Hutchins is not alone when it comes to loans; Kelly said that most students have debts over $50,000. If the future of the aviation program continues to be up in the air, some students feel their rather sizable investments could be in jeopardy. "I'm not exactly sure how this will all play out," Hutchins said. "It bothers me and I think those who have made these decisions owe us an explanation." "This program will be here for the long term and it will continue to be a defining feature of the campus," Cook said when asked about the future of the aviation program. "Tremendous kudos go out to Dr. Smart and all the people that have helped and continue to help build this program." When asked to give further detail into why Smart left the program he gave birth to. Cook said he could not comment further as there were legal matters still pending surrounding the issue.

This new access to an evolving technology provides UVSC, as well as schools all over the world, education without borders or boundaries, Alarco said. It launches new avenues to learning that were not possible before, he added, pointing out the benefits of this technology becoming mainstream on campus.

The event will be called "Keep Us One Nation Under God," which is also the title of the Attorney General's address. Joining Mr. Shurtleffon stage to speak will be members of the Utah State Legislator, members of the Utah National Guard and families of those currently serving in Iraq. Utah Valley State's color guard will be in attendance, bearing the flag. "We will be celebrating our freedom to say 'Under God' as found in today's pledge, to show our support for a constitutional amendment against protest flag burning, and remember our fallen soldiers in wars past-including the current war the brave men and women of our armed forces are engaged in," Horn said. The College Republicans, who sponsored the recent showing of This Divided State, are attempting to project Utah Valley State as a more independent and diverse campus. Horn's opinion is that this will help to bring the school that much closer to becoming a university. Welcoming all students to attend the event, regardless of their political affiliation, Horn hopes that this event will have a successful turnout and help encourage future speakers to come to Utah Valley State. Horn warns that this event will be very conservative in nature and reflect the views held by Republicans. And though a difference of opinion is welcome, demonstrators should be made aware of plans to have strong police presence at the event. Politics are relevant to all students, and diversity is something that needs to be felt on campus, Horn also said. He added that the goal was to let people know that not all Republicans agree on the same issues-it is truly a diverse party.
