New London Planetrees have already been planted on the South side of the Quad in front of the Ray B. West and Family Life buildings. The committee will continue planting trees over approximately the next ten years. The Norway Maples will be pruned as the London Planetrees need more light, and eventually removed. "It'll be an experiment," Kuhns said. The committe will always be looking to see if the trees become a hazard and will remove them if necessary. fessop: Developing college's management continuedfrom page 1 The production services unit is the staff who sell tickets, take reservations and serve as the stage crew in productions, among other services, Morrison said. The college currently has about 1,000 majors between the departments and 100 staff members, just over half of which are faculty, he said In addition to beginning the accreditation process, Jessop said he wants to meet with the faculty and staff of the college this semester. "We have an incredible brain-trust in our faculty," Jessop said. "I want to create a shared vision after the quality of education for our students." Jessop said that he wants the arts college to have a "grand vision" that includes everyone, from the CEO, so to speak, to people working on the assembly line." When it's all said and done, it's a quality product people want, Jessop said, referring to the programs offered through the college, but you cannot separate quality from the people. Jessop said he has been doing a lot of reading on management, looking at business models and meeting with those he feels can help him best manage the school. Jessop said the word college comes from the word "colleague," which means "likeminded friends," and the word "dean" at one time meant "the leader of ten." "I've been looking at relationship-based management," Jessop said. {{ - keith.burbank@aggiemail.usu.edu Kane said students currently attending USU will see "maybe two phases of an eight-phase project." He said he hopes people can see the project as a sustainable one. "It's such a gradual transition that people can see what's being done," he said.

Past judges have included Billy Collins, a former National Poet Laureate, Grace Schulman, editor for "The Nation," and Harold Bloom, a Yale humanities professor. Keillor is the host of two radio shows that air in syndication on National Public Radio. "Writer's Almanac" is a platform on which Keillor promotes poetry and letters from a wide variety of contemporary writers. On his other show, "A Prairie Home Companion," Keillor is known for emulating the old-time feel of classic radio shows. The show incorporates comic sketches, fabricated sponsors and advertisements, and other outrageous antics, said Ryan Monk, graduate instructor in the English department. "He's just so wholesome and absurd, it hurts ... in a good way, I mean that. It's one of the few things my dad and I can listen to and both find humor in," he said. "His cunning wit and versatility make him popular amongst a wide variety of audiences, as he appeals to multiple generations." Keillor was recently in Salt Lake City as part of a tour. Along with entertainment, he has also written several books, and is known for newspaper columns and magazine articles in many domestic and international publications. Spooner said the finalists to be sent to Keillow will be chosen mid-December. After he reads the finalists' works, he will select a winner who will be announced mid-January. After the winning manuscript is chosen, Keillor will write the publication's forward, a tradition and an honor bestowed upon winners by the judges, he said. The winner will receive a published copy of their book, which is extended in return for the $25 entry fee. The winner will also receive $1000 and any royalties generated by the publication. The Utah State University Press usually only publishes academic journals. "He's not a poet, or a critic, but because of his commitment to poetry and his massive, devoted audience, he has promoted it perhaps with more impact than anyone else," he said. - dan.whitney.smith@aggiemagusu.edu PACK H EAT WITH CACHE FIREARMS I --- CACHE VALLEYS ONLY DEDICATED FIREARMS STORE • Concealed Firearm Permit Classes *Ammunition Holsters Night Sights Installed *Yes, We Do Trades! • Gun Cleaning Reloading Supplies •Benchmade Knives* Scopes, Pellet Guns (435) 753-2606 Downloading bo lapbops is what we do best.
