especially if you don't have access to a car," she says. The dining room closes at 9 or 10 p.m., but late at night you need stuff to eat. Even if your roommate has one, it's good to have your own."
