Photos courtesy of Corey Christiansen BY BRIANNE PALMER staff writer Corey Christiansen, an instructor of guitar performance and jazz studies, leaned back in his chair in an office buried in the University Reserves building, his stature framed by the cozy clutter of sheet music and books plastering the wall behind him. "Utah State asked me to be a visiting professor for a few years, so here I am," Christiansen said. He was following in the footsteps of his father, Mike, who also teaches at USU. Christiansen was raised in Smithfield and said he is happy to be back in Cache Valley, teaching at the school where he earned his undergraduate degree in guitar performance. "He was a student when I first started teaching here," said professor Todd Fallis, who teaches low brass and jazz studies. I This one is for the ladies out there. We men complain nearly constantly about not knowing what in the heck is going on your head. You are complicated, confusing and sometimes crazy. If only there were study guides for every woman.

Despite these issues, I have a partial solution for you foxy females out there. Here it is: man up! Alright, before you burn everything from this article but my byline to hunt me down and hurt me, hear me out. Women expect men to do everything in dating.

According to the World Health Organization, influenza is a viral infection that affects the nose, throat, bronchi and sometimes the lungs. Once infected, a person's symptoms usually last a week, and are recognized by a sudden arrival of high fever, aching muscles, headache and severe cough, sore throat and rhinitis. In infants, the elderly and people with other serious medical conditions, infection can lead to pneumonia or death. "I recommend it unless they have a specific reason not to get it, like they're allergic to the vaccine or if they have something that will make them sicker if they get the vaccine," said James Davis, the Student Health and Wellness Center director and physician. "I do recommend that people in this age group get the vaccine." Weslie Hatch, a freshman studying special education, said she doesn't usually get a flu shot and doesn't think its necessary. LARK "I guess overall I just don't think they do much," she said. "I think it's kind of like medicine. It'll help, for sure, but you can still get sick. You just need to take care of yourself to make sure you don't catch the flu." Tyson Glover, a sophomore majoring in civil engineering, is required to get a flu shot at the beginning of the year while in the Army. "I'm forced to get one, but if I had the choice I probably wouldn't," he said. "I think the flu shot only covers you from one type of the flu and there are so many out there. I mean they're free, which is nice, but I'm not sure if I'm super convinced on it or not." According to Davis, there are two different kinds of flu vaccines. One type of flu vaccine is broken up from destroyed and damaged flu virus and that creates an antigenic reaction. The other kind of vaccine is made from a flu virus that's been weakened in order for people to contract a mild flu infection which leads to immunity.

I essentially have waited most of my life for a true sequel to James Cameron's 1986 film "Aliens." The later entries in the film franchise were awful and they were a disservice to the universe that Cameron originally expanded from Ridley Scott.
